Κεφάλαιο 4

| Then Eliphaz the Thæmanite answered and said, | ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ ᾿Ελιφὰζ ὁ Θαιμανίτης λέγει· |
|

|

|
| Hast thou been often spoken to in distress? but who shall endure the force of thy words? | μὴ πολλάκις σοι λελάληται ἐν κόπῳ; ἰσχὺν δὲ ρημάτων σου τίς ὑποίσει; |
|
3
|
3
|
| For whereas thou hast instructed many, and hast strengthened the hands of the weak one, | εἰ γὰρ σὺ ἐνουθέτησας πολλοὺς καὶ χεῖρας ἀσθενοῦς παρεκάλεσας, |
|

|

|
| and hast supported the failing with words, and hast imparted courage to feeble knees. | ἀσθενοῦντάς τε ἐξανέστησας ρήμασι, γόνασί τε ἀδυνατοῦσι θάρσος περιέθηκας, |
|
5
|

|
| Yet now that pain has come upon thee, and touched thee, thou art troubled. | νῦν δὲ ἥκει ἐπὶ σὲ πόνος καὶ ἥψατό σου, σὺ ἐσπούδασας. |
|

|

|
| Is not thy fear founded in folly, thy hope also, and the mischief of thy way? | πότερον οὐχ ὁ φόβος σού ἐστιν ἐν ἀφροσύνῃ καὶ ἡ ἐλπίς σου καὶ ἡ κακία τῆς ὁδοῦ σου; |
|

|

|
| Remember then who has perished, being pure? or when were the true-hearted utterly destroyed? | μνήσθητι οὖν, τίς καθαρὸς ὢν ἀπώλετο ἢ πότε ἀληθινοὶ ὁλόρριζοι ἀπώλοντο; |
|

|

|
| Accordingly as I have seen men ploughing barren places, and they that sow them will reap sorrows for themselves. | καθ᾿ ὃν τρόπον εἶδον τοὺς ἀροτριῶντας τὰ ἄτοπα, οἱ δὲ σπείροντες αὐτὰ ὀδύνας θεριοῦσιν ἑαυτοῖς. |
|

|
| They shall perish by the command of the Lord, and shall be utterly consumed by the breath of his wrath. | ἀπὸ προστάγματος Κυρίου ἀπολοῦνται, ἀπὸ δὲ πνεύματος ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ ἀφανισθήσονται. |
|

|

|
| The strength of the lion, and the voice of the lioness, and the exulting cry of serpents are quenched. | σθένος λέοντος, φωνὴ δὲ λεαίνης, γαυρίαμα δὲ δρακόντων ἐσβέσθη· |
|
11
|
11
|
| The old lion has perished for want of food, and the lions' whelps have forsaken one another. | μυρμηκολέων ὤλετο παρὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν βοράν, σκύμνοι δὲ λεόντων ἔλιπον ἀλλήλους. |
|
12
|

|
| But if there had been any truth in thy words, none of these evils would have befallen thee. Shall not mine ear receive excellent revelations from him? | εἰ δέ τι ρῆμα ἀληθινὸν ἐγεγόνει ἐν λόγοις σου, οὐθὲν ἄν σοι τούτων κακὸν ἀπήντησε. πότερον οὐ δέξεταί μου τὸ οὖς ἐξαίσια παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ; |
|
13
|
13
|
| But as when terror falls upon men, with dread and a sound in the night, | φόβοι δὲ καὶ ἠχὼ νυκτερινή, ἐπιπίπτων φόβος ἐπ᾿ ἀνθρώπους, |
|
14
|
14
|
| horror and trembling seized me, and caused all my bones greatly to shake. | φρίκη δέ μοι συνήντησε καὶ τρόμος καὶ μεγάλως μου τὰ ὀστᾶ διέσεισε, |
|
15
|
15
|
| And a spirit came before my face; and my hair and flesh quivered. | καὶ πνεῦμα ἐπὶ πρόσωπόν μου ἐπῆλθεν, ἔφριξαν δέ μου τρίχες καὶ σάρκες. |
|
16
|
16
|
| I arose and perceived it not: I looked, and there was no form before my eyes: but I only heard a breath and a voice, saying, | ἀνέστην, καὶ οὐκ ἐπέγνων· εἶδον, καὶ οὐκ ἦν μορφὴ πρὸ ὀφθαλμῶν μου, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ αὔραν καὶ φωνὴν ἤκουον· |
|
17
|
17
|
| What, shall a mortal be pure before the Lord? or a man be blameless in regard to his works? | τί γάρ; μὴ καθαρὸς ἔσται βροτὸς ἐναντίον τοῦ Κυρίου ἢ ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων αὐτοῦ ἄμεμπτος ἀνήρ; |
|
18
|
18
|
| Whereas he trusts not in his servants, and perceives perverseness in his angels. | εἰ κατὰ παίδων αὐτοῦ οὐ πιστεύει, κατὰ δὲ ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ σκολιόν τι ἐπενόησε, |
|
19
|
19
|
| But as for them that dwell in houses of clay, of whom we also are formed of the same clay, he smites them like a moth. | τοὺς δὲ κατοικοῦντας οἰκίας πηλίνας, ἐξ ὧν καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ πηλοῦ ἐσμεν, ἔπαισεν αὐτοὺς σητὸς τρόπον· |
|
20
|
20
|
| And from morning to evening they no longer exist: they have perished, because they cannot help themselves. | καὶ ἀπὸ πρωΐθεν μέχρις ἑσπέρας οὐκέτι εἰσί, παρὰ τὸ μὴ δύνασθαι αὐτοὺς ἑαυτοῖς βοηθῆσαι ἀπώλοντο. |
|
21
|
21
|
| For he blows upon them, and they are withered: they have perished for lack of wisdom. | ἐνεφύσησε γὰρ αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐξηράνθησαν, ἀπώλοντο παρὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν αὐτοὺς σοφίαν. |
