ΙΩΒ - Giobbe - Job 26

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 υπολαβων δε ιωβ λεγει	1 Then Job spoke again and said:
2 τινι προσκεισαι η τινι μελλεις βοηθειν ποτερον ουχ ω πολλη ισχυς και ω βραχιων κραταιος εστιν	2 What help you give to the powerless, what strength to the feeble arm!
3 τινι συμβεβουλευσαι ουχ ω πασα σοφια η τινι επακολουθησεις ουχ ω μεγιστη δυναμις	3 How you counsel, as though he had no wisdom; how profuse is the advice you offer!
4 τινι ανηγγειλας ρηματα πνοη δε τινος εστιν η εξελθουσα εκ σου	4 With whose help have you uttered those words, and whose is the breath that comes forth from you?
5 μη γιγαντες μαιωθησονται υποκατωθεν υδατος και των γειτονων αυτου	5 The shades beneath writhe in terror, the waters, and their inhabitants.
6 γυμνος ο αδης επωπιον αυτου και ουκ εστιν περιβολαιον τη απωλεια	6 Naked before him is the nether world, and Abaddon has no covering.
7 εκτεινων βορεαν επ' ουδεν κρεμαζων γην επι ουδενος	7 He stretches out the North over empty space, and suspends the earth over nothing at all;
8 δεσμευων υδωρ εν νεφελαις αυτου και ουκ ερραγη νεφος υποκατω αυτου	8 He binds up the waters in his clouds, yet the cloud is not rent by their weight;
9 ο κρατων προσωπον θρονου εκπεταζων επ' αυτον νεφος αυτου	9 He holds back the appearance of the full moon by spreading his clouds before it.
10 προσταγμα εγυρωσεν επι προσωπον υδατος μεχρι συντελειας φωτος μετα σκοτους	10 He has marked out a circle on the surface of the deep as the boundary of light and darkness.
11 στυλοι ουρανου επετασθησαν και εξεστησαν απο της επιτιμησεως αυτου	11 The pillars of the heavens tremble and are stunned at his thunderous rebuke;
12 ισχυι κατεπαυσεν την θαλασσαν επιστημη δε ετρωσε το κητος	12 By his power he stirs up the sea, and by his might he crushes Rahab;
13 κλειθρα δε ουρανου δεδοικασιν αυτον προσταγματι δε εθανατωσεν δρακοντα αποστατην	13 With his angry breath he scatters the waters, and he hurls the lightning against them relentlessly; His hand pierces the fugitive dragon as from his hand it strives to flee.
14 ιδου ταυτα μερη οδου αυτου και επι ικμαδα λογου ακουσομεθα εν αυτω σθενος δε βροντης αυτου τις οιδεν οποτε ποιησει	14 Lo, these are but the outlines of his ways, and how faint is the word we hear!
