1Hear therefore, O Job, my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
1ΟΥ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ ἄκουσον, Ἰώβ, τὰ ρήματά μου καὶ λαλιὰν ἐνωτίζου μου·
2Behold now I have opened my mouth, let my tongue speak within my jaws.
2ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἤνοιξα τὸ στόμα μου, καὶ ἐλάλησεν ἡ γλῶσσά μου.
3My words are from my upright heart, and my lips shall speak a pure sentence.
3καθαρά μου ἡ καρδία ρήμασι, σύνεσις δὲ χειλέων μου καθαρὰ νοήσει.
4The spirit of God made me, and the breath of the Almighty gave me life.
4πνεῦμα θεῖον τὸ ποιῆσάν με, πνοὴ δὲ Παντοκράτορος ἡ διδάσκουσά με.
5If thou canst, answer me, and stand up against my face.
5ἐὰν δύνῃ, δός μοι ἀπόκρισιν πρὸς ταῦτα· ὑπόμεινον, στῆθι κατ᾿ ἐμὲ καὶ ἐγὼ κατὰ σέ.
6Behold God hath made me as well as thee, and of the same clay I also was formed.
6ἐκ πηλοῦ διήρτισαι σὺ ὡς καὶ ἐγώ, ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ διηρτίσμεθα.
7But yet let not my wonder terrify thee, and let not my eloquence be burdensome to thee.
7οὐχ ὁ φόβος μού σε στροβήσει, οὐδὲ ἡ χείρ μου βαρεῖα ἔσται ἐπὶ σοί.
8Now thou has said in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words:
8πλὴν εἶπας ἐν ὠσί μου, φωνὴν ρημάτων σου ἀκήκοα,
9I am clean, and without sin: I am unspotted, and there is no iniquity in me.
9διότι λέγεις· καθαρός εἰμι οὐχ ἁμαρτών, ἄμεμπτός εἰμι, οὐ γὰρ ἠνόμησα.
10Because he hath found complaints against me, therefore he hath counted me for his enemy.
10μέμψιν δὲ κατ᾿ ἐμοῦ εὗρεν, ἥγηται δέ με ὥσπερ ὑπεναντίον·
11He hath put my feet in the stocks, he hath observed all my paths.
11ἔθετο δὲ ἐν ξύλῳ τὸν πόδα μου, ἐφύλαξε δέ μου πάσας τὰς ὁδούς·
12Now this is the thing in which thou art not justified: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
12πῶς γὰρ λέγεις· δίκαιός εἰμι, καὶ οὐκ ἐπακήκοέ μου; αἰώνιος γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἐπάνω βροτῶν.
13Dost thou strive against him, because he hath not answered thee to all words?
13λέγεις δέ· διατί τῆς δίκης μου οὐκ ἐπακήκοέ μου πᾶν ρῆμα;
14God speaketh once, and repeateth not the selfsame thing the second time.
14ἐν γὰρ τῷ ἅπαξ λαλῆσαι ὁ Κύριος, ἐν δὲ τῷ δευτέρῳ
15By a dream in a vision by night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, and they are sleeping in their beds:
15ἐνύπνιον, ἢ ἐν μελέτῃ νυκτερινῇ, ὡς ὅταν ἐπιπίπτῃ δεινὸς φόβος ἐπ᾿ ἀνθρώπους ἐπὶ νυσταγμάτων ἐπὶ κοίτης.
16Then he openeth the ears of men, and teaching instructeth them in what they are to learn.
16τότε ἀνακαλύπτει νοῦν ἀνθρώπων, ἐν εἴδεσι φόβου τοιούτοις αὐτοὺς ἐξεφόβησεν
17That he may withdraw a man from the things he is doing, and may deliver him from pride.
17ἀποστρέψαι ἄνθρωπον ἀπὸ ἀδικίας, τὸ δὲ σῶμα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ πτώματος ἐρρύσατο.
18Rescuing his soul from corruption: and his life from passing to the sword.
18ἐφείσατο δὲ τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ θανάτου καὶ μὴ πεσεῖν αὐτὸν ἐν πολέμῳ.
19He rebuketh also by sorrow in the bed, and he maketh all his bones to wither.
19πάλιν δὲ ἤλεγξεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ μαλακίᾳ ἐπὶ κοίτης καὶ πλῆθος ὀστῶν αὐτοῦ ἐνάρκησε·
20Bread becometh abominable to him in his life, and to his soul the meat which before he desired.
20πᾶν δὲ βρωτὸν σίτου οὐ μὴ δύνηται προσδέξασθαι καὶ ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ βρῶσιν ἐπιθυμήσει,
21His flesh shall be consumed away, and his bones that were covered shall be made bare.
21ἕως ἂν σαπῶσιν αὐτοῦ αἱ σάρκες καὶ ἀποδείξῃ τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ κενά·
22His soul hath drawn near to corruption, and his life to the destroyers.
22ἤγγισε δὲ εἰς θάνατον ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ, ἡ δὲ ζωὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν ᾅδη.
23If there shall be an angel speaking for him, one among thousands, to declare man’s uprightness,
23ἐὰν ὦσι χίλιοι ἄγγελοι θανατηφόροι, εἷς αὐτῶν οὐ μὴ τρώσῃ αὐτόν· ἐὰν νοήσῃ τῇ καρδίᾳ ἐπιστραφῆναι πρὸς Κύριον, ἀναγγείλῃ δὲ ἀνθρώπῳ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ μέμψιν, τὴν δὲ ἄνοιαν αὐτοῦ δείξῃ,
24He shall have mercy on him, and shall say: Deliver him, that he may not go down to corruption: I have found wherein I may be merciful to him.
24ἀνθέξεται τοῦ μὴ πεσεῖν εἰς θάνατον, ἀνανεώσει δὲ αὐτοῦ τὸ σῶμα ὥσπερ ἀλοιφὴν ἐπὶ τοίχου, τὰ δὲ ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ ἐμπλήσει μυελοῦ·
25His flesh is consumed with punishment, let him return to the days of his youth.
25ἁπαλυνεῖ δὲ αὐτοῦ τὰς σάρκας ὥσπερ νηπίου, ἀποκαταστήσει δὲ αὐτὸν ἀνδρωθέντα ἐν ἀνθρώποις.
26He shall pray to God, and he will be gracious to him: and he shall see his face with joy, and he will render to man his justice.
26εὐξάμενος δὲ πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ δεκτὰ αὐτῷ ἔσται, εἰσελεύσεται προσώπῳ ἱλαρῷ σὺν ἐξηγορίᾳ· ἀποδώσει δὲ ἀνθρώποις δικαιοσύνην.
27He shall look upon men, and shall say: I have sinned, and indeed I have offended, and I have not received what I have deserved.
27εἶτα τότε ἀπομέμψεται ἄνθρωπος αὐτὸς ἑαυτῷ λέγον· οἷα συνετέλουν καὶ οὐκ ἄξια ἤτασέ με ὧν ἥμαρτον.
28He hath delivered his soul from going into destruction, that it may live and see the light.
28σῶσον ψυχήν μου τοῦ μὴ ἐλθεῖν εἰς διαφθοράν, καὶ ἡ ζωή μου φῶς ὄψεται.
29Behold, all these things God worketh three times within every one.
29ἰδοὺ ταῦτα πάντα ἐργᾶται ὁ ἰσχυρὸς ὁδοὺς τρεῖς μετὰ ἀνδρός.
30That he may withdraw their souls from corruption, and enlighten them with the light of the living.
30καὶ ἐρρύσατο τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ θανάτου, ἵνα ἡ ζωή μου ἐν φωτὶ αἰνῇ αὐτόν.
31Attend, Job, and hearken to me: and hold thy peace, whilst I speak.
31ἐνωτίζου, Ἰώβ, καὶ ἄκουέ μου· κώφευσον, καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι λαλήσω.
32But if thou hast any thing to say, answer me, speak: for I would have thee to appear just.
32εἰ εἰσί σοι λόγοι, ἀποκρίθητί μοι· λάλησον, θέλω γὰρ δικαιωθῆναί σε.
33And if thou have not, hear me: hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom.
33εἰ μή, σὺ ἄκουσόν μου· κώφευσον καὶ διδάξω σε σοφίαν.
