|
| ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ ᾿Ιὼβ λέγει· | But Job answered and said, |
|
2
|
2
|
| ἀκούσατε ἀκούσατέ μου τῶν λόγων, ἵνα μὴ ᾖ μοι παρ᾿ ὑμῶν αὕτη ἡ παράκλησις. | Hear ye, hear ye my words, that I may not have this consolation from you. |
|
3
|
3
|
| ἄρατέ με, ἐγὼ δὲ λαλήσω, εἶτ᾿ οὐ καταγελάσετέ μου. | Raise me, and I will speak; then ye shall not laugh me to scorn. |
|
4
|
4
|
| τί γάρ; μὴ ἀνθρώπου μου ἡ ἔλεγξις; ἢ διατί οὐ θυμωθήσομαι; | What! is my reproof of man? and why should I not be angry? |
|
5
|
5
|
| εἰσβλέψαντες εἰς ἐμὲ θαυμάσετε χεῖρα θέντες ἐπὶ σιαγόνι· | Look upon me, and wonder, laying your hand upon your cheek. |
|
6
|
6
|
| ἐάν τε γὰρ μνησθῶ, ἐσπούδακα, ἔχουσι δέ μου τὰς σάρκας ὀδύναι. | For even when I remember, I am alarmed, and pains seize my flesh. |
|
7
|
7
|
| διατὶ ἀσεβεῖς ζῶσι, πεπαλαίωνται δὲ καὶ ἐν πλούτῳ; | Wherefore do the ungodly live, and grow old even in wealth? |
|
8
|
8
|
| ὁ σπόρος αὐτῶν κατὰ ψυχήν, τὰ δὲ τέκνα αὐτῶν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς. | Their seed is according to their desire, and their children are in their sight. |
|
9
|
9
|
| οἱ οἶκοι αὐτῶν εὐθηνοῦσι, φόβος δὲ οὐδαμοῦ, μάστιξ δὲ παρὰ Κυρίου οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῖς. | Their houses are prosperous, neither have they any where cause for fear, neither is there a scourge from the Lord upon them. |
|
10
|
10
|
| ἡ βοῦς αὐτῶν οὐκ ὠμοτόκησε, διεσώθη δὲ αὐτῶν ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχουσα καὶ οὐκ ἔσφαλε. | Their cow does not cast her calf, and their beast with young is safe, and does not miscarry. |
|
11
|
11
|
| μένουσε δὲ ὡς πρόβατα αἰώνια, τὰ δὲ παιδία αὐτῶν προσπαίζουσιν | And they remain as an unfailing flock, and their children play before them, taking up the psaltery and harp; |
|
12
|
12
|
| ἀναλαβόντες ψαλτήριον καὶ κιθάραν καὶ εὐφραίνονται φωνῇ ψαλμοῦ. | and they rejoice at the voice of a song. |
|
13
|
13
|
| συνετέλεσαν δὲ ἐν ἀγαθοῖς τὸν βίον αὐτῶν, ἐν δὲ ἀναπαύσει ᾅδου ἐκοιμήθησαν. | And they spend their days in wealth, and fall asleep in the rest of the grave. |
|
14
|
14
|
| λέγει δὲ Κυρίῳ· ἀπόστα ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ, ὁδούς σου εἰδέναι οὐ βούλομαι· | Yet such a man says to the Lord, Depart from me; I desire not to know thy ways. |
|
15
|
15
|
| τί ἱκανός, ὅτι δουλεύσομεν αὐτῷ; καὶ τίς ὠφέλεια, ὅτι ἀπαντήσομεν αὐτῷ; | What is the Mighty One, that we should serve him? and what profit is there that we should approach him? |
|
16
|
16
|
| ἐν χερσὶ γὰρ ἦν αὐτῶν τὰ ἀγαθά, ἔργα δὲ ἀσεβῶν οὐκ ἐφορᾷ. | For their good things were in their hands, but he regards not the works of the ungodly. |
|
17
|
17
|
| οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀσεβῶν λύχνος σβεσθήσεται, ἐπελεύσεται δὲ αὐτοῖς ἡ καταστροφή, ὠδῖνες δὲ αὐτοὺς ἕξουσιν ἀπὸ ὀργῆς. | Nevertheless, the lamp of the ungodly also shall be put out, and destruction shall come upon them, and pangs of vengeance shall seize them. |
|
18
|
18
|
| ἔσονται δὲ ὥσπερ ἄχυρα ὑπ᾿ ἀνέμου ἢ ὥσπερ κονιορτός, ὃν ὑφείλετο λαῖλαψ. | And they shall be as chaff before the wind, or as dust which the storm has taken up. |
|
19
|
19
|
| ἐκλίποι υἱοὺς τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ, ἀνταποδώσει πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ γνώσεται. | Let his substance fail to supply his children: God shall recompense him, and he shall know it. |
|
20
|
20
|
| ἴδοισαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ σφαγήν, ἀπὸ δὲ Κυρίου μὴ διασωθείη· | Let his eyes see his own destruction, and let him not be saved by the Lord. |
|
21
|
21
|
| ὅτι τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ ἐν οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀριθμοὶ μηνῶν αὐτοῦ διῃρέθησαν. | For his desire is in his house with him, and the number of his months has been suddenly cut off. |
|
22
|
22
|
| πότερον οὐχὶ ὁ Κύριός ἐστιν ὁ διδάσκων σύνεσιν καὶ ἐπιστήμην; αὐτὸς δὲ φόνους διακρινεῖ; | Is it not the Lord who teaches understanding and knowledge? and does not he judge murders? |
|
23
|
23
|
| οὗτος ἀποθανεῖται ἐν κράτει ἁπλοσύνης αὐτοῦ, ὅλος δὲ εὐπαθῶν καὶ εὐθηνῶν· | One shall die in his perfect strength, and wholly at ease and prosperous; |
|
24
|
24
|
| τὰ δὲ ἔγκατα αὐτοῦ πλήρη στέατος, μυελὸς δὲ αὐτοῦ διαχεῖται. | and his inwards are full of fat, and his marrow is diffused throughout him. |
|
25
|
25
|
| ὁ δὲ τελευτᾷ ὑπὸ πικρίας ψυχῆς, οὐ φαγὼν οὐδὲν ἀγαθόν. | And another dies in bitterness of soul, not eating any good thing. |
|
26
|
26
|
| ὁμοθυμαδὸν δὲ ἐπὶ γῆς κοιμῶνται, σαπρία δὲ αὐτοὺς ἐκάλυψεν. | But they lie down in the earth together, and corruption covers them. |
|
27
|
27
|
| ὥστε οἶδα ὑμᾶς ὅτι τόλμῃ ἐπίκεισθέ μοι· | So I know you, that ye presumptuously attack me: |
|
28
|
28
|
| ὥστε ἐρεῖτε· ποῦ ἐστιν οἶκος ἄρχοντος; καὶ ποῦ ἐστιν ἡ σκέπη τῶν σκηνωμάτων τῶν ἀσεβῶν; | so that ye will say, Where is the house of the prince? and where is the covering of the tabernacles of the ungodly? |
|
29
|
29
|
| ἐρωτήσατε παραπορευομένους ὁδόν, καὶ τὰ σημεῖα αὐτῶν οὐκ ἀπαλλοτριώσετε· | Ask those that go by the way, and do not disown their tokens. |
|
30
|
30
|
| ὅτι εἰς ἡμέραν ἀπωλείας κουφίζεται ὁ πονηρός, εἰς ἡμέραν ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ ἀπαχθήσονται. | For the wicked hastens to the day of destruction: they shall be led away for the day of his vengeance. |
|
31
|
31
|
| τίς ἀπαγγελεῖ ἐπὶ προσώπου αὐτοῦ τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ; καὶ αὐτὸς ἐποίησε, τίς ἀνταποδώσει αὐτῷ; | Who will tell him his way to his face, whereas he has done it? who shall recompense him? |
|
32
|
32
|
| καὶ αὐτὸς εἰς τάφους ἀπηνέχθη καὶ ἐπὶ σωρῶν ἠγρύπνησεν. | And he has been led away to the tombs, and he has watched over the heaps. |
|
33
|
33
|
| ἐγλυκάνθησαν αὐτῷ χάλικες χειμάρρου, καὶ ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ἀπελεύσεται, καὶ ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ ἀναρίθμητοι. | The stones of the valley have been sweet to him, and every man shall depart after him, and there are innumerable ones before him. |
|
34
|
34
|
| πῶς δὲ παρακαλεῖτέ με κενά; τὸ δὲ ἐμὲ καταπαύσασθαι ἀφ᾿ ὑμῶν οὐδέν. | How then do ye comfort me in vain? whereas I have no rest from your molestation. |
