1ΠΡΟΣΘΕΙΣ δὲ ἔτι Ἐλιοὺς λέγει·
1Eliu also proceeded, and said:
2μεῖνόν με μικρὸν ἔτι, ἵνα διδάξω σε· ἔτι γὰρ ἐν ἐμοί ἐστι λέξις.
2Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee: for I have yet somewhat to speak in God’s behalf.
3ἀναλαβὼν τὴν ἐπιστήμην μου μακράν, ἔργοις δέ μου δίκαια ἐρῶ ἐπ᾿ ἀληθείας
3I will repeat my knowledge from the beginning, and I will prove my Maker just.
4καὶ οὐκ ἄδικα ρήματα ἀδίκως συνιεῖς.
4For indeed my words are without a lie, and perfect knowledge shall be proved to thee.
5γίνωσκε δὲ ὅτι ὁ Κύριος οὐ μὴ ἀποποιήσηται τὸν ἄκακον. δυνατὸς ἰσχύϊ καρδίας
5God doth not cast away the mighty, whereas he himself also is mighty.
6ἀσεβῆ οὐ μὴ ζωοποιήσει καὶ κρίμα πτωχῶν δώσει.
6But he saveth not the wicked, and he giveth judgment to the poor.
7οὐκ ἀφελεῖ ἀπὸ δικαίου ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ· καὶ μετὰ βασιλέων εἰς θρόνον καὶ καθιεῖ αὐτοὺς εἰς νῖκος, καὶ ὑψωθήσονται.
7He will not take away his eyes from the just, and he placeth kings on the throne for ever, and they are exalted.
8καὶ οἱ πεπεδημένοι ἐν χειροπέδαις συσχεθήσονται ἐν σχοινίοις πενίας,
8And if they shall be in chains, and be bound with the cords of poverty:
9καὶ ἀναγγελεῖ αὐτοῖς τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ παραπτώματα αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἰσχύσουσιν.
9He shall shew them their works, and their wicked deeds, because they have been violent.
10ἀλλὰ τοῦ δικαίου εἰσακούσεται· καὶ εἶπεν ὅτι ἐπιστραφήσονται ἐξ ἀδικίας.
10He also shall open their ear, to correct them: and shall speak, that they may return from iniquity.
11ἐὰν ἀκούσωσι καὶ δουλεύσωσι, συντελέσουσι τὰς ἡμέρας αὐτῶν ἐν ἀγαθοῖς καὶ τὰ ἔτη αὐτῶν ἐν εὐπρεπείαις.
11If they shall hear and observe, they shall accomplish their days in good, and their years in glory.
12ἀσεβεῖς δὲ οὐ διασῴζει παρὰ τὸ μὴ βούλεσθαι αὐτοὺς εἰδέναι τὸν Κύριον καὶ διότι νουθετούμενοι ἀνήκοοι ἦσαν.
12But if they hear not, they shall pass by the sword, and shall be consumed in folly.
13καὶ ὑποκριταὶ καρδίᾳ τάξουσι θυμόν· οὐ βοήσονται, ὅτι ἔδησεν αὐτούς.
13Dissemblers and crafty men prove the wrath of God, neither shall they cry when they are bound.
14ἀποθάνοι τοίνυν ἐν νεότητι ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῶν, ἡ δὲ ζωὴ αὐτῶν τιτρωσκομένη ὑπὸ ἀγγέλων,
14Their soul shall die in a storm, and their life among the effeminate.
15ἀνθ᾿ ὧν ἔθλιψαν ἀσθενῆ καὶ ἀδύνατον, κρίμα δὲ πρᾳέων ἐκθήσει.
15He shall deliver the poor out of his distress, and shall open his ear in affliction.
16καὶ προσέτι ἠπάτησέ σε ἐκ στόματος ἐχθροῦ· ἄβυσσος, κατάχυσις ὑποκάτω αὐτῆς, καὶ κατέβη τράπεζά σου πλήρης πιότητος.
16Therefore he shall set thee at large out of the narrow mouth, and which hath no foundation under it: and the rest of thy table shall be full of fatness.
17οὐχ ὑστερήσει δὲ ἀπὸ δικαίων κρίμα,
17Thy cause hath been judged as that of the wicked, cause and judgment thou shalt recover.
18θυμὸς δὲ ἐπ᾿ ἀσεβεῖς ἔσται δι᾿ ἀσέβειαν δώρων, ὧν ἐδέχοντο ἐπ᾿ ἀδικίαις.
18Therefore let not anger overcome thee to oppress any man: neither let multitude of gifts turn thee aside.
19μή σε ἐκκλινάτω ἑκὼν ὁ νοῦς δεήσεως ἐν ἀνάγκῃ ὄντων ἀδυνάτων, καὶ πάντας τοὺς κραταιοῦντας ἰσχύν.
19Lay down thy greatness without tribulation, and all the mighty of strength.
20μὴ ἐξελκύσῃς τὴν νύκτα τοῦ ἀναβῆναι λαοὺς ἀντ᾿ αὐτῶν·
20Prolong not the night that people may come up for them.
21ἀλλὰ φύλαξαι μὴ πράξῃς ἄτοπα· ἐπὶ τούτων γὰρ ἐξείλω ἀπὸ πτωχείας.
21Beware thou turn not aside to iniquity: for this thou hast begun to follow after misery.
22ἰδοὺ ὁ Ἰσχυρὸς κραταιώσει ἐν ἰσχύϊ αὐτοῦ· τίς γάρ ἐστι κατ᾿ αὐτὸν δυνάστης;
22Behold, God is high in his strength, and none is like him among the lawgivers.
23τίς δέ ἐστιν ὁ ἐτάζων αὐτοῦ τὰ ἔργα; ἢ τίς ὁ εἰπών· ἔπραξεν ἄδικα;
23Who can search out his ways? or who can say to him: Thou has wrought iniquity?
24μνήσθητι, ὅτι μεγάλα ἐστὶν αὐτοῦ τὰ ἔργα, ὧν ἦρξαν ἄνδρες.
24Remember that thou knowest not his work, concerning which men have sung.
25πᾶς ἄνθρωπος εἶδεν ἐν ἑαυτῷ, ὅσοι τιτρωσκόμενοί εἰσι βροτοί.
25All men see him, every one beholdeth afar off.
26ἰδοὺ ὁ Ἰσχυρὸς πολύς, καὶ οὐ γνωσόμεθα· ἀριθμὸς ἐτῶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπέραντος.
26Behold, God is great, exceeding our knowledge: the number of his years is inestimable.
27ἀριθμηταὶ δὲ αὐτῷ σταγόνες ὑετοῦ, καὶ ἐπιχυθήσονται ὑετῷ εἰς νεφέλην·
27He lifteth up the drops of rain, and poureth out showers like floods:
28ρυήσονται παλαιώματα, ἐσκίασε δὲ νέφη ἐπὶ ἀμυθήτων βροτῶν. 28α ὥραν ἔθετο κτήνεσιν, οἴδασι δὲ κοίτης τάξιν. 28β ἐπὶ τούτοις πᾶσιν οὐκ ἐξίσταταί σου ἡ διάνοια οὐδὲ διαλλάσσεταί σου ἡ καρδία ἀπὸ σώματος;
28Which flow from the clouds that cover all above.
29καὶ ἐὰν συνῇ ἀπεκτάσεις νεφέλης, ἰσότητα σκηνῆς αὐτοῦ,
29If he will spread out clouds as his tent,
30ἰδοὺ ἐκτενεῖ ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν ἠδὼ καὶ ριζώματα τῆς θαλάσσης ἐκάλυψεν·
30And lighten with his light from above, he shall cover also the ends of the sea.
31ἐν γὰρ αὐτοῖς κρινεῖ λαούς, δώσει τροφὴν τῷ ἰσχύοντι.
31For by these he judgeth people, and giveth food to many mortals.
32ἐπὶ χειρῶν ἐκάλυψε φῶς καὶ ἐνετείλατο περὶ αὐτῆς ἐν ἀπαντῶντι·
32In his hands he hideth the light, and commandeth it to come again.
33ἀναγγελεῖ περὶ αὐτοῦ φίλον αὐτοῦ Κύριος, κτῆσις καὶ περὶ ἀδικίας.
33He sheweth his friend concerning it, that it is his possession, and that he may come up to it.
