ΙΩΒ - Giobbe - Job 20

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Και απεκριθη Σωφαρ ο Νααμαθιτης και ειπε?	1 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered by saying:
2 Δια τουτο οι στοχασμοι μου με κινουσιν εις το να αποκριθω, και δια τουτο σπευδω.	2 In response, various thoughts succeed one another in me, and my mind moves quickly through different ideas.
3 Ηκουσα την εις εμε ονειδιστικην επιπληξιν, και το πνευμα της συνεσεως μου με καμνει να αποκριθω.	3 The teaching you use to admonish me, I will hear, and the spirit of my understanding will respond for me.
4 Δεν γνωριζεις τουτο παλαιοθεν αφ' οτου ο ανθρωπος ετεθη επι της γης,	4 This, I know, is from the beginning, from the time that man was set over the earth:
5 οτι ο θριαμβος των ασεβων ειναι ολιγοχρονιος, και η χαρα του υποκριτου στιγμαια.	5 that the praise of the impious shall be short, and the joy of the hypocrite lasts only a moment.
6 Και αν το μεγαλειον αυτου αναβη εις τους ουρανους και η κεφαλη αυτου φθαση εως των νεφελων,	6 If his pride ascends even towards the heavens, and his head touches the clouds,
7 θελει αφανισθη διαπαντος ως κοπρος αυτου? οσοι εβλεπον αυτον θελουσι λεγει, Που εκεινος;	7 in the end, he will be destroyed like a trash heap, and those who had seen him will say: “Where is he?”
8 θελει πεταξει ως ονειρον και δεν θελει ευρεθη? και, ως ορασις της νυκτος θελει εξαφανισθη.	8 Like a dream that flies away, he will not be found; he will pass away like a nightmare.
9 Και ο οφθαλμος οστις εβλεπεν αυτον δεν θελει ιδει αυτον πλεον? και ο τοπος αυτου δεν θελει πλεον γνωρισει αυτον.	9 The eyes that had seen him, will not see him; no longer will his own place admire him.
10 Οι υιοι αυτου θελουσι ζητησει την ευνοιαν των πτωχων, και αι χειρες αυτου θελουσιν επιστρεψει τα αγαθα αυτων.	10 His sons will be worn away by poverty, and his own hands will deliver his grief to him.
11 Τα οστα αυτου γεμουσιν απο των αμαρτηματων της νεοτητος αυτου, και θελουσι κοιμηθη μετ' αυτου εν χωματι.	11 His bones will be filled with the vices of his youth, and they will sleep with him in the dust.
12 Αν και η κακια ηναι γλυκεια εν τω στοματι αυτου, κρυπτη αυτην υπο την γλωσσαν αυτου?	12 For, when evil will be sweet in his mouth, he will hide it under his tongue.
13 αν και περιθαλπη αυτην και δεν αφινη αυτην, αλλα κρατη αυτην εν τω μεσω του ουρανισκου αυτου?	13 He will permit it, and not abandon it, and he will conceal it in his throat.
14 ομως η τροφη αυτου θελει αλλοιωθη εις τα εντοσθια αυτου? χολη ασπιδων θελει γεινει εν αυτω.	14 His bread in his belly will be turned into the venom of snakes within him.
15 Τα πλουτη οσα κατεπιε, θελει εξεμεσει? ο Θεος θελει εκσπασει αυτα απο της κοιλιας αυτου.	15 The riches that he devours, he will vomit up, and from his stomach God will draw them out.
16 Φαρμακιον ασπιδων θελει θηλασει? γλωσσα εχιδνης θελει θανατωσει αυτον.	16 He will suck the head of snakes, and the tongue of the viper will kill him.
17 Δεν θελει ιδει τους ποταμους, τους ρυακας τους ρεοντας μελι και βουτυρον.	17 (May he never see the streams of the river, the torrents of honey and butter.)
18 Εκεινο, δια το οποιον εκοπιασε, θελει αποδωσει και δεν θελει καταπιει αυτο? κατα την αποκτησιν θελει γεινει η αποδοσις αυτου, και δεν θελει χαρη.	18 He will be repaid for all he has done, yet he will not be consumed; according to the multitude of his schemes, so also will he suffer.
19 Διοτι κατεθλιψεν, εγκατελιπε τους πενητας? ηρπασεν οικιαν, την οποιαν δεν ωκοδομησε.	19 For, having broken in, he stripped the poor. He has quickly stolen away a house he did not build.
20 Βεβαιως δεν θελει γνωρισει αναπαυσιν εν τη κοιλια αυτου? δεν θελει διασωσει ουδεν εκ των επιθυμητων αυτου.	20 And yet his stomach will not be satisfied, and when he has the things he desires, he will not be able to possess them.
21 Δεν θελει μεινει εις αυτον ουδεν προς τροφην? οθεν δεν θελει ελπισει επι τα αγαθα αυτου.	21 Nothing remained of his portion, and, because of this, nothing will continue of his kind.
22 Εν τη πληρει αφθονια αυτου θελει επελθει επ' αυτον στενοχωρια? πασα η δυναμις της ταλαιπωριας θελει επιπεσει επ' αυτον.	22 When he will be satisfied, he will be constrained; he will seethe, and all anguish will fall upon him.
23 Ενω καταγινεται να εμπληση την κοιλιαν αυτου, ο Θεος θελει αποστειλει τον θυμον της οργης αυτου επ' αυτον, και θελει επιβρεξει αυτον κατ' αυτου ενω τρωγει.	23 May his stomach be filled, so that God may send forth the fury of his wrath to him and may rain down his battle upon him.
24 Ενω φευγει το οπλον το σιδηρουν, το χαλκινον τοξον θελει διαπερασει αυτον.	24 He will flee from weapons of iron, and he will fall in an arc of brass,
25 Το βελος συρεται και διαπερα το σωμα, και η αστραπτουσα ακμη εξερχεται εκ της χολης αυτου. Τρομοι ειναι επ' αυτον,	25 which had been drawn and had issued forth from its sheath, glittering in its bitterness: the horrible ones will go forth and approach over him.
26 παν σκοτος κρυπτεται εν τοις ταμειοις αυτου? πυρ ασβεστον θελει κατατρωγει αυτον? οσοι εναπελειφθησαν εν τη σκηνη αυτου θελουσι δυστυχει.	26 All darkness has been hidden in his secrecy. A fire that has not been set will devour him; he will be thrown down and forsaken in his tabernacle.
27 Ο ουρανος θελει ανακαλυψει την ανομιαν αυτου? και η γη θελει σηκωθη κατ' αυτου.	27 The heavens will reveal his sinfulness, and the earth will rise up against him.
28 Η περιουσια του οικου αυτου θελει αφανισθη? θελει διαρρευσει εν τη ημερα της κατ' αυτου οργης.	28 The offspring of his house will be exposed; he will be pulled down in the day of God’s wrath.
29 Αυτη ειναι η παρα του Θεου μερις του ασεβους ανθρωπου, και η κληρονομια η διωρισμενη εις αυτον παρα του Θεου.	29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the inheritance of his words from the Lord.
