Job 42

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 This was the answer Job gave to Yahweh:	1 Τοτε απεκριθη ο Ιωβ προς τον Κυριον και ειπεν?
2 I know that you are al -powerful: what you conceive, you can perform.	2 Εξευρω οτι δυνασαι τα παντα, και ουδεις στοχασμος σου δυναται να εμποδισθη.
3 I was the man who misrepresented your intentions with my ignorant words. You have told me aboutgreat works that I cannot understand, about marvels which are beyond me, of which I know nothing.	3 Τις ουτος ο κρυπτων την βουλην ασυνετως; Εγω λοιπον προεφερα εκεινο, το οποιον δεν ενοουν. Πραγματα υπερθαυμαστα δι' εμε, τα οποια δεν εγνωριζον.
4 (Listen, please, and let me speak: I am going to ask the questions, and you are to inform me.)	4 Ακουσον, δεομαι? και εγω θελω λαλησει? θελω σε ερωτησει, και συ διδαξον με.
5 Before, I knew you only by hearsay but now, having seen you with my own eyes,	5 Ηκουον περι σου με την ακοην του ωτιου, αλλα τωρα ο οφθαλμος μου σε βλεπει?
6 I retract what I have said, and repent in dust and ashes.	6 δια τουτο βδελυττομαι εμαυτον, και μετανοω εν χωματι και σποδω.
7 When Yahweh had finished saying this to Job, he said to Eliphaz of Teman, 'I burn with anger against you and your two friends, for not having spoken correctly about me as my servant Job has done.	7 Αφου δε ο Κυριος ελαλησε τους λογους τουτους προς τον Ιωβ, ειπεν ο Κυριος προς Ελιφας τον Θαιμανιτην, Ο θυμος μου εξηφθη κατα σου και κατα των δυο φιλων σου? διοτι δεν ελαλησατε περι εμου το ορθον ως ο δουλος μου Ιωβ?
8 So now find seven bul ocks and seven rams, and take them back with you to my servant Job andmake a burnt offering for yourselves, while Job, my servant, offers prayers for you. I shal show him favour andshall not inflict my displeasure on you for not having spoken about me correctly, as my servant Job has done.'	8 δια τουτο λαβετε τωρα εις εαυτους επτα μοσχους και επτα κριους και υπαγετε προς τον δουλον μου Ιωβ, και προσφερετε ολοκαυτωμα υπερ εαυτων? ο δε Ιωβ ο δουλος μου θελει ικετευσει υπερ υμων? διοτι θελω δεχθη το προσωπον αυτου? δια να μη πραξω με σας κατα την αφροσυνην σας? διοτι δεν ελαλησατε περι εμου το ορθον ως ο δουλος μου Ιωβ.
9 Eliphaz of Teman, Bildad of Shuah and Zophar of Naamath went away to do as Yahweh had ordered,and Yahweh listened to Job with favour.	9 Και υπηγον Ελιφας ο Θαιμανιτης και Βιλδαδ ο Σαυχιτης και Σωφαρ ο Νααμαθιτης, και εκαμον ως προσεταξεν εις αυτους ο Κυριος? ο δε Κυριος εδεχθη το προσωπον του Ιωβ.
10 And Yahweh restored Job's condition, while Job was interceding for his friends. More than that,Yahweh gave him double what he had before.	10 Και εστρεψεν ο Κυριος την αιχμαλωσιαν του Ιωβ, αφου προσηυχηθη υπερ των φιλων αυτου? και εδωκεν ο Κυριος εις τον Ιωβ διπλασια παντων των οσα ειχε προτερον.
11 And al his brothers and all his sisters and al his friends of former times came to see him. Over dinnerin his house, they showed their sympathy and comforted him for al the evils Yahweh had inflicted on him. Eachof them gave him a silver coin, and each a gold ring.	11 Τοτε ηλθον προς αυτον παντες οι αδελφοι αυτου και πασαι αι αδελφαι αυτου και παντες οι γνωριζοντες αυτον προτερον, και εφαγον αρτον μετ' αυτου εν τω οικω αυτου? και συνεκλαυσαν με αυτον και παρηγορησαν αυτον περι παντος του κακου, το οποιον ο Κυριος επεφερεν επ' αυτον? και εδωκαν εκαστος εις αυτον εν αργυριον και εκαστος εν χρυσουν ενωτιον.
12 Yahweh blessed Job's latter condition even more than his former one. He came to own fourteenthousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand she-donkeys.	12 Και ευλογησεν ο Κυριος τα εσχατα του Ιωβ μαλλον παρα τα πρωτα? ωστε απεκτησε δεκατεσσαρας χιλιαδας προβατων και εξακισχιλιας καμηλους και χιλια ζευγη βοων και χιλιας ονους.
13 He had seven sons and three daughters;	13 Εγεννηθησαν ετι εις αυτον επτα υιοι και τρεις θυγατερες?
14 his first daughter he cal ed 'Turtledove', the second 'Cassia' and the third 'Mascara'.	14 και εκαλεσε το ονομα της πρωτης Ιεμιμα? και το ονομα της δευτερας Κεσια? και το ονομα της τριτης Κερεν-αππουχ?
15 Throughout the land there were no women as beautiful as the daughters of Job. And their father gavethem inheritance rights like their brothers.	15 και δεν ευρισκοντο εφ' ολης της γης γυναικες ωραιαι ως αι θυγατερες του Ιωβ? και ο πατηρ αυτων εδωκεν εις αυτας κληρονομιαν μεταξυ των αδελφων αυτων.
16 After this, Job lived for another one hundred and forty years, and saw his children and his children'schildren to the fourth generation.	16 Μετα ταυτα εζησεν ο Ιωβ εκατον τεσσαρακοντα ετη, και ειδε τους υιους αυτου και τους υιους των υιων αυτου, τεταρτην γενεαν.
17 Then, old and ful of days, Job died.	17 και ετελευτησεν ο Ιωβ, γερων και πληρης ημερων.
