¹

ΚΑΙ ἀπὸ ταύτης ἐταράχθη ἡ καρδία μου καὶ ἀπερρύη ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτῆς.

¹

At this also my heart is troubled, and moved out of its place.

²

ἄκουε ἀκοὴν ἐν ὀργῇ θυμοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ μελέτη ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐξελεύσεται.

²

Hear thou a report by the anger of the Lord's wrath, and a discourse shall come out of his mouth.

³

ὑποκάτω παντὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἡ ἀρχὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ φῶς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πτερύγων τῆς γῆς.

³

His dominion is under the whole heaven, and his light is at the extremities of the earth.

⁴

ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ βοήσεται φωνῇ, βροντήσει ἐν φωνῇ ὕβρεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἀνταλλάξει αὐτούς, ὅτι ἀκούσει φωνὴν αὐτοῦ.

⁴

After him shall be a cry with a loud voice; he shall thunder with the voice of his excellency, yet he shall not cause men to pass away, for one shall hear his voice.

⁵

βροντήσει ὁ ἰσχυρὸς ἐν φωνῇ αὐτοῦ θαυμάσια· ἐποίησε γὰρ μεγάλα ἃ οὐκ ᾔδειμεν,

⁵

The Mighty One shall thunder wonderfully with his voice: for he has done great things which we knew not;

⁶

συντάσσων χιόνι· γίνου ἐπὶ γῆς, καὶ χειμὼν ὑετός, καὶ χειμὼν ὑετῶν δυναστείας αὐτοῦ.

⁶

commanding the snow, Be thou upon the earth, and the stormy rain, and the storm of the showers of his might.

⁷

ἐν χειρὶ παντὸς ἀνθρώπου κατασφραγίζει, ἵνα γνῷ πᾶς ἄνθρωπος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἀσθένειαν.

⁷

He seals up the hand of every man, that every man may know his own weakness.

⁸

εἰσῆλθε δὲ θηρία ὑπὸ τὴν σκέπην, ἡσύχασαν δὲ ἐπὶ κοίτης.

⁸

And the wild beasts come in under the covert, and rest in their lair.

⁹

ἐκ ταμιείων ἐπέρχονται ὀδύναι, ἀπὸ δὲ ἀκρωτηρίων ψῦχος,

⁹

Troubles come on out of the secret chambers, and cold from the mountain-tops.

¹⁰

καὶ ἀπὸ πνοῆς ἰσχυροῦ δώσει πάγος, οἰακίζει δὲ τὸ ὕδωρ ὡς ἐὰν βούληται·

¹⁰

And from the breath of the Mighty One he will send frost; and he guides the water in whatever way he pleases.

¹¹

καὶ ἐκλεκτὸν καταπλάσσει νεφέλη, διασκορπιεῖ νέφος φῶς αὐτοῦ.

¹¹

And if a cloud obscures what is precious to him, his light will disperse the cloud.

¹²

καὶ αὐτὸς κυκλώματα διαστρέψει, ἐν θεεβουλαθὼθ εἰς ἔργα αὐτῶν. πάντα ὅσα ἂν ἐντείληται αὐτοῖς, ταῦτα συντέτακται παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς,

¹²

And he will carry round the encircling clouds by his governance, to perform their works: whatsoever he shall command them,

¹³

ἐὰν εἰς παιδείαν, ἐὰν εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ, ἐὰν εἰς ἔλεος εὑρήσει αὐτόν.

¹³

this has been appointed by him on the earth, whether for correction, or for his land, or if he shall find him an object for mercy.

¹⁴

ἐνωτίζου ταῦτα, ᾿Ιώβ· στῆθι νουθετούμενος δύναμιν Κυρίου.

¹⁴

Hearken to this, O Job: stand still, and be admonished of the power of the Lord.

¹⁵

οἴδαμεν ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς ἔθετο ἔργα αὐτοῦ φῶς ποιήσας ἐκ σκότους.

¹⁵

We know that God has disposed his works, having made light out of darkness.

¹⁶

ἐπίσταται δὲ διάκρισιν νεφῶν, ἐξαίσια δὲ πτώματα πονηρῶν.

¹⁶

And he knows the divisions of the clouds, and the signal overthrows of the ungodly.

¹⁷

σοῦ δὲ ἡ στολὴ θερμή, ἡσυχάζεται δὲ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

¹⁷

But thy robe is warm, and there is quiet upon the land.

¹⁸

στερεώσεις μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ εἰς παλαιώματα, ἰσχυραὶ ὡς ὅρασις ἐπιχύσεως.

¹⁸

Wilt thou establish with him foundations for the ancient heavens? they are strong as a molten mirror.

¹⁹

διατί; δίδαξόν με, τί ἐροῦμεν αὐτῷ· καὶ παυσώμαθε πολλὰ λέγοντες.

¹⁹

Wherefore teach me, what shall we say to him? and let us cease from saying much.

²⁰

μὴ βίβλος ἢ γραμματεύς μοι παρέστηκεν, ἵνα ἄνθρωπον ἑστηκὼς κατασιωπήσω;

²⁰

Have I a book or a scribe by me, that I may stand and put man to silence?

²¹

πᾶσι δὲ οὐχ ὁρατὸν τὸ φῶς, τηλαυγές ἐστιν ἐν τοῖς παλαιώμασιν, ὥσπερ τὸ παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ νεφῶν.

²¹

But the light is not visible to all: it shines afar off in the heavens, as that which is from him in the clouds.

²²

ἀπὸ βορρᾶ νέφη χρυσαυγοῦντα· ἐπὶ τούτοις μεγάλη ἡ δόξα καὶ τιμὴ Παντοκράτορος.

²²

From the north come the clouds shining like gold: in these great are the glory and honour of the Almighty;

²³

καὶ οὐχ εὑρίσκομεν ἄλλον ὅμοιον τῇ ἰσχύϊ αὐτοῦ· ὁ τὰ δίκαια κρίνων, οὐκ οἴει ἐπακούειν αὐτόν;

²³

and we do not find another his equal in strength: as for him that judges justly, dost thou not think that he listens?

²⁴

διὸ φοβηθήσονται αὐτὸν οἱ ἄνθρωποι, φοβηθήσονται δὲ αὐτὸν καὶ οἱ σοφοὶ καρδίᾳ.

²⁴

Wherefore men shall fear him; and the wise also in heart shall fear him.
