Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
1ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ Βαλδὰδ ὁ Σαυχίτης λέγει·
2“How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
2μέχρι τίνος οὐ παύσῃ; ἐπίσχες, ἵνα καὶ αὐτοὶ λαλήσωμεν.
3Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean in your sight?
3διατὶ δὲ ὥσπερ τετράποδα σεσιωπήκαμεν ἐναντίον σου;
4You who tear yourself in your anger, will the earth be forsaken for you? Or will the rock be removed out of its place?
4κέχρηταί σοι ὀργή· τί γάρ; ἐὰν σὺ ἀποθάνῃς, ἀοίκητος ἡ ὑπ᾿ οὐρανόν; ἢ καταστραφήσεται ὄρη ἐκ θεμελίων;
5“Yes, the light of the wicked will be put out. The spark of his fire won’t shine.
5καὶ φῶς ἀσεβῶν σβεσθήσεται, καὶ οὐκ ἀποβήσεται αὐτῶν ἡ φλόξ·
6The light will be dark in his tent. His lamp above him will be put out.
6τὸ φῶς αὐτοῦ σκότος ἐν διαίτῃ, ὁ δὲ λύχνος ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ σβεσθήσεται.
7The steps of his strength will be shortened. His own counsel will cast him down.
7θηρεύσαισαν ἐλάχιστοι τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ, σφάλαι δὲ αὐτοῦ ἡ βουλή.
8For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.
8ἐμβέβληται δὲ ὁ ποὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν παγίδι, ἐν δικτύῳ ἑλιχθείη.
9A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him.
9ἔλθοισαν δὲ ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν παγίδες, κατισχύσει ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν διψῶντας.
10A noose is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him on the path.
10κέκρυπται ἐν τῇ γῇ σχοινίον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ σύλληψις αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τρίβων.
11Terrors will make him afraid on every side, and will chase him at his heels.
11κύκλῳ ὀλέσαισαν αὐτὸν ὀδύναι, πολλοὶ δὲ περὶ πόδα αὐτοῦ ἔλθοισαν
12His strength will be famished. Calamity will be ready at his side.
12ἐν λιμῷ στενῷ. πτῶμα δὲ αὐτῷ ἡτοίμασται ἐξαίσιον.
13The members of his body will be devoured. The firstborn of death will devour his members.
13βρωθείησαν αὐτοῦ κλῶνες ποδῶν, κατέδεται δὲ αὐτοῦ τὰ ὡραῖα θάνατος.
14He will be rooted out of the security of his tent. He will be brought to the king of terrors.
14ἐκραγείη δὲ ἐκ διαίτης αὐτοῦ ἴασις, σχοίη δὲ αὐτὸν ἀνάγκη αἰτίᾳ βασιλικῇ.
15There will dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur will be scattered on his habitation.
15κατασκηνώσει ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ αὐτοῦ ἐν νυκτὶ αὐτοῦ, κατασπαρήσονται τὰ εὐπρεπῆ αὐτοῦ θείῳ.
16His roots will be dried up beneath. His branch will be cut off above.
16ὑποκάτωθεν αἱ ρίζαι αὐτοῦ ξηρανθήσονται, καὶ ἐπάνωθεν ἐπιπεσεῖται θερισμὸς αὐτοῦ.
17His memory will perish from the earth. He will have no name in the street.
17τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτοῦ ἀπόλοιτο ἐκ γῆς, καὶ ὑπάρξει ὄνομα αὐτῷ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐξωτέρω.
18He will be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
18ἀπώσειεν αὐτὸν ἐκ φωτὸς εἰς σκότος.
19He will have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he lived.
19οὐκ ἔσται ἐπίγνωστος ἐν λαῷ αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ σεσωσμένος ἐν τῇ ὑπ᾿ οὐρανὸν ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ,
20Those who come after will be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.
20ἀλλ᾿ ἐν τοῖς αὐτοῦ ζήσονται ἕτεροι. ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ ἐστέναξαν ἔσχατοι, πρώτους δὲ ἔσχε θαῦμα.
21Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn’t know God.”
21οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ οἶκοι ἀδίκων, οὗτος δὲ ὁ τόπος τῶν μὴ εἰδότων τὸν Κύριον.
