8 May those who curse days curse that day,

those who are ready to rouse Leviathan.

9 May its morning stars become dark;

may it wait for daylight in vain

and not see the first rays of dawn,

8 Let those curse it who curse the day,

who are ready to rouse up Leviathan.

9 Let the stars of its dawn be dark;

let it hope for light, but have none,

nor see the eyelids of the morning,

8 Let them curse it that curse the day,

Who are ready to raise up their mourning.

9 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark;

Let it look for light, but have none;

Neither let it see the dawning of the day:

8 Let those who are experts at cursing—

whose cursing could rouse Leviathan—

curse that day.

9 Let its morning stars remain dark.

Let it hope for light, but in vain;

may it never see the morning light.

8 May those curse it who curse the day,

Those who are ready to arouse Leviathan.

9 May the stars of its morning be dark;

May it look for light, but have none,

And not see the dawning of the day;

8 Let those who curse days curse that day.

Let them prepare to wake up the sea monster Leviathan.

9 Let that day’s morning stars never appear;

let it wait for daylight that never comes.

Don’t let it see the first light of dawn,

8 Let them curse it that curse the day,

Who are ready to rouse up leviathan.

9 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark:

Let it look for light, but have none;

Neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning:

8 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to rouse Leviathan; 9 Let the stars of its twilight be dark; let it wait for light, and have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the dawn:

8 Let those who curse the day

(those who know how to wake up Leviathan) 

curse that night. 

9 Let its stars turn dark before dawn. 

Let it hope for light and receive none. 

Let it not see the first light of dawn 

8 Let those who curse certain days

cast a spell on it,

those who are skilled in rousing Leviathan.

9 May its morning stars grow dark.

May it wait for daylight but have none;

may it not see the breaking of dawn.

8 Let those curse it who curse the Sea,

those who are skilled to rouse up Leviathan.

9 Let the stars of its dawn be dark;

let it hope for light, but have none;

may it not see the eyelids of the morning—

8 May people call down a curse on that day.

May those who are ready to wake up the sea monster Leviathan curse that day.

9 May its morning stars become dark.

May it lose all hope of ever seeing daylight.

May it not see the first light of the morning sun.

8 “Let those curse it who curse the day,

Who are prepared to rouse Leviathan.

9 “Let the stars of its twilight be darkened;

Let it wait for light but have none,

And let it not see the breaking dawn;
