Job 5
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?
1Ἐπικαλέσαι δὲ εἴ τις σοι ὑπακούσεται, ἢ εἴ τινα ἀγγέλων ἁγίων ὄψῃ·
2For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
2Καὶ γὰρ ἄφρονα ἀναιρεῖ ὀργὴ, πεπλανημένον δὲ θανατοῖ ζῆλος.
3I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
3Ἐγὼ δὲ ἑώρακα ἄφρονας ῥίζαν βάλλοντας, ἀλλʼ εὐθέως ἐβρώθη αὐτῶν ἡ δίαιτα.
4His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them .
4Πόῤῥω γένοιντο οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν ἀπὸ σωτηρίας, κολαβρισθείησαν δὲ ἐπὶ θύραις ἡσσόνων, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ ἐξαιρούμενος.
5Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
5Ἃ γὰρ ἐκεῖνοι συνήγαγον, δίκαιοι ἔδονται, αὐτοὶ δὲ ἐκ κακῶν οὐκ ἐξαίρετοι ἔσονται· ἐκσιφωνισθείη αὐτῶν ἡ ἰσχύς.
6Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
6Οὐ γὰρ μὴ ἐξέλθῃ ἐκ τῆς γῆς κόπος, οὐδὲ ἐξ ὀρέων ἀναβλαστήσει πόνος.
7Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
7Ἀλλὰ ἄνθρωπος γεννᾶται κόπῳ, νεοσσοὶ δὲ γυπὸς τὰ ὑψηλὰ πέτονται.
8I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
8Οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ ἐγὼ δεηθήσομαι Κυρίου, Κύριον δὲ τὸν πάντων δεσπότην ἐπικαλέσομαι,
9Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
9τὸν ποιοῦντα μεγάλα καὶ ἀνεξιχνίαστα, ἔνδοξά τε καὶ ἐξαίσια, ὧν οὐκ ἔστιν ἀριθμὸς,
10Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
10τὸν διδόντα ὑετὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, ἀποστέλλοντα ὕδωρ ἐπὶ τὴν ὑπʼ οὐρανὸν,
11To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
11τὸν ποιοῦντα ταπεινοὺς εἰς ὕψος, καὶ ἀπολωλότας ἐξεγείροντα,
12He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
12διαλλάσσοντα βουλὰς πανούργων, καὶ οὐ μὴ ποιήσουσιν αἱ χεῖρες αὐτῶν ἀληθές·
13He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
13ὁ καταλαμβάνων σοφοὺς ἐν τῇ φρονήσει, βουλὴν δὲ πολυπλόκων ἐξέστησεν.
14They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
14Ἡμέρας συναντήσεται αὐτοῖς σκότος, τὸ δὲ μεσημβρινὸν ψηλαφήσαισαν ἶσα νυκτὶ,
15But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
15ἀπόλοιντο δὲ ἐν πολέμῳ· ἀδύνατος δὲ ἐξέλθοι ἐκ χειρὸς δυνάστου.
16So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
16Εἴη δὲ ἀδυνάτῳ ἐλπὶς, ἀδίκου δὲ στόμα ἐμφραχθείη.
17Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
17Μακάριος δὲ ἄνθρωπος ὃν ἤλεγξεν ὁ Κύριος, νουθέτημα δὲ παντοκράτορος μὴ ἀπαναίνου.
18For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
18Αὐτὸς γὰρ ἀλγεῖν ποιεῖ, καὶ πάλιν ἀποκαθίστησιν· ἔπαισε, καὶ αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ἰάσαντο.
19He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
19Ἑξάκις ἐξ ἀναγκῶν σε ἐξελεῖται, ἐν δὲ τῷ ἑβδόμῳ οὐ μὴ ἅψηταί σου κακόν.
20In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
20Ἐν λιμῷ ῥύσεταί σε ἐκ θανάτου, ἐν πολέμῳ δὲ ἐκ χειρὸς σιδήρου λύσει σε.
21Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
21Ἀπὸ μάστιγος γλώσσης σε κρύψει, καὶ οὐ μὴ φοβηθῇς ἀπὸ κακῶν ἐρχομένων.
22At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
22Ἀδίκων καὶ ἀνόμων καταγελάσῃ· ἀπὸ δὲ θηρίων ἀγρίων οὐ μὴ φοβηθῇς·
23For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
23Θῆρες γὰρ ἄγριοι εἰρηνεύσουσί σοι.
24And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
24Εἶτα γνώσῃ ὅτι εἰρηνεύσει σου ὁ οἶκος· ἡ δὲ δίαιτα τῆς σκηνῆς σου οὐ μὴ ἁμάρτῃ.
25Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
25Γνώσῃ δὲ ὅτι πολὺ τὸ σπέρμα σου, τὰ δὲ τέκνα σου ἔσται ὥσπερ τὸ παμβότανον τοῦ ἀγροῦ.
26Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.
26Ἐλεύσῃ δὲ ἐν τάφῳ ὥσπερ σῖτος ὥριμος κατὰ καιρὸν θεριζόμενος, ἢ ὥσπερ θιμωνία ἅλωνος καθʼ ὥραν συγκομισθεῖσα.
27Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
27Ἰδοὺ ταῦτα οὕτως ἐξιχνιάσαμεν· ταῦτά ἐστιν ἃ ἀκηκόαμεν· σὺ δὲ γνῶθι σεαυτῷ, εἴ τι ἔπραξας.
