Job 38

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 Then the LORD addressed Job out of the storm and said:	1 μετα δε το παυσασθαι ελιουν της λεξεως ειπεν ο κυριος τω ιωβ δια λαιλαπος και νεφων
2 Who is this that obscures divine plans with words of ignorance?	2 τις ουτος ο κρυπτων με βουλην συνεχων δε ρηματα εν καρδια εμε δε οιεται κρυπτειν
3 Gird up your loins now, like a man; I will question you, and you tell me the answers!	3 ζωσαι ωσπερ ανηρ την οσφυν σου ερωτησω δε σε συ δε μοι αποκριθητι
4 Where were you when I founded the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding.	4 που ης εν τω θεμελιουν με την γην απαγγειλον δε μοι ει επιστη συνεσιν
5 Who determined its size; do you know? Who stretched out the measuring line for it?	5 τις εθετο τα μετρα αυτης ει οιδας η τις ο επαγαγων σπαρτιον επ' αυτης
6 Into what were its pedestals sunk, and who laid the cornerstone,	6 επι τινος οι κρικοι αυτης πεπηγασιν τις δε εστιν ο βαλων λιθον γωνιαιον επ' αυτης
7 While the morning stars sang in chorus and all the sons of God shouted for joy?	7 οτε εγενηθησαν αστρα ηνεσαν με φωνη μεγαλη παντες αγγελοι μου
8 And who shut within doors the sea, when it burst forth from the womb;	8 εφραξα δε θαλασσαν πυλαις οτε εμαιμασσεν εκ κοιλιας μητρος αυτης εκπορευομενη
9 When I made the clouds its garment and thick darkness its swaddling bands?	9 εθεμην δε αυτη νεφος αμφιασιν ομιχλη δε αυτην εσπαργανωσα
10 When I set limits for it and fastened the bar of its door,	10 εθεμην δε αυτη ορια περιθεις κλειθρα και πυλας
11 And said: Thus far shall you come but no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stilled!	11 ειπα δε αυτη μεχρι τουτου ελευση και ουχ υπερβηση αλλ' εν σεαυτη συντριβησεται σου τα κυματα
12 Have you ever in your lifetime commanded the morning and shown the dawn its place	12 η επι σου συντεταχα φεγγος πρωινον εωσφορος δε ειδεν την εαυτου ταξιν
13 For taking hold of the ends of the earth, till the wicked are shaken from its surface?	13 επιλαβεσθαι πτερυγων γης εκτιναξαι ασεβεις εξ αυτης
14 The earth is changed as is clay by the seal, and dyed as though it were a garment;	14 η συ λαβων γην πηλον επλασας ζωον και λαλητον αυτον εθου επι γης
15 But from the wicked the light is withheld, and the arm of pride is shattered.	15 αφειλας δε απο ασεβων το φως βραχιονα δε υπερηφανων συνετριψας
16 Have you entered into the sources of the sea, or walked about in the depths of the abyss?	16 ηλθες δε επι πηγην θαλασσης εν δε ιχνεσιν αβυσσου περιεπατησας
17 Have the gates of death been shown to you, or have you seen the gates of darkness?	17 ανοιγονται δε σοι φοβω πυλαι θανατου πυλωροι δε αδου ιδοντες σε επτηξαν
18 Have you comprehended the breadth of the earth? Tell me, if you know all:	18 νενουθετησαι δε το ευρος της υπ' ουρανον αναγγειλον δη μοι ποση τις εστιν
19 Which is the way to the dwelling place of light, and where is the abode of darkness,	19 ποια δε γη αυλιζεται το φως σκοτους δε ποιος ο τοπος
20 That you may take them to their boundaries and set them on their homeward paths?	20 ει αγαγοις με εις ορια αυτων ει δε και επιστασαι τριβους αυτων
21 You know, because you were born before them, and the number of your years is great!	21 οιδα αρα οτι τοτε γεγεννησαι αριθμος δε ετων σου πολυς
22 Have you entered the storehouse of the snow, and seen the treasury of the hail	22 ηλθες δε επι θησαυρους χιονος θησαυρους δε χαλαζης εορακας
23 Which I have reserved for times of stress, for the days of war and of battle?	23 αποκειται δε σοι εις ωραν εχθρων εις ημεραν πολεμου και μαχης
24 Which way to the parting of the winds, whence the east wind spreads over the earth?	24 ποθεν δε εκπορευεται παχνη η διασκεδαννυται νοτος εις την υπ' ουρανον
25 Who has laid out a channel for the downpour and for the thunderstorm a path	25 τις δε ητοιμασεν υετω λαβρω ρυσιν οδον δε κυδοιμων
26 To bring rain to no man's land, the unpeopled wilderness;	26 του υετισαι επι γην ου ουκ ανηρ ερημον ου ουχ υπαρχει ανθρωπος εν αυτη
27 To enrich the waste and desolate ground till the desert blooms with verdure?	27 του χορτασαι αβατον και αοικητον και του εκβλαστησαι εξοδον χλοης
28 Has the rain a father; or who has begotten the drops of dew?	28 τις εστιν υετου πατηρ τις δε εστιν ο τετοκως βωλους δροσου
29 Out of whose womb comes the ice, and who gives the hoarfrost its birth in the skies,	29 εκ γαστρος δε τινος εκπορευεται ο κρυσταλλος παχνην δε εν ουρανω τις τετοκεν
30 When the waters lie covered as though with stone that holds captive the surface of the deep?	30 η καταβαινει ωσπερ υδωρ ρεον προσωπον δε αβυσσου τις επηξεν
31 Have you fitted a curb to the Pleiades, or loosened the bonds of Orion?	31 συνηκας δε δεσμον πλειαδος και φραγμον ωριωνος ηνοιξας
32 Can you bring forth the Mazzaroth in their season, or guide the Bear with its train?	32 η διανοιξεις μαζουρωθ εν καιρω αυτου και εσπερον επι κομης αυτου αξεις αυτα
33 Do you know the ordinances of the heavens; can you put into effect their plan on the earth?	33 επιστασαι δε τροπας ουρανου η τα υπ' ουρανον ομοθυμαδον γινομενα
34 Can you raise your voice among the clouds, or veil yourself in the waters of the storm?	34 καλεσεις δε νεφος φωνη και τρομω υδατος λαβρω υπακουσεται σου
35 Can you send forth the lightnings on their way, or will they say to you, "Here we are"?	35 αποστελεις δε κεραυνους και πορευσονται ερουσιν δε σοι τι εστιν
36 Who puts wisdom in the heart, and gives the cock its understanding?	36 τις δε εδωκεν γυναιξιν υφασματος σοφιαν η ποικιλτικην επιστημην
37 Who counts the clouds in his wisdom? Or who tilts the water jars of heaven	37 τις δε ο αριθμων νεφη σοφια ουρανον δε εις γην εκλινεν
38 So that the dust of earth is fused into a mass and its clods made solid?	38 κεχυται δε ωσπερ γη κονια κεκολληκα δε αυτον ωσπερ λιθω κυβον
39 Do you hunt the prey for the lioness or appease the hunger of her cubs,	39 θηρευσεις δε λεουσιν βοραν ψυχας δε δρακοντων εμπλησεις
40 While they crouch in their dens, or lie in wait in the thicket?	40 δεδοικασιν γαρ εν κοιταις αυτων καθηνται δε εν υλαις ενεδρευοντες
41 Who provides nourishment for the ravens when their young ones cry out to God, and they rove abroad without food?	41 τις δε ητοιμασεν κορακι βοραν νεοσσοι γαρ αυτου προς κυριον κεκραγασιν πλανωμενοι τα σιτα ζητουντες
