King James Version with Apocrypha
1ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ Βαλδὰδ ὁ Σαυχίτης λέγει·
1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2μέχρι τίνος λαλήσεις ταῦτα, πνεῦμα πολυρρῆμον τοῦ στόματός σου;
2How long wilt thou speak these things ? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?
3μὴ ὁ Κύριος ἀδικήσει κρίνων ἢ ὁ τὰ πάντα ποιήσας ταράξει τὸ δίκαιον;
3Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
4εἰ οἱ υἱοί σου ἥμαρτον ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ, ἀπέστειλεν ἐν χειρὶ ἀνομίας αὐτῶν.
4If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;
5σὺ δὲ ὄρθριζε πρὸς Κύριον παντοκράτορα δεόμενος.
5If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
6εἰ καθαρὸς εἶ καὶ ἀληθινός, δεήσεως ἐπακούσεταί σου, ἀποκαταστήσει δέ σοι δίαιταν δικαιοσύνης·
6If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
7ἔσται οὖν τὰ μὲν πρῶτά σου ὀλίγα, τὰ δὲ ἔσχατά σου ἀμύθητα.
7Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
8ἐπερώτησον γὰρ γενεὰν πρώτην, ἐξιχνίασον δὲ κατὰ γένος πατέρων·
8For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
9χθιζοὶ γάρ ἐσμεν καὶ οὐκ οἴδαμεν, σκιὰ γάρ ἐστιν ἡμῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὁ βίος.
9(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)
10ἦ οὐχ οὗτοί σε διδάξουσι καὶ ἀναγγελοῦσι καὶ ἐκ καρδίας ἐξάξουσι ρήματα;
10Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
11μὴ θάλλει πάπυρος ἄνευ ὕδατος ἢ ὑψωθήσεται βούτομον ἄνευ πότου;
11Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
12ἔτι ὂν ἐπὶ ρίζης καὶ οὐ μὴ θερισθῇ, πρὸ τοῦ πιεῖν πᾶσα βοτάνη οὐχὶ ξηραίνεται;
12Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.
13οὕτως τοίνυν ἔσται τὰ ἔσχατα πάντων τῶν ἐπιλανθανομένων τοῦ Κυρίου· ἐλπὶς γὰρ ἀσεβοῦς ἀπολεῖται.
13So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite’s hope shall perish:
14ἀοίκητος γὰρ αὐτοῦ ἔσται ὁ οἶκος, ἀράχνη δὲ αὐτοῦ ἀποβήσεται ἡ σκηνή.
14Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider’s web.
15ἐὰν ὑπερείσῃ τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ, οὐ μὴ στῇ· ἐπιλαβομένου δὲ αὐτοῦ, οὐ μὴ ὑπομείνῃ·
15He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
16ὑγρὸς γάρ ἐστιν ὑπὸ ἡλίου, καὶ ἐκ σαπρίας αὐτοῦ ὁ ράδαμνος αὐτοῦ ἐξελεύσεται.
16He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.
17ἐπὶ συναγωγὴν λίθων κοιμᾶται, ἐν δὲ μέσῳ χαλίκων ζήσεται.
17His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.
18ἐὰν καταπίῃ, ὁ τόπος ψεύσεται αὐτόν· οὐχ ἑώρακας τοιαῦτα,
18If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying , I have not seen thee.
19ὅτι καταστροφὴ ἀσεβοῦς τοιαύτη, ἐκ δὲ γῆς ἄλλον ἀναβλαστήσει.
19Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
20ὁ γὰρ Κύριος οὐ μὴ ἀποποιήσεται τὸν ἄκακον, πᾶν δὲ δῶρον ἀσεβοῦς οὐ δέξεται.
20Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man , neither will he help the evil doers:
21ἀληθινῶν δὲ στόμα ἐμπλήσει γέλωτος, τὰ δὲ χείλη αὐτῶν ἐξομολογήσεως·
21Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.
22οἱ δὲ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῶν ἐνδύσονται αἰσχύνην, δίαιτα δὲ ἀσεβοῦς οὐκ ἔσται.
22They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.
