| 1 And Job answered, and said: | 1 υπολαβων δε ιωβ λεγει |
| 2 Indeed I know it is so, and that man cannot be justified compared with | 2 επ' αληθειας οιδα οτι ουτως εστιν πως γαρ εσται δικαιος βροτος παρα κυριω |
| 3 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one for a thousand. | 3 εαν γαρ βουληται κριθηναι αυτω ου μη υπακουση αυτω ινα μη αντειπη προς ενα λογον αυτου εκ χιλιων |
| 4 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath resisted him, and hath had peace ? | 4 σοφος γαρ εστιν διανοια κραταιος τε και μεγας τις σκληρος γενομενος εναντιον αυτου υπεμεινεν |
| 5 Who hath removed mountains, and they whom he overthrew in his wrath, knew it not. | 5 ο παλαιων ορη και ουκ οιδασιν ο καταστρεφων αυτα οργη |
| 6 Who shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble. | 6 ο σειων την υπ' ουρανον εκ θεμελιων οι δε στυλοι αυτης σαλευονται |
| 7 Who commandeth tile sun and it riseth not: and shutteth up the stars as it were under a seal: | 7 ο λεγων τω ηλιω και ουκ ανατελλει κατα δε αστρων κατασφραγιζει |
| 8 Who alone spreadeth out the heavens, and walketh upon the waves of the sea. | 8 ο τανυσας τον ουρανον μονος και περιπατων ως επ' εδαφους επι θαλασσης |
| 9 Who maketh Arcturus, and Orion, and Hyades, and the inner parts of the south. | 9 ο ποιων πλειαδα και εσπερον και αρκτουρον και ταμιεια νοτου |
| 10 Who doth things great and incomprehensible, and wonderful, of which there is no number. | 10 ο ποιων μεγαλα και ανεξιχνιαστα ενδοξα τε και εξαισια ων ουκ εστιν αριθμος |
| 11 If he come to me, I shall not see him: if he depart I shall not understand. | 11 εαν υπερβη με ου μη ιδω και εαν παρελθη με ουδ' ως εγνων |
| 12 If he examine on a sudden, who shall answer him? or who can say: Why dost thou so? | 12 εαν απαλλαξη τις αποστρεψει η τις ερει αυτω τι εποιησας |
| 13 God, whose wrath no mall can resist, and under whom they stoop that bear up the world. | 13 αυτος γαρ απεστραπται οργην υπ' αυτου εκαμφθησαν κητη τα υπ' ουρανον |
| 14 What am I then, that I should answer him, and have words with him? | 14 εαν δε μου υπακουσηται η διακρινει τα ρηματα μου |
| 15 I, who although I should have any just thing, would not answer, but would make supplication to my judge. | 15 εαν τε γαρ ω δικαιος ουκ εισακουσεται μου του κριματος αυτου δεηθησομαι |
| 16 And if he should hear me when I call, I should not believe that he had heard my voice. | 16 εαν τε καλεσω και υπακουση ου πιστευω οτι εισακηκοεν μου |
| 17 For he shall crush me in a whirlwind, and multiply my wounds even without cause. | 17 μη γνοφω με εκτριψη πολλα δε μου τα συντριμματα πεποιηκεν δια κενης |
| 18 He alloweth not my spirit to rest, and he filleth me with bitterness. | 18 ουκ εα γαρ με αναπνευσαι ενεπλησεν δε με πικριας |
| 19 If strength be demanded, he is most strong: if equity of judgment, no man dare bear witness for me. | 19 οτι μεν γαρ ισχυι κρατει τις ουν κριματι αυτου αντιστησεται |
| 20 If I would justify myself, my own mouth shall condemn me: if I would shew myself innocent, he shall prove me wicked. | 20 εαν γαρ ω δικαιος το στομα μου ασεβησει εαν τε ω αμεμπτος σκολιος αποβησομαι |
| 21 Although I should be simple, even this my soul shall be ignorant of, and I shall be weary of my life. | 21 ειτε γαρ ησεβησα ουκ οιδα τη ψυχη πλην οτι αφαιρειται μου η ζωη |
| 22 One thing there is that I have spoken, both the innocent and the wicked he consumeth. | 22 διο ειπον μεγαν και δυναστην απολλυει οργη |
| 23 If he scourge, let him kill at once, and not laugh at the pains of the innocent. | 23 οτι φαυλοι εν θανατω εξαισιω αλλα δικαιοι καταγελωνται |
| 24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked, he covereth the face of the judges thereof: and if it be not he, who is it then? | 24 παραδεδονται γαρ εις χειρας ασεβους προσωπα κριτων αυτης συγκαλυπτει ει δε μη αυτος τις εστιν |
| 25 My days have been swifter than a post: they have fled away and have not seen good. | 25 ο δε βιος μου εστιν ελαφροτερος δρομεως απεδρασαν και ουκ ειδοσαν |
| 26 They have passed by as ships carrying fruits, as an eagle flying to the prey. | 26 η και εστιν ναυσιν ιχνος οδου η αετου πετομενου ζητουντος βοραν |
| 27 If I say: I will not speak so: I change my face, and am tormented with sorrow. | 27 εαν τε γαρ ειπω επιλησομαι λαλων συγκυψας τω προσωπω στεναξω |
| 28 I feared all my works, knowing that thou didst not spare the offender. | 28 σειομαι πασιν τοις μελεσιν οιδα γαρ οτι ουκ αθωον με εασεις |
| 29 But if so also I am wicked, why have I laboured in vain? | 29 επειδη δε ειμι ασεβης δια τι ουκ απεθανον |
| 30 If I be washed as it were with snow waters, and my hands shall shine ever so clean : | 30 εαν γαρ απολουσωμαι χιονι και αποκαθαρωμαι χερσιν καθαραις |
| 31 Yet thou shalt plunge me in filth, and my garments shall abhor me, | 31 ικανως εν ρυπω με εβαψας εβδελυξατο δε με η στολη |
| 32 For I shall not answer a man that is like myself: nor one that may be heard with me equally in judgment. | 32 ου γαρ ει ανθρωπος κατ' εμε ω αντικρινουμαι ινα ελθωμεν ομοθυμαδον εις κρισιν |
| 33 There is none that may be able to reprove both, and to put his hand between both. | 33 ειθε ην ο μεσιτης ημων και ελεγχων και διακουων ανα μεσον αμφοτερων |
| 34 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me. | 34 απαλλαξατω απ' εμου την ραβδον ο δε φοβος αυτου μη με στροβειτω |
| 35 I will speak, and will not fear him: for I cannot answer while I am in fear. | 35 και ου μη φοβηθω αλλα λαλησω ου γαρ ουτω συνεπισταμαι |
