Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Knowest thou the time when the wild goats bring forth among the rocks, or hast thou observed the hinds when they fawn?
1ΕΙ ἔγνως καιρὸν τοκετοῦ τραγελάφων πέτρας, ἐφύλαξας δὲ ὠδῖνας ἐλάφων;
2Hast thou numbered the months of their conceiving, or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
2ἠρίθμησας δὲ μῆνας αὐτῶν πλήρεις τοκετοῦ αὐτῶν, ὠδῖνας δὲ αὐτῶν ἔδυσας;
3They bow themselves to bring forth young, and they cast them, and send forth roarings.
3ἐξέθρεψας δὲ αὐτῶν τὰ παιδία ἔξω φόβου; ὠδῖνας δὲ αὐτῶν ἐξαποστελεῖς;
4Their young are weaned and go to feed: they go forth, and return not to them.
4ἀπορρήξουσι τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν, πληθυνθήσονται ἐν γεννήματι· ἐξελεύσονται, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀνακάμψουσιν αὐτοῖς.
5Who hath sent out the wild ass free, and who hath loosed his bonds?
5τίς δέ ἐστιν ὁ ἀφεὶς ὄνον ἄγριον ἐλεύθερον, δεσμοὺς δὲ αὐτοῦ τίς ἔλυσεν;
6To whom I have given a house in the wilderness, and his dwellings in the barren land.
6ἐθέμην δὲ τὴν δίαιταν αὐτοῦ ἔρημον, καὶ τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτοῦ ἁλμυρίδα·
7He scorneth the multitude of the city, he heareth not the cry of the driver.
7καταγελῶν πολυοχλίας πόλεως, μέμψιν δὲ φορολόγου οὐκ ἀκούων,
8He looketh round about the mountains of his pasture, and seeketh for every green thing.
8κατασκέψεται ὄρη νομὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ὀπίσω παντὸς χλωροῦ ζητεῖ.
9Shall the rhinoceros be willing to serve thee, or will he stay at thy crib?
9βουλήσεται δέ σοι μονόκερως δουλεῦσαι ἢ κοιμηθῆναι ἐπὶ φάτνης σου;
10Canst thou bind the rhinoceros with thy thong to plough, or will he break the clods of the valleys after thee?
10δήσεις δὲ ἐν ἱμᾶσι ζυγὸν αὐτοῦ ἢ ἑλκύσει σου αὔλακας ἐν πεδίῳ;
11Wilt thou have confidence in his great strength, and leave thy labours to him?
11πέποιθας δὲ ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ, ὅτι πολλὴ ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτοῦ, ἐπαφήσεις δὲ αὐτῷ τὰ ἔργα σου;
12Wilt thou trust him that he will render thee the seed, and gather it into thy barnfloor?
12πιστεύσεις δὲ ὅτι ἀποδώσει σοι τὸν σπόρον, εἰσοίσει δέ σου τὸν ἅλωνα;
13The wing of the ostrich is like the wings of the heron, and of the hawk.
13πτέρυξ τερπομένων νεέλασα, ἐὰν συλλάβῃ ἀσίδα καὶ νέσσα·
14When she leaveth her eggs on the earth, thou perhaps wilt warm them in the dust.
14ὅτι ἀφήσει εἰς γῆν τὰ ὠὰ αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπὶ χοῦν θάλψει
15She forgetteth that the foot may tread upon them, or that the beasts of the field may break them.
15καὶ ἐπελάθετο ὅτι ποὺς σκορπιεῖ καὶ θηρία ἀγροῦ καταπατήσει·
16She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers, she hath laboured in vain, no fear constraining her.
16ἀπεσκλήρυνε τὰ τέκνα ἑαυτῆς, ὥστε μὴ ἑαυτήν, εἰς κενὸν ἐκοπίασεν ἄνευ φόβου·
17For God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he given her understanding.
17ὅτι κατεσιώπησεν αὐτῇ ὁ Θεὸς σοφίαν καὶ οὐκ ἐπεμέρισεν αὐτῇ ἐν τῇ συνέσει.
18When time shall be, she setteth up her wings on high: she scorneth the horse and his rider.
18κατὰ καιρὸν ἐν ὕψει ὑψώσει, καταγελάσεται ἵππου καὶ τοῦ ἐπιβάτου αὐτοῦ.
19Wilt thou give strength to the horse, or clothe his neck with neighing?
19ἦ σὺ περιέθηκας ἵππῳ δύναμιν, ἐνέδυσας δὲ τραχήλῳ αὐτοῦ φόβον;
20Wilt thou lift him up like the locusts? the glory of his nostrils is terror.
20περιέθηκας δὲ αὐτῷ πανοπλίαν, δόξαν δὲ στηθέων αὐτοῦ τόλμῃ;
21He breaketh up the earth with his hoof, he pranceth boldly, he goeth forward to meet armed men.
21ἀνορύσσων ἐν πεδίῳ γαυριᾷ, ἐκπορεύεται δὲ εἰς πεδίον ἐν ἰσχύϊ·
22He despiseth fear, he turneth not his back to the sword,
22συναντῶν βασιλεῖ καταγελᾷ καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποστραφῇ ἀπὸ σιδήρου·
23Above him shall the quiver rattle, the spear and shield shall glitter.
23ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ γαυριᾷ τόξον καὶ μάχαιρα,
24Chasing and raging he swalloweth the ground, neither doth he make account when the noise of the trumpet soundeth.
24καὶ ὀργῇ ἀφανιεῖ τὴν γῆν καὶ οὐ μὴ πιστεύσει, ἕως ἂν σημάνῃ σάλπιγξ·
25When he heareth the trumpet he saith: Ha, ha: he smelleth the battle afar off, the encouraging of the captains, and the shouting of the army.
25σάλπιγγος δὲ σημαινούσης λέγει· εὖγε. πόρρωθεν δὲ ὀσφραίνεται πολέμου σὺν ἅλματι καὶ κραυγῇ.
26Doth the hawk wax feathered by thy wisdom, spreading her wings to the south?
26ἐκ δὲ τῆς σῆς ἐπιστήμης ἕστηκεν ἱέραξ, ἀναπετάσας τὰς πτέρυγας, ἀκίνητος, καθορῶν τὰ πρὸς νότον;
27Will the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest in high places?
27ἐπὶ δὲ σῷ προστάγματι ὑψοῦται ἀετός, γὺψ δὲ ἐπὶ νοσσιᾶς αὐτοῦ καθεσθεὶς αὐλίζεται
28She abideth among the rocks, and dwelleth among cragged flints, and stony hills, where there is no access.
28ἐπ᾿ ἐξοχῇ πέτρας καὶ ἀποκρύφῳ;
29From thence she looketh for the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.
29ἐκεῖσε ὢν ζητεῖ τὰ σῖτα, πόρρωθεν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ σκοπεύουσι·
30Her young ones shall suck up blood: and wheresoever the carcass shall be, she is immediately there.
30νεοσσοὶ δὲ αὐτοῦ φύρονται ἐν αἵματι, οὗ δ᾿ ἂν ὦσι τεθνεῶτες, παραχρῆμα εὑρίσκονται.
