Κεφάλαιο 3

|
| After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day, | ΜΕΤΑ τοῦτο ἤνοιξεν ᾿Ιὼβ τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ καὶ κατηράσατο τὴν ἡμέραν αὐτοῦ |
|
2
|
2
|
| saying, | λέγων· |
|
3
|
3
|
| Let the day perish in which I was born, and that night in which they said, Behold a man-child! | ἀπόλοιτο ἡ ἡμέρα, ἐν ᾗ ἐγεννήθην, καὶ ἡ νὺξ ἐκείνη ᾗ εἶπαν· ἰδοὺ ἄρσεν. |
|
4
|

|
| Let that night be darkness, and let not the Lord regard it from above, neither let light come upon it. | ἡ νὺξ ἐκείνη εἴη σκότος, καὶ μὴ ἀναζητήσαι αὐτὴν ὁ Κύριος ἄνωθεν, μηδὲ ἔλθοι εἰς αὐτὴν φέγγος· |
|
5
|
5
|
| But let darkness and the shadow of death seize it; let blackness come upon it; | ἐκλάβοι δὲ αὐτὴν σκότος καὶ σκιὰ θανάτου, ἐπέλθοι ἐπ᾿ αὐτὴν γνόφος. καταραθείη ἡ ἡμέρα |
|
6
|
6
|
| let that day and night be cursed, let darkness carry them away; let it not come into the days of the year, neither let it be numbered with the days of the months. | καὶ ἡ νὺξ ἐκείνη, ἀπενέγκαιτο αὐτὴν σκότος· μὴ εἴη εἰς ἡμέρας ἐνιαυτοῦ, μηδὲ ἀριθμηθείη εἰς ἡμέρας μηνῶν· |
|
7
|
7
|
| But let that night be pain, and let not mirth come upon it, nor joy. | ἀλλὰ ἡ νὺξ ἐκείνη εἴη ὀδύνη, καὶ μὴ ἔλθοι ἐπ᾿ αὐτὴν εὐφροσύνη μηδὲ χαρμονή· |
|
8
|
8
|
| But let him that curses that day curse it, even he that is ready to attack the great whale. | ἀλλὰ καταράσαιτο αὐτὴν ὁ καταρώμενος τὴν ἡμέραν ἐκείνην, ὁ μέλλων τὸ μέγα κῆτος χειρώσασθαι. |
|

|

|
| Let the stars of that night be darkened; let it remain dark, and not come into light; and let it not see the morning star arise: | σκοτωθείη τὰ ἄστρα τῆς νυκτὸς ἐκείνης, ὑπομείναι καὶ εἰς φωτισμὸν μὴ ἔλθοι καὶ μὴ ἴδοι ἑωσφόρον ἀνατέλλοντα, |
|
10
|
10
|
| because it shut not up the gates of my mother's womb, for so it would have removed sorrow from my eyes. | ὅτι οὐ συνέκλεισε πύλας γαστρὸς μητρός μου· ἀπήλλαξε γὰρ ἂν πόνον ἀπὸ ὀφθαλμῶν μου. |
|
11
|
11
|
| For why died I not in the belly? and why did I not come forth from the womb and die immediately? | διατί γὰρ ἐν κοιλίᾳ οὐκ ἐτελεύτησα, ἐκ γαστρὸς δὲ ἐξῆλθον καὶ οὐκ εὐθὺς ἀπωλόμην; |
|
12
|
12
|
| And why did the knees support me? and why did I suck the breasts? | ἱνατί δὲ συνήντησάν μοι γόνατα; ἱνατί δὲ μαστοὺς ἐθήλασα; |
|
13
|
13
|
| Now I should have lain down and been quiet, I should have slept and been at rest, | νῦν ἂν κοιμηθεὶς ἡσύχασα, ὑπνώσας δὲ ἀνεπαυσάμην |
|
14
|
14
|
| with kings and councillors of the earth, who gloried in their swords; | μετὰ βασιλέων βουλευτῶν γῆς, οἳ ἐγαυριῶντο ἐπὶ ξίφεσιν, |
|
15
|
15
|
| or with rulers, whose gold was abundant, who filled their houses with silver: | ἢ μετὰ ἀρχόντων, ὧν πολὺς ὁ χρυσός, οἳ ἔπλησαν τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν ἀργυρίου, |
|
16
|
16
|
| or I should have been as an untimely birth proceeding from his mother's womb, or as infants who never saw light. | ἢ ὥσπερ ἔκτρωμα ἐκπορευόμενον ἐκ μήτρας μητρός, ἢ ὥσπερ νήπιοι, οἳ οὐκ εἶδον φῶς. |
|
17
|
17
|
| There the ungodly have burnt out the fury of rage; there the wearied in body rest. | ἐκεῖ ἀσεβεῖς ἐξέκαυσαν θυμὸν ὀργῆς, ἐκεῖ ἀνεπαύσαντο κατάκοποι τῷ σώματι· |
|
18
|
18
|
| And the men of old time have together ceased to hear the exactor's voice. | ὁμοθυμαδὸν δὲ οἱ αἰώνιοι οὐκ ἤκουσαν φωνὴν φορολόγου. |
|
19
|
19
|
| The small and great are there, and the servant that feared his lord. | μικρὸς καὶ μέγας ἐκεῖ ἐστι, καὶ θεράπων δεδοικὼς τὸν κύριον αὐτοῦ· |
|
20
|
20
|
| For why is light given to those who are in bitterness, and life to the souls which are in griefs? | ἱνατί γὰρ δέδοται τοῖς ἐν πικρίᾳ φῶς, ζωὴ δὲ ταῖς ἐν ὀδύναις ψυχαῖς; |
|
21
|
21
|
| who desire death, and obtain it not, digging for it as for treasures; | οἳ ἱμείρονται τοῦ θανάτου καὶ οὐ τυγχάνουσιν ἀνορύσσοντες ὥσπερ θησαυρούς, |
|
22
|
22
|
| and would be very joyful if they should gain it? | περιχαρεῖς δὲ ἐγένοντο ἐὰν κατατύχωσι. |
|
23
|
23
|
| Death is rest to such a man, for God has hedged him in. | θάνατος ἀνδρὶ ἀνάπαυμα, συνέκλεισε γὰρ ὁ Θεὸς κατ᾿ αὐτοῦ· |
|
24
|
24
|
| For my groaning comes before my food, and I weep being beset with terror. | πρὸ γὰρ τῶν σίτων μου στεναγμός μοι ἥκει, δακρύω δὲ ἐγὼ συνεχόμενος φόβῳ· |
|
25
|
25
|
| For the terror of which I meditated has come upon me, and that which I had feared has befallen me. | φόβος γάρ, ὅν ἐφρόντισα, ἦλθέ μοι, καὶ ὃν ἐδεδοίκειν, συνήντησέ μοι, |
|
26
|
26
|
| I was not at peace, nor quiet, nor had I rest; yet wrath came upon me. | οὔτε εἰρήνευσα οὔτε ἡσύχασα οὔτε ἀνεπαυσάμην, ἦλθε δέ μοι ὀργή. |
