ΙΩΒ - Giobbe - Job 41

LXX	NEW JERUSALEM
1 ουχ εορακας αυτον ουδε επι τοις λεγομενοις τεθαυμακας	1 Any hope you might have would be futile, the mere sight of him would overwhelm you.
2 ου δεδοικας οτι ητοιμασται μοι τις γαρ εστιν ο εμοι αντιστας	2 When roused, he grows ferocious, who could ever stand up to him?
3 η τις αντιστησεται μοι και υπομενει ει πασα η υπ' ουρανον εμη εστιν	3 Who has ever attacked him with impunity? No one beneath al heaven!
4 ου σιωπησομαι δι' αυτον και λογον δυναμεως ελεησει τον ισον αυτου	4 Next I wil talk of his limbs and describe his matchless strength-
5 τις αποκαλυψει προσωπον ενδυσεως αυτου εις δε πτυξιν θωρακος αυτου τις αν εισελθοι	5 who can undo the front of his tunic or pierce the double armour of his breastplate?
6 πυλας προσωπου αυτου τις ανοιξει κυκλω οδοντων αυτου φοβος	6 Who dare open the gates of his mouth? Terror reigns round his teeth!
7 τα εγκατα αυτου ασπιδες χαλκειαι συνδεσμος δε αυτου ωσπερ σμιριτης λιθος	7 His back is like rows of shields, sealed with a stone seal,
8 εις του ενος κολλωνται πνευμα δε ου μη διελθη αυτον	8 touching each other so close that no breath could pass between,
9 ανηρ τω αδελφω αυτου προσκολληθησεται συνεχονται και ου μη αποσπασθωσιν	9 sticking to one another making an impervious whole.
10 εν πταρμω αυτου επιφαυσκεται φεγγος οι δε οφθαλμοι αυτου ειδος εωσφορου	10 His sneezes radiate light, his eyes are like the eyelashes of the dawn.
11 εκ στοματος αυτου εκπορευονται λαμπαδες καιομεναι και διαρριπτουνται εσχαραι πυρος	11 From his mouth come fiery torches, sparks of fire fly out of it.
12 εκ μυκτηρων αυτου εκπορευεται καπνος καμινου καιομενης πυρι ανθρακων	12 His nostrils belch smoke like a cauldron boiling on the fire.
13 η ψυχη αυτου ανθρακες φλοξ δε εκ στοματος αυτου εκπορευεται	13 His breath could kindle coals, flame issues from his mouth.
14 εν δε τραχηλω αυτου αυλιζεται δυναμις εμπροσθεν αυτου τρεχει απωλεια	14 His strength resides in his neck, violence leaps before him as he goes.
15 σαρκες δε σωματος αυτου κεκολληνται καταχεει επ' αυτον ου σαλευθησεται	15 The strips of his flesh are jointed together, firmly set in and immovable.
16 η καρδια αυτου πεπηγεν ως λιθος εστηκεν δε ωσπερ ακμων ανηλατος	16 His heart is as hard as rock unyielding as the lower mil stone.
17 στραφεντος δε αυτου φοβος θηριοις τετραποσιν επι γης αλλομενοις	17 When he stands up, the waves take fright and the bil ows of the sea retreat.
18 εαν συναντησωσιν αυτω λογχαι ουδεν μη ποιησωσιν δορυ επηρμενον και θωρακα	18 Sword may strike but will not stick in him, no more will spear, javelin or lance.
19 ηγηται μεν γαρ σιδηρον αχυρα χαλκον δε ωσπερ ξυλον σαθρον	19 Iron means no more to him than straw, nor bronze than rotten wood.
20 ου μη τρωση αυτον τοξον χαλκειον ηγηται μεν πετροβολον χορτον	20 No arrow can make him flee, a sling-stone tickles him like hay.
21 ως καλαμη ελογισθησαν σφυραι καταγελα δε σεισμου πυρφορου	21 Club seems to him like straw, he laughs at the whirring javelin.
22 η στρωμνη αυτου οβελισκοι οξεις πας δε χρυσος θαλασσης υπ' αυτον ωσπερ πηλος αμυθητος	22 He has sharp potsherds underneath, and moves across the slime like a harrow.
23 αναζει την αβυσσον ωσπερ χαλκειον ηγηται δε την θαλασσαν ωσπερ εξαλειπτρον	23 He makes the depths seethe like a cauldron, he makes the sea fume like a scent burner.
24 τον δε ταρταρον της αβυσσου ωσπερ αιχμαλωτον ελογισατο αβυσσον εις περιπατον	24 Behind him he leaves a glittering wake -- a white fleece seems to float on the deeps.
25 ουκ εστιν ουδεν επι της γης ομοιον αυτω πεποιημενον εγκαταπαιζεσθαι υπο των αγγελων μου	25 He has no equal on earth, being created without fear.
26 παν υψηλον ορα αυτος δε βασιλευς παντων των εν τοις υδασιν	26 He looks the haughtiest in the eye; of al the lordly beasts he is king.
