Job 14
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
1ΒΡΟΤΟΣ γὰρ γεννητὸς γυναικὸς ὀλιγόβιος καὶ πλήρης ὀργῆς
2He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
2ἢ ὥσπερ ἄνθος ἀνθῆσαν ἐξέπεσεν, ἀπέδρα δὲ ὥσπερ σκιὰ καὶ οὐ μὴ στῇ.
3And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
3οὐχὶ καὶ τούτου λόγον ἐποιήσω καὶ τοῦτον ἐποίησας εἰσελθεῖν ἐν κρίματι ἐνώπιόν σου;
4Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
4τίς γὰρ καθαρὸς ἔσται ἀπὸ ρύπου; ἀλλ᾿ οὐθείς,
5Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
5ἐὰν καὶ μία ἡμέρα ὁ βίος αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἀριθμητοὶ δὲ μῆνες αὐτοῦ παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ· εἰς χρόνον ἔθου, καὶ οὐ μὴ ὑπερβῇ.
6Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.
6ἀπόστα ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ, ἵνα ἡσυχάσῃ καὶ εὐδοκήσῃ τὸν βίον ὥσπερ ὁ μισθωτός.
7For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
7ἔστι γὰρ δένδρῳ ἐλπίς· ἐὰν γὰρ ἐκκοπῇ, ἔτι ἐπανθήσει, καὶ ὁ ράδαμνος αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ ἐκλίπῃ·
8Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
8ἐὰν γὰρ γηράσῃ ἐν γῇ ἡ ρίζα αὐτοῦ, ἐν δὲ πέτρᾳ τελευτήσῃ τὸ στέλεχος αὐτοῦ,
9Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
9ἀπὸ ὀσμῆς ὕδατος ἀνθήσει, ποιήσει δὲ θερισμὸν ὥσπερ νεόφυτον.
10But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
10ἀνὴρ δὲ τελευτήσας ᾤχετο, πεσὼν δὲ βροτὸς οὐκέτι ἐστί·
11As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
11χρόνῳ γὰρ σπανίζεται θάλασσα, ποταμὸς δὲ ἐρημωθεὶς ἐξηράνθη·
12So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
12ἄνθρωπος δὲ κοιμηθεὶς οὐ μὴ ἀναστῇ, ἕως ἂν ὁ οὐρανὸς οὐ μὴ συρραφῇ· καὶ οὐκ ἐξυπνισθήσονται ἐξ ὕπνου αὐτῶν.
13O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
13εἰ γὰρ ὄφελον ἐν ᾅδῃ με ἐφύλαξας, ἔκρυψας δέ με ἕως ἂν παύσηταί σου ἡ ὀργὴ καὶ τάξῃ μοι χρόνον, ἐν ᾧ μνείαν μου ποιήσῃ·
14If a man die, shall he live again ? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
14ἐὰν γὰρ ἀποθάνῃ ἄνθρωπος, ζήσεται συντελέσας ἡμέρας τοῦ βίου αὐτοῦ· ὑπομενῶ ἕως ἂν πάλιν γένωμαι.
15Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
15εἶτα καλέσεις, ἐγὼ δέ σοι ὑπακούσομαι, τὰ δὲ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν σου μὴ ἀποποιοῦ.
16For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
16ἠρίθμησας δέ μου τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα, καὶ οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ σε οὐδὲν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν μου·
17My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.
17ἐσφράγισας δέ μου τὰς ἀνομίας ἐν βαλλαντίῳ, ἐπεσημήνω δέ, εἴ τι ἄκρων παρέβην.
18And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.
18καὶ πλὴν ὄρος πῖπτον διαπεσεῖται, καὶ πέτρα παλαιωθήσεται ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτῆς.
19The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.
19λίθους ἐλέαναν ὕδατα, καὶ κατέκλυσεν ὕδατα ὕπτια τοῦ χώματος τῆς γῆς· καὶ ὑπομονὴν ἀνθρώπου ἀπώλεσας.
20Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
20ὦσας αὐτὸν εἰς τέλος, καὶ ᾤχετο· ἐπέστησας αὐτῷ τὸ πρόσωπον, καὶ ἐξαπέστειλας·
21His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
21πολλῶν δὲ γενομένων τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ, οὐκ οἶδεν, ἐὰν δὲ ὀλίγοι γένωνται, οὐκ ἐπίσταται·
22But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
22ἀλλ᾿ ἢ αἱ σάρκες αὐτοῦ ἤλγησαν, ἡ δὲ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐπένθησεν.
