Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Moreover the LORD answered Job,
1ΚΑΙ ἀπεκρίθη Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Ἰὼβ καὶ εἶπε·
2“Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.”
2μὴ κρίσιν μετὰ ἱκανοῦ ἐκκλινεῖ, ἐλέγχων δὲ Θεὸν ἀποκριθήσεται αὐτήν;
3Then Job answered the LORD,
3ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἰὼβ λέγει τῷ Κυρίῳ·
4“Behold, I am of small account. What will I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.
4τί ἔτι ἐγὼ κρίνομαι, νουθετούμενος καὶ ἐλέγχων Κύριον, ἀκούων τοιαῦτα οὐθὲν ὤν; ἐγὼ δὲ τίνα ἀπόκρισιν δῶ πρὸς ταῦτα; χεῖρα θήσω ἐπὶ στόματί μου·
5I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”
5ἅπαξ λελάληκα, ἐπὶ δὲ τῷ δευτέρῳ οὐ προσθήσω.
6Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind:
6ἔτι δὲ ὑπολαβὼν ὁ Κύριος εἶπε τῷ Ἰὼβ ἐκ τοῦ νέφους·
7“Now brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you will answer me.
7μή, ἀλλὰ ζῶσαι ὥσπερ ἀνὴρ τὴν ὀσφύν σου, ἐρωτήσω δέ σε, σὺ δέ μοι ἀπόκριναι·
8Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?
8μὴ ἀποποιοῦ μου τὸ κρίμα. οἴει δέ με ἄλλως σοι κεχρηματικέναι ἢ ἵνα ἀναφανῇς δίκαιος;
9Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?
9ἦ βραχίων σοί ἐστι κατὰ τοῦ Κυρίου, ἢ φωνῇ κατ᾿ αὐτὸν βροντᾷς;
10“Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity. Array yourself with honor and majesty.
10ἀνάλαβε δὴ ὕψος καὶ δύναμιν, δόξαν δὲ καὶ τιμὴν ἀμφίασαι.
11Pour out the fury of your anger. Look at everyone who is proud, and bring him low.
11ἀπόστειλον δὲ ἀγγέλους ὀργῇ, πάντα δὲ ὑβριστὴν ταπείνωσον·
12Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked in their place.
12ὑπερήφανον δὲ σβέσον, σῆψον δὲ ἀσεβεῖς παραχρῆμα,
13Hide them in the dust together. Bind their faces in the hidden place.
13κρύψον δὲ εἰς γῆν ὁμοθυμαδόν, τὰ δὲ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ἀτιμίας ἔμπλησον·
14Then I will also admit to you that your own right hand can save you.
14ὁμολογήσω ὅτι δύναται ἡ δεξιά σου σῶσαι.
15“See now behemoth, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as an ox.
15ἀλλὰ δὴ ἰδοὺ θηρία παρά σοι, χόρτον ἴσα βουσὶν ἐσθίουσιν.
16Look now, his strength is in his thighs. His force is in the muscles of his belly.
16ἰδοὺ δὴ ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ ὀσφύϊ, ἡ δὲ δύναμις αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ ὀμφαλοῦ γαστρός·
17He moves his tail like a cedar. The sinews of his thighs are knit together.
17ἔστησεν οὐρὰν ὡς κυπάρισσον, τὰ δὲ νεῦρα αὐτοῦ συμπέπλεκται·
18His bones are like tubes of bronze. His limbs are like bars of iron.
18αἱ πλευραὶ αὐτοῦ πλευραὶ χάλκειαι, ἡ δὲ ράχις αὐτοῦ σίδηρος χυτός.
19He is the chief of the ways of God. He who made him gives him his sword.
19τοῦτ᾿ ἔστιν ἀρχὴ πλάσματος Κυρίου, πεποιημένον ἐγκαταπαίζεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ.
20Surely the mountains produce food for him, where all the animals of the field play.
20ἐπελθὼν δὲ ἐπ᾿ ὄρος ἀκρότομον ἐποίησε χαρμονὴν τετράποσιν ἐν τῷ ταρτάρῳ.
21He lies under the lotus trees, in the covert of the reed, and the marsh.
21ὑπὸ παντοδαπὰ δένδρα κοιμᾶται, παρὰ πάπυρον καὶ κάλαμον καὶ βούτομον.
22The lotuses cover him with their shade. The willows of the brook surround him.
22σκιάζονται δὲ ἐν αὐτῷ δένδρα μεγάλα σὺν ραδάμνοις καὶ κλῶνες ἀγροῦ.
23Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn’t tremble. He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.
23ἐὰν γένηται πλήμμυρα, οὐ μὴ αἰσθηθῇ· πέποιθεν ὅτι προσκρούσει ὁ Ἰορδάνης εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ.
24Shall any take him when he is on the watch, or pierce through his nose with a snare?
24ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ αὐτοῦ δέξεται αὐτόν, ἐνσκολιευόμενος τρήσει ρῖνα.
