ΙΩΒ - Giobbe - Job 1

LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ανθρωπος τις ην εν χωρα τη αυσιτιδι ω ονομα ιωβ και ην ο ανθρωπος εκεινος αληθινος αμεμπτος δικαιος θεοσεβης απεχομενος απο παντος πονηρου πραγματος	1 There was a man in the land of Uz named Job, and he was a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil.
2 εγενοντο δε αυτω υιοι επτα και θυγατερες τρεις	2 And there had been born to him seven sons and three daughters.
3 και ην τα κτηνη αυτου προβατα επτακισχιλια καμηλοι τρισχιλιαι ζευγη βοων πεντακοσια ονοι θηλειαι νομαδες πεντακοσιαι και υπηρεσια πολλη σφοδρα και εργα μεγαλα ην αυτω επι της γης και ην ο ανθρωπος εκεινος ευγενης των αφ' ηλιου ανατολων	3 And his possession was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, along with five hundred pairs of oxen and five hundred she-donkeys, and also a very large family. And this man was great among all the people of the east.
4 συμπορευομενοι δε οι υιοι αυτου προς αλληλους εποιουσαν ποτον καθ' εκαστην ημεραν συμπαραλαμβανοντες αμα και τας τρεις αδελφας αυτων εσθιειν και πινειν μετ' αυτων	4 And his sons went and made a feast by houses, each one on his day. And sending, they called their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
5 και ως αν συνετελεσθησαν αι ημεραι του ποτου απεστελλεν ιωβ και εκαθαριζεν αυτους ανισταμενος το πρωι και προσεφερεν περι αυτων θυσιας κατα τον αριθμον αυτων και μοσχον ενα περι αμαρτιας περι των ψυχων αυτων ελεγεν γαρ ιωβ μηποτε οι υιοι μου εν τη διανοια αυτων κακα ενενοησαν προς θεον ουτως ουν εποιει ιωβ πασας τας ημερας	5 And when the days of their feasting had been completed, Job sent to them and sanctified them, and, getting up at dawn, he offered holocausts for each one. For he said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned and have not praised God in their hearts.” So Job did all the days.
6 και ως εγενετο η ημερα αυτη και ιδου ηλθον οι αγγελοι του θεου παραστηναι ενωπιον του κυριου και ο διαβολος ηλθεν μετ' αυτων	6 But on a certain day, when the sons of God came to attend in the presence of the Lord, Satan also arrived among them.
7 και ειπεν ο κυριος τω διαβολω ποθεν παραγεγονας και αποκριθεις ο διαβολος τω κυριω ειπεν περιελθων την γην και εμπεριπατησας την υπ' ουρανον παρειμι	7 The Lord said to him, “Where do you come from?” Answering, he said, “I have circled the land, and walked around in it.”
8 και ειπεν αυτω ο κυριος προσεσχες τη διανοια σου κατα του παιδος μου ιωβ οτι ουκ εστιν κατ' αυτον των επι της γης ανθρωπος αμεμπτος αληθινος θεοσεβης απεχομενος απο παντος πονηρου πραγματος	8 And the Lord said to him, “Have you not considered my servant, Job? For there is no one like him in the land, a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil.”
9 απεκριθη δε ο διαβολος και ειπεν εναντιον του κυριου μη δωρεαν σεβεται ιωβ τον θεον	9 Answering him, Satan said, “Does Job fear God to no purpose?
10 ου συ περιεφραξας τα εξω αυτου και τα εσω της οικιας αυτου και τα εξω παντων των οντων αυτω κυκλω τα εργα των χειρων αυτου ευλογησας και τα κτηνη αυτου πολλα εποιησας επι της γης	10 Have you not fortified him, as well as his house and every one of his belongings around him, blessed the works of his hands, and his possession has increased in the land?
11 αλλα αποστειλον την χειρα σου και αψαι παντων ων εχει ει μην εις προσωπον σε ευλογησει	11 But extend your hand a little, and touch all that he possesses, and see if he still praises you to your face.”
12 τοτε ειπεν ο κυριος τω διαβολω ιδου παντα οσα εστιν αυτω διδωμι εν τη χειρι σου αλλα αυτου μη αψη και εξηλθεν ο διαβολος παρα του κυριου	12 Therefore, the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, everything that he has is in your hand, only do not extend your hand against him.” And Satan departed from the face of the Lord.
13 και ην ως η ημερα αυτη οι υιοι ιωβ και αι θυγατερες αυτου επινον οινον εν τη οικια του αδελφου αυτων του πρεσβυτερου	13 So, on a certain day, when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine, in the house of their first-born brother,
14 και ιδου αγγελος ηλθεν προς ιωβ και ειπεν αυτω τα ζευγη των βοων ηροτρια και αι θηλειαι ονοι εβοσκοντο εχομεναι αυτων	14 a messenger came to Job, who said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys were grazing beside them,
15 και ελθοντες οι αιχμαλωτευοντες ηχμαλωτευσαν αυτας και τους παιδας απεκτειναν εν μαχαιραις σωθεις δε εγω μονος ηλθον του απαγγειλαι σοι	15 and the Sabeans rushed in and carried away everything, and they struck the servants with the sword; and I alone evaded them to tell you.”
16 ετι τουτου λαλουντος ηλθεν ετερος αγγελος και ειπεν προς ιωβ πυρ επεσεν εκ του ουρανου και κατεκαυσεν τα προβατα και τους ποιμενας κατεφαγεν ομοιως και σωθεις εγω μονος ηλθον του απαγγειλαι σοι	16 And while he was still speaking, another arrived, and he said, “The fire of God fell from heaven, and, having struck the sheep and the servants, it consumed them; and I alone escaped to tell you.”
17 ετι τουτου λαλουντος ηλθεν ετερος αγγελος και ειπεν προς ιωβ οι ιππεις εποιησαν ημιν κεφαλας τρεις και εκυκλωσαν τας καμηλους και ηχμαλωτευσαν αυτας και τους παιδας απεκτειναν εν μαχαιραις εσωθην δε εγω μονος και ηλθον του απαγγειλαι σοι	17 And while he also was still speaking, another arrived, and he said, “The Chaldeans organized three attacks, and advanced on the camels and took them; and not only that, but they have struck the servants with the sword; and I alone fled to tell you.”
18 ετι τουτου λαλουντος αλλος αγγελος ερχεται λεγων τω ιωβ των υιων σου και των θυγατερων σου εσθιοντων και πινοντων παρα τω αδελφω αυτων τω πρεσβυτερω	18 He was still speaking, and behold, another entered, and he said, “Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine in the house of their first-born brother,
19 εξαιφνης πνευμα μεγα επηλθεν εκ της ερημου και ηψατο των τεσσαρων γωνιων της οικιας και επεσεν η οικια επι τα παιδια σου και ετελευτησαν εσωθην δε εγω μονος και ηλθον του απαγγειλαι σοι	19 when suddenly a severe wind rushed forth from a region of the desert and shook the four corners of the house, which collapsed and crushed your children, and they are dead; and I alone escaped to tell you.”
20 ουτως αναστας ιωβ διερρηξεν τα ιματια αυτου και εκειρατο την κομην της κεφαλης αυτου και πεσων χαμαι προσεκυνησεν και ειπεν	20 Then Job got up and tore his garments, and, having shaved his head, he collapsed on the ground, and worshipped,
21 αυτος γυμνος εξηλθον εκ κοιλιας μητρος μου γυμνος και απελευσομαι εκει ο κυριος εδωκεν ο κυριος αφειλατο ως τω κυριω εδοξεν ουτως και εγενετο ειη το ονομα κυριου ευλογημενον	21 and he said, “Naked I departed from my mother’s womb, and naked I shall return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away. Just as it pleased the Lord, so has it been done. Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
22 εν τουτοις πασιν τοις συμβεβηκοσιν αυτω ουδεν ημαρτεν ιωβ εναντιον του κυριου και ουκ εδωκεν αφροσυνην τω θεω	22 In all this, Job did not sin by his lips, nor did he speak any foolish thing against God.
