Chapter 9
|
Κεφάλαιο 9
|
|
1
|
1
|
|
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.
