ΙΩΒ - Giobbe - Job 27

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 ετι δε προσθεις ιωβ ειπεν τω προοιμιω
2 ζη κυριος ος ουτω με κεκρικεν και ο παντοκρατωρ ο πικρανας μου την ψυχην	2 As God lives, who withholds my deserts, the Almighty, who has made bitter my soul,
3 η μην ετι της πνοης μου ενουσης πνευμα δε θειον το περιον μοι εν ρισιν	3 So long as I still have life in me and the breath of God is in my nostrils,
4 μη λαλησειν τα χειλη μου ανομα ουδε η ψυχη μου μελετησει αδικα	4 My lips shall not speak falsehood, nor my tongue utter deceit!
5 μη μοι ειη δικαιους υμας αποφηναι εως αν αποθανω ου γαρ απαλλαξω μου την ακακιαν	5 Far be it from me to account you right; till I die I will not renounce my innocence.
6 δικαιοσυνη δε προσεχων ου μη προωμαι ου γαρ συνοιδα εμαυτω ατοπα πραξας	6 My justice I maintain and I will not relinquish it; my heart does not reproach me for any of my days.
7 ου μην δε αλλα ειησαν οι εχθροι μου ωσπερ η καταστροφη των ασεβων και οι επ' εμε επανιστανομενοι ωσπερ η απωλεια των παρανομων	7 Let my enemy be as the wicked and my adversary as the unjust!
8 και τις γαρ εστιν ελπις ασεβει οτι επεχει πεποιθως επι κυριον αρα σωθησεται	8 For what can the impious man expect when he is cut off, when God requires his life?
9 η την δεησιν αυτου εισακουσεται κυριος η επελθουσης αυτω αναγκης	9 Will God then attend to his cry when calamity comes upon him?
10 μη εχει τινα παρρησιαν εναντι αυτου η ως επικαλεσαμενου αυτου εισακουσεται αυτου	10 Will he then delight in the Almighty and call upon him constantly?
11 αλλα δη αναγγελω υμιν τι εστιν εν χειρι κυριου α εστιν παρα παντοκρατορι ου ψευσομαι	11 I will teach you the manner of God's dealings, and the way of the Almighty I will not conceal.
12 ιδου δη παντες οιδατε οτι κενα κενοις επιβαλλετε	12 Behold, you yourselves have all seen it; why then do you spend yourselves in idle words!
13 αυτη η μερις ανθρωπου ασεβους παρα κυριου κτημα δε δυναστων ελευσεται παρα παντοκρατορος επ' αυτους	13 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, the inheritance an oppressor receives from the Almighty:
14 εαν δε πολλοι γενωνται οι υιοι αυτου εις σφαγην εσονται εαν δε και ανδρωθωσιν προσαιτησουσιν	14 Though his children be many, the sword is their destiny. His offspring shall not be filled with bread.
15 οι δε περιοντες αυτου εν θανατω τελευτησουσιν χηρας δε αυτων ουθεις ελεησει	15 His survivors, when they die, shall have no burial, and their widows shall not be mourned.
16 εαν συναγαγη ωσπερ γην αργυριον ισα δε πηλω ετοιμαση χρυσιον	16 Though he heap up silver like dust and store away mounds of clothing,
17 ταυτα παντα δικαιοι περιποιησονται τα δε χρηματα αυτου αληθινοι καθεξουσιν	17 What he has stored the just man shall wear, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
18 απεβη δε ο οικος αυτου ωσπερ σητες και ωσπερ αραχνη	18 He builds his house as of cobwebs, or like a booth put up by the vine-keeper.
19 πλουσιος κοιμηθεις και ου προσθησει οφθαλμους αυτου διηνοιξεν και ουκ εστιν	19 He lies down a rich man, one last time; he opens his eyes and nothing remains to him.
20 συνηντησαν αυτω ωσπερ υδωρ αι οδυναι νυκτι δε υφειλατο αυτον γνοφος	20 Terrors rush upon him by day; at night the tempest carries him off.
21 αναλημψεται αυτον καυσων και απελευσεται και λικμησει αυτον εκ του τοπου αυτου	21 The storm wind seizes him and he disappears; it sweeps him out of his place.
22 και επιρριψει επ' αυτον και ου φεισεται εκ χειρος αυτου φυγη φευξεται
23 κροτησει επ' αυτου χειρας αυτου και συριει αυτον εκ του τοπου αυτου
