JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Ἔτι δὲ προσθεὶς Ἰὼβ εἶπεν τῷ προοιμίῳ,
1And Job again took up his parable, and said:
2Ζῇ ὁ Θεὸς, ὃς οὕτω με κέκρικε, καὶ ὁ παντοκράτωρ ὁ πικράνας μου τὴν ψυχὴν,
2As God liveth, who hath taken away my right; and the Almighty, who hath dealt bitterly with me;
3εἰ μὴν ἔτι τῆς πνοῆς μου ἐνούσης, πνεῦμα δὲ θεῖον τὸ περιόν μοι ἐν ῥινὶ,
3All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils,
4μὴ λαλήσειν τὰ χείλη μου ὄνομα, οὐδὲ ἡ ψυχή μου μελετήσει ἄδικα.
4Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, neither shall my tongue utter deceit;
5Μή μοι εἴη δικαίους ὑμᾶς ἀποφῆναι ἕως ἂν ἀποθάνω, οὐ γὰρ ἀπαλλάξω μου τὴν ἀκακίαν μου.
5Far be it from me that I should justify you; till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.
6Δικαιοσύνῃ δὲ προσέχων οὐ μὴν προῶμαι, οὐ γὰρ σύνοιδα ἐμαυτῷ ἄτοπα πράξας.
6My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go; my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
7Οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ εἴησαν οἱ ἐχθροί μου ὥσπερ ἡ καταστροφὴ τῶν ἀσεβῶν, καὶ οἱ ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἐπανιστάμενοι, ὥσπερ ἡ ἀπώλεια τῶν παρανόμων.
7Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and let him that riseth up against me be as the unrighteous.
8Καὶ τίς γάρ ἐστιν ἐλπὶς ἀσεβεῖ, ὅτι ἐπέχει; πεποιθὼς ἐπὶ κύριον ἄρα σωθήσεται;
8For what is the hope of the godless, though he get him gain, when God taketh away his soul?
9Ἢ τὴν δέησιν αὐτοῦ εἰσακούσεται ὁ Θεός; ἢ ἐπελθούσης αὐτῷ ἀνάγκης
9Will God hear his cry, when trouble cometh upon him?
10μὴ ἔχει τινὰ παῤῥησίαν ἔναντι αὐτοῦ; ἢ ὡς ἐπικαλεσαμένου αὐτοῦ εἰσακούσεται αὐτοῦ;
10Will he have his delight in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?
11Ἀλλὰ δὴ ἀναγγελῶ ὑμῖν τί ἐστιν ἐν χειρὶ Κυρίου, ἅ ἐστι παρὰ παντοκράτορι, οὐ ψεύσομαι.
11I will teach you concerning the hand of God; that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
12Ἰδοὺ πάντες οἴδατε, ὅτι κενὰ κενοῖς ἐπιβάλλετε.
12Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye become altogether vain?
13Αὕτη ἡ μερὶς ἀνθρώπου ἀσεβοῦς παρὰ Κυρίου, κτῆμα δὲ δυναστῶν ἐλεύσεται παρὰ παντοκράτορος ἐπʼ αὐτούς.
13This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.
14Ἐὰν δἐ πολλοὶ γένωνται οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν, εἰς σφαγὴν ἔσονται· ἐὰν δὲ καὶ ἀνδρωθῶσι, προσαιτήσουσιν.
14If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword; and his offspring shall not have bread enough.
15Οἱ δὲ περιόντες αὐτοῦ ἐν θανάτῳ τελευτήσουσι, χήρας δὲ αὐτῶν οὐδεὶς ἐλεήσει.
15Those that remain of him shall be buried by pestilence, and his widows shall make no lamentation.
16Ἐὰν συναγάγῃ ὥσπερ γῆν ἀργύριον, ἶσα δὲ πηλῷ ἑτοιμάσῃ χρυσίον,
16Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
17ταῦτα πάντα δίκαιοι περιποιήσονται, τὰ δὲ χρήματα αὐτοῦ ἀληθινοὶ καθέξουσιν.
17He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
18Ἀπέβη δὲ ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ ὥσπερ σῆτες, καὶ ὥσπερ ἀράχνη.
18He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth which the keeper maketh.
19Πλούσιος κοιμηθήσεται καὶ οὐ προσθήσει, ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ διήνοιξε καὶ οὐκ ἔστι.
19He lieth down rich, but there shall be not to gather; he openeth his eyes, and his wealth is not.
20Συνήντησαν αὐτῷ ὥσπερ ὕδωρ αἱ ὀδύναι, νυκτὶ δὲ ὑφείλατο αὐτὸν γνόφος.
20Terrors overtake him like waters; a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
21Ἀναλήψεται δὲ αὐτὸν καύσων καὶ ἀπελεύσεται, καὶ λικμήσει αὐτὸν ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ.
21The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth; and it sweepeth him out of his place.
22Καὶ ἐπιῤῥίψει ἐπʼ αὐτὸν καὶ οὐ φείσεται, ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ φυγῇ φεύξεται.
22Yea, it hurleth at him, and spareth not; he would fain flee from its power.
23Κροτήσει ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς χεῖρας αὐτῶν, καὶ συριεῖ αὐτὸν ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ.
23Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
