Job 19
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Then Job answered and said,
1Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἰὼβ, λέγει,
2How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
2Ἕως τίνος ἔγκοπον ποιήσετε ψυχήν μου, καὶ καθαιρεῖτέ με λόγοις; γνῶτε μόνον ὅτι ὁ Κύριος ἐποίησέ με οὕτως.
3These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.
3Καταλαλεῖτέ μου, οὐκ αἰσχυνόμενοί με ἐπίκεισθέ μοι.
4And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
4Ναὶ δὴ ἐπʼ ἀληθείας ἐγὼ ἐπλανήθην, παρʼ ἐμοὶ δὲ αὐλίζεται πλάνος· λαλῆσαι ῥῆματα ἃ οὐκ ἔδει, τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
5If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:
5Ἔα δὲ, ὅτι ἐπʼ ἐμοὶ μεγαλύνεσθε, ἐνάλλεσθε δέ μοι ὀνείδει.
6Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.
6Γνῶτε οὖν ὅτι Κύριός ἐστιν ὁ ταράξας, ὀχύρωμα δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ὕψωσεν.
7Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
7Ἰδοὺ γελῶ ὀνείδει, οὐ λαλήσω· κεκράξομαι, καὶ οὐδαμοῦ κρίμα.
8He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
8Κύκλῳ περιῳκοδόμημαι, καὶ οὐ μὴ διαβῶ· ἐπὶ πρόσωπόν μου σκότος ἔθετο.
9He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
9Τὴν δὲ δόξαν ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ ἐξέδυσεν, ἀφεῖλε δὲ στέφανον ἀπὸ κεφαλῆς μου.
10He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.
10Διέσπασέ με κύκλῳ καὶ ᾠχόμην, ἐξέκοψε δὲ ὥσπερ δένδρον τὴν ἐλπίδα μου.
11He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.
11Δεινῶς δέ μοι ὀργῇ ἐχρήσατο, ἡγήσατο δέ με ὥσπερ ἐχθρόν.
12His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.
12Ὁμοθυμαδὸν δὲ ἦλθον τὰ πειρατήρια αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ ἐμοὶ, ταῖς ὁδοῖς μου ἐκύκλωσαν ἐγκάθετοι.
13He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
13Ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ ἀδελφοί μου ἀπέστησαν, ἔγνωσαν ἀλλοτρίους ἢ ἐμέ· φίλοι δέ μου ἀνελεήμονες γεγόνασιν·
14My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
14Οὐ προσεποιήσαντό με οἱ ἐγγύτατοί μου, καὶ οἱ εἰδότες μου τὸ ὄνομα ἐπελάθοντό μου.
15They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
15Γείτονες οἰκίας, θεράπαιναί τε μοῦ, ἀλλογενὴς ἤμην ἐναντίον αὐτῶν.
16I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.
16Θεράποντά μου ἐκάλεσα, καὶ οὐχ ὑπήκουσε· στόμα δέ μου ἐδέετο.
17My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children’s sake of mine own body.
17Καὶ ἱκέτευον τὴν γυναῖκά μου, προσεκαλούμην δὲ καλακευων υἱοὺς παλλακίδων μου·
18Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
18Οἱ δὲ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνά με ἀπεποιήσαντο, ὅταν ἀναστῶ, κατʼ ἐμοῦ λαλοῦσιν.
19All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
19Ἐβδελύξαντό με οἱ ἰδόντες με· οὓς δὴ ἠγαπήκειν, ἐπανέστησάν μοι.
20My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
20Ἐν δέρματί μου ἐσάπησαν αἱ σάρκες μου, τὰ δὲ ὀστᾶ μου ἐν ὀδοῦσιν ἔχεται.
21Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
21Ἐλεήσατέ με, ἐλεήσατέ με, ὦ φίλοι, χεὶρ γὰρ Κυρίου ἡ ἁψαμένη μου ἐστί.
22Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
22Διατί με διώκετε ὥσπερ καὶ ὁ Κύριος; ἀπὸ δὲ σαρκῶν μου οὐκ ἐμπίπλασθε;
23Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
23Τίς γὰρ ἂν δοίη γραφῆναι τὰ ῥήματά μου, τεθῆναι δὲ αὐτὰ ἐν βιβλίῳ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα,
24That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
24ἐν γραφείῳ σιδηρῷ καὶ μολίβῳ, ἢ ἐν πέτραις ἐγγλυφῆναι;
25For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
25Οἶδα γὰρ ὅτι ἀένναός ἐστιν ὁ ἐκλύειν με μέλλων,
26And though after my skin worms destroy this body , yet in my flesh shall I see God:
26ἐπὶ γῆς ἀναστῆσαι τὸ δέρμα μου τὸ ἀναντλοῦν ταῦτα· παρὰ γὰρ Κυρίου ταῦτά μοι συνετελέσθη,
27Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
27ἃ ἐγὼ ἐμαυτῷ συνεπίσταμαι, ἃ ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἑώρακε, καὶ οὐκ ἄλλος, πάντα δέ μοι συντετέλεσται ἐν κόλπῳ.
28But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
28Εἰ δὲ καὶ ἐρεῖτε, τί ἐροῦμεν ἔναντι αὐτοῦ, καὶ ῥίζαν λόγου εὑρήσομεν ἐν αὐτῷ;
29Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
29Εὐλαβήθητε δὴ καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀπὸ ἐπικαλύμματος, θυμὸς γὰρ ἐπʼ ἀνόμους ἐπελεύσεται· καὶ τότε γνώσονται, ποῦ ἐστιν αὐτῶν ἡ ὕλη
