King James Version with Apocrypha
1ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ Ἐλιφὰζ ὁ Θαιμανίτης λέγει·
1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
2πότερον οὐχὶ ὁ Κύριός ἐστιν ὁ διδάσκων σύνεσιν καὶ ἐπιστήμην;
2Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
3τί γὰρ μέλει τῷ Κυρίῳ, ἐὰν σὺ ἦσθα τοῖς ἔργοις ἄμεμπτος; ἢ ὠφέλεια, ὅτι ἁπλώσεις τὴν ὁδόν σου;
3Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him , that thou makest thy ways perfect?
4ἦ λόγον σου ποιούμενος ἐλέγξει σε, καὶ συνεισελεύσεταί σοι εἰς κρίσιν;
4Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?
5πότερον οὐχ ἡ κακία σού ἐστι πολλή, ἀναρίθμητοι δὲ σού εἰσιν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι;
5Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
6ἠνεχύραζες δὲ τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου διακενῆς, ἀμφίασιν δὲ γυμνῶν ἀφείλου·
6For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
7οὐδὲ ὕδωρ διψῶντας ἐπότισας, ἀλλὰ πεινώντων ἐστέρησας ψωμόν·
7Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
8ἐθαύμασας δέ τινων πρόσωπον, ᾤκισας δὲ τοὺς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
8But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.
9χήρας δὲ ἐξαπέστειλας κενάς, ὀρφανοὺς δὲ ἐκάκωσας.
9Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
10τοιγαροῦν ἐκύκλωσάν σε παγίδες, καὶ ἐσπούδασέ σε πόλεμος ἐξαίσιος.
10Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;
11τὸ φῶς σοι σκότος ἀπέβη, κοιμηθέντα δὲ ὕδωρ σε ἐκάλυψε.
11Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.
12μὴ οὐχὶ ὁ τὰ ὑψηλὰ ναίων ἐφορᾷ; τοὺς δὲ ὕβρει φερομένους ἐταπείνωσε;
12Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
13καὶ εἶπας· τί ἔγνω ὁ ἰσχυρός; ἦ κατὰ τοῦ γνόφου κρινεῖ;
13And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
14νεφέλη ἀποκρυφὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐχ ὁραθήσεται καὶ γῦρον οὐρανοῦ διαπορεύεται.
14Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
15μὴ τρίβον αἰώνιον φυλάξεις, ἣν ἐπάτησαν ἄνδρες δίκαιοι,
15Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
16οἳ συνελήφθησαν ἄωροι; ποταμὸς ἐπιρρέων οἱ θεμέλιοι αὐτῶν,
16Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:
17οἱ λέγοντες· Κύριος τί ποιήσει ἡμῖν; ἢ τί ἐπάξεται ἡμῖν ὁ Παντοκράτωρ;
17Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?
18ὃς δὲ ἐνέπλησε τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν ἀγαθῶν, βουλὴ δὲ ἀσεβῶν πόρρω ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
18Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19ἰδόντες δίκαιοι ἐγέλασαν, ἄμεμπτος δὲ ἐμυκτήρισεν.
19The righteous see it , and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.
20εἰ μὴ ἠφανίσθη ἡ ὑπόστασις αὐτῶν, καὶ τὸ κατάλειμμα αὐτῶν καταφάγεται πῦρ.
20Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
21γενοῦ δὴ σκληρός, ἐὰν ὑπομείνῃς· εἶτα ὁ καρπός σου ἔσται ἐν ἀγαθοῖς.
21Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.
22ἔκλαβε δὲ ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐξηγορίαν καὶ ἀνάλαβε τὰ ρήματα αὐτοῦ ἐν καρδίᾳ σου.
22Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
23ἐὰν δὲ ἐπιστραφῇς καὶ ταπεινώσῃς σεαυτὸν ἔναντι Κυρίου, πόρρω ἐποίησας ἀπὸ διαίτης σου ἄδικον.
23If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
24θήσῃ ἐπὶ χώματι ἐν πέτρᾳ καὶ ὡς πέτρα χειμάρρου Σωφίρ.
24Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
25ἔσται οὖν σου ὁ Παντοκράτωρ βοηθὸς ἀπὸ ἐχθρῶν, καθαρὸν δὲ ἀποδώσει σε ὥσπερ ἀργύριον πεπυρωμένον.
25Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
26εἶτα παρρησιασθήσῃ ἐναντίον Κυρίου ἀναβλέψας εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν ἱλαρῶς·
26For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
27εὐξαμένου δέ σου πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰσακούσεταί σου, δώσει δέ σοι ἀποδοῦναι τὰς εὐχάς·
27Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
28ἀποκαταστήσει δέ σοι δίαιταν δικαιοσύνης, ἐπὶ δὲ ὁδοῖς σου ἔσται φέγγος.
28Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
29ὅτι ἐταπείνωσας σεαυτόν, καὶ ἐρεῖς· ὑπερηφανεύσατο, καὶ κύφοντα ὀφθαλμοῖς σώσει.
29When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
30ρύσεται ἀθῷον, καὶ διασώθητι ἐν καθαραῖς χερσί σου.
30He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
