Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
King James Version with Apocrypha
1ΙΔΟΥ ταῦτα ἑώρακέ μου ὁ ὀφθαλμὸς καὶ ἀκήκοέ μου τὸ οὖς·
1Lo, mine eye hath seen all this , mine ear hath heard and understood it.
2καὶ οἶδα ὅσα καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐπίστασθε, καὶ οὐκ ἀσυνετώτερός εἰμι ὑμῶν.
2What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.
3οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλ᾿ ἐγὼ πρὸς Κύριον λαλήσω, ἐλέγξω δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ἐὰν βούληται.
3Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
4ὑμεῖς δέ ἐστε ἰατροὶ ἄδικοι καὶ ἰαταὶ κακῶν πάντες.
4But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
5εἴη δὲ ὑμῖν κωφεῦσαι, καὶ ἀποβήσεται ὑμῖν εἰς σοφίαν.
5O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.
6ἀκούσατε ἔλεγχον τοῦ στόματός μου, κρίσιν δὲ χειλέων μου προσέχετε.
6Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
7πότερον οὐκ ἔναντι Κυρίου λαλεῖτε, ἔναντι δὲ αὐτοῦ φθέγγεσθε δόλον;
7Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
8ἦ ὑποστελεῖσθε; ὑμεῖς δὲ αὐτοὶ κριταὶ γίνεσθε.
8Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
9καλόν γε, ἐὰν ἐξιχνιάσῃ ὑμᾶς· εἰ γὰρ τὰ πάντα ποιοῦντες προστεθήσεσθε αὐτῷ,
9Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?
10οὐθὲν ἧττον ἐλέγξει ὑμᾶς· εἰ δὲ καὶ κρυφῇ πρόσωπα θαυμάσεσθε,
10He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
11πότερον οὐχὶ δεινὰ αὐτοῦ στροβήσει ὑμᾶς, φόβος δὲ παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐπιπεσεῖται ὑμῖν;
11Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?
12ἀποβήσεται δὲ ὑμῶν τὸ γαυρίαμα ἴσα σποδῷ, τὸ δὲ σῶμα πήλινον.
12Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
13κωφεύσατε, ἵνα λαλήσω καὶ ἀναπαύσωμαι θυμοῦ
13Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will .
14ἀναλαβὼν τὰς σάρκας μου τοῖς ὀδοῦσι, ψυχὴν δέ μου θήσω ἐν χειρί.
14Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?
15ἐάν με χειρώσηται ὁ δυνάστης, ἐπεὶ καὶ ἦρκται, ἦ μὴν λαλήσω καὶ ἐλέγξω ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ·
15Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
16καὶ τοῦτό μοι ἀποβήσεται εἰς σωτηρίαν, οὐ γὰρ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ δόλος εἰσελεύσεται.
16He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
17ἀκούσατε ἀκούσατε τὰ ρήματά μου, ἀναγγελῶ γὰρ ὑμῶν ἀκουόντων.
17Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
18ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐγγύς εἰμι τοῦ κρίματός μου, οἶδα ἐγὼ ὅτι δίκαιος ἀναφανοῦμαι·
18Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
19τίς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ κριθησόμενός μοι, ὅτι νῦν κωφεύσω καὶ ἐκλείψω;
19Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
20δυοῖν δέ μοι χρήσῃ· τότε ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου σου οὐ κρυβήσομαι.
20Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.
21τὴν χεῖρα ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ ἀπέχου, καὶ ὁ φόβος σου μή με καταπλησσέτω.
21Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.
22εἶτα καλέσεις, ἐγὼ δέ σοι ὑπακούσομαι· ἢ λαλήσεις, ἐγὼ δέ σοι δώσω ἀνταπόκρισιν.
22Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.
23πόσαι εἰσὶν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι μου καὶ ἀνομίαι μου; δίδαξόν με τίνες εἰσί.
23How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.
24διατί ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ κρύπτῃ, ἥγησαι δέ με ὑπεναντίον σοι;
24Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?
25ἦ ὡς φύλλον κινούμενον ὑπὸ ἀνέμου εὐλαβηθήσῃ ἢ ὡς χόρτῳ φερομένῳ ὑπὸ πνεύματος ἀντίκεισαί μοι;
25Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
26ὅτι κατέγραψας κατ᾿ ἐμοῦ κακά, περιέθηκας δέ μοι νεότητος ἁμαρτίας,
26For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
27ἔθου δέ μου τὸν πόδα ἐν κωλύματι, ἐφύλαξας δέ μου πάντα τὰ ἔργα, εἰς δὲ ρίζας τῶν ποδῶν μου ἀφίκου·
27Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.
28ὃ παλαιοῦται ἴσα ἀσκῷ ἢ ὥσπερ ἱμάτιον σητόβρωτον.
28And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.
