Job 27
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
1Ἔτι δὲ προσθεὶς Ἰὼβ εἶπεν τῷ προοιμίῳ,
2As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;
2Ζῇ ὁ Θεὸς, ὃς οὕτω με κέκρικε, καὶ ὁ παντοκράτωρ ὁ πικράνας μου τὴν ψυχὴν,
3All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
3εἰ μὴν ἔτι τῆς πνοῆς μου ἐνούσης, πνεῦμα δὲ θεῖον τὸ περιόν μοι ἐν ῥινὶ,
4My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
4μὴ λαλήσειν τὰ χείλη μου ὄνομα, οὐδὲ ἡ ψυχή μου μελετήσει ἄδικα.
5God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
5Μή μοι εἴη δικαίους ὑμᾶς ἀποφῆναι ἕως ἂν ἀποθάνω, οὐ γὰρ ἀπαλλάξω μου τὴν ἀκακίαν μου.
6My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
6Δικαιοσύνῃ δὲ προσέχων οὐ μὴν προῶμαι, οὐ γὰρ σύνοιδα ἐμαυτῷ ἄτοπα πράξας.
7Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
7Οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ εἴησαν οἱ ἐχθροί μου ὥσπερ ἡ καταστροφὴ τῶν ἀσεβῶν, καὶ οἱ ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἐπανιστάμενοι, ὥσπερ ἡ ἀπώλεια τῶν παρανόμων.
8For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
8Καὶ τίς γάρ ἐστιν ἐλπὶς ἀσεβεῖ, ὅτι ἐπέχει; πεποιθὼς ἐπὶ κύριον ἄρα σωθήσεται;
9Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
9Ἢ τὴν δέησιν αὐτοῦ εἰσακούσεται ὁ Θεός; ἢ ἐπελθούσης αὐτῷ ἀνάγκης
10Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
10μὴ ἔχει τινὰ παῤῥησίαν ἔναντι αὐτοῦ; ἢ ὡς ἐπικαλεσαμένου αὐτοῦ εἰσακούσεται αὐτοῦ;
11I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
11Ἀλλὰ δὴ ἀναγγελῶ ὑμῖν τί ἐστιν ἐν χειρὶ Κυρίου, ἅ ἐστι παρὰ παντοκράτορι, οὐ ψεύσομαι.
12Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?
12Ἰδοὺ πάντες οἴδατε, ὅτι κενὰ κενοῖς ἐπιβάλλετε.
13This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
13Αὕτη ἡ μερὶς ἀνθρώπου ἀσεβοῦς παρὰ Κυρίου, κτῆμα δὲ δυναστῶν ἐλεύσεται παρὰ παντοκράτορος ἐπʼ αὐτούς.
14If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
14Ἐὰν δἐ πολλοὶ γένωνται οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν, εἰς σφαγὴν ἔσονται· ἐὰν δὲ καὶ ἀνδρωθῶσι, προσαιτήσουσιν.
15Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
15Οἱ δὲ περιόντες αὐτοῦ ἐν θανάτῳ τελευτήσουσι, χήρας δὲ αὐτῶν οὐδεὶς ἐλεήσει.
16Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
16Ἐὰν συναγάγῃ ὥσπερ γῆν ἀργύριον, ἶσα δὲ πηλῷ ἑτοιμάσῃ χρυσίον,
17He may prepare it , but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
17ταῦτα πάντα δίκαιοι περιποιήσονται, τὰ δὲ χρήματα αὐτοῦ ἀληθινοὶ καθέξουσιν.
18He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
18Ἀπέβη δὲ ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ ὥσπερ σῆτες, καὶ ὥσπερ ἀράχνη.
19The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
19Πλούσιος κοιμηθήσεται καὶ οὐ προσθήσει, ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ διήνοιξε καὶ οὐκ ἔστι.
20Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
20Συνήντησαν αὐτῷ ὥσπερ ὕδωρ αἱ ὀδύναι, νυκτὶ δὲ ὑφείλατο αὐτὸν γνόφος.
21The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
21Ἀναλήψεται δὲ αὐτὸν καύσων καὶ ἀπελεύσεται, καὶ λικμήσει αὐτὸν ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ.
22For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
22Καὶ ἐπιῤῥίψει ἐπʼ αὐτὸν καὶ οὐ φείσεται, ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ φυγῇ φεύξεται.
23Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
23Κροτήσει ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς χεῖρας αὐτῶν, καὶ συριεῖ αὐτὸν ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ.
