Job 1

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 In the land of Uz there was a blameless and upright man named Job, who feared God and avoided evil.	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
2 Seven sons and three daughters were born to him;	2 εγενοντο δε αυτω υιοι επτα και θυγατερες τρεις
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 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
4 His sons used to take turns giving feasts, sending invitations to their three sisters to eat and drink with them.	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
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 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
6 One day, when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, Satan also came among them.	6 και ως εγενετο η ημερα αυτη και ιδου ηλθον οι αγγελοι του θεου παραστηναι ενωπιον του κυριου και ο διαβολος ηλθεν μετ' αυτων
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 τω διαβολω ποθεν παραγεγονας και αποκριθεις ο διαβολος τω κυριω ειπεν περιελθων την γην και εμπεριπατησας την υπ' ουρανον 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 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
9 But Satan answered the LORD and said, "Is it for nothing that Job is God-fearing?	9 απεκριθη δε ο διαβολος και ειπεν εναντιον του κυριου μη δωρεαν σεβεται 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 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
11 But now put forth your hand and touch anything that he has, and surely he will blaspheme you to your face."	11 αλλα αποστειλον την χειρα σου και αψαι παντων ων εχει ει μην εις προσωπον σε ευλογησει
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 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
13 And so one day, while his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their eldest brother,	13 και ην ως η ημερα αυτη οι υιοι ιωβ και αι θυγατερες αυτου επινον οινον εν τη οικια του αδελφου αυτων του πρεσβυτερου
14 a messenger came to Job and said, "The oxen were plowing and the asses grazing beside them,	14 και ιδου αγγελος ηλθεν προς ιωβ και ειπεν αυτω τα ζευγη των βοων ηροτρια και αι θηλειαι ονοι εβοσκοντο εχομεναι 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 ελθοντες οι αιχμαλωτευοντες ηχμαλωτευσαν αυτας και τους παιδας απεκτειναν εν μαχαιραις σωθεις δε εγω μονος ηλθον του απαγγειλαι σοι
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 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
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 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
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 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
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 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
20 Then Job began to tear his cloak and cut off his hair. He cast himself prostrate upon the ground,	20 ουτως αναστας ιωβ διερρηξεν τα ιματια αυτου και εκειρατο την κομην της κεφαλης αυτου και πεσων χαμαι προσεκυνησεν και ειπεν
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 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
22 In all this Job did not sin, nor did he say anything disrespectful of God.	22 εν τουτοις πασιν τοις συμβεβηκοσιν αυτω ουδεν ημαρτεν ιωβ εναντιον του κυριου και ουκ εδωκεν αφροσυνην τω θεω
