ΙΩΒ - Giobbe - Job 9

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