ΙΩΒ - Giobbe - Job 18

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 υπολαβων δε βαλδαδ ο σαυχιτης λεγει	1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied and said:
2 μεχρι τινος ου παυση επισχες ινα και αυτοι λαλησωμεν	2 When will you put an end to words? Reflect, and then we can have discussion.
3 δια τι ωσπερ τετραποδα σεσιωπηκαμεν εναντιον σου	3 Why are we accounted like the beasts, their equals in your sight?
4 κεχρηται σοι οργη τι γαρ εαν συ αποθανης αοικητος η υπ' ουρανον η καταστραφησεται ορη εκ θεμελιων	4 You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be neglected on your account (or the rock be moved out of its place)?
5 και φως ασεβων σβεσθησεται και ουκ αποβησεται αυτων η φλοξ	5 Truly, the light of the wicked is extinguished; no flame brightens his hearth.
6 το φως αυτου σκοτος εν διαιτη ο δε λυχνος επ' αυτω σβεσθησεται	6 The light is darkened in his tent; in spite of him, his lamp goes out.
7 θηρευσαισαν ελαχιστοι τα υπαρχοντα αυτου σφαλαι δε αυτου η βουλη	7 His vigorous steps are hemmed in, and his own counsel casts him down.
8 εμβεβληται δε ο πους αυτου εν παγιδι εν δικτυω ελιχθειη	8 For he rushes headlong into a net, and he wanders into a pitfall.
9 ελθοισαν δε επ' αυτον παγιδες κατισχυσει επ' αυτον διψωντας	9 A trap seizes him by the heel, and a snare lays hold of him.
10 κεκρυπται εν τη γη σχοινιον αυτου και η συλλημψις αυτου επι τριβων	10 A noose for him is hid on the ground, and the toils for him on the way.
11 κυκλω ολεσαισαν αυτον οδυναι πολλοι δε περι ποδας αυτου ελθοισαν εν λιμω στενω	11 On every side terrors affright him; they harry him at each step.
12 πτωμα δε αυτω ητοιμασται εξαισιον	12 Disaster is ready at his side,
13 βρωθειησαν αυτου κλωνες ποδων κατεδεται δε τα ωραια αυτου θανατος	13 the first-born of death consumes his limbs.
14 εκραγειη δε εκ διαιτης αυτου ιασις σχοιη δε αυτον αναγκη αιτια βασιλικη	14 Fiery destruction lodges in his tent, and marches him off to the king of terrors. He is plucked from the security of his tent;
15 κατασκηνωσει εν τη σκηνη αυτου εν νυκτι αυτου κατασπαρησονται τα ευπρεπη αυτου θειω	15 over his abode brimstone is scattered.
16 υποκατωθεν αι ριζαι αυτου ξηρανθησονται και επανωθεν επιπεσειται θερισμος αυτου	16 Below, his roots dry up, and above, his branches wither.
17 το μνημοσυνον αυτου απολοιτο εκ γης και υπαρχει ονομα αυτω επι προσωπον εξωτερω	17 His memory perishes from the land, and he has no name on the earth.
18 απωσειεν αυτον εκ φωτος εις σκοτος	18 He is driven from light into darkness, and banished out of the world.
19 ουκ εσται επιγνωστος εν λαω αυτου ουδε σεσωσμενος εν τη υπ' ουρανον ο οικος αυτου αλλ' εν τοις αυτου ζησονται ετεροι	19 He has neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any survior where once he dwelt.
20 επ' αυτω εστεναξαν εσχατοι πρωτους δε εσχεν θαυμα	20 They who come after shall be appalled at his fate; they who went before are struck with horror.
21 ουτοι εισιν οικοι αδικων ουτος δε ο τοπος των μη ειδοτων τον κυριον	21 So is it then with the dwelling of the impious man, and such is the place of him who knows not God!
