Berean Standard Bible
1Καὶ ἀπὸ ταύτης ἐταράχθη ἡ καρδία μου, καὶ ἀπεῤῥύη ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτῆς.
1“At this my heart also pounds and leaps from its place.
2Ἄκουε ἀκοὴν ἐν ὀργῇ θυμοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ μελέτη ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐξελεύσεται.
2Listen closely to the thunder of His voice and the rumbling that comes from His mouth.
3Ὑποκάτω παντὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἡ ἀρχὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ φῶς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πτερύγων τῆς γῆς.
3He unleashes His lightning beneath the whole sky and sends it to the ends of the earth.
4Ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ βοήσεται φωνῇ, βροντήσει ἐν φωνῇ ὕβρεως αὐτοὺ· καὶ οὐκ ἀνταλλάξει αὐτούς, ὅτι ἀκούσει φωνὴν αὐτοῦ.
4Then there comes a roaring sound; He thunders with His majestic voice. He does not restrain the lightning when His voice resounds.
5Βροντήσει ὁ ἰσχυρὸς ἐν φωνῇ αὐτοῦ θαυμάσια· ἐποίησε γὰρ μεγάλα ἃ οὐκ ᾔδειμεν,
5God thunders wondrously with His voice; He does great things we cannot comprehend.
6συντάσσων χιόνι, γίνου ἐπὶ τῆς, γῆς, καὶ χειμὼν ὑετὸς, καὶ χειμὼν ὑετῶν δυναστείας αὐτοῦ.
6For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the gentle rain, ‘Pour out a mighty downpour.’
7Ἐν χειρὶ παντὸς ἀνθρώπου κατασφραγίζει, ἵνα γνῷ πᾶς ἄνθρωπος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἀσθένειαν.
7He seals up the hand of every man, so that all men may know His work.
8Εἰσῆλθε δὲ θηρία ὑπὸ τὴν σκέπην, ἡσύχασαν δὲ ἐπὶ κοίτης.
8The wild animals enter their lairs; they settle down in their dens.
9Ἐκ ταμιείων ἐπέρχονται ὀδύναι, ἀπὸ δὲ ἀκρωτηρίων ψῦχος·
9The tempest comes from its chamber, and the cold from the driving north winds.
10Καὶ ἀπὸ πνοῆς ἰσχυροῦ δώσει πάγος· οἰακίζει δὲ τὸ ὕδωρ ὡς ἐὰν βούληται,
10By the breath of God the ice is formed and the watery expanses are frozen.
11καὶ ἐκλεκτὸν καταπλάσσει νεφέλη· διασκορπιεῖ νέφος φῶς αὐτοῦ,
11He loads the clouds with moisture; He scatters His lightning through them.
12καὶ αὐτὸς κυκλώματα διαστρέψει, ἐν θεεβουλαθὼθ, εἰς ἔργα αὐτῶν· πάντα ὅσα ἂν ἐντείληται αὐτοῖς, ταῦτα συντέτακται παρʼ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς,
12They swirl about, whirling at His direction, accomplishing all that He commands over the face of all the earth.
13ἐάν τε εἰς παιδείαν, ἐὰν εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ, ἐὰν εἰς ἔλεος εὑρήσει αὐτόν.
13Whether for punishment or for His land, He accomplishes this in His loving devotion.
14Ἐνωτίζου ταῦτα, Ἰώβ· στῆθι νουθετούμενος δύναμιν Κυρίου.
14Listen to this, O Job; stand still and consider the wonders of God.
15Οἴδαμεν ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς ἔθετο ἔργα αὐτοῦ, φῶς ποιήσας ἐκ σκότους.
15Do you know how God dispatches the clouds or makes the lightning flash?
16Ἐπίσταται δὲ διάκρισιν νεφῶν, ἐξαίσια δὲ πτώματα πονηρῶν.
16Do you understand how the clouds float, those wonders of Him who is perfect in knowledge?
17Σοῦ δὲ ἡ στολὴ θερμὴ, ἡσυχάζεται δὲ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
17You whose clothes get hot when the land lies hushed under the south wind,
18Στερεώσεις μετʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς παλαιώματα, ἰσχυραὶ ὡς ὅρασις ἐπιχύσεως.
18can you, like Him, spread out the skies to reflect the heat like a mirror of bronze?
19Διατὶ δίδαξόν με, τί ἐροῦμεν αὐτῷ; καὶ παυσώμεθα πολλὰ λέγοντες.
19Teach us what we should say to Him; we cannot draw up our case when our faces are in darkness.
20Μὴ βίβλος ἢ γραμματεύς μοι παρέστηκεν, ἵνα ἄνθρωπον ἑστηκὼς κατασιωπήσω;
20Should He be told that I want to speak? Would a man ask to be swallowed up ?
21Πᾶσι δὲ οὐχ ὁρατὸν τὸ φῶς, τηλαυγές ἐστιν ἐν τοῖς παλαιώμασιν, ὥσπερ τὸ παρʼ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ νεφῶν.
21Now no one can gaze at the sun when it is bright in the skies after the wind has swept them clean.
22Ἀπὸ Βοῤῥᾶ νέφη χρυσαυγοῦντα, ἐπὶ τούτοις μεγάλη ἡ δόξα καὶ τιμὴ παντοκράτορος,
22Out of the north He comes in golden splendor; awesome majesty surrounds Him.
23καὶ οὐχ εὑρίσκομεν ἄλλον ὅμοιον τῇ ἰσχύϊ αὐτοῦ· ὁ τὰ δίκαια κρίνων, οὐκ οἴει ἐπακούειν αὐτόν;
23The Almighty is beyond our reach; He is exalted in power! In His justice and great righteousness He does not oppress.
24Διὸ φοβηθήσονται αὐτὸν οἱ ἄνθρωποι, φοβηθήσονται δὲ αὐτὸν καὶ οἱ σοφοὶ καρδίᾳ.
24Therefore, men fear Him, for He is not partial to the wise in heart.”
