Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
King James Version with Apocrypha
1ΕΙ ἔγνως καιρὸν τοκετοῦ τραγελάφων πέτρας, ἐφύλαξας δὲ ὠδῖνας ἐλάφων;
1Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
2ἠρίθμησας δὲ μῆνας αὐτῶν πλήρεις τοκετοῦ αὐτῶν, ὠδῖνας δὲ αὐτῶν ἔδυσας;
2Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
3ἐξέθρεψας δὲ αὐτῶν τὰ παιδία ἔξω φόβου; ὠδῖνας δὲ αὐτῶν ἐξαποστελεῖς;
3They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.
4ἀπορρήξουσι τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν, πληθυνθήσονται ἐν γεννήματι· ἐξελεύσονται, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀνακάμψουσιν αὐτοῖς.
4Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them.
5τίς δέ ἐστιν ὁ ἀφεὶς ὄνον ἄγριον ἐλεύθερον, δεσμοὺς δὲ αὐτοῦ τίς ἔλυσεν;
5Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?
6ἐθέμην δὲ τὴν δίαιταν αὐτοῦ ἔρημον, καὶ τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτοῦ ἁλμυρίδα·
6Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.
7καταγελῶν πολυοχλίας πόλεως, μέμψιν δὲ φορολόγου οὐκ ἀκούων,
7He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.
8κατασκέψεται ὄρη νομὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ὀπίσω παντὸς χλωροῦ ζητεῖ.
8The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.
9βουλήσεται δέ σοι μονόκερως δουλεῦσαι ἢ κοιμηθῆναι ἐπὶ φάτνης σου;
9Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
10δήσεις δὲ ἐν ἱμᾶσι ζυγὸν αὐτοῦ ἢ ἑλκύσει σου αὔλακας ἐν πεδίῳ;
10Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
11πέποιθας δὲ ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ, ὅτι πολλὴ ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτοῦ, ἐπαφήσεις δὲ αὐτῷ τὰ ἔργα σου;
11Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
12πιστεύσεις δὲ ὅτι ἀποδώσει σοι τὸν σπόρον, εἰσοίσει δέ σου τὸν ἅλωνα;
12Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?
13πτέρυξ τερπομένων νεέλασα, ἐὰν συλλάβῃ ἀσίδα καὶ νέσσα·
13Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?
14ὅτι ἀφήσει εἰς γῆν τὰ ὠὰ αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπὶ χοῦν θάλψει
14Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,
15καὶ ἐπελάθετο ὅτι ποὺς σκορπιεῖ καὶ θηρία ἀγροῦ καταπατήσει·
15And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
16ἀπεσκλήρυνε τὰ τέκνα ἑαυτῆς, ὥστε μὴ ἑαυτήν, εἰς κενὸν ἐκοπίασεν ἄνευ φόβου·
16She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear;
17ὅτι κατεσιώπησεν αὐτῇ ὁ Θεὸς σοφίαν καὶ οὐκ ἐπεμέρισεν αὐτῇ ἐν τῇ συνέσει.
17Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
18κατὰ καιρὸν ἐν ὕψει ὑψώσει, καταγελάσεται ἵππου καὶ τοῦ ἐπιβάτου αὐτοῦ.
18What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
19ἦ σὺ περιέθηκας ἵππῳ δύναμιν, ἐνέδυσας δὲ τραχήλῳ αὐτοῦ φόβον;
19Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
20περιέθηκας δὲ αὐτῷ πανοπλίαν, δόξαν δὲ στηθέων αὐτοῦ τόλμῃ;
20Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
21ἀνορύσσων ἐν πεδίῳ γαυριᾷ, ἐκπορεύεται δὲ εἰς πεδίον ἐν ἰσχύϊ·
21He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.
22συναντῶν βασιλεῖ καταγελᾷ καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποστραφῇ ἀπὸ σιδήρου·
22He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.
23ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ γαυριᾷ τόξον καὶ μάχαιρα,
23The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
24καὶ ὀργῇ ἀφανιεῖ τὴν γῆν καὶ οὐ μὴ πιστεύσει, ἕως ἂν σημάνῃ σάλπιγξ·
24He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.
25σάλπιγγος δὲ σημαινούσης λέγει· εὖγε. πόρρωθεν δὲ ὀσφραίνεται πολέμου σὺν ἅλματι καὶ κραυγῇ.
25He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
26ἐκ δὲ τῆς σῆς ἐπιστήμης ἕστηκεν ἱέραξ, ἀναπετάσας τὰς πτέρυγας, ἀκίνητος, καθορῶν τὰ πρὸς νότον;
26Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?
27ἐπὶ δὲ σῷ προστάγματι ὑψοῦται ἀετός, γὺψ δὲ ἐπὶ νοσσιᾶς αὐτοῦ καθεσθεὶς αὐλίζεται
27Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?
28ἐπ᾿ ἐξοχῇ πέτρας καὶ ἀποκρύφῳ;
28She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.
29ἐκεῖσε ὢν ζητεῖ τὰ σῖτα, πόρρωθεν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ σκοπεύουσι·
29From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.
30νεοσσοὶ δὲ αὐτοῦ φύρονται ἐν αἵματι, οὗ δ᾿ ἂν ὦσι τεθνεῶτες, παραχρῆμα εὑρίσκονται.
30Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are , there is she.
