1 υπολαβων δε ελιους λεγει | 1 Elihu spake moreover, and said, |
2 τι τουτο ηγησω εν κρισει συ τις ει οτι ειπας δικαιος ειμι εναντι κυριου | 2 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's? |
3 η ερεις τι ποιησω αμαρτων | 3 For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin? |
4 εγω σοι δωσω αποκρισιν και τοις τρισιν φιλοις σου | 4 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee. |
5 αναβλεψον εις τον ουρανον και ιδε καταμαθε δε νεφη ως υψηλα απο σου | 5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou. |
6 ει ημαρτες τι πραξεις ει δε και πολλα ηνομησας τι δυνασαι ποιησαι | 6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? |
7 επει δε ουν δικαιος ει τι δωσεις αυτω η τι εκ χειρος σου λημψεται | 7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand? |
8 ανδρι τω ομοιω σου η ασεβεια σου και υιω ανθρωπου η δικαιοσυνη σου | 8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man. |
9 απο πληθους συκοφαντουμενοι κεκραξονται βοησονται απο βραχιονος πολλων | 9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. |
10 και ουκ ειπεν που εστιν ο θεος ο ποιησας με ο κατατασσων φυλακας νυκτερινας | 10 But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; |
11 ο διοριζων με απο τετραποδων γης απο δε πετεινων ουρανου | 11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? |
12 εκει κεκραξονται και ου μη εισακουση και απο υβρεως πονηρων | 12 There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men. |
13 ατοπα γαρ ου βουλεται ο κυριος ιδειν αυτος γαρ ο παντοκρατωρ ορατης εστιν | 13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it. |
14 των συντελουντων τα ανομα και σωσει με κριθητι δε εναντιον αυτου ει δυνασαι αινεσαι αυτον ως εστιν | 14 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him. |
15 και νυν οτι ουκ εστιν επισκεπτομενος οργην αυτου και ουκ εγνω παραπτωματι σφοδρα | 15 But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity: |
16 και ιωβ ματαιως ανοιγει το στομα αυτου εν αγνωσια ρηματα βαρυνει | 16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge. |
