1ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ Ἰὼβ λέγει·
1Then Job answered:
2τίνι πρόσκεισαι ἢ τίνι μέλλεις βοηθεῖν; πότερον, οὐχ ᾧ πολλὴ ἰσχὺς καὶ ᾧ βραχίων κραταιός ἐστι;
2“How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble!
3τίνι συμβεβούλευσαι; οὐχ ᾧ πᾶσα σοφία; τίνι ἐπακολουθήσεις; οὐχ ᾧ μεγίστη δύναμις;
3How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight!
4τίνι ἀνήγγειλας ρήματα; πνοὴ δὲ τίνος ἐστὶν ἡ ἐλθοῦσα ἐκ σοῦ;
4To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?
5μὴ γίγαντες μαιωθήσονται ὑποκάτωθεν ὕδατος καὶ τῶν γειτόνων αὐτοῦ;
5The dead tremble— those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.
6γυμνὸς ὁ ᾅδης ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι περιβόλαιον τῇ ἀπωλείᾳ.
6Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.
7ἐκτείνων βορέαν ἐπ᾿ οὐδέν, κρεμάζων γῆν ἐπὶ οὐδενός·
7He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing.
8δεσμεύων ὕδωρ ἐν νεφέλαις αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐρράγη νέφος ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ·
8He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.
9ὁ κρατῶν πρόσωπον θρόνου, ἐκπετάζων ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν νέφος αὐτοῦ.
9He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud.
10πρόσταγμα ἐγύρωσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ὕδατος μέχρι συντελείας φωτὸς μετὰ σκότους.
10He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
11στῦλοι οὐρανοῦ ἐπετάσθησαν καὶ ἐξέστησαν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐπιτιμήσεως αὐτοῦ.
11The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke.
12ἰσχύϊ κατέπαυσε τὴν θάλασσαν, ἐπιστήμῃ δὲ ἔστρωσε τὸ κῆτος·
12By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
13κλεῖθρα δὲ οὐρανοῦ δεδοίκασιν αὐτόν, προστάγματι δὲ ἐθανάτωσε δράκοντα ἀποστάτην.
13By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
14ἰδοὺ ταῦτα μέρη ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ ἰκμάδα λόγου ἀκουσόμεθα ἐν αὐτῷ· σθένος δὲ βροντῆς αὐτοῦ τίς οἶδεν ὁπότε ποιήσει;
14Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”
