אָרוּר הַיּוֹם אֲשֶׁר יֻלַּדְתִּי בּוֹ יוֹם אֲשֶׁר־יְלָדַתְנִי אִמִּי אַל־יְהִי בָרֽוּךְ
Cursed be the day Wherein I was born; The day wherein my mother bore me, Let it not be blessed.
אָרוּר הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר בִּשַּׂר אֶת־אָבִי לֵאמֹר יֻֽלַּד־לְךָ בֵּן זָכָר שַׂמֵּחַ שִׂמֳּחָֽהוּ
Cursed be the man who brought tidings To my father, saying: ‘A man-child is born unto thee’; Making him very glad.
וְהָיָה הָאִישׁ הַהוּא כֶּֽעָרִים אֲשֶׁר־הָפַךְ יְהוָה וְלֹא נִחָם וְשָׁמַע זְעָקָה בַּבֹּקֶר וּתְרוּעָה בְּעֵת צָהֳרָֽיִם
And let that man be as the cities Which the LORD overthrew, and repented not; And let him hear a cry in the morning, And an alarm at noontide;
אֲשֶׁר לֹא־מוֹתְתַנִי מֵרָחֶם וַתְּהִי־לִי אִמִּי קִבְרִי וְרַחְמָהֿ הֲרַת עוֹלָֽם
Because He slew me not from the womb; And so my mother would have been my grave, And her womb always great.
לָמָּה זֶּה מֵרֶחֶם יָצָאתִי לִרְאוֹת עָמָל וְיָגוֹן וַיִּכְלוּ בְּבֹשֶׁת יָמָֽי
Wherefore came I forth out of the womb To see labour and sorrow, That my days should be consumed in shame?
