1ΚΑΙ ἀπεκρίθη Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Ἰὼβ καὶ εἶπε·
1And the Lord answering Job out of the whirlwind, said:
2μὴ κρίσιν μετὰ ἱκανοῦ ἐκκλινεῖ, ἐλέγχων δὲ Θεὸν ἀποκριθήσεται αὐτήν;
2Gird up thy loins like a man: I will ask thee, and do thou tell me.
3ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἰὼβ λέγει τῷ Κυρίῳ·
3Wilt thou make void my judgment: and condemn me, that thou mayst be justified?
4τί ἔτι ἐγὼ κρίνομαι, νουθετούμενος καὶ ἐλέγχων Κύριον, ἀκούων τοιαῦτα οὐθὲν ὤν; ἐγὼ δὲ τίνα ἀπόκρισιν δῶ πρὸς ταῦτα; χεῖρα θήσω ἐπὶ στόματί μου·
4And hast thou an arm like God, and canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
5ἅπαξ λελάληκα, ἐπὶ δὲ τῷ δευτέρῳ οὐ προσθήσω.
5Clothe thyself with beauty, and set thyself up on high and be glorious, and put on goodly garments.
6ἔτι δὲ ὑπολαβὼν ὁ Κύριος εἶπε τῷ Ἰὼβ ἐκ τοῦ νέφους·
6Scatter the proud in thy indignation, and behold every arrogant man, and humble him.
7μή, ἀλλὰ ζῶσαι ὥσπερ ἀνὴρ τὴν ὀσφύν σου, ἐρωτήσω δέ σε, σὺ δέ μοι ἀπόκριναι·
7Look on all that are proud, and confound them, and crush the wicked in their place.
8μὴ ἀποποιοῦ μου τὸ κρίμα. οἴει δέ με ἄλλως σοι κεχρηματικέναι ἢ ἵνα ἀναφανῇς δίκαιος;
8Hide them in the dust together, and plunge their faces into the pit.
9ἦ βραχίων σοί ἐστι κατὰ τοῦ Κυρίου, ἢ φωνῇ κατ᾿ αὐτὸν βροντᾷς;
9Then I will confess that thy right hand is able to save thee.
10ἀνάλαβε δὴ ὕψος καὶ δύναμιν, δόξαν δὲ καὶ τιμὴν ἀμφίασαι.
10Behold behemoth whom I made with thee, he eateth grass like an ox.
11ἀπόστειλον δὲ ἀγγέλους ὀργῇ, πάντα δὲ ὑβριστὴν ταπείνωσον·
11His strength is in his loins, and his force in the navel of his belly.
12ὑπερήφανον δὲ σβέσον, σῆψον δὲ ἀσεβεῖς παραχρῆμα,
12He setteth up his tail like a cedar, the sinews of his testicles are wrapped together.
13κρύψον δὲ εἰς γῆν ὁμοθυμαδόν, τὰ δὲ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ἀτιμίας ἔμπλησον·
13His bones are like pipes of brass, his gristle like plates of iron.
14ὁμολογήσω ὅτι δύναται ἡ δεξιά σου σῶσαι.
14He is the beginning of the ways of God, who made him, he will apply his sword.
15ἀλλὰ δὴ ἰδοὺ θηρία παρά σοι, χόρτον ἴσα βουσὶν ἐσθίουσιν.
15To him the mountains bring forth grass: there all the beasts of the field shall play.
16ἰδοὺ δὴ ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ ὀσφύϊ, ἡ δὲ δύναμις αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ ὀμφαλοῦ γαστρός·
16He sleepeth under the shadow, in the covert of the reed, and in moist places.
17ἔστησεν οὐρὰν ὡς κυπάρισσον, τὰ δὲ νεῦρα αὐτοῦ συμπέπλεκται·
17The shades cover his shadow, the willows of the brook shall compass him about.
18αἱ πλευραὶ αὐτοῦ πλευραὶ χάλκειαι, ἡ δὲ ράχις αὐτοῦ σίδηρος χυτός.
18Behold, he will drink up a river, and not wonder: and he trusteth that the Jordan may run into his mouth.
19τοῦτ᾿ ἔστιν ἀρχὴ πλάσματος Κυρίου, πεποιημένον ἐγκαταπαίζεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ.
19In his eyes as with a hook he shall take him, and bore through his nostrils with stakes.
20ἐπελθὼν δὲ ἐπ᾿ ὄρος ἀκρότομον ἐποίησε χαρμονὴν τετράποσιν ἐν τῷ ταρτάρῳ.
20Canst thou draw out the leviathan with a hook, or canst thou tie his tongue with a cord?
21ὑπὸ παντοδαπὰ δένδρα κοιμᾶται, παρὰ πάπυρον καὶ κάλαμον καὶ βούτομον.
21Canst thou put a ring in his nose, or bore through his jaw with a buckle?
22σκιάζονται δὲ ἐν αὐτῷ δένδρα μεγάλα σὺν ραδάμνοις καὶ κλῶνες ἀγροῦ.
22Will he make many supplications to thee, or speak soft words to thee?
23ἐὰν γένηται πλήμμυρα, οὐ μὴ αἰσθηθῇ· πέποιθεν ὅτι προσκρούσει ὁ Ἰορδάνης εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ.
23Will he make a covenant with thee, and wilt thou take him to be a servant for ever?
24ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ αὐτοῦ δέξεται αὐτόν, ἐνσκολιευόμενος τρήσει ρῖνα.
24Shalt thou play with him as with a bird, or tie him up for thy handmaids?
25ἄξεις δὲ δράκοντα ἐν ἀγκίστρῳ, περιθήσεις δὲ φορβαίαν περὶ ρῖνα αὐτοῦ;
25Shall friends cut him in pieces, shall merchants divide him?
26εἰ δήσεις κρίκον ἐν τῷ μυκτῆρι αὐτοῦ, ψελλίῳ δὲ τρυπήσεις τὸ χεῖλος αὐτοῦ;
26Wilt thou fill nets with his skin, and the cabins of fishes with his head?
27λαλήσει δέ σοι δεήσει, ἱκετηρίᾳ μαλακῶς;
27Lay thy hand upon him: remember the battle, and speak no more.
28θήσεται δὲ μετὰ σοῦ διαθήκην; λήψῃ δὲ αὐτὸν δοῦλον αἰώνιον;
28Behold his hope shall fail him, and in the sight of all he shall be cast down.
29παίξῃ δὲ ἐν αὐτῷ ὥσπερ ὀρνέῳ ἢ δήσεις αὐτὸν ὥσπερ στρουθίον παιδίῳ;
