JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Ἰὼβ, καὶ εἶπε,
1Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said:
2μὴ κρίσιν μετὰ ἱκανοῦ ἐκκλίνει; ἐλέγχων δὲ Θεὸν, ἀποκριθήσεται αὐτήν.
2Shall he that reproveth contend with the Almighty? He that argueth with God, let him answer it.
3Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἰὼβ λέγει τῷ Κυρίῳ,
3Then Job answered the LORD, and said:
4τί ἔτι ἐγὼ κρίνομαι, νουθετούμενος καὶ ἐλέγχων Κύριον, ἀκούων τοιαῦτα οὐθὲν ὤν; ἐγὼ δὲ τίνα ἀπόκρισιν δῶ πρὸς ταῦτα; χεῖρα θήσω ἐπὶ στόματί μου.
4Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer Thee? I lay my hand upon my mouth.
5Ἅπαξ λελάληκα, ἐπὶ δὲ τῷ δευτέρῳ οὐ προσθήσω.
5Once have I spoken, but I will not answer again; yea, twice, but I will proceed no further.
6Ἔτι δὲ ὑπολαβὼν ὁ Κύριος, εἶπε τῷ Ἰὼβ ἐκ τοῦ νέφους,
6Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:
7Μὴ, ἀλλὰ ζῶσαι ὥσπερ ἀνὴρ τὴν ὀσφύν σου, ἐρωτήσω δέ σε, σὺ δέ μοι ἀπόκριναι.
7Gird up thy loins now like a man; I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto Me.
8Μὴ ἀποποιοῦ μου τὸ κρίμα· οἴει δέ με ἄλλως σοι κεχρηματικέναι, ἢ ἳνα ἀναφανῇς δίκαιος;
8Wilt thou even make void My judgment? Wilt thou condemn Me, that thou mayest be justified?
9Ἢ βραχίων σοί ἐστι κατὰ τοῦ Κυρίου, ἢ φωνῇ κατʼ αὐτοῦ βροντᾷς;
9Or hast thou an arm like God? And canst thou thunder with a voice like Him?
10Ἀνάλαβε δὴ ὕψος καὶ δύναμιν, δόξαν δὲ καὶ τιμὴν ἀμφίασαι.
10Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency, and array thyself with glory and beauty.
11Ἀπόστειλον δὲ ἀγγέλους ὀργῇ, πὰντα δὲ ὑβριστὴν ταπείνωσον.
11Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath; and look upon every one that is proud, and abase him.
12Ὑπερήφανον δὲ σβέσον, σῆψον δὲ ἀσεβεῖς παραχρῆμα.
12Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
13Κρύψον δὲ εἰς γῆν ὁμοθυμαδόν, τὰ δὲ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ἀτιμίας ἔμπλησον.
13Hide them in the dust together; bind their faces in the hidden place.
14Ὁμολογήσω ὅτι δύναται ἡ δεξιά σου σῶσαι.
14Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
15Ἀλλὰ δὴ ἰδοὺ θηρία παρὰ σοὶ, χόρτον ἶσα βουσὶν ἐσθίουσιν.
15Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16Ἰδοὺ δὴ ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ ὀσφύϊ, ἡ δὲ δύναμις αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ ὀμφαλοῦ γαστρός·
16Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the stays of his body.
17Ἔστησεν οὐρὰν ὡς κυπάρισσον, τὰ δὲ νεῦρα αὐτοῦ συμπέπλεκται.
17He straineth his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
18Αἱ πλευραὶ αὐτοῦ, πλευραὶ χάλκειαι, ἡ δὲ ῥάχις αὐτοῦ σίδηρος χυτός.
18His bones are as pipes of brass; his gristles are like bars of iron.
19Τουτέστιν ἀρχὴ πλάσματος Κυρίου· πεποιημένον ἐγκαταπαίζεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ.
19He is the beginning of the ways of God; He only that made him can make His sword to approach unto him.
20Ἐπελθὼν δὲ ἐπʼ ὄρος ἀκρότομον, ἐποίησε χαρμονὴν τετράποσιν ἐν τῷ ταρτάρῳ.
20Surely the mountains bring him forth food, and all the beasts of the field play there.
21Ὑπὸ παντοδαπὰ δένδρα κοιμᾶται, παρὰ πάπυρον καὶ κάλαμον καὶ βούτομον.
21He lieth under the lotus-trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22Σκιάζονται δὲ ἐν αὐτῷ δένδρα μεγάλα σὺν ῥαδάμνοις, καὶ κλῶνες ἀγροῦ.
22The lotus-trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
23Ἐὰν γένηται πλημμύρα, οὐ μὴ αἰσθηθῇ· πέποιθεν, ὅτι προσκρούσει ὁ Ἰορδάνης εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ.
23Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not; he is confident, though the Jordan rush forth to his mouth.
24Ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ αὐτοῦ δέξεται αὐτόν, ἐνσκολιευόμενος τρήσει ῥῖνα.
24Shall any take him by his eyes, or pierce through his nose with a snare?
25Ἄξεις δὲ δράκοντα ἐν ἀγκίστρῳ, περιθήσεις δὲ φορβαίεαν περὶ ῥῖνα αὐτοῦ;
