Chapter 11
|
|
1
|
1
|
|
ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ Σωφὰρ ὁ Μιναῖος λέγει·
|
Then Sophar the Minæan answered and said,
|
|
2
|
2
|
|
ὁ τὰ πολλὰ λέγων, καὶ ἀντακούσεται· ἢ καὶ ὁ εὔλαλος οἴεται εἶναι δίκαιος; εὐλογημένος γεννητὸς γυναικὸς ὀλιγόβιος.
|
He that speaks much, should also hear on the other side: or does the fluent speaker think himself to be righteous? blessed is the short-lived offspring of woman.
|
|
3
|
3
|
|
μὴ πολὺς ἐν ρήμασι γίνου, οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἀντικρινόμενός σοι·
|
Be not a speaker of many words; for is there none to answer thee?
|
|
4
|
4
|
|
μὴ γὰρ λέγε ὅτι καθαρός εἰμι τοῖς ἔργοις καὶ ἄμεμπτος ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ.
|
For say not, I am pure in my works, and blameless before him.
|
|
5
|
5
|
|
ἀλλὰ πῶς ἂν ὁ Κύριος λαλήσαι πρός σε, καὶ ἀνοίξει χείλη αὐτοῦ μετὰ σοῦ;
|
But oh that the Lord would speak to thee, and open his lips with thee!
|
|
6
|
6
|
|
εἶτα ἀναγγελεῖ σοι δύναμιν σοφίας, ὅτι διπλοῦς ἔσται τῶν κατά σέ· καὶ τότε γνώσῃ ὅτι ἄξιά σοι ἀπέβη ἀπὸ Κυρίου ὧν ἡμάρτηκας.
|
Then shall he declare to thee the power of wisdom; for it shall be double of that which is with thee: and then shalt thou know, that a just recompence of thy sins has come to thee from the Lord.
|
|
7
|
7
|
|
ἦ ἴχνος Κυρίου εὑρήσεις ἢ εἰς τὰ ἔσχατα ἀφίκου, ἃ ἐποίησεν ὁ Παντοκράτωρ;
|
Wilt thou find out the traces of the Lord? or hast thou come to the end of that which the Almighty has made?
|
|
8
|
8
|
|
ὑψηλὸς ὁ οὐρανός, καὶ τί ποιήσεις; βαθύτερα δὲ τῶν ἐν ᾃδου τί οἶδας;
|
Heaven is high; and what wilt thou do? and there are deeper things than those in hell; what dost thou know?
|
|
9
|
9
|
|
ἢ μακρότερα μέτρου γῆς ἢ εὔρους θαλάσσης;
|
Or longer than the measure of the earth, or the breadth of the sea.
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
ἐὰν δὲ καταστρέψῃ τὰ πάντα, τίς ἐρεῖ αὐτῷ· τί ἐποίησας;
|
And if he should overthrow all things, who will say to him, What hast thou done?
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
αὐτὸς γὰρ οἶδεν ἔργα ἀνόμων, ἰδὼν δὲ ἄτοπα οὐ παρόψεται.
|
For he knows the works of transgressors; and when he sees wickedness, he will not overlook it.
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
ἄνθρωπος δὲ ἄλλως νήχεται λόγοις, βροτὸς δὲ γεννητὸς γυναικὸς ἴσα ὄνῳ ἐρημίτῃ.
|
But man vainly buoys himself up with words; and a mortal born of woman is like an ass of the desert.
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
εἰ γὰρ σὺ καθαρὰν ἔθου τὴν καρδίαν σου, ὑπτιάζεις δὲ χεῖρας πρὸς αὐτόν,
|
For if thou hast made thine heart pure, and liftest up thine hands towards him;
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
εἰ ἄνομόν τί ἐστιν ἐν χερσί σου, πόρρω ποίησον αὐτὸ ἀπὸ σοῦ, ἀδικία δὲ ἐν διαίτῃ σου μὴ αὐλισθήτω.
|
if there is any iniquity in thy hands, put it far from thee, and let not unrighteousness lodge in thy habitation.
|
|
15
|
15
|
|
οὕτως γὰρ ἀναλάμψει σου τὸ πρόσωπον ὥσπερ ὕδωρ καθαρόν, ἐκδύσῃ δὲ ρύπον, καὶ οὐ μὴ φοβηθῇς·
|
For thus shall thy countenance shine again, as pure water; and thou shalt divest thyself of uncleanness, and shalt not fear.
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
καὶ τὸν κόπον ἐπιλήσῃ ὥσπερ κῦμα παρελθὸν καὶ οὐ πτοηθήσῃ.
|
And thou shalt forget trouble, as a wave that has passed by; and thou shalt not be scared.
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
ἡ δὲ εὐχή σου ὥσπερ ἑωσφόρος, ἐκ δὲ μεσημβρίας ἀνατελεῖ σοι ζωή·
|
And thy prayer shall be as the morning star, and life shall arise to thee as from the noon-day.
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
πεποιθώς τε ἔσῃ ὅτι ἔστι σοι ἐλπίς, ἐκ δὲ μερίμνης καὶ φροντίδος ἀναφανεῖταί σοι εἰρήνη.
|
And thou shalt be confident, because thou hast hope; and peace shall dawn to thee from out of anxiety and care.
|
|
19
|
19
|
|
ἡσυχάσεις γάρ, καὶ οὐ ἔσται ὁ πολεμῶν σε· μεταβαλόμενοι δὲ πολλοί σου δεηθήσονται.
|
For thou shalt be at ease, and there shall be no one to fight against thee; and many shall charge, and make supplication to thee.
|
|
20
|
20
|
|
σωτηρία δὲ αὐτοὺς ἀπολείψει· ἡ γὰρ ἐλπὶς αὐτῶν ἀπώλεια, ὀφθαλμοὶ δὲ ἀσεβῶν τακήσονται.
|
But safety shall fail them; for their hope is destruction, and the eyes of the ungodly shall waste away.
|
