King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.
1Νυνὶ δὲ κατεγέλασάν μου ἐλάχιστοι, νῦν νουθετοῦσί με ἐν μέρει, ὧν ἐξουδένουν τοὺς πατέρας αὐτῶν, οὓς οὐχ ἡγησάμην ἀξίους κυνῶν τῶν ἐμῶν νομάδων.
2Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?
2Καί γε ἰσχὺς χειρῶν αὐτῶν ἱνατί μοι; ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ἀπώλετο συντέλεια.
3For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.
3Ἐν ἐνδείᾳ καὶ λιμῷ ἄγονος, οἱ φεύγοντες ἄνυδρον ἐχθὲς συνοχὴν καὶ ταλαιπωρίαν.
4Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.
4Οἱ περικυκλοῦντες ἄλιμα ἐπὶ ἠχοῦντι, οἵτινες ἄλιμα ἦν αὐτῶν τὰ σῖτα, ἄτιμοι δὲ καὶ πεφαυλισμένοι, ἐνδεεῖς παντὸς ἀγαθοῦ, οἳ καὶ ῥὶζας ξύλων ἐμασσῶντο ὑπὸ λιμοῦ μεγάλου.
5They were driven forth from among men , (they cried after them as after a thief;)
5Ἐπανέστησάν μοι κλέπται,
6To dwell in the clifts of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.
6ὧν οἱ οἶκοι αὐτῶν ἦσαν τρῶγλαι πετρῶν·
7Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.
7Ἀναμέσον εὐήχων βοήσονται οἳ ὑπὸ φρύγανα ἄγρια διῃτῶντο.
8They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.
8Ἀφρόνων υἱοὶ καὶ ἀτίμων, ὄνομα καὶ κλέος ἐσβεσμένον ἀπὸ γῆς.
9And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.
9Νυνὶ δὲ κιθάρα ἐγώ εἰμι αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐμὲ θρύλλημα ἔχουσιν.
10They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.
10Ἐβδελύξαντο δέ με ἀποστάντες μακρὰν, ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ προσώπου μου οὐκ ἐφείσαντο πτύελον.
11Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.
11Ἀνοίξας γὰρ φαρέτραν αὐτοῦ ἐκάκωσέ με, καὶ χαλινὸν τοῦ προσώπου μου ἐξαπέστειλεν.
12Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.
12Ἐπὶ δεξιῶν βλαστοῦ ἐπανέστησαν, πόδα αὐτῶν ἐξέτειναν, καὶ ὡδοποίησαν ἐπʼ ἐμὲ· τρίβους ἀπωλείας αὐτῶν.
13They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.
13Ἐξετρίβησαν τρίβοι μου, ἐξέδυσαν γάρ μου τὴν στολήν·
14They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me .
14βέλεσιν αὐτοῦ κατηκόντισέ με. Κέκριται δέ μοι ὡς βούλεται, ἐν ὀδύναις πέφυρμαι.
15Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.
15Ἐπιστρέφονταί μου αἱ ὀδύναι, ᾤχετό μου ἡ ἐλπὶς ὥσπερ πνεῦμα, καὶ ὥσπερ νέφος ἡ σωτηρία μου.
16And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
16Καὶ νῦν ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἐκχυθήσεται ἡ ψυχή μου, ἔχουσιν δέ με ἡμέραι ὀδυνῶν.
17My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.
17Νυκτὶ δέ μου τὰ ὀστᾶ συγκέχυται, τὰ δὲ νεῦρά μου διαλέλυται.
18By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.
18Ἐν πολλῇ ἰσχύϊ ἐπελάβετό μου τῆς στολῆς, ὥσπερ τὸ περιστόμιον τοῦ χιτῶνός μου περιέσχε με.
19He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.
19Ἥγησαι δέ με ἴσα πηλῷ, ἐν γῇ καὶ σποδῷ μου ἡ μερίς.
20I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not .
20Κέκραγα δὲ πρὸς σὲ καὶ οὐκ ἀκούεις μου, ἔστησαν δὲ καὶ κατενόησάν με.
21Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.
21Ἐπέβησαν δέ μοι ἀνελεημόνως, χειρὶ κραταιᾷ με ἐμαστίγωσας.
22Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it , and dissolvest my substance.
22Ἔταξας δέ με ἐν ὀδύναις, καὶ ἀπέῤῥιψάς με ἀπὸ σωτηρίας.
23For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.
23Οἶδα γὰρ ὅτι θάνατός με ἐκτρίψει, οἰκία γὰρ παντὶ θνητῷ γῆ.
24Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.
24Εἰ γὰρ ὄφελον δυναίμην ἐμαυτὸν χειρώσασθαι, ἢ δεηθείς γε ἑτέρου, καὶ ποιήσει μοι τοῦτο.
25Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?
25Ἐγὼ δὲ ἐπὶ παντὶ ἀδυνάτῳ ἔκλαυσα, ἐστέναξα ἰδὼν ἄνδρα ἐν ἀνάγκαις·
26When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.
26ἐγὼ δὲ ἐπέχων ἀγαθοῖς, ἰδοὺ συνήντησάν μοι μᾶλλον ἡμέραι κακῶν.
27My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.
27Ἡ κοιλία μου ἐξέζεσε καὶ οὐ σιωπήσεται, προέφθασάν με ἡμέραι πτωχείας.
28I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.
28Στένων πεπόρευμαι ἄνευ φιμοῦ, ἕστηκα δὲ ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ κεκραγώς.
29I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.
29Ἀδελφὸς γέγονα σειρήνων, ἑταῖρος δὲ στρουθῶν.
30My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.
30Τὸ δὲ δέρμα μου ἐσκότωται μεγάλως, τὰ δὲ ὀστᾶ μου ἀπὸ καύματος.
31My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.
31Ἀπέβη δὲ εἰς πένθος μου ἡ κιθάρα, ὁ δὲ ψαλμός μου εἰς κλαυθμὸν ἐμοί.
