Chapter 11
|

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. |
