ΙΩΒ 35

Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition

Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)

1ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ Ἐλιοὺς λέγει·

1Moreover Eliu spoke these words:

2τί τοῦτο ἡγήσω ἐν κρίσει; σὺ τίς εἶ ὅτι εἶπας· δίκαιός εἰμι ἔναντι Κυρίου;

2Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say: I am more just than God?

3ἐγώ σοι δώσω ἀπόκρισιν καὶ τοῖς τρισὶ φίλοις σου.

3For thou saidst: That which is right doth not please thee: or what will it profit thee if I sin?

4ἀνάβλεψον εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἰδέ, κατάμαθε δὲ νέφη ὡς ὑψηλὰ ἀπὸ σοῦ.

4Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee.

5εἰ ἥμαρτες, τί πράξεις; εἰ δὲ καὶ πολλὰ ἠνόμησας, τί δύνασαι ποιῆσαι;

5Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee.

no verse 6 in this text

6If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? and if thy iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him?

7ἐπεὶ δὲ οὖν δικαιος εἶ, τί δώσεις αὐτῷ; ἢ τί ἐκ χειρός σου λήψεται;

7And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand?

8ἀνδρὶ τῷ ὁμοίῳ σου ἡ ἀσέβειά σου, καὶ υἱῷ ἀνθρώπου ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου.

8Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee: and thy justice may help the son of man.

9ἀπὸ πλήθους συκοφαντούμενοι κεκράξονται, βοήσονται ἀπὸ βραχίονος πολλῶν.

9By reason of the multitude of oppressions they shall cry out: and shall wail for the violence of the arm of tyrants.

10καὶ οὐκ εἶπε· ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ποιήσας με, ὁ κατατάσσων φυλακὰς νυκτερινάς,

10And he hath not said: Where is God, who made me, who hath given songs in the night?

11ὁ διορίζων με ἀπὸ τετραπόδων γῆς, ἀπὸ δὲ πετεινῶν οὐρανοῦ;

11Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us more than the fowls of the air.

12ἐκεῖ κεκράξονται, καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσακούσῃ καὶ ἀπὸ ὕβρεως πονηρῶν.

12There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men.

13ἄτοπα γὰρ οὐ βούλεται ἰδεῖν ὁ Κύριος, αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ Παντοκράτωρ

13God therefore will not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into the causes of every one.

14ὁρατής ἐστι τῶν συντελούντων τὰ ἄνομα καὶ σώσει με. κρίθητι δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ, εἰ δύνασαι αὐτὸν αἰνέσαι, ὥς ἐστι.

14Yea when thou shalt say: He considereth not: be judged before him, and expect him.

15καὶ νῦν ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπισκεπτόμενος ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω παράπτωμά τι σφόδρα·

15For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly.

16καὶ Ἰὼβ ματαίως ἀνοίγει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ, ἐν ἀγνωσίᾳ ρήματα βαρύνει.

16Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge.
