1ΚΑΙ ἀπεκρίθη Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Ἰὼβ καὶ εἶπε·
1Moreover the LORD answered Job,
2μὴ κρίσιν μετὰ ἱκανοῦ ἐκκλινεῖ, ἐλέγχων δὲ Θεὸν ἀποκριθήσεται αὐτήν;
2“Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.”
3ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἰὼβ λέγει τῷ Κυρίῳ·
3Then Job answered the LORD,
4τί ἔτι ἐγὼ κρίνομαι, νουθετούμενος καὶ ἐλέγχων Κύριον, ἀκούων τοιαῦτα οὐθὲν ὤν; ἐγὼ δὲ τίνα ἀπόκρισιν δῶ πρὸς ταῦτα; χεῖρα θήσω ἐπὶ στόματί μου·
4“Behold, I am of small account. What will I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.
5ἅπαξ λελάληκα, ἐπὶ δὲ τῷ δευτέρῳ οὐ προσθήσω.
5I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”
6ἔτι δὲ ὑπολαβὼν ὁ Κύριος εἶπε τῷ Ἰὼβ ἐκ τοῦ νέφους·
6Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind:
7μή, ἀλλὰ ζῶσαι ὥσπερ ἀνὴρ τὴν ὀσφύν σου, ἐρωτήσω δέ σε, σὺ δέ μοι ἀπόκριναι·
7“Now brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you will answer me.
8μὴ ἀποποιοῦ μου τὸ κρίμα. οἴει δέ με ἄλλως σοι κεχρηματικέναι ἢ ἵνα ἀναφανῇς δίκαιος;
8Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?
9ἦ βραχίων σοί ἐστι κατὰ τοῦ Κυρίου, ἢ φωνῇ κατ᾿ αὐτὸν βροντᾷς;
9Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?
10ἀνάλαβε δὴ ὕψος καὶ δύναμιν, δόξαν δὲ καὶ τιμὴν ἀμφίασαι.
10“Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity. Array yourself with honor and majesty.
11ἀπόστειλον δὲ ἀγγέλους ὀργῇ, πάντα δὲ ὑβριστὴν ταπείνωσον·
11Pour out the fury of your anger. Look at everyone who is proud, and bring him low.
12ὑπερήφανον δὲ σβέσον, σῆψον δὲ ἀσεβεῖς παραχρῆμα,
12Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked in their place.
13κρύψον δὲ εἰς γῆν ὁμοθυμαδόν, τὰ δὲ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ἀτιμίας ἔμπλησον·
13Hide them in the dust together. Bind their faces in the hidden place.
14ὁμολογήσω ὅτι δύναται ἡ δεξιά σου σῶσαι.
14Then I will also admit to you that your own right hand can save you.
15ἀλλὰ δὴ ἰδοὺ θηρία παρά σοι, χόρτον ἴσα βουσὶν ἐσθίουσιν.
15“See now behemoth, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as an ox.
16ἰδοὺ δὴ ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ ὀσφύϊ, ἡ δὲ δύναμις αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ ὀμφαλοῦ γαστρός·
16Look now, his strength is in his thighs. His force is in the muscles of his belly.
17ἔστησεν οὐρὰν ὡς κυπάρισσον, τὰ δὲ νεῦρα αὐτοῦ συμπέπλεκται·
17He moves his tail like a cedar. The sinews of his thighs are knit together.
18αἱ πλευραὶ αὐτοῦ πλευραὶ χάλκειαι, ἡ δὲ ράχις αὐτοῦ σίδηρος χυτός.
18His bones are like tubes of bronze. His limbs are like bars of iron.
19τοῦτ᾿ ἔστιν ἀρχὴ πλάσματος Κυρίου, πεποιημένον ἐγκαταπαίζεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ.
19He is the chief of the ways of God. He who made him gives him his sword.
20ἐπελθὼν δὲ ἐπ᾿ ὄρος ἀκρότομον ἐποίησε χαρμονὴν τετράποσιν ἐν τῷ ταρτάρῳ.
20Surely the mountains produce food for him, where all the animals of the field play.
21ὑπὸ παντοδαπὰ δένδρα κοιμᾶται, παρὰ πάπυρον καὶ κάλαμον καὶ βούτομον.
21He lies under the lotus trees, in the covert of the reed, and the marsh.
22σκιάζονται δὲ ἐν αὐτῷ δένδρα μεγάλα σὺν ραδάμνοις καὶ κλῶνες ἀγροῦ.
22The lotuses cover him with their shade. The willows of the brook surround him.
23ἐὰν γένηται πλήμμυρα, οὐ μὴ αἰσθηθῇ· πέποιθεν ὅτι προσκρούσει ὁ Ἰορδάνης εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ.
23Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn’t tremble. He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.
24ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ αὐτοῦ δέξεται αὐτόν, ἐνσκολιευόμενος τρήσει ρῖνα.
24Shall any take him when he is on the watch, or pierce through his nose with a snare?
25ἄξεις δὲ δράκοντα ἐν ἀγκίστρῳ, περιθήσεις δὲ φορβαίαν περὶ ρῖνα αὐτοῦ;
