Chapter 3

Κεφάλαιο 3
|
|
1
|
1
|
|
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
|
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.
|
|
9
|
9
|
|
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.
