Chapter 16
|
|

|
1
|
|
ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ ᾿Ιὼβ λέγει·
|
But Job answered and said,
|
|
2
|
2
|
|
ἀκήκοα τοιαῦτα πολλά, παρακλήτορες κακῶν πάντες.
|
I have heard many such things: poor comforters are ye all.
|
|
3
|
3
|
|
τί γάρ; μὴ τάξις ἐστὶ ρήμασι πνεύματος; ἢ τί παρενοχλήσει σοι, ὅτι ἀποκρίνῃ;
|
What! is there any reason in vain words? or what will hinder thee from answering?
|
|
4
|
4
|
|
κἀγὼ καθ᾿ ὑμᾶς λαλήσω, εἰ ὑπέκειτό γε ἡ ψυχὴ ὑμῶν ἀντὶ τῆς ἐμῆς· εἶτ᾿ ἐναλοῦμαι ὑμῖν ρήμασι, κινήσω δὲ καθ᾿ ὑμῶν κεφαλήν·
|
I also will speak as ye do: if indeed your soul were in my soul's stead, then would I insult you with words, and I would shake my head at you.
|
|
5
|
5
|
|
εἴη δὲ ἰσχὺς ἐν τῷ στόματί μου, κίνησιν δὲ χειλέων οὐ φείσομαι.
|
And would there were strength in my mouth, and I would not spare the movement of my lips.
|
|
6
|
6
|
|
ἐὰν γὰρ λαλήσω, οὐκ ἀλγήσω τὸ τραῦμα· ἐὰν δὲ καὶ σιωπήσω, τί ἔλαττον τρωθήσομαι;
|
For if I should speak, I shall not feel the pain of my wound: and if I should be silent, how shall I be wounded the less?
|
|
7
|
7
|
|
νῦν δὲ κατάκοπόν με πεποίηκε, μωρόν, σεσηπότα,
|
But now he has made me weary, and a worn-out fool; and thou hast laid hold of me.
|
|
8
|
8
|
|
καὶ ἐπελάβου μου, εἰς μαρτύριον ἐγενήθη· καὶ ἀνέστη ἐν ἐμοὶ τὸ ψεῦδός μου, κατὰ πρόσωπόν μου ἀνταπεκρίθη.
|
My falsehood has become a testimony, and has risen up against me: it has confronted me to my face.
|
|
9
|
9
|
|
ὀργῇ χρησάμενος κατέβαλέ με, ἔβρυξεν ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ τοὺς ὀδόντας, βέλη πειρατῶν αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ ἐμοὶ ἔπεσεν.
|
In his anger he has cast me down; he has gnashed his teeth upon me: the weapons of his robbers have fallen upon me.
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
ἀκίσιν ὀφθαλμῶν ἐνήλατο, ὀξεῖ ἔπαισέ με εἰς τὰ γόνατα, ὁμοθυμαδὸν δὲ κατέδραμον ἐπ᾿ ἐμοί·
|
He has attacked me with the keen glances of his eyes; with his sharp spear he has smitten me down upon my knees; and they have run upon me with one accord.
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
παρέδωκε γάρ με ὁ Κύριος εἰς χεῖρας ἀδίκων, ἐπὶ δὲ ἀσεβέσιν ἔρριψέ με.
|
For the Lord has delivered me into the hands of unrighteous men, and thrown me upon the ungodly.
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
εἰρηνεύοντα διεσκέδασέ με, λαβών με τῆς κόμης διέτιλε, κατέστησέ με ὥσπερ σκοπόν.
|
When I was at peace he distracted me: he took me by the hair of the head, and plucked it out: he set me up as a mark.
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
ἐκύκλωσάν με λόγχαις βάλλοντες εἰς νεφρούς μου, οὐ φειδόμενοι ἐξέχεαν εἰς τὴν γῆν τὴν χολήν μου·
|
They surrounded me with spears, aiming at my reins: without sparing me they poured out my gall upon the ground.
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
κατέβαλόν με πτῶμα ἐπὶ πτώματι, ἔδραμον πρός με δυνάμενοι.
|
They overthrew me with fall upon fall: they ran upon me in their might.
|
|
15
|
15
|
|
σάκκον ἔρραψαν ἐπὶ βύρσης μου, τὸ δὲ σθένος μου ἐν γῇ ἐσβέσθη.
|
They sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and my strength has been spent on the ground.
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
ἡ γαστήρ μου συγκέκαυται ἀπὸ κλαυθμοῦ, ἐπὶ δὲ βλεφάροις μου σκιά.
|
My belly has been parched with wailing, and darkness is on my eyelids.
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
ἄδικον δὲ οὐδὲν ἦν ἐν χερσί μου, εὐχὴ δέ μου καθαρά.
|
Yet there was no injustice in my hands, and my prayer is pure.
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
γῆ, μὴ ἐπικαλύψῃ ἐφ᾿ αἵματι τῆς σαρκός μου, μηδὲ εἴη τόπος τῇ κραυγῇ μου.
|
Earth, cover not over the blood of my flesh, and let my cry have no place.
|
|
19
|
19
|
|
καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἐν οὐρανοῖς ὁ μάρτυς μου, ὁ δὲ συνίστωρ μου ἐν ὑψίστοις.
|
And now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my advocate is on high.
|
|
20
|
20
|
|
ἀφίκοιτό μου ἡ δέησις πρὸς Κύριον, ἔναντι δὲ αὐτοῦ στάζοι μου ὁ ὀφθαλμός.
|
Let my supplication come to the Lord, and let mine eye weep before him.
|
|
21
|
21
|
|
εἴη δὲ ἔλεγχος ἀνδρὶ ἔναντι Κυρίου καὶ υἱῷ ἀνθρώπου τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ.
|
Oh that a man might plead before the Lord, even as the son of man with his neighbour!
|
|
22
|
22
|
|
ἔτη δὲ ἀριθμητὰ ἥκασιν, ὁδῷ δέ, ᾖ οὐκ ἐπαναστραφήσομαι, πορεύσομαι.
|
But my years are numbered and their end come, and I shall go by the way by which I shall not return.
|
