1ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ Βαλδὰδ ὁ Σαυχίτης λέγει·
1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2μέχρι τίνος οὐ παύσῃ; ἐπίσχες, ἵνα καὶ αὐτοὶ λαλήσωμεν.
2“How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
3διατὶ δὲ ὥσπερ τετράποδα σεσιωπήκαμεν ἐναντίον σου;
3Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean in your sight?
4κέχρηταί σοι ὀργή· τί γάρ; ἐὰν σὺ ἀποθάνῃς, ἀοίκητος ἡ ὑπ᾿ οὐρανόν; ἢ καταστραφήσεται ὄρη ἐκ θεμελίων;
4You who tear yourself in your anger, will the earth be forsaken for you? Or will the rock be removed out of its place?
5καὶ φῶς ἀσεβῶν σβεσθήσεται, καὶ οὐκ ἀποβήσεται αὐτῶν ἡ φλόξ·
5“Yes, the light of the wicked will be put out. The spark of his fire won’t shine.
6τὸ φῶς αὐτοῦ σκότος ἐν διαίτῃ, ὁ δὲ λύχνος ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ σβεσθήσεται.
6The light will be dark in his tent. His lamp above him will be put out.
7θηρεύσαισαν ἐλάχιστοι τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ, σφάλαι δὲ αὐτοῦ ἡ βουλή.
7The steps of his strength will be shortened. His own counsel will cast him down.
8ἐμβέβληται δὲ ὁ ποὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν παγίδι, ἐν δικτύῳ ἑλιχθείη.
8For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.
9ἔλθοισαν δὲ ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν παγίδες, κατισχύσει ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν διψῶντας.
9A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him.
10κέκρυπται ἐν τῇ γῇ σχοινίον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ σύλληψις αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τρίβων.
10A noose is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him on the path.
11κύκλῳ ὀλέσαισαν αὐτὸν ὀδύναι, πολλοὶ δὲ περὶ πόδα αὐτοῦ ἔλθοισαν
11Terrors will make him afraid on every side, and will chase him at his heels.
12ἐν λιμῷ στενῷ. πτῶμα δὲ αὐτῷ ἡτοίμασται ἐξαίσιον.
12His strength will be famished. Calamity will be ready at his side.
13βρωθείησαν αὐτοῦ κλῶνες ποδῶν, κατέδεται δὲ αὐτοῦ τὰ ὡραῖα θάνατος.
13The members of his body will be devoured. The firstborn of death will devour his members.
14ἐκραγείη δὲ ἐκ διαίτης αὐτοῦ ἴασις, σχοίη δὲ αὐτὸν ἀνάγκη αἰτίᾳ βασιλικῇ.
14He will be rooted out of the security of his tent. He will be brought to the king of terrors.
15κατασκηνώσει ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ αὐτοῦ ἐν νυκτὶ αὐτοῦ, κατασπαρήσονται τὰ εὐπρεπῆ αὐτοῦ θείῳ.
15There will dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur will be scattered on his habitation.
16ὑποκάτωθεν αἱ ρίζαι αὐτοῦ ξηρανθήσονται, καὶ ἐπάνωθεν ἐπιπεσεῖται θερισμὸς αὐτοῦ.
16His roots will be dried up beneath. His branch will be cut off above.
17τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτοῦ ἀπόλοιτο ἐκ γῆς, καὶ ὑπάρξει ὄνομα αὐτῷ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐξωτέρω.
17His memory will perish from the earth. He will have no name in the street.
18ἀπώσειεν αὐτὸν ἐκ φωτὸς εἰς σκότος.
18He will be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
19οὐκ ἔσται ἐπίγνωστος ἐν λαῷ αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ σεσωσμένος ἐν τῇ ὑπ᾿ οὐρανὸν ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ,
19He will have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he lived.
20ἀλλ᾿ ἐν τοῖς αὐτοῦ ζήσονται ἕτεροι. ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ ἐστέναξαν ἔσχατοι, πρώτους δὲ ἔσχε θαῦμα.
20Those who come after will be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.
21οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ οἶκοι ἀδίκων, οὗτος δὲ ὁ τόπος τῶν μὴ εἰδότων τὸν Κύριον.
21Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn’t know God.”
