Job 16

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Then Job, answering, said:	1 Τοτε ο Ιωβ απεκριθη και ειπε?
2 I have often heard such things; you are all aggravating comforters.	2 Πολλα τοιαυτα ηκουσα? αθλιοι παρηγορηται εισθε παντες.
3 Will there be no end to windy words? Or is it at all a burden to you, if you speak?	3 Εχουσι τελος αι ματαιολογιαι; η τι σε ενθαρρυνει εις το να αποκρινησαι;
4 I, too, can speak like you; and I also wish that your soul favored my soul.	4 Και εγω εδυναμην να λαλησω καθως σεις? εαν η ψυχη σας ητο εις τον τοπον της ψυχης μου, ηδυναμην να επισωρευσω λογους εναντιον σας, και να κινησω εναντιον σας την κεφαλην μου.
5 I would also comfort you with speeches and would wag my head over you.	5 Ηθελον σας ενισχυσει με το στομα μου, και η κινησις των χειλεων μου ηθελε σας ανακουφισει.
6 I would strengthen you with my mouth, and would move my lips, as if being lenient to you.	6 Αν λαλω, ο πονος μου δεν ανακουφιζεται? και αν σιωπω, ποια ελαττωσις γινεται εις εμε;
7 But what can I do? When I am speaking, my grief will not be quiet; and if I am quiet, it will not withdraw from me.	7 Αλλα τωρα με υπερεβαρυνεν? ηρημωσας πασαν την συνοδιαν μου.
8 But now my grief has crushed me, and all my limbs have been reduced to nothing.	8 Και αι ρυτιδες με τας οποιας με εσημειωσας, ειναι μαρτυρια? και η ισχνοτης μου ανισταμενη εις εμε, μαρτυρει επι του προσωπου μου.
9 My wrinkles bear witness against me, and a liar rises up against my face, contradicting me.	9 Με διασπαραττει ο εχθρος μου εν τω θυμω αυτου και με μισει? τριζει τους οδοντας αυτου εναντιον μου? οξυνει τους οφθαλμους αυτου επ' εμε.
10 He has gathered together his fury towards me, and, threatening me, he has roared against me with his teeth; my enemy has beheld me with terrible eyes.	10 Ανοιγουσι το στομα αυτων κατ' εμου? με τυπτουσι κατα της σιαγονος υβριστικως? συνηχθησαν ομου επ' εμε.
11 They have opened their mouths against me, and, reproaching me, they have struck me on the cheek; they are nourished by my sufferings.	11 Ο Θεος με παρεδωκεν εις τον αδικον, και με ερριψεν εις χειρας ασεβων.
12 God has confined me with the immoral, and he has delivered me into the hands of the impious.	12 Ημην εν ησυχια, και με κατεσπαραξε? και πιασας με απο του τραχηλου, με κατεσυντριψε, και με εθεσε σκοπον αυτου.
13 I, who once was wealthy, am now crushed. He has grabbed me by my neck; he has broken me and has place me before him as a sign.	13 Οι τοξοται αυτου με περιεκυκλωσαν? διαπερα τα νεφρα μου, και δεν φειδεται? εκχεει την χολην μου επι την γην.
14 He has surrounded me with his lances. He has severely wounded my lower back, he has not been lenient, and he has poured out my organs upon the earth.	14 Με συντριβει με πληγην επι πληγην? εδραμεν επ' εμε ως γιγας.
15 He has cut me with wound after wound. He has rushed upon me like a giant.	15 Σακκον ερραψα επι το δερμα μου, και εμολυνα το κερας μου με χωμα.
16 I have sewn sackcloth over my skin, and I have covered my body with ashes.	16 Το προσωπον μου κατεκαη υπο του κλαυθμου, και σκια θανατου ειναι επι των βλεφαρων μου?
17 My face is swollen from weeping, and my eyelids have dimmed my vision.	17 ενω αδικια δεν υπαρχει εν ταις χερσι μου, και η προσευχη μου ειναι καθαρα.
18 These things I have endured without iniquity in my hand, while I held pure prayers before God.	18 Ω γη, μη σκεπασης το αιμα μου, και ας μη υπαρχη τοπος δια την κραυγην μου,
19 O earth, do not conceal my blood, nor let my outcry find a hiding place in you.	19 και τωρα, ιδου, ο μαρτυς μου ειναι εν τω ουρανω, και η μαρτυρια μου εν τοις υψιστοις.
20 For behold, my witness is in heaven, and my confidante is on high.	20 Οι φιλοι μου ειναι οι εμπαιζοντες με? ο οφθαλμος μου σταλαζει δακρυα προς τον Θεον.
21 My friends are full of words; my eye rains tears upon God.	21 Να ητο δυνατον να διαδικαζηται τις προς τον Θεον, ως ανθρωπος προς τον πλησιον αυτου.
22 And I wish that a man might be so judged before God, just as the son of man is judged with his assistant!	22 Διοτι ηλθον τα ηριθμημενα ετη? και θελω υπαγει την οδον, οποθεν δεν θελω επιστρεψει.
23 For behold, a few years pass by, and I am walking a path by which I will not return.
