ΙΩΒ - Giobbe - Job 39

GREEK BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Γνωριζεις τον καιρον του τοκετου των αγριων αιγων του βραχου; δυνασαι να σημειωσης ποτε γεννωσιν αι ελαφοι;	1 Do you know when mountain goats give birth? Have you ever watched deer in labour?
2 Δυνασαι να αριθμησης τους μηνας τους οποιους πληρουσιν; η γνωριζεις τον καιρον του τοκετου αυτων;	2 Have you ever counted the months that they carry their young? Do you know when they give birth?
3 Αυται συγκαμπτονται, γεννωσι τα παιδια αυτων, ελευθερονονται απο των ωδινων αυτων.	3 They crouch to drop their young, they get rid of their burdens
4 Τα τεκνα αυτων ενδυναμουνται, αυξανουσιν εν τη πεδιαδι? εξερχονται και δεν επιστρεφουσι πλεον εις αυτας.	4 and the calves, having grown big and strong, go off into the desert and never come back to them.
5 Τις εξαπεστειλεν ελευθερον τον αγριον ονον; η τις ελυσε τους δεσμους αυτου;	5 Who has given the wild donkey his freedom, who has undone the harness of the brayer?
6 του οποιου οικιαν εκαμον την ερημον, και την αλμυριδα κατοικιαν αυτου.	6 I have given him the wastelands as his home, the salt plain as his habitat.
7 Καταγελα του θορυβου της πολεως? δεν ακουει την κραυγην του εργοδιωκτου.	7 He scorns the turmoil of the town, obeys no donkey-man's shouts.
8 Κατασκοπευει τα ορη δια βοσκην αυτου, και υπαγει ζητων κατοπιν παντος ειδους χλοης.	8 The mountains are the pastures that he ranges in quest of anything green.
9 Θελει ευχαριστηθη ο μονοκερως να σε δουλευη, η θελει διανυκτερευσει εν τη φατνη σου;	9 Is the wild ox willing to serve you or spend a night beside your manger?
10 Δυνασαι να δεσης τον μονοκερων με τον δεσμον αυτου προς αροτριασιν; η θελει ομαλιζει τας πεδιαδας οπισω σου;	10 If you tie a rope round his neck wil he harrow the furrows for you?
11 Θελεις βαλει το θαρρος σου εις αυτον, διοτι η δυναμις αυτου ειναι μεγαλη; η θελεις αφησει την εργασιαν σου επ' αυτον;	11 Can you rely on his massive strength and leave him to do your heavy work?
12 Θελεις εμπιστευθη εις αυτον να σοι φερη τον σπορον σου και να συναξη αυτον εν τω αλωνιω σου;	12 Can you depend on him to come home and pile your grain on your threshing-floor?
13 Εδωκας συ τας ωραιας πτερυγας εις τους ταωνας; η πτερυγας και πτερα εις την στρουθοκαμηλον;	13 Can the wing of the ostrich be compared with the plumage of stork or falcon?
14 ητις αφινει τα ωα αυτης εις την γην και θαλπει αυτα επι του χωματος,	14 She leaves her eggs on the ground with only earth to warm them;
15 και λησμονει οτι ο πους ενδεχεται να συντριψη αυτα, η το θηριον του αγρου να καταπατηση αυτα?	15 forgetting that a foot may tread on them or a wild animal crush them.
16 σκληρυνεται κατα των τεκνων αυτης, ως να μη ησαν αυτης? ματαιως εκοπιασε, μη φοβουμενη?	16 Cruel to her chicks as if they were not hers, little she cares if her labour goes for nothing.
17 διοτι ο Θεος εστερησεν αυτην απο σοφιας και δεν εμοιρασεν εις αυτην συνεσιν?	17 God, you see, has deprived her of wisdom and given her no share of intel igence.
18 οσακις σηκονεται ορθιος, καταγελα του ιππου και του αναβατου αυτου.	18 Yet, if she bestirs herself to use her height, she can make fools of horse and rider too.
19 Συ εδωκας δυναμιν εις τον ιππον; περιενεδυσας τον τραχηλον αυτου με βροντην;	19 Are you the one who makes the horse so brave and covers his neck with flowing mane?
20 συ καμνεις αυτον να πηδα ως ακρις; το γαυριαμα των μυκτηρων αυτου ειναι τρομερον?	20 Do you make him leap like a grasshopper? His haughty neighing inspires terror.
21 ανασκαπτει εν τη κοιλαδι και αγαλλεται εις την δυναμιν αυτου? εξερχεται εις απαντησιν των οπλων?	21 Exultantly he paws the soil of the val ey, and charges the battle-line in all his strength.
22 καταγελα του φοβου και δεν τρομαζει? ουδε στρεφει απο προσωπου ρομφαιας?	22 He laughs at fear; he is afraid of nothing, he recoils before no sword.
23 η φαρετρα κροταλιζει κατ' αυτου, η εξαστραπτουσα λογχη και το δορυ.	23 On his back the quiver rattles, the flashing spear and javelin.
24 Καταπινει την γην εν αγριοτητι και μανια? και δεν πιστευει οτι ηχει σαλπιγξ?	24 Trembling with impatience, he eats up the miles; when the trumpet sounds, there is no holding him.
25 αμα δε τη φωνη της σαλπιγγος, λεγει, Α, α και μακροθεν οσφραινεται την μαχην, την κραυγην των στρατηγων και τον αλαλαγμον.	25 At each trumpet blast he neighs exultantly. He scents the battle from afar, the thundering of thecommanders and the war cry.
26 Δια της σοφιας σου πετα ο ιεραξ και απλονει τας πτερυγας αυτου προς νοτον;	26 Is it your wisdom that sets the hawk flying when he spreads his wings to travel south?
27 Εις την προσταγην σου ανυψουται ο αετος και καμνει την φωλεαν αυτου εν τοις υψηλοις;	27 Does the eagle soar at your command to make her eyrie in the heights?
28 Κατοικει επι βραχου και διατριβει, επι αποτομου βραχου και επι αβατων τοπων?	28 She spends her nights among the crags with a needle of rock as her fortress,
29 εκειθεν αναζητει τροφην? οι οφθαλμοι αυτου σκοπευουσι μακροθεν?	29 from which she watches for prey, fixing it with her far-ranging eye.
30 και οι νεοσσοι αυτου αιμα πινουσι? και οπου πτωματα, εκει και αυτος.	30 Even her young drink blood; where anyone has been killed, she is there.
