ΙΩΒ - Giobbe - Job 2

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Ημεραν δε τινα ηλθον οι υιοι του Θεου δια να παρασταθωσιν ενωπιον του Κυριου? και μεταξυ αυτων ηλθε και ο Σατανας, δια να παρασταθη ενωπιον του Κυριου.	1 But it happened that, on a certain day, when the sons of God had arrived and they stood before the Lord, Satan likewise arrived among them, and he stood in his sight.
2 Και ειπεν ο Κυριος προς τον Σαταναν, Ποθεν ερχεσαι; Και ο Σατανας απεκριθη προς τον Κυριον και ειπε, Περιελθων την γην και εμπεριπατησας εν αυτη παρειμι.	2 So the Lord said to Satan, “Where do you come from?” Answering, he said, “I have circled the land, and walked around in it.”
3 Και ειπεν ο Κυριος προς τον Σαταναν, Εβαλες τον νουν σου επι τον δουλον μου Ιωβ, οτι δεν υπαρχει ομοιος αυτου εν τη γη, ανθρωπος αμεμπτος και ευθυς, φοβουμενος τον Θεον και απεχομενος απο κακου; και ετι κρατει την ακεραιοτητα αυτου, αν και με παρωξυνας κατ' αυτου, δια να εξολοθρευσω αυτον ανευ αιτιας.	3 And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you not considered my servant, Job, that there is no one like him in the land, a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil, and still retaining his innocence? Yet you have stirred me against him, so that I would afflict him to no purpose.”
4 Και απεκριθη ο Σατανας προς τον Κυριον και ειπε, Δερμα υπερ δερματος, και παντα οσα εχει ο ανθρωπος θελει δωσει υπερ της ζωης αυτου?	4 Answering him, Satan said, “Skin for skin; and everything that a man has, he will give for his life.
5 πλην τωρα εκτεινον την χειρα σου και εγγισον τα οστα αυτου και την σαρκα αυτου, δια να ιδης εαν δεν σε βλασφημηση κατα προσωπον.	5 Yet send your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and then you will see whether or not he blesses you to your face.”
6 Και ειπεν ο Κυριος προς τον Σαταναν, Ιδου, αυτος εις την χειρα σου? μονον την ζωην αυτου φυλαξον.	6 Therefore, the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but even so, spare his life.”
7 Τοτε εξηλθεν ο Σατανας απ' εμπροσθεν του Κυριου και επαταξε τον Ιωβ με ελκος κακον απο του ιχνους των ποδων αυτου εως της κορυφης αυτου.	7 And so, Satan departed from the face of the Lord and he struck Job with a very serious ulcer from the sole of the foot all the way to the crown of his head.
8 Και ελαβεν εις εαυτον οστρακον, δια να ξυηται με αυτο? και εκαθητο εν μεσω της σποδου.	8 So he took a shard of earthenware and scraped the discharge, while sitting on a heap of refuse.
9 Τοτε ειπε προς αυτον γυνη αυτου, Ετι κρατεις την ακεραιοτητα σου; Βλασφημησον τον Θεον και αποθανε.	9 But his wife said to him, “Do you still continue in your simplicity? Bless God and die.”
10 Ο δε ειπε προς αυτην, Ελαλησας ως λαλει μια εκ των αφρονων γυναικων? τα αγαθα μονον θελομεν δεχθη εκ του Θεου, και τα κακα δεν θελομεν δεχθη; Εν πασι τουτοις δεν ημαρτησεν ο Ιωβ με τα χειλη αυτου.	10 He said to her, “You have spoken like one of the foolish wives. If we accepted good things from the hand of God, why should we not accept bad things?” In all this, Job did not sin with his lips.
11 Ακουσαντες δε οι τρεις φιλοι του Ιωβ παντα ταυτα τα κακα τα επελθοντα επ' αυτον, ηλθον εκαστος εκ του τοπου αυτου? Ελιφας ο Θαιμανιτης και Βιλδαδ ο Σαυχιτης και Σωφαρ ο Νααμαθιτης? διοτι ειχον συμφωνησει να ελθωσιν ομου, δια να συλλυπηθωσιν αυτον και να παρηγορησωσιν αυτον.	11 And so, three friends of Job, hearing about all the evil that had befallen him, arrived, each one from his own place, Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had agreed to come together to visit and console him.
12 Και οτε εσηκωσαν τους οφθαλμους αυτων μακροθεν και δεν εγνωρισαν αυτον, υψωσαν την φωνην αυτων και εκλαυσαν? και διεσχισαν εκαστος το ιματιον αυτου και ερριψαν χωμα επι τας κεφαλας αυτων προς τον ουρανον.	12 And when they had raised up their eyes from a distance, they did not recognize him, and, crying out, they wept, and, tearing their garments, they scattered dust over their heads into the sky.
13 Και εκαθησαν μετ' αυτου κατα γης επτα ημερας και επτα νυκτας, και ουδεις ελαλησε λογον προς αυτον, διοτι εβλεπον οτι ο πονος αυτου ητο μεγας σφοδρα.	13 And they sat with him on the ground for seven day and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his sorrow was very great.
