Κεφάλαιο 13

|
| Behold, mine eye has seen these things, and mine ear has heard them. | ΙΔΟΥ ταῦτα ἑώρακέ μου ὁ ὀφθαλμὸς καὶ ἀκήκοέ μου τὸ οὖς· |
|
2
|
2
|
| And I know all that ye too know; and I have not less understanding than you. | καὶ οἶδα ὅσα καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐπίστασθε, καὶ οὐκ ἀσυνετώτερός εἰμι ὑμῶν. |
|

|

|
| Nevertheless I will speak to the Lord, and I will reason before him, if he will. | οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλ᾿ ἐγὼ πρὸς Κύριον λαλήσω, ἐλέγξω δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ἐὰν βούληται. |
|
4
|
4
|
| But ye are all bad physicians, and healers of diseases. | ὑμεῖς δέ ἐστε ἰατροὶ ἄδικοι καὶ ἰαταὶ κακῶν πάντες. |
|
5
|
5
|
| But would that ye were silent, and it would be wisdom to you in the end. | εἴη δὲ ὑμῖν κωφεῦσαι, καὶ ἀποβήσεται ὑμῖν εἰς σοφίαν. |
|
6
|
6
|
| But hear ye the reasoning of my mouth, and attend to the judgment of my lips. | ἀκούσατε ἔλεγχον τοῦ στόματός μου, κρίσιν δὲ χειλέων μου προσέχετε. |
|
7
|
7
|
| Do ye not speak before the Lord, and utter deceit before him? | πότερον οὐκ ἔναντι Κυρίου λαλεῖτε, ἔναντι δὲ αὐτοῦ φθέγγεσθε δόλον; |
|
8
|
8
|
| Or will ye draw back? nay, do ye yourselves be judges. | ἦ ὑποστελεῖσθε; ὑμεῖς δὲ αὐτοὶ κριταὶ γίνεσθε. |
|
9
|

|
| For it were well if he would thoroughly search you: for though doing all things in your power ye should attach yourselves to him, | καλόν γε, ἐὰν ἐξιχνιάσῃ ὑμᾶς· εἰ γὰρ τὰ πάντα ποιοῦντες προστεθήσεσθε αὐτῷ, |
|
10
|
10
|
| he will not reprove you at all the less: but if moreover ye should secretly respect persons, | οὐθὲν ἧττον ἐλέγξει ὑμᾶς· εἰ δὲ καὶ κρυφῇ πρόσωπα θαυμάσεσθε, |
|
11
|
11
|
| shall not his whirlpool sweep you round, and terror from him fall upon you? | πότερον οὐχὶ δεινὰ αὐτοῦ στροβήσει ὑμᾶς, φόβος δὲ παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐπιπεσεῖται ὑμῖν; |
|
12
|
12
|
| And your glorying shall prove in the end to you like ashes, and your body like a body of clay. | ἀποβήσεται δὲ ὑμῶν τὸ γαυρίαμα ἴσα σποδῷ, τὸ δὲ σῶμα πήλινον. |
|
13
|
13
|
| Be silent, that I may speak, and cease from mine anger, | κωφεύσατε, ἵνα λαλήσω καὶ ἀναπαύσωμαι θυμοῦ |
|
14
|
14
|
| while I may take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand. | ἀναλαβὼν τὰς σάρκας μου τοῖς ὀδοῦσι, ψυχὴν δέ μου θήσω ἐν χειρί. |
|
15
|
15
|
| Though the Mighty One should lay hand upon me, forasmuch as he has begun, verily I will speak, and plead before him. | ἐάν με χειρώσηται ὁ δυνάστης, ἐπεὶ καὶ ἦρκται, ἦ μὴν λαλήσω καὶ ἐλέγξω ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ· |
|
16
|
16
|
| And this shall turn to me for salvation; for fraud shall have no entrance before him. | καὶ τοῦτό μοι ἀποβήσεται εἰς σωτηρίαν, οὐ γὰρ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ δόλος εἰσελεύσεται. |
|
17
|
17
|
| Hear, hear ye my words, for I will declare in your hearing. | ἀκούσατε ἀκούσατε τὰ ρήματά μου, ἀναγγελῶ γὰρ ὑμῶν ἀκουόντων. |
|
18
|
18
|
| Behold, I am near my judgment: I know that I shall appear evidently just. | ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐγγύς εἰμι τοῦ κρίματός μου, οἶδα ἐγὼ ὅτι δίκαιος ἀναφανοῦμαι· |
|
19
|
19
|
| For who is he that shall plead with me, that I should now be silent, and expire? | τίς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ κριθησόμενός μοι, ὅτι νῦν κωφεύσω καὶ ἐκλείψω; |
|
20
|
20
|
| But grant me two things: then I will not hide myself from thy face. | δυοῖν δέ μοι χρήσῃ· τότε ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου σου οὐ κρυβήσομαι. |
|
21
|
21
|
| Withhold thine hand from me: and let not thy fear terrify me. | τὴν χεῖρα ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ ἀπέχου, καὶ ὁ φόβος σου μή με καταπλησσέτω. |
|
22
|
22
|
| Then shalt thou call, and I will hearken to thee: or thou shalt speak, and I will give thee an answer. | εἶτα καλέσεις, ἐγὼ δέ σοι ὑπακούσομαι· ἢ λαλήσεις, ἐγὼ δέ σοι δώσω ἀνταπόκρισιν. |
|
23
|
23
|
| How many are my sins and my transgressions? teach me what they are. | πόσαι εἰσὶν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι μου καὶ ἀνομίαι μου; δίδαξόν με τίνες εἰσί. |
|
24
|
24
|
| Wherefore hidest thou thyself from me, and deemest me thine enemy? | διατί ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ κρύπτῃ, ἥγησαι δέ με ὑπεναντίον σοι; |
|
25
|
25
|
| Wilt thou be startled at me, as at a leaf shaken by the wind? or wilt thou set thyself against me as against grass borne upon the breeze? | ἦ ὡς φύλλον κινούμενον ὑπὸ ἀνέμου εὐλαβηθήσῃ ἢ ὡς χόρτῳ φερομένῳ ὑπὸ πνεύματος ἀντίκεισαί μοι; |
|
26
|
26
|
| For thou hast written evil things against me, and thou hast compassed me with the sins of my youth. | ὅτι κατέγραψας κατ᾿ ἐμοῦ κακά, περιέθηκας δέ μοι νεότητος ἁμαρτίας, |
|
27
|
27
|
| And thou hast placed my foot in the stocks; and thou hast watched all my works, and hast penetrated to my heels. | ἔθου δέ μου τὸν πόδα ἐν κωλύματι, ἐφύλαξας δέ μου πάντα τὰ ἔργα, εἰς δὲ ρίζας τῶν ποδῶν μου ἀφίκου· |
|
28
|
28
|
| I am as that which waxes old like a bottle, or like a moth-eaten garment. | ὃ παλαιοῦται ἴσα ἀσκῷ ἢ ὥσπερ ἱμάτιον σητόβρωτον. |
