Berean Standard Bible
1Προσθεὶς δὲ ἔτι Ἐλιοὺς, λέγει,
1And Elihu continued:
2Μεῖνόν με μικρὸν ἔτι, ἵνα διδάξω σε· ἔτι γὰρ ἐν ἐμοί ἐστι λέξις.
2“Bear with me a little longer, and I will show you that there is more to be said on God’s behalf.
3Ἀναλαβὼν τὴν ἐπιστήμην μου μακράν, ἔργοις δέ μου δίκαια ἐρῶ ἐπʼ ἀληθείας,
3I get my knowledge from afar, and I will ascribe justice to my Maker.
4καὶ οὐκ ἄδικα ῥήματα ἀδίκως συνιεῖς.
4For truly my words are free of falsehood; one perfect in knowledge is with you.
5Γίνωσκε δὲ, ὅτι ὁ Κύριος οὐ μὴ ἀποποιήσηται τὸν ἄκακον, δυνατὸς ἰσχύϊ καρδίας
5Indeed, God is mighty, but He despises no one; He is mighty in strength of understanding.
6ἀσεβῆ οὐ μὴ ζωοποιήσῃ, καὶ κρίμα πτωχῶν δώσει.
6He does not keep the wicked alive, but He grants justice to the afflicted.
7Οὐκ ἀφελεῖ ἀπὸ δικαίου ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ μετὰ βασιλέων εἰς θρόνον, καὶ καθιεῖ αὐτοὺς εἰς νῖκος, καὶ ὑψωθήσονται.
7He does not take His eyes off the righteous, but He enthrones them with kings and exalts them forever.
8Καὶ οἱ πεπεδημένοι ἐν χειροπέδαις, συσχεθήσονται ἐν σχοινίοις πενίας.
8And if men are bound with chains, caught in cords of affliction,
9Καὶ ἀναγγελεῖ αὐτοῖς τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ παραπτώματα αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἰσχύσουσιν.
9then He tells them their deeds and how arrogantly they have transgressed.
10Ἀλλὰ τοῦ δικαίου εἰσακούσεται· καὶ εἶπεν ὅτι ἐπιστραφήσονται ἐξ ἀδικίας.
10He opens their ears to correction and commands that they turn from iniquity.
11Ἐὰν ἀκούσωσι, καὶ δουλεύσωσι, συντελέσουσι τὰς ἡμέρας αὐτῶν ἐν ἀγαθοῖς, καὶ τὰ ἔτη αὐτῶν ἐν εὐπρεπείαις.
11If they obey and serve Him, then they end their days in prosperity and their years in happiness.
12Ἀσεβεῖς δὲ οὐ διασώζει, παρὰ τὸ μὴ βούλεσθαι αὐτοὺς εἰδέναι τὸν Κύριον, καὶ διότι νουθετούμενοι ἀνήκοοι ἦσαν.
12But if they do not obey, then they perish by the sword and die without knowledge.
13Καὶ ὑποκριταὶ καρδίᾳ τάξουσι θυμόν, οὐ βοήσονται, ὅτι ἔδησεν αὐτούς.
13The godless in heart harbor resentment; even when He binds them, they do not cry for help.
14Ἀποθάνοι τοίνυν ἐν νεότητι ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῶν, ἡ δὲ ζωὴ αὐτῶν τιτρωσκομένη ὑπὸ ἀγγέλων,
14They die in their youth, among the male shrine prostitutes.
15ἀνθʼ ὧν ἔθλιψαν ἀσθενῆ καὶ ἀδύνατον, κρίμα δὲ πραέων ἐκθήσει.
15God rescues the afflicted by their affliction and opens their ears in oppression.
16Καὶ προσεπιηπάτησέ σε ἐκ στόματος ἐχθροῦ, ἄβυσσος κατάχυσις ὑποκάτω αὐτῆς, καὶ κατέβη τράπεζά σου πλήρης πιότητος.
16Indeed, He drew you from the jaws of distress to a spacious and broad place, to a table full of richness.
17Οὐχ ὑστερήσει δὲ ἀπὸ δικαίων κρίμα,
17But now you are laden with the judgment due the wicked; judgment and justice have seized you.
18θυμὸς δὲ ἐπʼ ἀσεβεῖς ἔσται, διʼ ἀσέβειαν δώρων ὧν ἐδέχοντο ἐπʼ ἀδικίαις.
18Be careful that no one lures you with riches; do not let a large bribe lead you astray.
19Μή σε ἐκκλινάτω ἑκὼν ὁ νοῦς δεήσεως ἐν ἀνάγκῃ ὄντων ἀδυνάτων,
19Can your wealth or all your mighty effort keep you from distress?
20καὶ πάντας τοὺς κραταιοῦντας ἰσχὺν μὴ ἐξελκύσῃς τὴν νύκτα, τοῦ ἀναβῆναι λαοὺς ἀντʼ αὐτῶν,
20Do not long for the night, when people vanish from their homes.
21ἀλλὰ φύλαξαι μὴ πράξῃς ἄτοκα· ἐπὶ τοὺτων γὰρ ἐξείλω ἀπὸ πτωχείας.
21Be careful not to turn to iniquity, for this you have preferred to affliction.
22Ἰδοὺ ὁ ἰσχυρὸς κραταιώσει ἐν ἰσχύι αὐτοῦ· τίς γάρ ἐστι κατʼ αὐτὸν δυνάστης;
22Behold, God is exalted in His power. Who is a teacher like Him?
23Τίς δέ ἐστιν ὁ ἐτάζων αὐτοῦ τὰ ἔργα; ἢ τίς ὁ εἰπὼν, ἔπραξεν ἄδικα;
23Who has appointed His way for Him, or told Him, ‘You have done wrong’?
24Μνήσθητι, ὅτι μεγάλα ἐστὶν αὐτοῦ τὰ ἔργα, ὧν ἦρξαν ἄνδρες.
24Remember to magnify His work, which men have praised in song.
25Πᾶς ἄνθρωπος εἶδεν ἐν ἑαυτῷ, ὅσοι τιτρωσκόμενοί εἰσι βροτοί.
25All mankind has seen it; men behold it from afar.
26Ἰδοὺ ὁ ἰσχυρὸς πολύς, καὶ οὐ γνωσόμεθα· ἀριθμὸς ἐτῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπέραντος.
26Indeed, God is great—beyond our knowledge; the number of His years is unsearchable.
27Ἀριθμηταὶ δὲ αὐτῷ σταγόνες ὑετοῦ, καὶ ἐπιχυθήσονται ὑετῷ εἰς νεφέλην.
27For He draws up drops of water which distill the rain from the mist,
28Ῥυήσονται παλαιώματα, ἐσκίασε δὲ νέφη ἐπὶ ἀμυθήτῳ βροτῷ· ὥραν ἔθετο κτήνεσιν, οἴδασι δὲ κοίτης τάξιν· ἐπὶ τούτοις πᾶσιν οὐκ ἐξίσταταί σου ἡ διάνοια, οὐδὲ διαλλάσσεταί σου ἡ καρδία ἀπὸ σώματος.
28which the clouds pour out and shower abundantly on mankind.
29Καὶ ἐὰν συνῇ ἐπεκτάσεις νεφέλης, ἰσότητα σκηνῆς αὐτοῦ,
29Furthermore, who can understand how the clouds spread out, how the thunder roars from His pavilion?
30ἰδοὺ ἐκτενεῖ ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ἠδὼ, καὶ ῥιζώματα τῆς θαλάσσης ἐκάλυψεν.
30See how He scatters His lightning around Him and covers the depths of the sea.
31Ἐν γὰρ αὐτοῖς κρινεῖ λαούς, δώσει τροφὴν τῷ ἰσχύοντι.
31For by these He judges the nations and provides food in abundance.
32Ἐπὶ χειρῶν ἐκάλυψε φῶς, καὶ ἐνετείλατο περὶ αὐτῆς ἐν ἀπαντῶντι.
32He fills His hands with lightning and commands it to strike its mark.
33Ἀναγγελεῖ περὶ αὐτοῦ φίλον αὐτοῦ Κύριος, κτῆσι καὶ περὶ ἀδικίας.
33The thunder declares His presence; even the cattle regard the rising storm.
