Job 13
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Lo, mine eye hath seen all this , mine ear hath heard and understood it.
1Ἰδοὺ ταῦτα ἑώρακέ μου ὁ ὀφθαλμὸς, καὶ ἀκήκοέ μου τὸ οὖς.
2What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.
2Καὶ οἶδα ὅσα καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐπίστασθε, καὶ οὐκ ἀσυνετώτερός εἰμι ὑμῶν.
3Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
3Οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλʼ ἐγὼ πρὸς Κύριον λαλήσω, ἐλέγξω δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ἐὰν βούληται.
4But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
4Ὑμεῖς δὲ ἐστὲ ἰατροὶ ἄδικοι, καὶ ἰαταὶ κακῶν πάντες.
5O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.
5Εἴη δὲ ὑμῖν κωφεῦσαι, καὶ ἀποβήσεται ὑμῖν σοφία.
6Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
6Ἀκούσατε δὲ ἔλεγχον τοῦ στόματός μου, κρίσιν δὲ χειλέων μου προσέχετε.
7Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
7Πότερον οὐκ ἔναντι Κυρίου λαλεῖτε, ἔναντι δὲ αὐτοῦ φθέγγεσθε δόλον;
8Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
8Ἢ ὑποστελεῖσθε; ὑμεῖς δὲ αὐτοὶ κριταὶ γίνεσθε.
9Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?
9Καλὸν γὰρ ἐὰν ἐξιχνιάσῃ ὑμᾶς, εἰ γὰρ τὰ πάντα ποιοῦντες προστεθήσεσθε αὐτῷ,
10He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
10οὐθὲν ἧττον ἐλέγξει ὑμᾶς· εἰ δὲ καὶ κρυφῇ πρόσωπα θαυμάσεσθε,
11Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?
11πότερον οὐχ ἡ δῖνα αὐτοῦ στροβήσει ὑμᾶς; ὁ φόβος δὲ παρʼ αὐτοῦ ἐπιπεσεῖται ὑμῖν,
12Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
12ἀποβήσεται δὲ ὑμῶν τὸ γαυρίαμα ἶσα σποδῷ, τὸ δὲ σῶμα πήλινον.
13Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will .
13Κωφεύσατε ἵνα λαλήσω, καὶ ἀναπαύσωμαι θυμοῦ,
14Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?
14ἀναλαβὼν τὰς σάρκας μου τοῖς ὀδοῦσι, ψυχὴν δέ μου θήσω ἐν χειρί.
15Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
15Ἐάν με χειρώσηται ὁ δυνάστης, ἐπεὶ καὶ ἦρκται, ἦ μὴν λαλήσω καὶ ἐλέγξω ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ·
16He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
16Καὶ τοῦτό μοι ἀποβήσεται εἰς σωτηρίαν, οὐ γὰρ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ δόλος εἰσελεύσεται.
17Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
17Ἀκούσατε ἀκούσατε τὰ ῥήματά μου, ἀναγγελῶ γὰρ ὑμῶν ἀκουόντων.
18Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
18Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐγγύς εἰμι τοῦ κρίματός μου, οἶδα ἐγὼ ὅτι δίκαιος ἀναφανοῦμαι.
19Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
19Τίς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ κριθησόμενός μοι, ὅτι νῦν κωφεύσω καὶ ἐκλείψω;
20Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.
20Δυεῖν δέ μοι χρήσῃ, τότε ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου σου οὐ κρυβήσομαι.
21Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.
21Τὴν χεῖρα ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ ἀπέχου, καὶ ὁ φόβος σου μή με καταπλησσέτω.
22Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.
22Εἶτα καλέσεις, ἐγὼ δέ σοι ὑπακούσομαι, ἢ λαλήσεις, ἐγὼ δέ σοι δώσω ἀνταπόκρισιν·
23How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.
23Πόσαι εἰσὶν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι μου καὶ ἀνομίαι μου; δίδαξόν με τίνες εἰσί.
24Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?
24Διατί ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ κρύπτῃ, ἥγησαι δέ με ὑπεναντίον σοι;
25Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
25Ἢ ὡς φῦλλον κινούμενον ὑπὸ ἀνέμου εὐλαβηθήσῃ, ἢ ὡς χόρτῳ φερομένῳ ὑπὸ πνεύματος ἀντίκεισαί μοι;
26For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
26Ὅτι κατέγραψας κατʼ ἐμοῦ κακὰ, περιέθηκας δέ μοι νεότητος ἁμαρτίας.
27Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.
27Ἔθου δέ μου τὸν πόδα ἐν κωλύματι, ἐφύλαξας δέ μου πάντα τὰ ἔργα, εἰς δὲ ῥίζας τῶν ποδῶν μου ἀφίκου.
28And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.
28Ὃ παλαιοῦται ἶσα ἀσκῷ, ἢ ὥσπερ ἱμάτιον σητόβρωτον.
