1ΙΔΟΥ ταῦτα ἑώρακέ μου ὁ ὀφθαλμὸς καὶ ἀκήκοέ μου τὸ οὖς·
1Behold my eye hath seen all these things, and my ear hath heard them, and I have understood them all.
2καὶ οἶδα ὅσα καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐπίστασθε, καὶ οὐκ ἀσυνετώτερός εἰμι ὑμῶν.
2According to your knowledge I also know: neither am I inferior to you.
3οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλ᾿ ἐγὼ πρὸς Κύριον λαλήσω, ἐλέγξω δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ἐὰν βούληται.
3But yet I will speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
4ὑμεῖς δέ ἐστε ἰατροὶ ἄδικοι καὶ ἰαταὶ κακῶν πάντες.
4Having first shewn that you are forgers of lies, and maintainers of perverse opinions.
5εἴη δὲ ὑμῖν κωφεῦσαι, καὶ ἀποβήσεται ὑμῖν εἰς σοφίαν.
5And I wish you would hold your peace, that you might be thought to be wise men.
6ἀκούσατε ἔλεγχον τοῦ στόματός μου, κρίσιν δὲ χειλέων μου προσέχετε.
6Hear ye therefore my reproof, and attend to the judgment of my lips.
7πότερον οὐκ ἔναντι Κυρίου λαλεῖτε, ἔναντι δὲ αὐτοῦ φθέγγεσθε δόλον;
7Hath God any need of your lie, that you should speak deceitfully for him?
8ἦ ὑποστελεῖσθε; ὑμεῖς δὲ αὐτοὶ κριταὶ γίνεσθε.
8Do you accept his person, and do you endeavour to judge for God?
9καλόν γε, ἐὰν ἐξιχνιάσῃ ὑμᾶς· εἰ γὰρ τὰ πάντα ποιοῦντες προστεθήσεσθε αὐτῷ,
9Or shall it please him, from whom nothing can be concealed? or shall he be deceived as a man, with your deceitful dealings?
10οὐθὲν ἧττον ἐλέγξει ὑμᾶς· εἰ δὲ καὶ κρυφῇ πρόσωπα θαυμάσεσθε,
10He shall reprove you, because in secret you accept his person.
11πότερον οὐχὶ δεινὰ αὐτοῦ στροβήσει ὑμᾶς, φόβος δὲ παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐπιπεσεῖται ὑμῖν;
11As soon as he shall move himself, he shall trouble you: and his dread shall fall upon you.
12ἀποβήσεται δὲ ὑμῶν τὸ γαυρίαμα ἴσα σποδῷ, τὸ δὲ σῶμα πήλινον.
12Your remembrance shall be compared to ashes, and your necks shall be brought to clay.
13κωφεύσατε, ἵνα λαλήσω καὶ ἀναπαύσωμαι θυμοῦ
13Hold your peace a little while, that I may speak whatsoever my mind shall suggest to me.
14ἀναλαβὼν τὰς σάρκας μου τοῖς ὀδοῦσι, ψυχὴν δέ μου θήσω ἐν χειρί.
14Why do I tear my flesh with my teeth, and carry my soul in my hands?
15ἐάν με χειρώσηται ὁ δυνάστης, ἐπεὶ καὶ ἦρκται, ἦ μὴν λαλήσω καὶ ἐλέγξω ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ·
15Although he should bill me, I will trust in him: but yet I will reprove my ways in his sight.
16καὶ τοῦτό μοι ἀποβήσεται εἰς σωτηρίαν, οὐ γὰρ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ δόλος εἰσελεύσεται.
16And he shall be my saviour: for no hypocrite shall come before his presence.
17ἀκούσατε ἀκούσατε τὰ ρήματά μου, ἀναγγελῶ γὰρ ὑμῶν ἀκουόντων.
17Hear ye my speech, and receive with Sour ears hidden truths.
18ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐγγύς εἰμι τοῦ κρίματός μου, οἶδα ἐγὼ ὅτι δίκαιος ἀναφανοῦμαι·
18If I shall be judged, I know that I shall be found just.
19τίς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ κριθησόμενός μοι, ὅτι νῦν κωφεύσω καὶ ἐκλείψω;
19Who is he that will plead against me? let him come: why am I consumed holding my peace?
20δυοῖν δέ μοι χρήσῃ· τότε ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου σου οὐ κρυβήσομαι.
20Two things only do not to me, and then from thy face I shall not be hid:
21τὴν χεῖρα ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ ἀπέχου, καὶ ὁ φόβος σου μή με καταπλησσέτω.
21Withdraw thy hand far from me, and let not thy dread terrify me.
22εἶτα καλέσεις, ἐγὼ δέ σοι ὑπακούσομαι· ἢ λαλήσεις, ἐγὼ δέ σοι δώσω ἀνταπόκρισιν.
22Call me, and I will answer thee: or else I will speak, and do thou answer me.
23πόσαι εἰσὶν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι μου καὶ ἀνομίαι μου; δίδαξόν με τίνες εἰσί.
23How many are my iniquities and sins? make me know my crimes and offences.
24διατί ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ κρύπτῃ, ἥγησαι δέ με ὑπεναντίον σοι;
24Why hidest thou thy face, and thinkest me thy enemy?
25ἦ ὡς φύλλον κινούμενον ὑπὸ ἀνέμου εὐλαβηθήσῃ ἢ ὡς χόρτῳ φερομένῳ ὑπὸ πνεύματος ἀντίκεισαί μοι;
25Against a leaf, that is carried away with the wind, thou shewest thy power, and thou pursuest a dry straw.
26ὅτι κατέγραψας κατ᾿ ἐμοῦ κακά, περιέθηκας δέ μοι νεότητος ἁμαρτίας,
26For thou writest bitter things against me, and wilt consume me for the sins of my youth.
27ἔθου δέ μου τὸν πόδα ἐν κωλύματι, ἐφύλαξας δέ μου πάντα τὰ ἔργα, εἰς δὲ ρίζας τῶν ποδῶν μου ἀφίκου·
27Thou hast put my feet in the stocks, and hast observed all my paths, and hast considered the steps of my feet:
28ὃ παλαιοῦται ἴσα ἀσκῷ ἢ ὥσπερ ἱμάτιον σητόβρωτον.
28Who am to be consumed as rottenness, and as a garment that is moth-eaten.
