1And Eliphaz the Themanite, answered, and said:
1ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ Ἐλιφὰζ ὁ Θαιμανίτης λέγει·
2Will a wise man answer as if he were speaking in the wind, and fill his stomach with burning heat?
2πότερον σοφὸς ἀπόκρισιν δώσει συνέσεως πνεῦμα καὶ ἐνέπλησε πόνον γαστρὸς
3Thou reprovest him by words, who is not equal to thee, and thou speakest that which is not good for thee.
3ἐλέγχων ἐν ρήμασιν, οἷς οὐ δεῖ, καὶ ἐν λόγοις, οἷς οὐδὲν ὄφελος;
4As much as is in thee, thou hast made void fear, and hast taken away prayers from before God.
4οὐ καὶ σὺ ἀπεποιήσω φόβον, συνετελέσω δὲ ρήματα τοιαῦτα ἔναντι τοῦ Κυρίου;
5For thy iniquity hath taught thy mouth, and thou imitatest the tongue of blasphemers.
5ἔνοχος εἶ ρήμασι στόματός σου, οὐδὲ διέκρινας ρήματα δυναστῶν.
6Thy own mouth shall condemn thee, and not I: and thy own lips shall answer thee.
6ἐλέγξαι σε τὸ σὸν στόμα καὶ μὴ ἐγώ, τὰ δὲ χείλη σου καταμαρτυρήσουσί σου·
7Art thou the first man that was born, or wast thou made before the hills?
7τί γάρ; μὴ πρῶτος ἀνθρώπων ἐγεννήθης; ἢ πρὸ θινῶν ἐπάγης;
8Hast thou heard God’s counsel, and shall his wisdom be inferior to thee?
8ἦ σύνταγμα Κυρίου ἀκήκοας, ἢ συμβούλῳ σοι ἐχρήσατο ὁ Θεός, εἰς δὲ σὲ ἀφίκετο σοφία;
9What knowest thou that we are ignorant of? what dost thou understand that we know not?
9τί γὰρ οἶδας, ὃ οὐκ οἴδαμεν; ἢ τί συνίεις σύ, ὃ οὐ καὶ ἡμεῖς;
10There are with us also aged and ancient men, much elder than thy fathers.
10καί γε πρεσβύτης καί γε παλαιὸς ἐν ἡμῖν, βαρύτερος τοῦ πατρός σου ἡμέραις.
11Is it a great matter that God should comfort thee? but thy wicked words hinder this.
11ὀλίγα ὧν ἡμάρτηκας μεμαστίγωσαι, μεγάλως ὑπερβαλλόντως λελάληκας.
12Why doth thy heart elevate thee, and why dost thou stare with thy eyes, as if they were thinking great things?
12τί ἐτόλμησεν ἡ καρδία σου, ἢ τί ὑπένεγκαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου;
13Why doth thy spirit swell against God, to utter such words out of thy mouth?
13ὅτι θυμὸν ἔρρηξας ἔναντι Κυρίου, ἐξήγαγες δὲ ἐκ στόματος ρήματα τοιαῦτα.
14What is man that he should be without spot, and he that is born of a woman that he should appear just?
14τίς γὰρ ὢν βροτός, ὅτι ἔσται ἄμεμπτος, ἢ ὡς ἐσόμενος δίκαιος γεννητὸς γυναικός;
15Behold among his saints none is unchangeable, and the heavens are not pure in his sight.
15εἰ κατὰ ἁγίων οὐ πιστεύει, οὐρανὸς δὲ οὐ καθαρὸς ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ;
16How much more is man abominable, and unprofitable, who drinketh iniquity like water?
16ἔα δὲ ἐβδελυγμένος καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἀνήρ, πίνων ἀδικίας ἴσα ποτῷ·
17I will shew thee, hear me: and I will tell thee what I have seen.
17ἀναγγελῶ δέ σοι, ἄκουέ μου· ἃ δὴ ἐώρακα, ἀναγγελῶ σοι,
18Wise men confess and hide not their fathers.
18ἃ σοφοὶ ἐροῦσι καὶ οὐκ ἔκρυψαν πατέρες αὐτῶν·
19To whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger hath passed among them.
19αὐτοῖς μόνοις ἐδόθη ἡ γῆ, καὶ οὐκ ἐπῆλθεν ἀλλογενὴς ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς.
20The wicked man is proud all his days, and the number of the years of his tyranny is uncertain.
20πᾶς ὁ βίος ἀσεβοῦς ἐν φροντίδι, ἔτη δὲ ἀριθμητὰ δεδομένα δυνάστῃ,
21The sound of dread is always in his ears: and when there is peace, he always suspecteth treason.
21ὁ δὲ φόβος αὐτοῦ ἐν ὠσὶν αὐτοῦ· ὅταν δοκῇ ἤδη εἰρηνεύειν, ἥξει αὐτοῦ ἡ καταστροφή.
22He believeth not that he may return from darkness to light, looking round about for the sword on every side.
22μὴ πιστευέτω ἀποστραφῆναι ἀπὸ σκότους· ἐντέταλται γὰρ ἤδη εἰς χεῖρας σιδήρου,
23When he moveth himself to seek bread, he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
23κατατέτακται δὲ εἰς σῖτα γυψίν· οἶδε δὲ ἐν ἑαυτῷ ὅτι μένει εἰς πτῶμα. ἡμέρα δὲ σκοτεινὴ αὐτὸν στροβήσει,
24Tribulation shall terrify him, and distress shall surround him, as a king that is prepared for the battle.
24ἀνάγκη δὲ καὶ θλῖψις αὐτὸν καθέξει ὥσπερ στρατηγὸς πρωτοστάτης πίπτων.
25For he hath stretched out his hand against God, and hath strengthened himself against the Almighty.
25ὅτι ἦρκε χεῖρας ἐναντίον τοῦ Κυρίου, ἔναντι δὲ Κυρίου παντοκράτορος ἐτραχηλίασεν,
26He hath run against him with his neck raised up, and is armed with a fat neck.
26ἔδραμε δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ὕβρει ἐν πάχει νώτου ἀσπίδος αὐτοῦ,
27Fatness hath covered his face, and the fat hangeth down on his sides.
27ὅτι ἐκάλυψε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐν στέατι αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐποίησε περιστόμιον ἐπὶ τῶν μηρίων.
28He hath dwelt in desolate cities, and in desert houses that are reduced into heaps.
28αὐλισθείη δὲ πόλεις ἐρήμους, εἰσέλθοι δὲ εἰς οἴκους ἀοικήτους· ἃ δὲ ἐκεῖνοι ἡτοίμασαν, ἄλλοι ἀποίσονται.
29He shall not be enriched, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he push his root in the earth.
29οὔτε μὴ πλουτισθῇ, οὔτε μὴ μείνῃ αὐτοῦ τὰ ὑπάρχοντα, οὐ μὴ βάλῃ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν σκιὰν
30He shall not depart out of darkness: the flame shall dry up his branches, and he shall be taken away by the breath of his own month.
30οὐδὲ μὴ ἐκφύγῃ τὸ σκότος. τὸν βλαστὸν αὐτοῦ μαράναι ἄνεμος, ἐκπέσοι δὲ αὐτοῦ τὸ ἄνθος.
31He shall not believe, being vainly deceived by error, that he may be redeemed with any price.
31μὴ πιστευέτω ὅτι ὑπομενεῖ, κενὰ γὰρ ἀποβήσεται αὐτῷ·
32Before his days be full he shall perish: and his hands shall wither away.
32ἡ τομὴ αὐτοῦ πρὸ ὥρας φθαρήσεται, καὶ ὁ ράδαμνος αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ πυκάσῃ·
33He shall be blasted as a vine when its grapes are in the first flower, and as an olive tree that casteth its flower.
33τρυγηθείη δὲ ὡς ὄμβραξ πρὸς ὥρας, ἐκπέσοι δὲ ὡς ἄνθος ἐλαίας.
34For the congregation of the hypocrite is barren, and fire shall devour their tabernacles, who love to take bribes.
34μαρτύριον γὰρ ἀσεβοῦς θάνατος, πῦρ δὲ καύσει οἴκους δωροδεκτῶν.
35He hath conceived sorrow, and hath brought forth iniquity, and his womb prepareth deceits.
35ἐν γαστρὶ δὲ λήψεται ὀδύνας, ἀποβήσεται δὲ ἑαυτῷ κενά, ἡ δὲ κοιλία αὐτοῦ ὑποίσει δόλον.
