King James Version with Apocrypha
1ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ Ἐλιφὰζ ὁ Θαιμανίτης λέγει·
1Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
2πότερον σοφὸς ἀπόκρισιν δώσει συνέσεως πνεῦμα καὶ ἐνέπλησε πόνον γαστρὸς
2Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
3ἐλέγχων ἐν ρήμασιν, οἷς οὐ δεῖ, καὶ ἐν λόγοις, οἷς οὐδὲν ὄφελος;
3Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
4οὐ καὶ σὺ ἀπεποιήσω φόβον, συνετελέσω δὲ ρήματα τοιαῦτα ἔναντι τοῦ Κυρίου;
4Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
5ἔνοχος εἶ ρήμασι στόματός σου, οὐδὲ διέκρινας ρήματα δυναστῶν.
5For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
6ἐλέγξαι σε τὸ σὸν στόμα καὶ μὴ ἐγώ, τὰ δὲ χείλη σου καταμαρτυρήσουσί σου·
6Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
7τί γάρ; μὴ πρῶτος ἀνθρώπων ἐγεννήθης; ἢ πρὸ θινῶν ἐπάγης;
7Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
8ἦ σύνταγμα Κυρίου ἀκήκοας, ἢ συμβούλῳ σοι ἐχρήσατο ὁ Θεός, εἰς δὲ σὲ ἀφίκετο σοφία;
8Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
9τί γὰρ οἶδας, ὃ οὐκ οἴδαμεν; ἢ τί συνίεις σύ, ὃ οὐ καὶ ἡμεῖς;
9What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?
10καί γε πρεσβύτης καί γε παλαιὸς ἐν ἡμῖν, βαρύτερος τοῦ πατρός σου ἡμέραις.
10With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.
11ὀλίγα ὧν ἡμάρτηκας μεμαστίγωσαι, μεγάλως ὑπερβαλλόντως λελάληκας.
11Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
12τί ἐτόλμησεν ἡ καρδία σου, ἢ τί ὑπένεγκαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου;
12Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
13ὅτι θυμὸν ἔρρηξας ἔναντι Κυρίου, ἐξήγαγες δὲ ἐκ στόματος ρήματα τοιαῦτα.
13That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?
14τίς γὰρ ὢν βροτός, ὅτι ἔσται ἄμεμπτος, ἢ ὡς ἐσόμενος δίκαιος γεννητὸς γυναικός;
14What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15εἰ κατὰ ἁγίων οὐ πιστεύει, οὐρανὸς δὲ οὐ καθαρὸς ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ;
15Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
16ἔα δὲ ἐβδελυγμένος καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἀνήρ, πίνων ἀδικίας ἴσα ποτῷ·
16How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
17ἀναγγελῶ δέ σοι, ἄκουέ μου· ἃ δὴ ἐώρακα, ἀναγγελῶ σοι,
17I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
18ἃ σοφοὶ ἐροῦσι καὶ οὐκ ἔκρυψαν πατέρες αὐτῶν·
18Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
19αὐτοῖς μόνοις ἐδόθη ἡ γῆ, καὶ οὐκ ἐπῆλθεν ἀλλογενὴς ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς.
19Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
20πᾶς ὁ βίος ἀσεβοῦς ἐν φροντίδι, ἔτη δὲ ἀριθμητὰ δεδομένα δυνάστῃ,
20The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
21ὁ δὲ φόβος αὐτοῦ ἐν ὠσὶν αὐτοῦ· ὅταν δοκῇ ἤδη εἰρηνεύειν, ἥξει αὐτοῦ ἡ καταστροφή.
21A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
22μὴ πιστευέτω ἀποστραφῆναι ἀπὸ σκότους· ἐντέταλται γὰρ ἤδη εἰς χεῖρας σιδήρου,
22He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
23κατατέτακται δὲ εἰς σῖτα γυψίν· οἶδε δὲ ἐν ἑαυτῷ ὅτι μένει εἰς πτῶμα. ἡμέρα δὲ σκοτεινὴ αὐτὸν στροβήσει,
23He wandereth abroad for bread, saying , Where is it ? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
24ἀνάγκη δὲ καὶ θλῖψις αὐτὸν καθέξει ὥσπερ στρατηγὸς πρωτοστάτης πίπτων.
24Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
25ὅτι ἦρκε χεῖρας ἐναντίον τοῦ Κυρίου, ἔναντι δὲ Κυρίου παντοκράτορος ἐτραχηλίασεν,
25For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
26ἔδραμε δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ὕβρει ἐν πάχει νώτου ἀσπίδος αὐτοῦ,
26He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
27ὅτι ἐκάλυψε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐν στέατι αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐποίησε περιστόμιον ἐπὶ τῶν μηρίων.
27Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.
28αὐλισθείη δὲ πόλεις ἐρήμους, εἰσέλθοι δὲ εἰς οἴκους ἀοικήτους· ἃ δὲ ἐκεῖνοι ἡτοίμασαν, ἄλλοι ἀποίσονται.
28And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
29οὔτε μὴ πλουτισθῇ, οὔτε μὴ μείνῃ αὐτοῦ τὰ ὑπάρχοντα, οὐ μὴ βάλῃ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν σκιὰν
29He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.
30οὐδὲ μὴ ἐκφύγῃ τὸ σκότος. τὸν βλαστὸν αὐτοῦ μαράναι ἄνεμος, ἐκπέσοι δὲ αὐτοῦ τὸ ἄνθος.
30He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
31μὴ πιστευέτω ὅτι ὑπομενεῖ, κενὰ γὰρ ἀποβήσεται αὐτῷ·
31Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.
32ἡ τομὴ αὐτοῦ πρὸ ὥρας φθαρήσεται, καὶ ὁ ράδαμνος αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ πυκάσῃ·
32It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
33τρυγηθείη δὲ ὡς ὄμβραξ πρὸς ὥρας, ἐκπέσοι δὲ ὡς ἄνθος ἐλαίας.
33He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
34μαρτύριον γὰρ ἀσεβοῦς θάνατος, πῦρ δὲ καύσει οἴκους δωροδεκτῶν.
34For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
35ἐν γαστρὶ δὲ λήψεται ὀδύνας, ἀποβήσεται δὲ ἑαυτῷ κενά, ἡ δὲ κοιλία αὐτοῦ ὑποίσει δόλον.
35They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
