ΙΩΒ - Giobbe - Job 9

LXX	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 υπολαβων δε ιωβ λεγει	1 Then Job answered and said,
2 επ' αληθειας οιδα οτι ουτως εστιν πως γαρ εσται δικαιος βροτος παρα κυριω	2 I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
3 εαν γαρ βουληται κριθηναι αυτω ου μη υπακουση αυτω ινα μη αντειπη προς ενα λογον αυτου εκ χιλιων	3 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
4 σοφος γαρ εστιν διανοια κραταιος τε και μεγας τις σκληρος γενομενος εναντιον αυτου υπεμεινεν	4 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
5 ο παλαιων ορη και ουκ οιδασιν ο καταστρεφων αυτα οργη	5 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
6 ο σειων την υπ' ουρανον εκ θεμελιων οι δε στυλοι αυτης σαλευονται	6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
7 ο λεγων τω ηλιω και ουκ ανατελλει κατα δε αστρων κατασφραγιζει	7 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
8 ο τανυσας τον ουρανον μονος και περιπατων ως επ' εδαφους επι θαλασσης	8 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
9 ο ποιων πλειαδα και εσπερον και αρκτουρον και ταμιεια νοτου	9 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
10 ο ποιων μεγαλα και ανεξιχνιαστα ενδοξα τε και εξαισια ων ουκ εστιν αριθμος	10 Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.
11 εαν υπερβη με ου μη ιδω και εαν παρελθη με ουδ' ως εγνων	11 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
12 εαν απαλλαξη τις αποστρεψει η τις ερει αυτω τι εποιησας	12 Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
13 αυτος γαρ απεστραπται οργην υπ' αυτου εκαμφθησαν κητη τα υπ' ουρανον	13 If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
14 εαν δε μου υπακουσηται η διακρινει τα ρηματα μου	14 How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
15 εαν τε γαρ ω δικαιος ουκ εισακουσεται μου του κριματος αυτου δεηθησομαι	15 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
16 εαν τε καλεσω και υπακουση ου πιστευω οτι εισακηκοεν μου	16 If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
17 μη γνοφω με εκτριψη πολλα δε μου τα συντριμματα πεποιηκεν δια κενης	17 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
18 ουκ εα γαρ με αναπνευσαι ενεπλησεν δε με πικριας	18 He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
19 οτι μεν γαρ ισχυι κρατει τις ουν κριματι αυτου αντιστησεται	19 If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?
20 εαν γαρ ω δικαιος το στομα μου ασεβησει εαν τε ω αμεμπτος σκολιος αποβησομαι	20 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
21 ειτε γαρ ησεβησα ουκ οιδα τη ψυχη πλην οτι αφαιρειται μου η ζωη	21 Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
22 διο ειπον μεγαν και δυναστην απολλυει οργη	22 This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
23 οτι φαυλοι εν θανατω εξαισιω αλλα δικαιοι καταγελωνται	23 If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
24 παραδεδονται γαρ εις χειρας ασεβους προσωπα κριτων αυτης συγκαλυπτει ει δε μη αυτος τις εστιν	24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
25 ο δε βιος μου εστιν ελαφροτερος δρομεως απεδρασαν και ουκ ειδοσαν	25 Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
26 η και εστιν ναυσιν ιχνος οδου η αετου πετομενου ζητουντος βοραν	26 They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.
27 εαν τε γαρ ειπω επιλησομαι λαλων συγκυψας τω προσωπω στεναξω	27 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:
28 σειομαι πασιν τοις μελεσιν οιδα γαρ οτι ουκ αθωον με εασεις	28 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
29 επειδη δε ειμι ασεβης δια τι ουκ απεθανον	29 If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
30 εαν γαρ απολουσωμαι χιονι και αποκαθαρωμαι χερσιν καθαραις	30 If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
31 ικανως εν ρυπω με εβαψας εβδελυξατο δε με η στολη	31 Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
32 ου γαρ ει ανθρωπος κατ' εμε ω αντικρινουμαι ινα ελθωμεν ομοθυμαδον εις κρισιν	32 For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.
33 ειθε ην ο μεσιτης ημων και ελεγχων και διακουων ανα μεσον αμφοτερων	33 Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.
34 απαλλαξατω απ' εμου την ραβδον ο δε φοβος αυτου μη με στροβειτω	34 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
35 και ου μη φοβηθω αλλα λαλησω ου γαρ ουτω συνεπισταμαι	35 Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.
