1ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ Ἰὼβ λέγει·
1Then Job answered, and said:
2ἀκήκοα τοιαῦτα πολλά, παρακλήτορες κακῶν πάντες.
2I have often heard such things as these: you are all troublesome comforters.
3τί γάρ; μὴ τάξις ἐστὶ ρήμασι πνεύματος; ἢ τί παρενοχλήσει σοι, ὅτι ἀποκρίνῃ;
3Shall windy words have no end? or is it any trouble to thee to speak?
4κἀγὼ καθ᾿ ὑμᾶς λαλήσω, εἰ ὑπέκειτό γε ἡ ψυχὴ ὑμῶν ἀντὶ τῆς ἐμῆς· εἶτ᾿ ἐναλοῦμαι ὑμῖν ρήμασι, κινήσω δὲ καθ᾿ ὑμῶν κεφαλήν·
4I also could speak like you: and would God your soul were for my soul.
5εἴη δὲ ἰσχὺς ἐν τῷ στόματί μου, κίνησιν δὲ χειλέων οὐ φείσομαι.
5I would comfort you also with words, and would wag my head over you.
6ἐὰν γὰρ λαλήσω, οὐκ ἀλγήσω τὸ τραῦμα· ἐὰν δὲ καὶ σιωπήσω, τί ἔλαττον τρωθήσομαι;
6I would strengthen you with my mouth, and would move my lips, as sparing you.
7νῦν δὲ κατάκοπόν με πεποίηκε, μωρόν, σεσηπότα,
7But what shall I do? If I speak, my pain will not rest: and if I hold my peace, it will not depart from me.
8καὶ ἐπελάβου μου, εἰς μαρτύριον ἐγενήθη· καὶ ἀνέστη ἐν ἐμοὶ τὸ ψεῦδός μου, κατὰ πρόσωπόν μου ἀνταπεκρίθη.
8But now my sorrow hath oppressed me, and all my limbs are brought to nothing.
9ὀργῇ χρησάμενος κατέβαλέ με, ἔβρυξεν ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ τοὺς ὀδόντας, βέλη πειρατῶν αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ ἐμοὶ ἔπεσεν.
9My wrinkles bear witness against me, and a false speaker riseth up against my face, contradicting me.
10ἀκίσιν ὀφθαλμῶν ἐνήλατο, ὀξεῖ ἔπαισέ με εἰς τὰ γόνατα, ὁμοθυμαδὸν δὲ κατέδραμον ἐπ᾿ ἐμοί·
10He hath gathered together his fury against me, and threatening me he hath gnashed with his teeth upon me: my enemy hath beheld me with terrible eyes.
11παρέδωκε γάρ με ὁ Κύριος εἰς χεῖρας ἀδίκων, ἐπὶ δὲ ἀσεβέσιν ἔρριψέ με.
11They have opened their mouths upon me, and reproaching me they have struck me on the cheek, they are filled with my pains.
12εἰρηνεύοντα διεσκέδασέ με, λαβών με τῆς κόμης διέτιλε, κατέστησέ με ὥσπερ σκοπόν.
12God hath shut me up with the unjust man, and hath delivered me into the hands of the wicked.
13ἐκύκλωσάν με λόγχαις βάλλοντες εἰς νεφρούς μου, οὐ φειδόμενοι ἐξέχεαν εἰς τὴν γῆν τὴν χολήν μου·
13I that was formerly so wealthy, am all on a sudden broken to pieces: he hath taken me by my neck, he hath broken me, and hath set me up to be his mark.
14κατέβαλόν με πτῶμα ἐπὶ πτώματι, ἔδραμον πρός με δυνάμενοι.
14He hath compassed me round about with his lances, he hath wounded my loins, he hath not spared, and hath poured out my bowels on the earth.
15σάκκον ἔρραψαν ἐπὶ βύρσης μου, τὸ δὲ σθένος μου ἐν γῇ ἐσβέσθη.
15He hath torn me with wound upon wound, he hath rushed in upon me like a giant.
16ἡ γαστήρ μου συγκέκαυται ἀπὸ κλαυθμοῦ, ἐπὶ δὲ βλεφάροις μου σκιά.
16I have sowed sackcloth upon my skin, and have covered my flesh with ashes.
17ἄδικον δὲ οὐδὲν ἦν ἐν χερσί μου, εὐχὴ δέ μου καθαρά.
17My face is swollen with weeping, and my eyelids are dim.
18γῆ, μὴ ἐπικαλύψῃ ἐφ᾿ αἵματι τῆς σαρκός μου, μηδὲ εἴη τόπος τῇ κραυγῇ μου.
18These things have I suffered without the iniquity of my hand, when I offered pure prayers to God.
19καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἐν οὐρανοῖς ὁ μάρτυς μου, ὁ δὲ συνίστωρ μου ἐν ὑψίστοις.
19O earth, cover not thou my blood, neither let my cry find a hiding place in thee.
20ἀφίκοιτό μου ἡ δέησις πρὸς Κύριον, ἔναντι δὲ αὐτοῦ στάζοι μου ὁ ὀφθαλμός.
20For behold my witness is in heaven, and he that knoweth my conscience is on high.
21εἴη δὲ ἔλεγχος ἀνδρὶ ἔναντι Κυρίου καὶ υἱῷ ἀνθρώπου τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ.
21My friends are full of words: my eye poureth out tears to God.
22ἔτη δὲ ἀριθμητὰ ἥκασιν, ὁδῷ δέ, ᾖ οὐκ ἐπαναστραφήσομαι, πορεύσομαι.
22And O that a man might so be judged with God, as the son of man is judged with his companion!
no verse 23 in this text
23For behold short years pass away and I am walking in a path by which I shall not return.
