1ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ Ἰὼβ λέγει·
1Then Job answered, and said:
2ἕως τίνος ἔγκοπον ποιήσετε ψυχήν μου καὶ καθαιρεῖτέ με λόγοις; γνῶτε μόνον ὅτι ὁ Κύριος ἐποίησέ με οὕτως·
2How long do you afflict my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
3καταλαλεῖτέ μου, οὐκ αἰσχυνόμενοί με ἐπίκεισθέ μοι.
3Behold, these ten times you confound me, and are not ashamed to oppress me.
4ναὶ δὴ ἐπ᾿ ἀληθείας ἐγὼ ἐπλανήθην, παρ᾿ ἐμοὶ δὲ αὐλίζεται πλάνος λαλῆσαι ρήματα, ἃ οὐκ ἔδει, τὰ δὲ ρήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
4For if I have been ignorant, my ignorance shall be with me.
5ἔα δὲ ὅτι ἐπ᾿ ἐμοὶ μεγαλύνεσθε, ἐνάλλεσθε δέ μοι ὀνείδει.
5But you have set yourselves up against me, and reprove me with my reproaches.
6γνῶτε οὖν ὅτι Κύριός ἐστιν ὁ ταράξας, ὀχύρωμα δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ ὕψωσεν.
6At least now understand, that God hath not afflicted me with an equal judgment, and compassed me with his scourges.
7ἰδοὺ γελῶ ὀνείδει καὶ οὐ λαλήσω· κεκράξομαι, καὶ οὐδαμοῦ κρίμα.
7Behold I cry suffering violence, and no one will hear: I shall cry aloud, and there is none to judge.
8κύκλῳ περιῳκοδόμημαι, καὶ οὐ μὴ διαβῶ, ἐπὶ πρόσωπόν μου σκότος ἔθετο.
8He hath hedged in my path round about, and I cannot pass, and in my way he hath set darkness.
9τὴν δὲ δόξαν ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ ἐξέδυσεν, ἀφεῖλε δὲ στέφανον ἀπὸ κεφαλῆς μου.
9He hath stripped me of my glory, and hath taken the crown from my head.
10διέσπασέ με κύκλῳ καὶ ᾠχόμην· ἐξέκοψε δὲ ὥσπερ δένδρον τὴν ἐλπίδα μου.
10He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am lost, and he hath taken away my hope, as from a tree that is plucked up.
11δεινῶς δέ μοι ὀργῇ ἐχρήσατο, ἡγήσατο δέ με ὥσπερ ἐχθρόν.
11His wrath is kindled against me, and he hath counted me as his enemy.
12ὁμοθυμαδὸν δὲ ἦλθον τὰ πειρατήρια αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ ἐμοί, ταῖς ὁδοῖς μου ἐκύκλωσαν ἐγκάθετοι.
12His troops have come together, and have made themselves a way by me, and have besieged my tabernacle round about.
13ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ ἀδελφοί μου ἀπέστησαν, ἔγνωσαν ἀλλοτρίους ἢ ἐμέ· φίλοι δέ μου ἀνελεήμονες γεγόνασιν.
13He hath put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintance like strangers have departed from me.
14οὐ προσεποιήσαντό με οἱ ἐγγύτατοί μου, καὶ οἱ εἰδότες μου τὸ ὄνομα ἐπελάθοντό μου.
14My kinsmen have forsaken me, and they that knew me, have forgotten me.
15γείτονες οἰκίας θεράπαιναί τέ μου, ἀλλογενὴς ἤμην ἐναντίον αὐτῶν.
15They that dwelt in my house, and my maidservants have counted me a stranger, and I have been like an alien in their eyes.
16θεράποντά μου ἐκάλεσα, καὶ οὐχ ὑπήκουσε· στόμα δέ μου ἐδέετο.
16I called my servant, and he gave me no answer, I entreated him with my own mouth.
17καὶ ἱκέτευον τὴν γυναῖκά μου, προσεκαλούμην δὲ κολακεύων υἱοὺς παλλακίδων μου·
17My wife hath abhorred my breath, and I entreated the children of my womb.
18οἱ δὲ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνά με ἀπεποιήσαντο· ὅταν ἀναστῶ, κατ᾿ ἐμοῦ λαλοῦσιν.
18Even fools despise me; and when I gone from them, they spoke against me.
19ἐβδελύξαντό με οἱ ἰδόντες με· οὓς δὴ ἠγαπήκειν, ἐπανέστησάν μοι.
19They that were sometime my counsellors, have abhorred me: and he whom I love most is turned against me.
20ἐν δέρματί μου ἐσάπησαν αἱ σάρκες μου, τὰ δὲ ὀστᾶ μου ἐν ὀδοῦσιν ἔχεται.
20The flesh being consumed. My bone hath cleaved to my skin, and nothing but lips are left about my teeth.
21ἐλεήσατέ με, ἐλεήσατέ με, ὦ φίλοι, χεὶρ γὰρ Κυρίου ἡ ἁψαμένη μού ἐστι.
21Have pity on me, have pity on me, at least you my friends, because the hand of the Lord hath touched me.
22διατί με διώκετε ὥσπερ καὶ ὁ Κύριος; ἀπὸ δὲ σαρκῶν μου οὐκ ἐμπίπλασθε;
22Why do you persecute me as God, and glut yourselves with my flesh?
23τίς γὰρ ἂν δοίη γραφῆναι τὰ ρήματά μου, τεθῆναι δὲ αὐτὰ ἐν βιβλίῳ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα;
23Who will grant me that my words may be written? Who will grant me that they may be marked down in a book?
24ἐν γραφείῳ σιδηρῷ καὶ μολίβῳ ἢ ἐν πέτραις ἐγγλυφῆναι;
24With an iron pen and in a plate of lead, or else be graven with an instrument in flint stone.
25οἶδα γὰρ ὅτι ἀένναός ἐστιν ὁ ἐκλύειν με μέλλων ἐπὶ γῆς,
25For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and in the last day I shall rise out of the earth.
26ἀναστήσει δὲ τὸ δέρμα μου τὸ ἀναντλοῦν ταῦτα· παρὰ γὰρ Κυρίου ταῦτά μοι συνετελέσθη,
26And I shall be clothed again with my skin, and in my flesh I will see my God.
27ἃ ἐγὼ ἐμαυτῷ συνεπίσταμαι, ἃ ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἑώρακε καὶ οὐκ ἄλλος, πάντα δέ μοι συντετέλεσθαι ἐν κόλπῳ.
27Whom I myself shall see, and my eyes shall behold, and not another: this my hope is laid up in my bosom.
28εἰ δὲ καὶ ἐρεῖτε· τί ἐροῦμεν ἔναντι αὐτοῦ; καὶ ρίζαν λόγου εὑρήσομεν ἐν αὐτῷ·
28Why then do you say now: Let us persecute him, and let us find occasion of word against him?
29εὐλαβήθητε δὴ καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀπὸ ἐπικαλύμματος, θυμὸς γὰρ ἐπ᾿ ἀνόμους ἐπελεύσεται, καὶ τότε γνώσονται ποῦ ἐστιν αὐτῶν ἡ ὕλη.
29Flee then from the face of the sword, for the sword is the revenger of iniquities: and know ye that there is judgment.
