Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1And the LORD said to Job:
1ΚΑΙ ἀπεκρίθη Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Ἰὼβ καὶ εἶπε·
2“Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who argues with God give an answer.”
2μὴ κρίσιν μετὰ ἱκανοῦ ἐκκλινεῖ, ἐλέγχων δὲ Θεὸν ἀποκριθήσεται αὐτήν;
3Then Job answered the LORD:
3ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἰὼβ λέγει τῷ Κυρίῳ·
4“Behold, I am insignificant. How can I reply to You? I place my hand over my mouth.
4τί ἔτι ἐγὼ κρίνομαι, νουθετούμενος καὶ ἐλέγχων Κύριον, ἀκούων τοιαῦτα οὐθὲν ὤν; ἐγὼ δὲ τίνα ἀπόκρισιν δῶ πρὸς ταῦτα; χεῖρα θήσω ἐπὶ στόματί μου·
5I have spoken once, but I have no answer— twice, but I have nothing to add.”
5ἅπαξ λελάληκα, ἐπὶ δὲ τῷ δευτέρῳ οὐ προσθήσω.
6Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
6ἔτι δὲ ὑπολαβὼν ὁ Κύριος εἶπε τῷ Ἰὼβ ἐκ τοῦ νέφους·
7“Now brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall inform Me.
7μή, ἀλλὰ ζῶσαι ὥσπερ ἀνὴρ τὴν ὀσφύν σου, ἐρωτήσω δέ σε, σὺ δέ μοι ἀπόκριναι·
8Would you really annul My justice? Would you condemn Me to justify yourself?
8μὴ ἀποποιοῦ μου τὸ κρίμα. οἴει δέ με ἄλλως σοι κεχρηματικέναι ἢ ἵνα ἀναφανῇς δίκαιος;
9Do you have an arm like God’s? Can you thunder with a voice like His?
9ἦ βραχίων σοί ἐστι κατὰ τοῦ Κυρίου, ἢ φωνῇ κατ᾿ αὐτὸν βροντᾷς;
10Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor, and clothe yourself with honor and glory.
10ἀνάλαβε δὴ ὕψος καὶ δύναμιν, δόξαν δὲ καὶ τιμὴν ἀμφίασαι.
11Unleash the fury of your wrath; look on every proud man and bring him low.
11ἀπόστειλον δὲ ἀγγέλους ὀργῇ, πάντα δὲ ὑβριστὴν ταπείνωσον·
12Look on every proud man and humble him; trample the wicked where they stand.
12ὑπερήφανον δὲ σβέσον, σῆψον δὲ ἀσεβεῖς παραχρῆμα,
13Bury them together in the dust; imprison them in the grave.
13κρύψον δὲ εἰς γῆν ὁμοθυμαδόν, τὰ δὲ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ἀτιμίας ἔμπλησον·
14Then I will confess to you that your own right hand can save you.
14ὁμολογήσω ὅτι δύναται ἡ δεξιά σου σῶσαι.
15Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you. He feeds on grass like an ox.
15ἀλλὰ δὴ ἰδοὺ θηρία παρά σοι, χόρτον ἴσα βουσὶν ἐσθίουσιν.
16See the strength of his loins and the power in the muscles of his belly.
16ἰδοὺ δὴ ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ ὀσφύϊ, ἡ δὲ δύναμις αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ ὀμφαλοῦ γαστρός·
17His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are tightly knit.
17ἔστησεν οὐρὰν ὡς κυπάρισσον, τὰ δὲ νεῦρα αὐτοῦ συμπέπλεκται·
18His bones are tubes of bronze; his limbs are rods of iron.
18αἱ πλευραὶ αὐτοῦ πλευραὶ χάλκειαι, ἡ δὲ ράχις αὐτοῦ σίδηρος χυτός.
19He is the foremost of God’s works; only his Maker can draw the sword against him.
19τοῦτ᾿ ἔστιν ἀρχὴ πλάσματος Κυρίου, πεποιημένον ἐγκαταπαίζεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ.
20The hills yield him their produce, while all the beasts of the field play nearby.
20ἐπελθὼν δὲ ἐπ᾿ ὄρος ἀκρότομον ἐποίησε χαρμονὴν τετράποσιν ἐν τῷ ταρτάρῳ.
21He lies under the lotus plants, hidden among the reeds of the marsh.
21ὑπὸ παντοδαπὰ δένδρα κοιμᾶται, παρὰ πάπυρον καὶ κάλαμον καὶ βούτομον.
22The lotus plants conceal him in their shade; the willows of the brook surround him.
22σκιάζονται δὲ ἐν αὐτῷ δένδρα μεγάλα σὺν ραδάμνοις καὶ κλῶνες ἀγροῦ.
23Though the river rages, Behemoth is unafraid; he remains secure, though the Jordan surges to his mouth.
23ἐὰν γένηται πλήμμυρα, οὐ μὴ αἰσθηθῇ· πέποιθεν ὅτι προσκρούσει ὁ Ἰορδάνης εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ.
24Can anyone capture him as he looks on, or pierce his nose with a snare?
24ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ αὐτοῦ δέξεται αὐτόν, ἐνσκολιευόμενος τρήσει ρῖνα.
