Chapter 23

1
|
|
ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ ᾿Ιὼβ λέγει·
|
Then Job answered and said,
|
|
2
|
2
|
|
καὶ δὴ οἶδα ὅτι ἐκ χειρός μου ἡ ἔλεγξίς ἐστι, καὶ ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ βαρεῖα γέγονεν ἐπ᾿ ἐμῷ στεναγμῷ.
|
Yea, I know that pleading is out of my reach; and his hand has been made heavy upon my groaning.
|
|
3
|
3
|
|
τίς δ᾿ ἄρα γνοίη ὅτι εὕροιμι αὐτὸν καὶ ἔλθοιμι εἰς τέλος;
|
Who would then know that I might find him, and come to an end of the matter?
|
|
4
|
4
|
|
εἴποιμι δὲ ἐμαυτοῦ κρίμα, τὸ δὲ στόμα μου ἐμπλήσαι ἐλέγχων·
|
And I would plead my own cause, and he would fill my mouth with arguments.
|
|
5
|
5
|
|
γνοίην δὲ ἰάματα, ἅ μοι ἐρεῖ, αἰσθοίμην δέ τίνα μοι ἀπαγγελεῖ.
|
And I would know the remedies which he would speak to me, and I would perceive what he would tell me.
|
|
6
|
6
|
|
καὶ ἐν πολλῇ ἰσχύϊ ἐπελεύσεταί μοι, εἶτα ἐν ἀπειλῇ μοι οὐ χρήσεται·
|
Though he should come on me in his great strength, then he would not threaten me;
|
|
7
|
7
|
|
ἀλήθεια γὰρ καὶ ἔλεγχος παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ, ἐξαγάγοι δὲ εἰς τέλος τὸ κρίμα μου·
|
for truth and reproof are from him; and he would bring forth my judgment to an end.
|
|
8
|
8
|
|
εἰς γὰρ πρῶτα πορεύσομαι καὶ οὐκέτι εἰμί· τὰ δὲ ἐπ᾿ ἐσχάτοις τί οἶδα;
|
For if I shall go first, and exist no longer, still what do I know concerning the latter end?
|
|
9
|
9
|
|
ἀριστερὰ ποιήσαντος αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐ κατέσχον· περιβαλεῖ δεξιά, καὶ οὐκ ὄψεται.
|
When he wrought on the left hand, then I observed it not: his right hand shall encompass me but I shall not see it.
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
εἶδε γὰρ ἤδη ὁδόν μου, διέκρινε δέ με ὥσπερ τὸ χρυσίον.
|
For he knows already my way; and he has tried me as gold.
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
ἐξελεύσομαι δὲ ἐν ἐντάλμασιν αὐτοῦ, ὁδοὺς γὰρ αὐτοῦ ἐφύλαξα καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐκκλίνω
|
And I will go forth according to his commandments, for I have kept his ways; and I shall not turn aside from his commandments,
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
ἀπὸ ἐνταλμάτων αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐ μὴ παρέλθω, ἐν δὲ κόλπῳ μου ἔκρυψα ρήματα αὐτοῦ.
|
neither shall I transgress; but I have hid his words in my bosom.
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
εἰ δὲ καὶ αὐτὸς ἔκρινεν οὕτως, τίς ἐστιν ὁ ἀντειπὼν αὐτῷ; ὃ γὰρ αὐτὸς ἠθέλησε, καὶ ἐποίησε.
|
And if too he has thus judged, who is he that has contradicted, for he has both willed a thing and done it.
|
|
14
|
15
|
|
διὰ τοῦτο ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ ἐσπούδακα, νουθετούμενος δὲ ἐφρόντισα αὐτοῦ.
|
Therefore am I troubled at him; and when I was reproved, I thought of him. Therefore let me take good heed before him: I will consider, and be afraid of him.
|
|
15
|
16
|
|
ἐπὶ τούτῳ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ κατασπουδασθῶ· κατανοήσω καὶ πτοηθήσομαι ἐξ αὐτοῦ.
|
But the Lord has softened my heart, and the Almighty has troubled me.
|
|
16
|
17
|
|
Κύριος δὲ ἐμαλάκυνε τὴν καρδίαν μου, ὁ δὲ Παντοκράτωρ ἐσπούδασέ με·
|
For I knew not that darkness would come upon me, and thick darkness has covered me before my face.
|
|
17
|
|
|
οὐ γὰρ ᾔδειν ὅτι ἐπελεύσεταί μοι σκότος, πρὸ προσώπου δέ μου ἐκάλυψε γνόφος.
|
