Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1And Eliu continued his discourse, and said:
1ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ Ἐλιοὺς λέγει·
2Hear ye, wise men, my words, and ye learned, hearken to me:
2ἀκούσατέ μου, σοφοί· ἐπιστάμενοι, ἐνωτίζεσθε τὸ καλόν·
3For the ear trieth words, and the mouth discerneth meats by the taste.
3ὅτι οὖς λόγους δοκιμάζει, καὶ λάρυγξ γεύεται βρῶσιν.
4Let us choose to us judgment, and let us see among ourselves what is the best.
4κρίσιν ἑλώμεθα ἑαυτοῖς, γνῶμεν ἀνὰ μέσον ἑαυτῶν ὅ,τι καλόν.
5For Job hath said: I am just, and God hath overthrown my judgment.
5ὅτι εἴρηκεν Ἰώβ· δίκαιός εἰμι, ὁ Κύριος ἀπήλλαξέ μου τὸ κρίμα,
6For in judging me there is a lie: my arrow is violent without any sin.
6ἐψεύσατο δὲ τῷ κρίματί μου, βίαιον τὸ βέλος μου ἄνευ ἀδικίας.
7What man is there like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
7τίς ἀνὴρ ὥσπερ Ἰώβ, πίνων μυκτηρισμὸν ὥσπερ ὕδωρ,
8Who goeth in company with them that work iniquity, and walketh with wicked men?
8οὐχ ἁμαρτὼν οὐδὲ ἀσεβήσας ἢ ὁδοῦ κοινωνήσας μετὰ ποιούντων τὰ ἄνομα τοῦ πορευθῆναι μετὰ ἀσεβῶν;
9For he hath said: Man shall not please God, although he run with him.
9μὴ γὰρ εἴπῃς, ὅτι οὐκ ἔσται ἐπισκοπὴ ἀνδρὸς καὶ ἐπισκοπὴ αὐτῷ παρὰ Κυρίου.
10Therefore, ye men of understanding, hear me: far from god be wickedness, and iniquity from the Almighty.
10διό, συνετοὶ καρδίας ἀκούσατέ μου· μή μοι εἴη ἔναντι Κυρίου ἀσεβῆσαι καὶ ἔναντι Παντοκράτορος ταράξαι τὸ δίκαιον·
11For he will render to a man his work, and according to the ways of every one he will reward them.
11ἀλλὰ ἀποδιδοῖ ἀνθρώπῳ καθὰ ποιεῖ ἕκαστος αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐν τρίβῳ ἀνδρὸς εὑρήσει αὐτόν.
12For in very deed God will not condemn without cause, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
12οἴει δὲ τὸν Κύριον ἄτοπα ποιήσειν; ἢ ὁ Παντοκράτωρ ταράξει κρίσιν, ὃς ἐποίησε τὴν γῆν;
13What other hath he appointed over the earth? or whom hath he set over the world which he made?
13τίς δέ ἐστιν ὁ ποιῶν τὴν ὑπ᾿ οὐρανὸν καὶ τὰ ἐνόντα πάντα;
14If he turn his heart to him, he shall draw his spirit and breath unto himself.
14εἰ γὰρ βούλοιτο συνέχειν καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα παρ᾿ αὐτῷ κατασχεῖν,
15All flesh shall perish together, and man shall return into ashes.
15τελευτήσει πᾶσα σάρξ ὁμοθυμαδόν, πᾶς δὲ βροτὸς εἰς γῆν ἀπελεύσεται, ὅθεν καὶ ἐπλάσθη.
16If then thou hast understanding, hear what is said, and hearken to the voice of my words.
16εἰ δὲ μὴ νουθετῇ, ἄκουε ταῦτα, ἐνωτίζου φωνὴν ρημάτων.
17Can he be healed that loveth not judgment? and how dost thou so far condemn him that is just?
17ἰδὲ σὺ τὸν μισοῦντα ἄνομα καὶ τὸν ὀλλύντα τοὺς πονηροὺς ὄντα αἰώνιον δίκαιον.
18Who saith to the king: Thou art an apostate: who calleth rulers ungodly?
18ἀσεβὴς ὁ λέγων βασιλεῖ· παρανομεῖς, ἀσεβέστατε, τοῖς ἄρχουσιν·
19Who accepteth not the persons of princes: nor hath regarded the tyrant, when he contended against the poor man: for all are the work of his hands.
19ὃς οὐκ ἐπῃσχύνθη πρόσωπον ἐντίμου, οὐδὲ οἶδε τιμὴν θέσθαι ἁδροῖς θαυμασθῆναι πρόσωπα αὐτῶν.
20They shall suddenly die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and they shall pass, and take away the violent without hand.
20κενὰ δὲ αὐτοῖς ἀποβήσεται τὸ κεκραγέναι καὶ δεῖσθαι ἀνδρός· ἐχρήσαντο γὰρ παρανόμως ἐκκλινομένων ἀδυνάτων.
21For his eyes are upon the ways of men, and he considereth all their steps.
21αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁρατής ἐστιν ἔργων ἀνθρώπων, λέληθε δὲ αὐτὸν οὐδὲν ὧν πράσσουσιν,
22There is no darkness, and there is no shadow of death, where they may be hid who work iniquity.
22οὐδὲ ἔσται τόπος τοῦ κρυβῆναι τοὺς ποιοῦντας τὰ ἄνομα·
23For it is no longer in the power of man to enter into judgment with God.
23ὅτι οὐκ ἀπ᾿ ἄνδρα θήσει ἔτι·
24He shall break in pieces many and innumerable, and shall make others to stand in their stead.
24ὁ γὰρ Κύριος πάντας ἐφορᾷ ὁ καταλαμβάνων ἀνεξιχνίαστα, ἔνδοξά τε καὶ ἐξαίσια, ὧν οὐκ ἔστιν ἀριθμός·
25For he knoweth their works: and therefore he shall bring night on them, and they shall be destroyed.
25ὁ γνωρίζων αὐτῶν τὰ ἔργα καὶ στρέψει νύκτα καὶ ταπεινωθήσονται.
26He hath struck them, as being wicked, in open sight.
26ἔσβεσε δὲ ἀσεβεῖς, ὁρατοὶ δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ,
27Who as it were on purpose have revolted from him, and would not understand all his ways:
27ὅτι ἐξέκλιναν ἐκ νόμου Θεοῦ, δικαιώματα δὲ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐπέγνωσαν
28So that they caused the cry of the needy to come to him, and he heard the voice of the poor.
28τοῦ ἐπαγαγεῖν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν κραυγὴν πενήτων, καὶ κραυγὴν πτωχῶν εἰσακούσεται.
29For when he granteth peace, who is there that can condemn? When he hideth his countenance, who is there that can behold him, whether it regard nations, or all men?
29καὶ αὐτὸς ἡσυχίαν παρέξει, καὶ τίς καταδικάσεται; καὶ κρύψει πρόσωπον, καὶ τίς ὄψεται αὐτόν; καὶ κατὰ ἔθνους καὶ κατὰ ἀνθρώπου ὁμοῦ
30Who maketh a man that is a hypocrite to reign for the sins of the people?
30βασιλεύων ἄνθρωπον ὑποκριτὴν ἀπὸ δυσκολίας λαοῦ.
31Seeing then I have spoken of God, I will not hinder thee in thy turn.
31ὅτι πρὸς τὸν ἰσχυρὸν ὁ λέγων· εἴληφα, οὐκ ἐνεχυράσω·
32If I have erred, teach thou me: if I have spoken iniquity, I will add no more.
32ἄνευ ἐμαυτοῦ ὄψομαι, σὺ δεῖξόν μοι, εἰ ἀδικίαν εἰργασάμην, οὐ μὴ προσθήσω.
33Doth God require it of thee, because it hath displeased thee? for thou begannest to speak, and not I: but if thou know any thing better, speak.
33μὴ παρὰ σοῦ ἀποτίσει αὐτήν; ὅτι ἀπώσῃ, ὅτι σὺ ἐκλέξῃ, καὶ οὐκ ἐγώ· καὶ τί ἔγνως, λάλησον.
34Let men of understanding speak to me, and let a wise man hearken to me.
34διὸ συνετοὶ καρδίας ἐροῦσι ταῦτα, ἀνὴρ δὲ σοφὸς ἀκήκοέ μου τὸ ρῆμα.
35But Job hath spoken foolishly, and his words sound not discipline.
35Ἰὼβ δὲ οὐκ ἐν συνέσει ἐλάλησε, τὰ ρήματα αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐν ἐπιστήμῃ.
36My father, let Job be tried even to the end: cease not from the man of iniquity.
36οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ μάθε, Ἰώβ, μὴ δῷς ἔτι ἀνταπόκρισιν, ὥσπερ οἱ ἄφρονες,
37Because he addeth blasphemy upon his sins, let him be tied fast in the mean time amongst us: and then let him provoke God to judgment with his speeches.
37ἵνα μὴ προσθῶμεν ἐφ᾿ ἁμαρτίαις ἡμῶν, ἀνομία δὲ ἐφ᾿ ἡμῖν λογισθήσεται, πολλὰ λαλούντων ρήματα ἐναντίον τοῦ Κυρίου.
