King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
1ΟΥ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ ἄκουσον, Ἰώβ, τὰ ρήματά μου καὶ λαλιὰν ἐνωτίζου μου·
2Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
2ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἤνοιξα τὸ στόμα μου, καὶ ἐλάλησεν ἡ γλῶσσά μου.
3My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
3καθαρά μου ἡ καρδία ρήμασι, σύνεσις δὲ χειλέων μου καθαρὰ νοήσει.
4The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
4πνεῦμα θεῖον τὸ ποιῆσάν με, πνοὴ δὲ Παντοκράτορος ἡ διδάσκουσά με.
5If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.
5ἐὰν δύνῃ, δός μοι ἀπόκρισιν πρὸς ταῦτα· ὑπόμεινον, στῆθι κατ᾿ ἐμὲ καὶ ἐγὼ κατὰ σέ.
6Behold, I am according to thy wish in God’s stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
6ἐκ πηλοῦ διήρτισαι σὺ ὡς καὶ ἐγώ, ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ διηρτίσμεθα.
7Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
7οὐχ ὁ φόβος μού σε στροβήσει, οὐδὲ ἡ χείρ μου βαρεῖα ἔσται ἐπὶ σοί.
8Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying ,
8πλὴν εἶπας ἐν ὠσί μου, φωνὴν ρημάτων σου ἀκήκοα,
9I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
9διότι λέγεις· καθαρός εἰμι οὐχ ἁμαρτών, ἄμεμπτός εἰμι, οὐ γὰρ ἠνόμησα.
10Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,
10μέμψιν δὲ κατ᾿ ἐμοῦ εὗρεν, ἥγηται δέ με ὥσπερ ὑπεναντίον·
11He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
11ἔθετο δὲ ἐν ξύλῳ τὸν πόδα μου, ἐφύλαξε δέ μου πάσας τὰς ὁδούς·
12Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
12πῶς γὰρ λέγεις· δίκαιός εἰμι, καὶ οὐκ ἐπακήκοέ μου; αἰώνιος γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἐπάνω βροτῶν.
13Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
13λέγεις δέ· διατί τῆς δίκης μου οὐκ ἐπακήκοέ μου πᾶν ρῆμα;
14For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
14ἐν γὰρ τῷ ἅπαξ λαλῆσαι ὁ Κύριος, ἐν δὲ τῷ δευτέρῳ
15In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
15ἐνύπνιον, ἢ ἐν μελέτῃ νυκτερινῇ, ὡς ὅταν ἐπιπίπτῃ δεινὸς φόβος ἐπ᾿ ἀνθρώπους ἐπὶ νυσταγμάτων ἐπὶ κοίτης.
16Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
16τότε ἀνακαλύπτει νοῦν ἀνθρώπων, ἐν εἴδεσι φόβου τοιούτοις αὐτοὺς ἐξεφόβησεν
17That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
17ἀποστρέψαι ἄνθρωπον ἀπὸ ἀδικίας, τὸ δὲ σῶμα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ πτώματος ἐρρύσατο.
18He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
18ἐφείσατο δὲ τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ θανάτου καὶ μὴ πεσεῖν αὐτὸν ἐν πολέμῳ.
19He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
19πάλιν δὲ ἤλεγξεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ μαλακίᾳ ἐπὶ κοίτης καὶ πλῆθος ὀστῶν αὐτοῦ ἐνάρκησε·
20So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
20πᾶν δὲ βρωτὸν σίτου οὐ μὴ δύνηται προσδέξασθαι καὶ ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ βρῶσιν ἐπιθυμήσει,
21His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
21ἕως ἂν σαπῶσιν αὐτοῦ αἱ σάρκες καὶ ἀποδείξῃ τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ κενά·
22Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.
22ἤγγισε δὲ εἰς θάνατον ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ, ἡ δὲ ζωὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν ᾅδη.
23If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:
23ἐὰν ὦσι χίλιοι ἄγγελοι θανατηφόροι, εἷς αὐτῶν οὐ μὴ τρώσῃ αὐτόν· ἐὰν νοήσῃ τῇ καρδίᾳ ἐπιστραφῆναι πρὸς Κύριον, ἀναγγείλῃ δὲ ἀνθρώπῳ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ μέμψιν, τὴν δὲ ἄνοιαν αὐτοῦ δείξῃ,
24Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
24ἀνθέξεται τοῦ μὴ πεσεῖν εἰς θάνατον, ἀνανεώσει δὲ αὐτοῦ τὸ σῶμα ὥσπερ ἀλοιφὴν ἐπὶ τοίχου, τὰ δὲ ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ ἐμπλήσει μυελοῦ·
25His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s: he shall return to the days of his youth:
25ἁπαλυνεῖ δὲ αὐτοῦ τὰς σάρκας ὥσπερ νηπίου, ἀποκαταστήσει δὲ αὐτὸν ἀνδρωθέντα ἐν ἀνθρώποις.
26He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
26εὐξάμενος δὲ πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ δεκτὰ αὐτῷ ἔσται, εἰσελεύσεται προσώπῳ ἱλαρῷ σὺν ἐξηγορίᾳ· ἀποδώσει δὲ ἀνθρώποις δικαιοσύνην.
27He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
27εἶτα τότε ἀπομέμψεται ἄνθρωπος αὐτὸς ἑαυτῷ λέγον· οἷα συνετέλουν καὶ οὐκ ἄξια ἤτασέ με ὧν ἥμαρτον.
28He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
28σῶσον ψυχήν μου τοῦ μὴ ἐλθεῖν εἰς διαφθοράν, καὶ ἡ ζωή μου φῶς ὄψεται.
29Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,
29ἰδοὺ ταῦτα πάντα ἐργᾶται ὁ ἰσχυρὸς ὁδοὺς τρεῖς μετὰ ἀνδρός.
30To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.
30καὶ ἐρρύσατο τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ θανάτου, ἵνα ἡ ζωή μου ἐν φωτὶ αἰνῇ αὐτόν.
31Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.
31ἐνωτίζου, Ἰώβ, καὶ ἄκουέ μου· κώφευσον, καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι λαλήσω.
32If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.
32εἰ εἰσί σοι λόγοι, ἀποκρίθητί μοι· λάλησον, θέλω γὰρ δικαιωθῆναί σε.
33If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
33εἰ μή, σὺ ἄκουσόν μου· κώφευσον καὶ διδάξω σε σοφίαν.
