Job 4

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 But Eliphaz the Themanite, answering, said:	1 Τοτε Ελιφας ο Θαιμανιτης απεκριθη και ειπεν?
2 If we start to speak to you, perhaps you will take it badly, but who can hold back the words he has conceived?	2 Εαν επιχειρισθωμεν να λαλησωμεν προς σε, θελεις δυσαρεστηθη; αλλα τις δυναται να κρατηθη απο του να ομιληση;
3 Behold, you have taught many, and you have strengthened weary hands.	3 Ιδου, συ ενουθετησας πολλους? και χειρας αδυνατους ενισχυσας.
4 Your words have reassured the wavering, and you have fortified the trembling knees.	4 Οι λογοι σου υπεστηριξαν τους κλονιζομενους, και γονατα καμπτοντα ενεδυναμωσας.
5 But now the scourge has overcome you, and you falter. It has touched you, and you are disturbed.	5 Τωρα δε ηλθεν επι σε τουτο, και βαρυθυμεις? σε εγγιζει, και ταραττεσαι.
6 Where is your reverence, your fortitude, your patience, and the perfection of your ways?	6 Ο φοβος σου δεν ειναι το θαρρος σου, και η ευθυτης των οδων σου η ελπις σου;
7 Consider this, I beg you: who ever perished being innocent? Or when have the righteous been destroyed?	7 Ενθυμηθητι, παρακαλω? τις αθωος ων απωλεσθη; και που εξωλοθρευθησαν οι ευθεις;
8 In fact, I have instead seen those who work iniquity and who sow resentments, reap them,	8 Καθως εγω ειδον, οσοι ηροτριασαν ανομιαν και εσπειραν ασεβειαν, θεριζουσιν αυτας?
9 perishing by the breath of God, and being consumed by the wrath of his spirit.	9 εξολοθρευονται υπο του φυσηματος του Θεου, και απο της πνοης των μυκτηρων αυτου αφανιζονται?
10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the lioness, and the teeth of young lions have been worn away.	10 ο βρυγμος του λεοντος και η φωνη του αγριου λεοντος και το γαυριαμα των σκυμνων, εσβεσθησαν?
11 The tiger has perished because it does not have prey, and the young lions have been scattered.	11 ο λεων απολλυται δι' ελλειψιν θηραματος, και οι σκυμνοι της λεαινας διασκορπιζονται.
12 Furthermore, a word was spoken to me in secret, and, as if by theft, my ears received the pulse of its whisper.	12 Και λογος ηλθεν επ' εμε κρυφιως, και το ωτιον μου ελαβε τι παρ' αυτου.
13 In the horror of a vision by night, when men are accustomed to be overtaken by a deep sleep,	13 Εν μεσω των στοχασμων δια τα οραματα της νυκτος, οτε βαθυς υπνος πιπτει επι τους ανθρωπους,
14 fear and trembling seized me and all my bones were terrified.	14 Φρικη συνελαβε με και τρομος, και μεγαλως τα οστα μου συνεσεισε.
15 And when a spirit passed before me, the hair on my body stood up.	15 Και πνευμα διηλθεν απ' εμπροσθεν μου, αι τριχες του σωματος μου ανεσηκωθησαν?
16 There appeared an image before my eyes, someone whose face I did not recognize, and I heard a voice like a gentle breeze.	16 εσταθη, αλλ' εγω δεν διεκρινα την μορφην αυτου? σχημα εφανη εμπροσθεν των οφθαλμων μου? ηκουσα λεπτον φυσημα και φωνην λεγουσαν,
17 Should man be justified in relation to God, or will a man be more pure than his Maker?	17 Ο ανθρωπος θελει εισθαι δικαιοτερος του Θεου; θελει εισθαι ο ανθρωπος καθαρωτερος του Ποιητου αυτου;
18 Behold, those who serve him are not steadfast, and in his angels he finds imperfection.	18 Ιδου, αυτος δεν εμπιστευεται εις τους δουλους αυτου, και εν τοις αγγελοις αυτου βλεπει ελαττωμα?
19 How much more will those who live in houses of clay, which have an earthly foundation, be consumed like the moth?	19 ποσω μαλλον εις τους κατοικουντας οικιας πηλινας, αιτινες εχουσι το θεμελιον αυτων εν τω χωματι και αφανιζονται εμπροσθεν του σαρακιου;
20 From morning all the way to evening, they will be cut down, and because no one understands, they will be destroyed without ceasing.	20 Απο πρωι εως εσπερας φθειρονται? χωρις να νοηση τις, αφανιζονται δια παντος.
21 But those who are left behind will be taken away from them; they will die, and not in wisdom.	21 Το μεγαλειον αυτων το εν αυτοις δεν παρερχεται; Αποθνησκουσιν, αλλ' ουχι εν σοφια.
