World English Bible
1ΚΑΙ ἀπὸ ταύτης ἐταράχθη ἡ καρδία μου καὶ ἀπερρύη ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτῆς.
1“Yes, at this my heart trembles, and is moved out of its place.
2ἄκουε ἀκοὴν ἐν ὀργῇ θυμοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ μελέτη ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐξελεύσεται.
2Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, the sound that goes out of his mouth.
3ὑποκάτω παντὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἡ ἀρχὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ φῶς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πτερύγων τῆς γῆς.
3He sends it out under the whole sky, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.
4ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ βοήσεται φωνῇ, βροντήσει ἐν φωνῇ ὕβρεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἀνταλλάξει αὐτούς, ὅτι ἀκούσει φωνὴν αὐτοῦ.
4After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty. He doesn’t hold back anything when his voice is heard.
5βροντήσει ὁ ἰσχυρὸς ἐν φωνῇ αὐτοῦ θαυμάσια· ἐποίησε γὰρ μεγάλα ἃ οὐκ ᾔδειμεν,
5God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can’t comprehend.
6συντάσσων χιόνι· γίνου ἐπὶ γῆς, καὶ χειμὼν ὑετός, καὶ χειμὼν ὑετῶν δυναστείας αὐτοῦ.
6For he says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of his mighty rain.
7ἐν χειρὶ παντὸς ἀνθρώπου κατασφραγίζει, ἵνα γνῷ πᾶς ἄνθρωπος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἀσθένειαν.
7He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he has made may know it.
8εἰσῆλθε δὲ θηρία ὑπὸ τὴν σκέπην, ἡσύχασαν δὲ ἐπὶ κοίτης.
8Then the animals take cover, and remain in their dens.
9ἐκ ταμιείων ἐπέρχονται ὀδύναι, ἀπὸ δὲ ἀκρωτηρίων ψῦχος,
9Out of its room comes the storm, and cold out of the north.
10καὶ ἀπὸ πνοῆς ἰσχυροῦ δώσει πάγος, οἰακίζει δὲ τὸ ὕδωρ ὡς ἐὰν βούληται·
10By the breath of God, ice is given, and the width of the waters is frozen.
11καὶ ἐκλεκτὸν καταπλάσσει νεφέλη, διασκορπιεῖ νέφος φῶς αὐτοῦ.
11Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.
12καὶ αὐτὸς κυκλώματα διαστρέψει, ἐν θεεβουλαθὼθ εἰς ἔργα αὐτῶν. πάντα ὅσα ἂν ἐντείληται αὐτοῖς, ταῦτα συντέτακται παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς,
12It is turned around by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them on the surface of the habitable world,
13ἐὰν εἰς παιδείαν, ἐὰν εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ, ἐὰν εἰς ἔλεος εὑρήσει αὐτόν.
13whether it is for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.
14ἐνωτίζου ταῦτα, Ἰώβ· στῆθι νουθετούμενος δύναμιν Κυρίου.
14“Listen to this, Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15οἴδαμεν ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς ἔθετο ἔργα αὐτοῦ φῶς ποιήσας ἐκ σκότους.
15Do you know how God controls them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
16ἐπίσταται δὲ διάκρισιν νεφῶν, ἐξαίσια δὲ πτώματα πονηρῶν.
16Do you know the workings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
17σοῦ δὲ ἡ στολὴ θερμή, ἡσυχάζεται δὲ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
17You whose clothing is warm when the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
18στερεώσεις μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ εἰς παλαιώματα, ἰσχυραὶ ὡς ὅρασις ἐπιχύσεως.
18Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?
19διατί; δίδαξόν με, τί ἐροῦμεν αὐτῷ· καὶ παυσώμαθε πολλὰ λέγοντες.
19Teach us what we will tell him, for we can’t make our case by reason of darkness.
20μὴ βίβλος ἢ γραμματεύς μοι παρέστηκεν, ἵνα ἄνθρωπον ἑστηκὼς κατασιωπήσω;
20Will it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
21πᾶσι δὲ οὐχ ὁρατὸν τὸ φῶς, τηλαυγές ἐστιν ἐν τοῖς παλαιώμασιν, ὥσπερ τὸ παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ νεφῶν.
21Now men don’t see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes, and clears them.
22ἀπὸ βορρᾶ νέφη χρυσαυγοῦντα· ἐπὶ τούτοις μεγάλη ἡ δόξα καὶ τιμὴ Παντοκράτορος.
22Out of the north comes golden splendor. With God is awesome majesty.
23καὶ οὐχ εὑρίσκομεν ἄλλον ὅμοιον τῇ ἰσχύϊ αὐτοῦ· ὁ τὰ δίκαια κρίνων, οὐκ οἴει ἐπακούειν αὐτόν;
23We can’t reach the Almighty. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.
24διὸ φοβηθήσονται αὐτὸν οἱ ἄνθρωποι, φοβηθήσονται δὲ αὐτὸν καὶ οἱ σοφοὶ καρδίᾳ.
24Therefore men revere him. He doesn’t regard any who are wise of heart.”
