Job 1

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 In the land of Uz there was a blameless and upright man named Job, who feared God and avoided evil.	1 Ανθρωπος τις ητο εν τη γη της Αυσιτιδος ονομαζομενος Ιωβ? και ο ανθρωπος ουτος ητο αμεμπτος και ευθυς και φοβουμενος τον Θεον και απεχομενος απο κακου.
2 Seven sons and three daughters were born to him;	2 Και εγεννηθησαν εις αυτον επτα υιοι και τρεις θυγατερες.
3 and he had seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she-asses, and a great number of work animals, so that he was greater than any of the men of the East.	3 Και ησαν τα κτηνη αυτου επτακισχιλια προβατα και τρισχιλιαι καμηλοι και πεντακοσια ζευγη βοων και πεντακοσιαι ονοι και πληθος πολυ υπηρετων? και ητο ο ανθρωπος εκεινος ο μεγαλητερος παντων των κατοικων της Ανατολης.
4 His sons used to take turns giving feasts, sending invitations to their three sisters to eat and drink with them.	4 Και υπηγαινον οι υιοι αυτου και εκαμνον συμποσια εν ταις οικιαις αυτων, εκαστος κατα την ημεραν αυτου, και εστελλον και προσεκαλουν τας τρεις αδελφας αυτων δια να τρωγωσι και να πινωσι μετ' αυτων.
5 And when each feast had run its course, Job would send for them and sanctify them, rising early and offering holocausts for every one of them. For Job said, "It may be that my sons have sinned and blasphemed God in their hearts." This Job did habitually.	5 Και οτε ετελειονον αι ημεραι του συμποσιου, εστελλεν ο Ιωβ και ηγιαζεν αυτους, και εξεγειρομενος πρωι προσεφερεν ολοκαυτωματα κατα τον αριθμον παντων αυτων? διοτι ελεγεν ο Ιωβ, Μηπως οι υιοι μου ημαρτησαν και εβλασφημησαν τον Θεον εν τη καρδια αυτων. Ουτως εκαμνεν ο Ιωβ, παντοτε.
6 One day, when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, Satan also came among them.	6 Ημεραν δε τινα ηλθον οι υιοι του Θεου δια να παρασταθωσιν ενωπιον του Κυριου, και μεταξυ αυτων ηλθε και ο Σατανας.
7 And the LORD said to Satan, "Whence do you come?" Then Satan answered the LORD and said, "From roaming the earth and patrolling it."	7 Και ειπεν ο Κυριος προς τον Σαταναν, Ποθεν ερχεσαι; Και ο Σατανας απεκριθη προς τον Κυριον και ειπε, Περιελθων την γην και εμπεριπατησας εν αυτη παρειμι.
8 And the LORD said to Satan, "Have you noticed my servant Job, and that there is no one on earth like him, blameless and upright, fearing God and avoiding evil?"	8 Και ειπεν ο Κυριος προς τον Σαταναν, Εβαλες τον νουν σου επι τον δουλον μου Ιωβ, οτι δεν υπαρχει ομοιος αυτου εν τη γη, ανθρωπος αμεμπτος και ευθυς, φοβουμενος τον Θεον και απεχομενος απο κακου;
9 But Satan answered the LORD and said, "Is it for nothing that Job is God-fearing?	9 Και απεκριθη ο Σατανας προς τον Κυριον και ειπε, Μηπως δωρεαν φοβειται ο Ιωβ τον Θεον;
10 Have you not surrounded him and his family and all that he has with your protection? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his livestock are spread over the land.	10 δεν περιεφραξας κυκλοθεν αυτον και την οικιαν αυτου και παντα οσα εχει; τα εργα των χειρων αυτου ευλογησας, και τα κτηνη αυτου επληθυνθησαν επι της γης?
11 But now put forth your hand and touch anything that he has, and surely he will blaspheme you to your face."	11 πλην τωρα εκτεινον την χειρα σου και εγγισον παντα οσα εχει, δια να ιδης εαν δεν σε βλασφημηση κατα προσωπον.
12 And the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand upon his person." So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.	12 Και ειπεν ο Κυριος προς τον Σαταναν, Ιδου, εις την χειρα σου παντα οσα εχει? μονον επ' αυτον μη επιβαλης την χειρα σου. Και εξηλθεν ο Σατανας απ' εμπροσθεν του Κυριου.
13 And so one day, while his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their eldest brother,	13 Ημεραν δε τινα οι υιοι αυτου και αι θυγατερες αυτου ετρωγον και επινον οινον εν τη οικια του αδελφου αυτων του πρωτοτοκου.
14 a messenger came to Job and said, "The oxen were plowing and the asses grazing beside them,	14 Και ηλθε μηνυτης προς τον Ιωβ και ειπεν, Οι βοες ηροτριαζον και αι ονοι εβοσκον πλησιον αυτων?
15 and the Sabeans carried them off in a raid. They put the herdsmen to the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you."	15 και επεπεσαν οι Σαβαιοι και ηρπασαν αυτα? και τους δουλους επαταξαν εν στοματι μαχαιρας? και εγω μονος διεσωθην δια να σοι απαγγειλω.
16 While he was yet speaking, another came and said, "Lightning has fallen from heaven and struck the sheep and their shepherds and consumed them; and I alone have escaped to tell you."	16 Ενω ουτος ετι ελαλει, ηλθε και αλλος και ειπε, Πυρ Θεου επεσεν εξ ουρανου και εκαυσε τα προβατα και τους δουλους και κατεφαγεν αυτους? και εγω μονος διεσωθην δια να σοι απαγγειλω.
17 While he was yet speaking, another came and said, "The Chaldeans formed three columns, seized the camels, carried them off, and put those tending them to the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you."	17 Ενω ουτος ετι ελαλει, ηλθε και αλλος και ειπεν, Οι Χαλδαιοι εκαμον τρεις λοχους και εφωρμησαν εις τας καμηλους και ηρπασαν αυτας? και τους δουλους επαταξαν εν στοματι μαχαιρας? και εγω μονος διεσωθην δια να σοι απαγγειλω.
18 While he was yet speaking, another came and said, "Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their eldest brother,	18 Ενω ουτος ετι ελαλει, ηλθε και αλλος και ειπεν, Οι υιοι σου και αι θυγατερες σου ετρωγον και επινον οινον εν τη οικια του αδελφου αυτων του πρωτοτοκου?
19 when suddenly a great wind came across the desert and smote the four corners of the house. It fell upon the young people and they are dead; and I alone have escaped to tell you."	19 και ιδου, ηλθε μεγας ανεμος εκ του περαν της ερημου και προσεβαλε τας τεσσαρας γωνιας του οικου και επεσεν επι τα παιδια, και απεθανον? και εγω μονος διεσωθην δια να σοι απαγγειλω.
20 Then Job began to tear his cloak and cut off his hair. He cast himself prostrate upon the ground,	20 Τοτε σηκωθεις ο Ιωβ διεσχισε το επενδυμα αυτου και εξυρισε την κεφαλην αυτου και επεσεν επι την γην και προσεκυνησε,
21 and said, "Naked I came forth from my mother's womb, and naked shall I go back again. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD!"	21 και ειπε, Γυμνος εξηλθον εκ κοιλιας μητρος μου και γυμνος θελω επιστρεψει εκει? ο Κυριος εδωκε και ο Κυριος αφηρεσεν? ειη το ονομα Κυριου ευλογημενον.
22 In all this Job did not sin, nor did he say anything disrespectful of God.	22 Εν πασι τουτοις δεν ημαρτησεν ο Ιωβ και δεν εδωκεν αφροσυνην εις τον Θεον.
