Κεφάλαιο 9

|
| Then Job answered and said, | ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ ᾿Ιὼβ λέγει· |
|
2
|
2
|
| I know of a truth that it is so: for how shall a mortal man be just before the Lord? | ἐπ᾿ ἀληθείας οἶδα, ὅτι οὕτως ἐστί· πῶς γὰρ ἔσται δίκαιος βροτὸς παρὰ Κυρίῳ; |
|
3
|
3
|
| For if he would enter into judgment with him, God would not hearken to him, so that he should answer to one of his charges of a thousand. | ἐὰν γὰρ βούληται κριθῆναι αὐτῷ, οὐ μὴ ὑπακούσῃ αὐτῷ, ἵνα μὴ ἀντείπῃ πρὸς ἕνα λόγον αὐτοῦ ἐκ χιλίων· |
|
4
|
4
|
| For he is wise in mind, and mighty, and great: who has hardened himself against him and endured? | σοφὸς γάρ ἐστι διανοίᾳ, κραταιός τε καὶ μέγας. τίς σκληρὸς γενόμενος ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ὑπέμεινεν; |
|
5
|
5
|
| Who wears out the mountains, and men know it not: who overturns them in anger. | ὁ παλαιῶν ὄρη καὶ οὐκ οἴδασιν, ὁ καταστρέφων αὐτὰ ὀργῇ· |
|
6
|
6
|
| Who shakes the earth under heaven from its foundations, and its pillars totter. | ὁ σείων τὴν ὑπ᾿ οὐρανὸν ἐκ θεμελίων, οἱ δὲ στῦλοι αὐτῆς σαλεύονται· |
|
7
|
7
|
| Who commands the sun, and it rises not; and he seals up the stars. | ὁ λέγων τῷ ἡλίῳ καὶ οὐκ ἀνατέλλει, κατὰ δὲ ἄστρων κατασφραγίζει· |
|
8
|
8
|
| Who alone has stretched out the heavens, and walks on the sea as on firm ground. | ὁ τανύσας τὸν οὐρανὸν μόνος, καὶ περιπατῶν ὡς ἐπ᾿ ἐδάφους ἐπὶ θαλάσσης· |
|
9
|
9
|
| Who makes Pleias, and Hesperus, and Arcturus, and the chambers of the south. | ὁ ποιῶν Πλειάδα καὶ ῞Εσπερον καὶ ᾿Αρκτοῦρον, καὶ ταμιεῖα νότου· |
|
10
|
10
|
| Who does great and unsearchable things; glorious also and excellent things, innumerable. | ὁ ποιῶν μεγάλα καὶ ἀνεξιχνίαστα, ἔνδοξά τε καὶ ἐξαίσια, ὧν οὐκ ἔστιν ἀριθμός. |
|
11
|
11
|
| If ever he should go beyond me, I shall not see him: if he should pass by me, neither thus have I known it. | ἐὰν ὑπερβῇ με, οὐ μὴ ἴδω· ἐὰν παρέλθῃ με, οὐδ᾿ ὧς ἔγνων. |
|
12
|
12
|
| If he would take away, who shall turn him back? or who shall say to him, What hast thou done? | ἐὰν ἀπαλλάξῃ, τίς ἀποστρέψει ἢ τίς ἐρεῖ αὐτῷ· τί ἐποίησας; |
|
13
|
13
|
| For if he has turned away his anger, the whales under heaven have stooped under him. | αὐτὸς γὰρ ἀπέστραπται ὀργήν, ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐκάμφθησαν κήτη τὰ ὑπ᾿ οὐρανόν. |
|
14
|
14
|
| Oh then that he would hearken to me, or judge my cause. | ἐὰν δέ μου ὑπακούσηται, ἦ διακρινεῖ τὰ ρήματά μου· |
|
15
|
15
|
| For though I be righteous, he will not hearken to me: I will intreat his judgment. | ἐάν τε γὰρ ὦ δίκαιος, οὐκ εἰσακούσεταί μου, τοῦ κρίματος αὐτοῦ δεηθήομαι· |
|
16
|
16
|
| And if I should call and he should not hearken, I cannot believe that he has listened to my voice. | ἐάν τε καλέσω καὶ μὴ ὑπακούσῃ, οὐ πιστεύω ὅτι εἰσακήκοέ μου τῆς φωνῆς. |
|
17
|
17
|
| Let him not crush me with a dark storm: but he has made my bruises many without cause. | μὴ γνόφῳ με ἐκτρίψῃ; πολλὰ δέ μου τὰ συντρίμματα πεποίηκε διακενῆς· |
|
18
|
18
|
| For he suffers me not to take breath, but he has filled me with bitterness. | οὐκ ἐᾷ γάρ με ἀναπνεῦσαι, ἐνέπλησε δέ με πικρίας. |
|
19
|
19
|
| For indeed he is strong in power: who then shall resist his judgment? | ὅτι μὲν γὰρ ἰσχύι κρατεῖ· τίς οὖν κρίματι αὐτοῦ ἀντιστήσεται; |
|
20
|
20
|
| For though I should seem righteous, my mouth will be profane: and though I should seem blameless, I shall be proved perverse. | ἐὰν γὰρ ὦ δίκαιος, τὸ στόμα μου ἀσεβήσει· ἐάν τε ὦ ἄμεμπτος, σκολιὸς ἀποβήσομαι. |
|
21
|
21
|
| For even if I have sinned, I know it not in my soul: but my life is taken away. | εἴτε γὰρ ἠσέβησα, οὐκ οἶδα τῇ ψυχῇ, πλὴν ὅτι ἀφαιρεῖταί μου ἡ ζωή. |
|
22
|
22
|
| Wherefore I said, Wrath slays the great and mighty man. | διὸ εἶπον· μέγα καὶ δυνάστην ἀπολλύει ὀργή, |
|
23
|
23
|
| For the worthless die, but the righteous are laughed to scorn. | ὅτι φαῦλοι ἐν θανάτῳ ἐξαισίῳ, ἀλλὰ δίκαιοι καταγελῶνται· |
|
24
|
24
|
| For they are delivered into the hands of the unrighteous man: he covers the faces of the judges of the earth: but if it be not he, who is it? | παραδέδονται γὰρ εἰς χεῖρας ἀσεβοῦς. πρόσωπα κριτῶν αὐτῆς συγκαλύπτει· εἰ δὲ μὴ αὐτός ἐστι, τίς ἐστιν; |
|
25
|
25
|
| But my life is swifter than a post: my days have fled away, and they knew it not. | ὁ δὲ βίος μού ἐστιν ἐλαφρότερος δρομέως· ἀπέδρασαν καὶ οὐκ εἴδοσαν. |
|
26
|
26
|
| Or again, is there a trace of their path left by ships? or is there one of the flying eagle as it seeks its prey? | ἢ καί ἐστι ναυσὶν ἴχνος ὁδοῦ ἢ ἀετοῦ πετομένου ζητοῦντος βοράν; |
|
27
|
27
|
| And if I should say, I will forget to speak, I will bow down my face and groan; | ἐάν τε γὰρ εἴπω, ἐπιλήσομαι λαλῶν, συγκύψας τῷ προσώπῳ στενάξω. |
|
28
|
28
|
| I quake in all my limbs, for I know that thou wilt not leave me alone as innocent. | σείομαι πᾶσι τοῖς μέλεσιν, οἶδα γάρ ὅτι οὐκ ἀθῶόν με ἐάσεις. |
|
29
|
29
|
| But since I am ungodly, why have I not died? | ἐπειδὴ δέ εἰμι ἀσεβής, διατί οὐκ ἀπέθανον; |
|
30
|
30
|
| For if I should wash myself with snow, and purge myself with pure hands, | ἐὰν γὰρ ἀπολούσωμαι χιόνι καὶ ἀποκαθάρωμαι χερσὶ καθαραῖς, |
|
31
|
31
|
| thou hadst thoroughly plunged me in filth, and my garment had abhorred me. | ἱκανῶς ἐν ρύπῳ με ἔβαψας, ἐβδελύξατο δέ με ἡ στολή· |
|
32
|
32
|
| For thou art not man like me, with whom I could contend, that we might come together to judgment. | οὐ γὰρ εἶ ἄνθρωπος κατ᾿ ἐμέ, ᾧ ἀντικρινοῦμαι, ἵνα ἔλθωμεν ὁμοθυμαδὸν εἰς κρίσιν. |
|
33
|
33
|
| Would that he our mediator were present, and a reprover, and one who should hear the cause between both. | εἴθε ἦν ὁ μεσίτης ἡμῶν καὶ ἐλέγχων καὶ διακούων ἀνὰ μέσον ἀμφοτέρων· |
|
34
|
34
|
| Let him remove his rod from me, and let not his fear terrify me: | ἀπαλλαξάτω ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ τὴν ράβδον, ὁ δὲ φόβος αὐτοῦ μή με στροβείτω, |
|
35
|
35
|
| so shall I not be afraid, but I will speak: for I am not thus conscious of guilt. | καὶ οὐ μὴ φοβηθῷ, ἀλλὰ λαλήσω· οὐ γὰρ οὕτω συνεπίσταμαι. |
