Job 15
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
1Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἐλιφὰζ ὁ Θαιμανίτης, λέγει,
2Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
2Πότερον σοφὸς ἀπόκρισιν δώσει συνέσεως πνεῦμα, καὶ ἐνέπλησε πόνον γαστρὸς,
3Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
3ἐλέγχων ἐν ῥήμασιν οἷς οὐ δεῖ, καὶ ἐν λόγοις οἷς οὐδὲν ὄφελος;
4Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
4Οὐ καὶ σὺ ἀπεποιήσω φόβον, συνετελέσω δὲ ῥήματα τοιαῦτα ἔναντι τοῦ Κυρίου;
5For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
5Ἔνοχος εἶ ῥήμασι στόματός σου, οὐδὲ διέκρινας ῥήματα δυναστῶν.
6Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
6Ἐλέγξαι σε τὸ σὸν στόμα καὶ μὴ ἐγὼ, τὰ δὲ χείλη σου καταμαρτυρήσουσι σου.
7Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
7Τί γάρ; μὴ πρῶτος ἀνθρώπων ἐγεννήθης; ἢ πρὸ θινῶν ἐπάγης;
8Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
8Ἢ σύνταγμα Κυρίου ἀκήκοας; ἢ συμβούλῳ σοι ἐχρήσατο ὁ Θεός; εἰς δέ σε ἀφίκετο σοφία;
9What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?
9Τί γὰρ οἶδας, ὃ οὐκ οἴδαμεν; ἢ τί συνίεις σὺ, ὃ οὐ καὶ ἡμεῖς;
10With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.
10Καί γε πρεσβύτης καί γε παλαιὸς ἐν ἡμῖν, βαρύτερος τοῦ πατρός σου ἡμέραις.
11Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
11Ὀλίγα ὧν ἡμάρτηκας μεμαστίγωσαι, μεγάλως ὑπερβαλλόντως λελάληκας.
12Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
12Τί ἐτόλμησεν ἡ καρδία σου; ἢ τί ἐπήνεγκαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου,
13That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?
13ὅτι θυμὸν ἔῤῥηξας ἔναντι Κυρίου, ἐξήγαγες δὲ ἐκ στόματος ῥήματα τοιαῦτα;
14What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
14Τίς γὰρ ὢν βροτὸς, ὅτι ἔσται ἅμεμπτος; ἢ ὡς ἐσόμενος δίκαιος γεννητὸς γυναικός;
15Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
15Εἰ κατὰ ἁγίων οὐ πιστεύει, οὐρανὸς δὲ οὐ καθαρὸς ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ.
16How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
16Ἔα δὲ ἐβδελυγμένος καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἀνὴρ, πίνων ἀδικίας ἶσα ποτῷ.
17I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
17Ἀναγγελῶ δέ σοι, ἄκουέ μου, ἃ δὴ ἑώρακα, ἀναγγελῶ σοι,
18Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
18ἃ σοφοὶ ἐροῦσι, καὶ οὐκ ἔκρυψαν πατέρες αὐτῶν.
19Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
19Αὐτοῖς μόνοις ἐδόθη ἡ γῆ, καὶ οὐκ ἐπῆλθεν ἀλλογενὴς ἐπʼ αὐτούς.
20The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
20Πᾶς ὁ βίος ἀσεβοῦς ἐν φροντίδι, ἔτη δὲ ἀριθμητὰ δεδομένα δυνάστῃ.
21A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
21Ὁ δὲ φόβος αὐτοῦ ἐν ὠσὶν αὐτοῦ· ὅταν δοκῇ ἤδη εἰρηνεύειν, ἥξει αὐτοῦ ἡ καταστροφή.
22He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
22Μὴ πιστευέτω ἀποστραφῆναι ἀπὸ σκότους, ἐντέταλται γὰρ ἤδη εἰς χεῖρας σιδήρου,
23He wandereth abroad for bread, saying , Where is it ? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
23κατατέτακται δὲ εἰς σῖτα γυψίν· οἶδε δὲ ἐν ἑαυτῷ ὅτι μένει εἰς πτῶμα· ἡμέρα δὲ σκοτεινὴ αὐτὸν στροβήσει,
24Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
24ἀνάγκη δὲ καὶ θλίψις αὐτὸν καθέξει, ὥσπερ στρατηγὸς πρωτοστάτης πίπτων·
25For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
25Ὅτι ᾖρκε χεῖρας ἐναντίον τοῦ Κυρίου, ἔναντι δὲ Κυρίου παντοκράτορος ἐτραχηλίασεν.
26He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
26Ἔδραμε δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ὕβρει, ἐν πάχει νώτου ἀσπίδος αὐτοῦ.
27Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.
27Ὅτι ἐκάλυψε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐν στέατι αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐποίησε περιστόμιον ἐπὶ τῶν μηρίων.
28And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
28Αὐλισθείη δὲ πόλεις ἐρήμους, εἰσέλθοι δὲ εἰς οἴκους ἀοικήτους· ἃ δὲ ἐκεῖνοι ἡτοίμασαν, ἄλλοι ἀποίσονται.
29He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.
29Οὔτε μὴ πλουτισθῇ, οὔτε μὴ μείνῃ αὐτοῦ τὰ ὑπάρχοντα· οὐ μὴ βάλῃ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν σκιὰν,
30He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
30οὐδὲ μὴ ἐκφύγῃ τὸ σκότος· τὸν βλαστὸν αὐτοῦ μαράναι ἄνεμος, ἐκπέσοι δὲ αὐτοῦ τὸ ἄνθος.
31Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.
31Μὴ πιστευέτω ὅτι ὑπομενεῖ, κενὰ γὰρ ἀποβήσεται αὐτῷ.
32It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
32Ἡ τομὴ αὐτοῦ πρὸ ὥρας φθαρήσεται, καὶ ὁ ῥάδαμνος αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ πυκάσῃ.
33He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
33Τρυγηθείη δὲ ὡς ὄμφαξ πρὸ ὥρας, ἐκπέσοι δὲ ὡς ἄνθος ἐλαίας.
34For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
34Μαρτύριον γὰρ ἀσεβοῦς θάνατος· πῦρ δὲ καύσει οἴκους δωροδεκτῶν·
35They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
35Ἐν γαστρὶ δὲ λήψεται ὀδύνας, ἀποβήσεται δὲ αὐτῷ κενὰ, ἡ δὲ κοιλία αὐτοῦ ὑποίσει δόλον.
