Chapter 6

Κεφάλαιο 6
|
|
1
|
1
|
|
But Job answered and said,
|
ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ ᾿Ιὼβ λέγει·
|
|
2
|
2
|
|
Oh that one would indeed weigh the wrath that is upon me, and take up my griefs in a balance together!
|
εἰ γάρ τις ἱστῶν στήσαι μου τὴν ὀργήν, τὰς δὲ ὀδύνας μου ἄραι ἐν ζυγῷ ὁμοθυμαδόν,
|
|
3
|
3
|
|
And verily they would be heavier than the sand by the seashore: but, as it seems, my words are vain.
|
καὶ δὴ ἄμμου παραλίας βαρυτέρα ἔσται. ἀλλ᾿ ὡς ἔοικε τὰ ρήματά μού ἐστι φαῦλα·
|
|
4
|
4
|
|
For the arrows of the Lord are in my body, whose violence drinks up my blood: whenever I am going to speak, they pierce me.
|
βέλη γὰρ Κυρίου ἐν τῷ σώματί μού ἐστιν, ὧν ὁ θυμὸς αὐτῶν ἐκπίνει μου τὸ αἷμα· ὅταν ἄρξωμαι λαλεῖν, κεντοῦσί με.
|
|

|

|
|
What then? will the wild ass bray for nothing, if he is not seeking food? or again, will the ox low at the manger, when he has fodder?
|
τί γάρ; μὴ διακενῆς κεκράξεται ὄνος ἄγριος, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ τὰ σῖτα ζητῶν; εἰ δὲ καὶ ρήξει φωνὴν βοῦς ἐπὶ φάτνης ἔχων τὰ βρώματα;
|
|
6
|
6
|
|
Shall bread be eaten without salt? or again, is there taste in empty words?
|
εἰ βρωθήσεται ἄρτος ἄνευ ἁλός; εἰ δὲ καὶ ἔστι γεῦμα ἐν ρήμασι κενοῖς;
|
|
7
|
7
|
|
For my wrath cannot cease; for I perceive my food as the smell of a lion to be loathsome.
|
οὐ δύναται γὰρ παύσασθαί μου ἡ ὀργή· βρόμον γὰρ ὁρῶ τὰ σῖτά μου ὥσπερ ὀσμὴν λέοντος·
|
|
8
|
8
|
|
For oh that he would grant my desire, and my petition might come, and the Lord would grant my hope!
|
εἰ γὰρ δώῃ καὶ ἔλθοι μου ἡ αἴτησις, καὶ τὴν ἐλπίδα μου δώῃ ὁ Κύριος.
|
|
9
|
9
|
|
Let the Lord begin and wound me, but let him not utterly destroy me.
|
ἀρξάμενος ὁ Κύριος τρωσάτω με, εἰς τέλος δὲ μή με ἀνελέτω.
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
Let the grave be my city, upon the walls of which I have leaped: I will not shrink from it; for I have not denied the holy words of my God.
|
εἴη δέ μου πόλις τάφος, ἐφ᾿ ἧς ἐπὶ τειχέων ἡλλόμην ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς, οὐ φείσομαι· οὐ γὰρ ἐψευσάμην ρήματα ἅγια Θεοῦ μου.
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
For what is my strength, that I continue? what is my time, that my soul endures?
|
τίς γάρ μου ἡ ἰσχύς, ὅτι ὑπομένω; ἢ τίς μου ὁ χρόνος, ὅτι ἀνέχεταί μου ἡ ψυχή;
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
|
μὴ ἰσχὺς λίθων ἡ ἰσχύς μου; ἢ αἱ σάρκες μού εἰσι χάλκεαι;
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
Or have I not trusted in him? but help is far from me.
|
ἢ οὐκ ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ ἐπεποίθειν; βοήθεια δὲ ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ ἄπεστιν.
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
Mercy has rejected me; and the visitation of the Lord has disregarded me.
|
ἀπείπατό με ἔλεος, ἐπισκοπὴ δὲ Κυρίου ὑπερεῖδέ με.
|
|
15
|
15
|
|
My nearest relations have not regarded me; they have passed me by like a failing brook, or like a wave.
|
οὐ προσεῖδόν με οἱ ἐγγύτατοί μου· ὥσπερ χειμάρρους ἐκλείπων ἢ ὥσπερ κῦμα παρῆλθόν με.
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
They who used to reverence me, now have come against me like snow or congealed ice.
|
οἵτινές με διευλαβοῦντο, νῦν ἐπιπεπτώκασί μοι ὥσπερ χιὼν ἢ κρύσταλλος πεπηγώς·
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
When it has melted at the approach of heat, it is not known what it was.
|
καθὼς τακεῖσα θέρμης γενομένης οὐκ ἐπεγνώσθη ὅπερ ἦν,
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
Thus I also have been deserted of all; and I am ruined, and become an outcast.
|
οὕτω κἀγὼ καταλείφθην ὑπὸ πάντων. ἀπωλόμην δὲ καὶ ἔξοικος ἐγενόμην.
|
|
19
|
19
|
|
Behold the ways of the Thæmanites, ye that mark the paths of the Sabæans.
|
ἴδετε ὁδοὺς Θαιμανῶν, ἀτραποὺς Σαβῶν, οἱ διορῶντες·
|
|
20
|
20
|
|
They too that trust in cities and riches shall come to shame.
|
καὶ αἰσχύνην ὀφειλήσουσιν οἱ ἐπὶ πόλεσι καὶ χρήμασι πεποιθότες.
|
|
21
|
21
|
|
But ye also have come to me without pity; so that beholding my wound ye are afraid.
|
ἀτὰρ δὲ καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐπέβητέ μοι ἀνελεημόνως, ὥστε ἰδόντες τὸ ἐμὸν τραῦμα φοβήθητε·
|
|
22
|
22
|
|
What? have I made any demand of you? or do I ask for strength from you,
|
τί γάρ; μή τι ἡμᾶς ᾔτησα ἢ τῆς παρ᾿ ὑμῶν ἰσχύος ἐπιδέομαι,
|
|
23
|
23
|
|
to deliver me from enemies, or to rescue me from the hand of the mighty ones?
|
ὥστε σῶσαί με ἐξ ἐχθρῶν ἢ ἐκ χειρὸς δυναστῶν ρύσασθαί με;
|
|
24
|
24
|
|
Teach ye me, and I will be silent: if in anything I have erred, tell me.
|
διδάξατέ με, ἐγὼ δὲ κωφεύσω· εἴ τι πεπλάνημαι, φράσατέ μοι.
|
|
25
|
25
|
|
But as it seems, the words of a true man are vain, because I do not ask strength of you.
|
ἀλλ᾿ ὡς ἔοικε, φαῦλα ἀληθινοῦ ρήματα, οὐ γὰρ παρ᾿ ὑμῶν ἰσχὺν αἰτοῦμαι·
|
|
26
|
26
|
|
Neither will your reproof cause me to cease my words, for neither will I endure the sound of your speech.
|
οὐδὲ ἔλεγχος ὑμῶν ρήμασί με παύσει, οὐδὲ γὰρ ὑμῶν φθέγμα ρήματος ἀνέξομαι.
|
|
27
|
27
|
|
Even because ye attack the fatherless, and insult your friend.
|
πλὴν ὅτι ἐπ᾿ ὀρφανῷ ἐπιπίπτετε, ἐνάλλεσθε δὲ ἐπὶ φίλῳ ὑμῶν.
|
|
28
|
28
|
|
But now, having looked upon your countenances, I will not lie.
|
νυνὶ δὲ εἰσβλέψας εἰς πρόσωπα ὑμῶν οὐ ψεύσομαι.
|
|
29
|
29
|
|
Sit down now, and let there not be unrighteousness; and unite again with the just.
|
καθίσατε δὴ καὶ μὴ εἴη ἄδικον, καὶ πάλιν τῷ δικαίῳ συνέρχεσθε.
|
|
30
|
30
|
|
For there is no injustice in my tongue; and does not my throat meditate understanding?
|
οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ἐν γλώσσῃ μου ἄδικον· ἢ ὁ λάρυγξ μου οὐχὶ σύνεσιν μελετᾷ;
|
