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
|
|
| διὰ τοῦτο ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ ἐσπούδακα, νουθετούμενος δὲ ἐφρόντισα αὐτοῦ. | |
|
15
|
15
|
| ἐπὶ τούτῳ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ κατασπουδασθῶ· κατανοήσω καὶ πτοηθήσομαι ἐξ αὐτοῦ. | Therefore am I troubled at him; and when I was reproved, I thought of him. |
|
16
|
16
|
| Κύριος δὲ ἐμαλάκυνε τὴν καρδίαν μου, ὁ δὲ Παντοκράτωρ ἐσπούδασέ με· | But the Lord has softened my heart, and the Almighty has troubled me. |
|
17
|
17
|
| οὐ γὰρ ᾔδειν ὅτι ἐπελεύσεταί μοι σκότος, πρὸ προσώπου δέ μου ἐκάλυψε γνόφος. | For I knew not that darkness would come upon me, and thick darkness has covered me before my face. |
