And the Lord God answered Job, and said,
|
ΚΑΙ ἀπεκρίθη Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τῷ ᾿Ιὼβ καὶ εἶπε·
|
|
2
|
2
|
|
Will any one pervert judgment with the Mighty One? and he that reproves God, let him return it for answer.
|
μὴ κρίσιν μετὰ ἱκανοῦ ἐκκλινεῖ, ἐλέγχων δὲ Θεὸν ἀποκριθήσεται αὐτήν;
|
|
3
|
3
|
|
And Job answered and said to the Lord,
|
ὑπολαβὼν δὲ ᾿Ιὼβ λέγει τῷ Κυρίῳ·
|
|
4
|
4
|
|
Why do I yet plead? being rebuked even while reproving the Lord: hearing such things, whereas I am nothing: and what shall I answer to these arguments? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.
|
τί ἔτι ἐγὼ κρίνομαι, νουθετούμενος καὶ ἐλέγχων Κύριον, ἀκούων τοιαῦτα οὐθὲν ὤν; ἐγὼ δὲ τίνα ἀπόκρισιν δῶ πρὸς ταῦτα; χεῖρα θήσω ἐπὶ στόματί μου·
|
|
5
|
5
|
|
I have spoken once; but I will not do so a second time.
|
ἅπαξ λελάληκα, ἐπὶ δὲ τῷ δευτέρῳ οὐ προσθήσω.
|
|
6
|
6
|
|
And the Lord yet again answered and spoke to Job out of the cloud, saying,
|
ἔτι δὲ ὑπολαβὼν ὁ Κύριος εἶπε τῷ ᾿Ιὼβ ἐκ τοῦ νέφους·
|
|
7
|
7
|
|
Nay, gird up now thy loins like a man; and I will ask thee, and do thou answer me.
|
μή, ἀλλὰ ζῶσαι ὥσπερ ἀνὴρ τὴν ὀσφύν σου, ἐρωτήσω δέ σε, σὺ δέ μοι ἀπόκριναι·
|
|
8
|
8
|
|
Do not set aside my judgment: and dost thou think that I have dealt with thee in any other way, than that thou mightest appear to be righteous?
|
μὴ ἀποποιοῦ μου τὸ κρίμα. οἴει δέ με ἄλλως σοι κεχρηματικέναι ἢ ἵνα ἀναφανῇς δίκαιος;
|
|
9
|
9
|
|
Hast thou an arm like the Lord's? or dost thou thunder with a voice like his?
|
ἦ βραχίων σοί ἐστι κατὰ τοῦ Κυρίου, ἢ φωνῇ κατ᾿ αὐτὸν βροντᾷς;
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
Assume now a lofty bearing and power; and clothe thyself with glory and honour.
|
ἀνάλαβε δὴ ὕψος καὶ δύναμιν, δόξαν δὲ καὶ τιμὴν ἀμφίασαι.
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
And send forth messengers with wrath; and lay low every haughty one.
|
ἀπόστειλον δὲ ἀγγέλους ὀργῇ, πάντα δὲ ὑβριστὴν ταπείνωσον·
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
Bring down also the proud man; and consume at once the ungodly.
|
ὑπερήφανον δὲ σβέσον, σῆψον δὲ ἀσεβεῖς παραχρῆμα,
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
And hide them together in the earth; and fill their faces with shame.
|
κρύψον δὲ εἰς γῆν ὁμοθυμαδόν, τὰ δὲ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ἀτιμίας ἔμπλησον·
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
Then will I confess that thy right hand can save thee.
|
ὁμολογήσω ὅτι δύναται ἡ δεξιά σου σῶσαι.
|
|
15
|
15
|
|
But now look at the wild beasts with thee; they eat grass like oxen.
|
ἀλλὰ δὴ ἰδοὺ θηρία παρά σοι, χόρτον ἴσα βουσὶν ἐσθίουσιν.
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
Behold now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
|
ἰδοὺ δὴ ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ ὀσφύϊ, ἡ δὲ δύναμις αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ ὀμφαλοῦ γαστρός·
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
He sets up his tail like a cypress; and his nerves are wrapped together.
|
ἔστησεν οὐρὰν ὡς κυπάρισσον, τὰ δὲ νεῦρα αὐτοῦ συμπέπλεκται·
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
His sides are sides of brass; and his backbone is as cast iron.
|
αἱ πλευραὶ αὐτοῦ πλευραὶ χάλκειαι, ἡ δὲ ράχις αὐτοῦ σίδηρος χυτός.
|
|
19
|
19
|
|
This is the chief of the creation of the Lord; made to be played with by his angels.
|
τοῦτ᾿ ἔστιν ἀρχὴ πλάσματος Κυρίου, πεποιημένον ἐγκαταπαίζεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ.
|
|
20
|
20
|
|
And when he has gone up to a steep mountain, he causes joy to the quadrupeds in the deep.
|
ἐπελθὼν δὲ ἐπ᾿ ὄρος ἀκρότομον ἐποίησε χαρμονὴν τετράποσιν ἐν τῷ ταρτάρῳ.
|
|
21
|
21
|
|
He lies under trees of every kind, by the papyrus, and reed, and bulrush.
|
ὑπὸ παντοδαπὰ δένδρα κοιμᾶται, παρὰ πάπυρον καὶ κάλαμον καὶ βούτομον.
|
|
22
|
22
|
|
And the great trees make a shadow over him with their branches, and so do the bushes of the field.
|
σκιάζονται δὲ ἐν αὐτῷ δένδρα μεγάλα σὺν ραδάμνοις καὶ κλῶνες ἀγροῦ.
|
|
23
|
23
|
|
If there should be a flood, he will not perceive it; he trusts that Jordan will rush up into his mouth.
|
ἐὰν γένηται πλήμμυρα, οὐ μὴ αἰσθηθῇ· πέποιθεν ὅτι προσκρούσει ὁ ᾿Ιορδάνης εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ.
|
|
24
|
24
|
|
Yet one shall take him in his sight; one shall catch him with a cord, and pierce his nose.
|
ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ αὐτοῦ δέξεται αὐτόν, ἐνσκολιευόμενος τρήσει ρῖνα.
|
|
25
|
25
|
|
But wilt thou catch the serpent with a hook, and put a halter about his nose?
|
ἄξεις δὲ δράκοντα ἐν ἀγκίστρῳ, περιθήσεις δὲ φορβαίαν περὶ ρῖνα αὐτοῦ;
|
|
26
|
26
|
|
Or wilt thou fasten a ring in his nostril, and bore his lip with a clasp?
|
εἰ δήσεις κρίκον ἐν τῷ μυκτῆρι αὐτοῦ, ψελλίῳ δὲ τρυπήσεις τὸ χεῖλος αὐτοῦ;
|
|
27
|
27
|
|
Will he address thee with a petition? softly, with the voice of a suppliant?
|
λαλήσει δέ σοι δεήσει, ἱκετηρίᾳ μαλακῶς;
|
|
28
|
28
|
|
And will he make a covenant with thee? and wilt thou take him for a perpetual servant?
|
θήσεται δὲ μετὰ σοῦ διαθήκην; λήψῃ δὲ αὐτὸν δοῦλον αἰώνιον;
|
|
29
|
29
|
|
And wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or bind him as a sparrow for a child?
|
παίξῃ δὲ ἐν αὐτῷ ὥσπερ ὀρνέῳ ἢ δήσεις αὐτὸν ὥσπερ στρουθίον παιδίῳ;
|
|
30
|
30
|
|
And do the nations feed upon him, and the nations of the Phœnicians share him?
|
ἐνσιτοῦνται δὲ ἐν αὐτῷ ἔθνη, μεριτεύονται δὲ αὐτὸν Φοινίκων ἔθνη;
|
|
31
|
31
|
|
And all the ships come together would not be able to bear the mere skin of his tail; neither shall they carry his head in fishing-vessels.
|
πᾶν δὲ πλωτὸν συνελθὸν οὐ μὴ ἐνέγκωσι βύρσαν μίαν οὐρᾶς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν πλοίοις ἁλιέων κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ.
|
|
32
|
32
|
|
But thou shalt lay thy hand upon him once, remembering the war that is waged by his mouth; and let it not be done any more.
|
ἐπιθήσεις δὲ αὐτῷ χεῖρα μνησθεὶς πόλεμον τὸν γινόμενον ἐν σώματι αὐτοῦ, καὶ μηκέτι γινέσθω.
