Chapter 30
|

|
|
ΝΥΝΙ δὲ κατεγέλασάν μου ἐλάχιστοι, νῦν νουθετοῦσί με ἐν μέρει ὧν ἐξουδένουν τοὺς πατέρας αὐτῶν, οὓς οὐχ ἡγησάμην ἀξίους κυνῶν τῶν ἐμῶν νομάδων.
|
But now the youngest have laughed me to scorn, now they reprove me in their turn, whose fathers I set at nought; whom I did not deem worthy to be with my shepherd dogs.
|
|

|
|
καί γε ἰσχὺς χειρῶν αὐτῶν ἱνατί μοι; ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς ἀπώλετο συντέλεια.
|
Yea, why had I the strength of their hands? for them the full term of life was lost.
|
|

|
3
|
|
ἐν ἐνδείᾳ καὶ λιμῷ ἄγονος· οἱ φεύγοντες ἄνυδρον ἐχθὲς συνοχὴν καὶ ταλαιπωρίαν,
|
One is childless in want and famine, such as they that fled but lately the distress and misery of drought.
|
|
4
|
4
|
|
οἱ περικυκλοῦντες ἅλιμα ἐπὶ ἠχοῦντι, οἵτινες ἅλιμα ἦν αὐτῶν τὰ σῖτα, ἄτιμοι δὲ καὶ πεφαυλισμένοι, ἐνδεεῖς παντὸς ἀγαθοῦ, οἳ καὶ ρίζας ξύλων ἐμασσῶντο ὑπὸ λιμοῦ μεγάλου.
|
Who compass the salt places on the sounding shore, who had salt herbs for their food, and were dishonourable and of no repute, in want of every good thing; who also ate roots of trees by reason of great hunger.
|
|
5
|
5
|
|
ἐπανέστησάν μοι κλέπται,
|
Thieves have risen up against me,
|
|
6
|
6
|
|
ὧν οἱ οἶκοι αὐτῶν ἦσαν τρῶγλαι πετρῶν,
|
whose houses were the caves of the rocks, who lived under the wild shrubs.
|
|
7
|
7
|
|
ἀνὰ μέσον εὐήχων βοήσονται· οἳ ὑπὸ φρύγανα ἄγρια διῃτῶντο,
|
They will cry out among the rustling bushes.
|
|
8
|
8
|
|
ἀφρόνων υἱοὶ καὶ ἀτίμων, ὄνομα καὶ κλέος ἐσβεσμένον ἀπὸ γῆς.
|
They are sons of fools and vile men, whose name and glory are quenched from off the earth.
|
|
9
|
9
|
|
νυνὶ δὲ κιθάρα ἐγώ εἰμι αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐμὲ θρύλλημα ἔχουσιν·
|
But now I am their music, and they have me for a by-word.
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
ἐβδελύξαντο δέ με ἀποστάντες μακρὰν ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ προσώπου μου οὐκ ἐφείσαντο πτύελον.
|
And they stood aloof and abhorred me, and spared not to spit in my face.
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
ἀνοίξας γὰρ φαρέτραν αὐτοῦ ἐκάκωσέ με, καὶ χαλινὸν τοῦ προσώπου μου ἐξαπέστειλαν.
|
For he has opened his quiver and afflicted me: they also have cast off the restraint of my presence.
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
ἐπὶ δεξιῶν βλαστοῦ ἐξανέστησαν, πόδα αὐτῶν ἐξέτειναν καὶ ὡδοποίησαν ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ τρίβους ἀπωλείας αὐτῶν.
|
They have risen up against me on the right hand of their offspring; they have stretched out their foot, and directed against me the ways of their destruction.
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
ἐξετρίβησαν τρίβοι μου, ἐξέδυσαν γάρ μου τὴν στολήν· βέλεσιν αὐτοῦ κατηκόντισέ με,
|
My paths are ruined; for they have stripped off my raiment: he has shot at me with his weapons.
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
κέχρηται δέ μοι ὡς βούλεται, ἐν ὀδύναις πέφυρμαι.
|
And he has pleaded against me as he will: I am overwhelmed with pains.
|
|
15
|
15
|
|
ἐπιστρέφονταί μου αἱ ὀδύναι, ᾤχετό μου ἡ ἐλπὶς ὥσπερ πνεῦμα καὶ ὥσπερ νέφος ἡ σωτηρία μου.
|
My pains return upon me; my hope is gone like the wind, and my safety as a cloud.
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
καὶ νῦν ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ ἐκχυθήσεται ἡ ψυχή μου, ἔχουσι δέ με ἡμέραι ὀδυνῶν·
|
Even now my life shall be poured forth upon me; and days of anguish seize me.
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
νυκτί δέ μου τὰ ὀστᾶ συγκέχυται, τὰ δὲ νεῦρά μου διαλέλυται.
|
And by night my bones are confounded; and my sinews are relaxed.
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
ἐν πολλῇ ἰσχύϊ ἐπελάβετό μου τῆς στολῆς, ὥσπερ τὸ περιστόμιον τοῦ χιτῶνός μου περιέσχε με.
|
With great force my disease has taken hold of my garment: it has compassed me as the collar of my coat.
|
|
19
|
19
|
|
ἥγησαι δέ με ἴσα πηλῷ, ἐν γῇ καὶ σποδῷ μου ἡ μερίς·
|
And thou hast counted me as clay; my portion is in dust and ashes.
|
|
20
|
20
|
|
κέκραγα δὲ πρός σε καὶ οὐκ ἀκούεις μου, ἔστησαν δὲ καὶ κατενόησάν με·
|
And I have cried to thee, but thou hearest me not: but they stood still, and observed me.
|
|
21
|
21
|
|
ἐπέβης δέ μοι ἀνελεημόνως, χειρὶ κραταιᾷ με ἐμαστίγωσας·
|
They attacked me also without mercy: thou hast scourged me with a strong hand.
|
|
22
|
22
|
|
ἔταξας δέ με ἐν ὀδύναις, καὶ ἀπέρριψάς με ἀπὸ σωτηρίας.
|
And thou hast put me to grief, and hast cast me away from safety.
|
|
23
|
23
|
|
οἶδα γὰρ ὅτι θάνατός με ἐκτρίψει, οἰκία γὰρ παντὶ θνητῷ γῆ.
|
For I know that death will destroy me: for the earth is the house appointed for every mortal.
|
|
24
|
24
|
|
εἰ γὰρ ὄφελον δυναίμην ἐμαυτὸν χειρώσασθαι, ἢ δεηθείς γε ἑτέρου, καὶ ποιήσει μοι τοῦτο.
|
Oh then that I might lay hands upon myself, or at least ask another, and he should do this for me.
|
|
25
|
25
|
|
ἐγὼ δὲ ἐπὶ παντὶ ἀδυνάτῳ ἔκλαυσα, ἐστέναξα ἰδὼν ἄνδρα ἐν ἀνάγκαις.
|
Yet I wept over every helpless man; I groaned when I saw a man in distress.
|
|
26
|
26
|
|
ἐγὼ δὲ ἐπέχων ἀγαθοῖς, ἰδοὺ συνήντησάν μοι μᾶλλον ἡμέραι κακῶν.
|
But I, when I waited for good things, behold, days of evils came the more upon me.
|
|
27
|
27
|
|
ἡ κοιλία μου ἐξέζεσε καὶ οὐ σιωπήσεται, προέφθασάν με ἡμέραι πτωχείας.
|
My belly boiled, and would not cease: the days of poverty prevented me.
|
|
28
|
28
|
|
στένων πεπόρευμαι ἄνευ φιμοῦ, ἕστηκα δὲ ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ κεκραγώς.
|
I went mourning without restraint: and I have stood and cried out in the assembly.
|
|
29
|
29
|
|
ἀδελφὸς γέγονα σειρήνων, ἑταῖρος δὲ στρουθῶν.
|
I am become a brother of monsters, and a companion of ostriches.
|
|
30
|
30
|
|
τὸ δὲ δέρμα μου ἐσκότωται μεγάλως, τὰ δὲ ὀστᾶ μου ἀπὸ καύματος.
|
And my skin has been greatly blackened, and my bones are burned with heat.
|
|
31
|
31
|
|
ἀπέβη δὲ εἰς πένθος μου ἡ κιθάρα, ὁ δὲ ψαλμός μου εἰς κλαυθμὸν ἐμοί.
|
My harp also has been turned into mourning, and my song into my weeping.
