Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
1Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Βαλδὰδ ὁ Σαυχίτης, λέγει,
2“How long until you end these speeches? Show some sense, and then we can talk.
2Μέχρι τίνος οὐ παύσῃ; ἐπίσχες, ἵνα καὶ αὐτοὶ λαλήσωμεν.
3Why are we regarded as cattle, as stupid in your sight?
3Διατί δὲ ὥσπερ τετράποδα σεσιωπήκαμεν ἐναντίον σου;
4You who tear yourself in anger— should the earth be forsaken on your account, or the rocks be moved from their place?
4Κέχρηταί σοι ὀργή· τί γὰρ ἐὰν σὺ ἀποθάνῃς, ἀοίκητος ἡ ὑπʼ οὐρανόν; ἢ καταστραφήσεται ὄρη ἐκ θεμελίων;
5Indeed, the lamp of the wicked is extinguished; the flame of his fire does not glow.
5Καὶ φῶς ἀσεβῶν σβεσθήσεται, καὶ οὐκ ἀποβήσεται αὐτῶν ἡ φλόξ.
6The light in his tent grows dark, and the lamp beside him goes out.
6Τὸ φῶς αὐτοῦ σκότος ἐν διαίτῃ, ὁ δὲ λύχνος ἐπʼ αὐτῷ σβεσθήσεται.
7His vigorous stride is shortened, and his own schemes trip him up.
7Θηρεύσαισαν ἐλάχιστοι τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ· σφάλαι δὲ αὐτοῦ ἡ βουλή.
8For his own feet lead him into a net, and he wanders into its mesh.
8Ἐμβέβληται δὲ ὁ ποῦς αὐτοῦ ἐν παγίδι, ἐν δικτύῳ ἑλιχθείη.
9A trap seizes his heel; a snare grips him.
9Ἔλθοισαν δὲ ἐπʼ αὐτὸν παγίδες, κατισχύσει ἐπʼ αὐτὸν διψῶντας.
10A noose is hidden in the ground, and a trap lies in his path.
10Κέκρυπται ἐν τῇ γῇ σχοινίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡ σύλληψις αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τρίβον.
11Terrors frighten him on every side and harass his every step.
11Κύκλῳ ὀλέσαισαν αὐτὸν ὀδύναι· πολλοὶ δὲ περὶ πόδα αὐτοῦ ἔλθοισαν ἐν λιμῷ στενῷ·
12His strength is depleted, and calamity is ready at his side.
12πτῶμα δὲ αὐτῷ ἡτοίμασται ἐξαίσιον.
13It devours patches of his skin; the firstborn of death devours his limbs.
13Βρωθείησαν αὐτοῦ κλῶνες ποδῶν, κατέδεται δὲ αὐτοῦ τὰ ὡραῖα θάνατος.
14He is torn from the shelter of his tent and is marched off to the king of terrors.
14Ἐκραγείη δέ ἐκ διαίτης αὐτοῦ ἴασις, σχοίη δὲ αὐτὸν ἀνάγκη αἰτίᾳ βασιλικῇ.
15Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur rains down on his dwelling.
15Κατασκηνώσει ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ αὐτοῦ ἐν νυκτὶ αὐτοῦ, κατασπαρήσονται τὰ εὐπρεπῆ αὐτοῦ θείῳ.
16The roots beneath him dry up, and the branches above him wither away.
16Ὑποκάτωθεν αἱ ῥίζαι αὐτοῦ ξηρανθήσονται, καὶ ἐπάνωθεν ἐπιπεσεῖται θερισμὸς αὐτοῦ.
17The memory of him perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the land.
17Τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτοῦ ἀπόλοιτο ἐκ γῆς, καὶ ὑπάρξει ὄνομα αὐτῷ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐξωτέρω.
18He is driven from light into darkness and is chased from the inhabited world.
18Ἀπώσειεν αὐτὸν ἐκ φωτὸς εἰς σκότος.
19He has no offspring or posterity among his people, no survivor where he once lived.
19Οὐκ ἔσται ἐπίγνωστος ἐν λαῷ αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ σεσωσμένος ἐν τῇ ὑπʼ οὐρανὸν ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ.
20Those in the west are appalled at his fate, while those in the east tremble in horror.
20Ἀλλʼ ἐν τοῖς αὐτοῦ ζήσονται ἕτεροι· ἐπʼ αὐτῷ ἐστέναξαν ἔσχατοι, πρώτους δὲ ἔσχε θαῦμα.
21Surely such is the dwelling of the wicked and the place of one who does not know God.”
21Οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ οἶκοι ἀδίκων, οὗτος δὲ ὁ τόπος τῶν μὴ εἰδότων τὸν Κύριον.
