| 1 Then Job answered , and said: | 1 υπολαβων δε ιωβ λεγει |
| 2 How long do you afflict my soul, and break me in pieces with words? | 2 εως τινος εγκοπον ποιησετε ψυχην μου και καθαιρειτε με λογοις |
| 3 Behold, these ten times you confound me, and are not ashamed to oppress me. | 3 γνωτε μονον οτι ο κυριος εποιησε με ουτως καταλαλειτε μου ουκ αισχυνομενοι με επικεισθε μοι |
| 4 For if I have been ignorant, my ignorance shall be with me. | 4 ναι δη επ' αληθειας εγω επλανηθην παρ' εμοι δε αυλιζεται πλανος [4α] λαλησαι ρημα ο ουκ εδει τα δε ρηματα μου πλαναται και ουκ επι καιρου |
| 5 But you have set yourselves up against me, and reprove me with my reproaches. | 5 εα δε οτι επ' εμοι μεγαλυνεσθε εναλλεσθε δε μοι ονειδει |
| 6 At least now understand, that God hath not afflicted me with an equal judgment, and compassed me with his scourges. | 6 γνωτε ουν οτι ο κυριος εστιν ο ταραξας οχυρωμα δε αυτου επ' εμε υψωσεν |
| 7 Behold I cry suffering violence, and no one will hear: I shall cry aloud, and there is none to judge. | 7 ιδου γελω ονειδει και ου λαλησω κεκραξομαι και ουδαμου κριμα |
| 8 He hath hedged in my path round about, and I cannot pass, and in my way he hath set darkness. | 8 κυκλω περιωκοδομημαι και ου μη διαβω επι προσωπον μου σκοτος εθετο |
| 9 He hath stripped me of my glory, and hath taken the crown from my head. | 9 την δε δοξαν απ' εμου εξεδυσεν αφειλεν δε στεφανον απο κεφαλης μου |
| 10 He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am lost, and he hath taken away my hope, as from a tree that is plucked up. | 10 διεσπασεν με κυκλω και ωχομην εξεκοψεν δε ωσπερ δενδρον την ελπιδα μου |
| 11 His wrath is kindled against me, and he hath counted me as his enemy. | 11 δεινως δε μοι οργη εχρησατο ηγησατο δε με ωσπερ εχθρον |
| 12 His troops have come together, and have made themselves a way by me, and have besieged my tabernacle round about. | 12 ομοθυμαδον δε ηλθον τα πειρατηρια αυτου επ' εμοι ταις οδοις μου εκυκλωσαν με εγκαθετοι |
| 13 He hath put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintance like strangers have departed from me. | 13 απ' εμου δε αδελφοι μου απεστησαν εγνωσαν αλλοτριους η εμε φιλοι δε μου ανελεημονες γεγονασιν |
| 14 My kinsmen have forsaken me, and they that knew me, have forgotten me. | 14 ου προσεποιησαντο με οι εγγυτατοι μου και οι ειδοτες μου το ονομα επελαθοντο μου |
| 15 They that dwelt in my house, and my maidservants have counted me a stranger, and I have been like an alien in their eyes. | 15 γειτονες οικιας θεραπαιναι τε μου αλλογενης ημην εναντιον αυτων |
| 16 I called my servant, and he gave me no answer, I entreated him with my own mouth. | 16 θεραποντα μου εκαλεσα και ουχ υπηκουσεν στομα δε μου εδεετο |
| 17 My wife hath abhorred my breath, and I entreated the children of my womb. | 17 και ικετευον την γυναικα μου προσεκαλουμην δε κολακευων υιους παλλακιδων μου |
| 18 Even fools despise me; and when I gone from them, they spoke against me. | 18 οι δε εις τον αιωνα με απεποιησαντο οταν αναστω κατ' εμου λαλουσιν |
| 19 They that were sometime my counsellors, have abhorred me: and he whom I love most is turned against me. | 19 εβδελυξαντο δε με οι ειδοτες με ους δη ηγαπηκειν επανεστησαν μοι |
| 20 The flesh being consumed. My bone hath cleaved to my skin, and nothing but lips are left about my teeth. | 20 εν δερματι μου εσαπησαν αι σαρκες μου τα δε οστα μου εν οδουσιν εχεται |
| 21 Have pity on me, have pity on me, at least you my friends, because the hand of the Lord hath touched me. | 21 ελεησατε με ελεησατε με ω φιλοι χειρ γαρ κυριου η αψαμενη μου εστιν |
| 22 Why do you persecute me as God, and glut yourselves with my flesh? | 22 δια τι δε με διωκετε ωσπερ και ο κυριος απο δε σαρκων μου ουκ εμπιπλασθε |
| 23 Who will grant me that my words may be written? Who will grant me that they may be marked down in a book? | 23 τις γαρ αν δωη γραφηναι τα ρηματα μου τεθηναι δε αυτα εν βιβλιω εις τον αιωνα |
| 24 With an iron pen and in a plate of lead, or else be graven with an instrument in flint stone. | 24 εν γραφειω σιδηρω και μολιβω η εν πετραις εγγλυφηναι |
| 25 For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and in the last day I shall rise out of the earth. | 25 οιδα γαρ οτι αεναος εστιν ο εκλυειν με μελλων επι γης |
| 26 And I shall be clothed again with my skin, and in my flesh I will see my God. | 26 αναστησαι το δερμα μου το ανατλων ταυτα παρα γαρ κυριου ταυτα μοι συνετελεσθη |
| 27 Whom I myself shall see, and my eyes shall behold, and not another: this my hope is laid up in my bosom. | 27 α εγω εμαυτω συνεπισταμαι α ο οφθαλμος μου εορακεν και ουκ αλλος παντα δε μοι συντετελεσται εν κολπω |
| 28 Why then do you say now: Let us persecute him, and let us find occasion of word against him? | 28 ει δε και ερειτε τι ερουμεν εναντι αυτου και ριζαν λογου ευρησομεν εν αυτω |
| 29 Flee then from the face of the sword, for the sword is the revenger of iniquities: and know ye that there is judgment. | 29 ευλαβηθητε δη και υμεις απο επικαλυμματος θυμος γαρ επ' ανομους επελευσεται και τοτε γνωσονται που εστιν αυτων η υλη |
