Κεφάλαιο 4

Then Eliphaz the Thæmanite answered and said,
|
ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ ᾿Ελιφὰζ ὁ Θαιμανίτης λέγει·
|
|
2
|
2
|
|
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,
|
|
4
|
4
|
|
and hast supported the failing with words, and hast imparted courage to feeble knees.
|
ἀσθενοῦντάς τε ἐξανέστησας ρήμασι, γόνασί τε ἀδυνατοῦσι θάρσος περιέθηκας,
|
|
5
|
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.
|
|
6
|
6
|
|
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;
|
|
7
|
7
|
|
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;
|
|
8
|
8
|
|
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.
|
|
9
|
9
|
|
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.
|
|
10
|

|
|
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
|
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.
|
