Job 1

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 There was a man in the land of Uz named Job, and he was a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil.	1 Ανθρωπος τις ητο εν τη γη της Αυσιτιδος ονομαζομενος Ιωβ? και ο ανθρωπος ουτος ητο αμεμπτος και ευθυς και φοβουμενος τον Θεον και απεχομενος απο κακου.
2 And there had been born to him seven sons and three daughters.	2 Και εγεννηθησαν εις αυτον επτα υιοι και τρεις θυγατερες.
3 And his possession was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, along with five hundred pairs of oxen and five hundred she-donkeys, and also a very large family. And this man was great among all the people of the east.	3 Και ησαν τα κτηνη αυτου επτακισχιλια προβατα και τρισχιλιαι καμηλοι και πεντακοσια ζευγη βοων και πεντακοσιαι ονοι και πληθος πολυ υπηρετων? και ητο ο ανθρωπος εκεινος ο μεγαλητερος παντων των κατοικων της Ανατολης.
4 And his sons went and made a feast by houses, each one on his day. And sending, they called their three sisters to eat and drink with them.	4 Και υπηγαινον οι υιοι αυτου και εκαμνον συμποσια εν ταις οικιαις αυτων, εκαστος κατα την ημεραν αυτου, και εστελλον και προσεκαλουν τας τρεις αδελφας αυτων δια να τρωγωσι και να πινωσι μετ' αυτων.
5 And when the days of their feasting had been completed, Job sent to them and sanctified them, and, getting up at dawn, he offered holocausts for each one. For he said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned and have not praised God in their hearts.” So Job did all the days.	5 Και οτε ετελειονον αι ημεραι του συμποσιου, εστελλεν ο Ιωβ και ηγιαζεν αυτους, και εξεγειρομενος πρωι προσεφερεν ολοκαυτωματα κατα τον αριθμον παντων αυτων? διοτι ελεγεν ο Ιωβ, Μηπως οι υιοι μου ημαρτησαν και εβλασφημησαν τον Θεον εν τη καρδια αυτων. Ουτως εκαμνεν ο Ιωβ, παντοτε.
6 But on a certain day, when the sons of God came to attend in the presence of the Lord, Satan also arrived among them.	6 Ημεραν δε τινα ηλθον οι υιοι του Θεου δια να παρασταθωσιν ενωπιον του Κυριου, και μεταξυ αυτων ηλθε και ο Σατανας.
7 The Lord said to him, “Where do you come from?” Answering, he said, “I have circled the land, and walked around in it.”	7 Και ειπεν ο Κυριος προς τον Σαταναν, Ποθεν ερχεσαι; Και ο Σατανας απεκριθη προς τον Κυριον και ειπε, Περιελθων την γην και εμπεριπατησας εν αυτη παρειμι.
8 And the Lord said to him, “Have you not considered my servant, Job? For there is no one like him in the land, a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil.”	8 Και ειπεν ο Κυριος προς τον Σαταναν, Εβαλες τον νουν σου επι τον δουλον μου Ιωβ, οτι δεν υπαρχει ομοιος αυτου εν τη γη, ανθρωπος αμεμπτος και ευθυς, φοβουμενος τον Θεον και απεχομενος απο κακου;
9 Answering him, Satan said, “Does Job fear God to no purpose?	9 Και απεκριθη ο Σατανας προς τον Κυριον και ειπε, Μηπως δωρεαν φοβειται ο Ιωβ τον Θεον;
10 Have you not fortified him, as well as his house and every one of his belongings around him, blessed the works of his hands, and his possession has increased in the land?	10 δεν περιεφραξας κυκλοθεν αυτον και την οικιαν αυτου και παντα οσα εχει; τα εργα των χειρων αυτου ευλογησας, και τα κτηνη αυτου επληθυνθησαν επι της γης?
11 But extend your hand a little, and touch all that he possesses, and see if he still praises you to your face.”	11 πλην τωρα εκτεινον την χειρα σου και εγγισον παντα οσα εχει, δια να ιδης εαν δεν σε βλασφημηση κατα προσωπον.
12 Therefore, the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, everything that he has is in your hand, only do not extend your hand against him.” And Satan departed from the face of the Lord.	12 Και ειπεν ο Κυριος προς τον Σαταναν, Ιδου, εις την χειρα σου παντα οσα εχει? μονον επ' αυτον μη επιβαλης την χειρα σου. Και εξηλθεν ο Σατανας απ' εμπροσθεν του Κυριου.
13 So, on a certain day, when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine, in the house of their first-born brother,	13 Ημεραν δε τινα οι υιοι αυτου και αι θυγατερες αυτου ετρωγον και επινον οινον εν τη οικια του αδελφου αυτων του πρωτοτοκου.
14 a messenger came to Job, who said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys were grazing beside them,	14 Και ηλθε μηνυτης προς τον Ιωβ και ειπεν, Οι βοες ηροτριαζον και αι ονοι εβοσκον πλησιον αυτων?
15 and the Sabeans rushed in and carried away everything, and they struck the servants with the sword; and I alone evaded them to tell you.”	15 και επεπεσαν οι Σαβαιοι και ηρπασαν αυτα? και τους δουλους επαταξαν εν στοματι μαχαιρας? και εγω μονος διεσωθην δια να σοι απαγγειλω.
16 And while he was still speaking, another arrived, and he said, “The fire of God fell from heaven, and, having struck the sheep and the servants, it consumed them; and I alone escaped to tell you.”	16 Ενω ουτος ετι ελαλει, ηλθε και αλλος και ειπε, Πυρ Θεου επεσεν εξ ουρανου και εκαυσε τα προβατα και τους δουλους και κατεφαγεν αυτους? και εγω μονος διεσωθην δια να σοι απαγγειλω.
17 And while he also was still speaking, another arrived, and he said, “The Chaldeans organized three attacks, and advanced on the camels and took them; and not only that, but they have struck the servants with the sword; and I alone fled to tell you.”	17 Ενω ουτος ετι ελαλει, ηλθε και αλλος και ειπεν, Οι Χαλδαιοι εκαμον τρεις λοχους και εφωρμησαν εις τας καμηλους και ηρπασαν αυτας? και τους δουλους επαταξαν εν στοματι μαχαιρας? και εγω μονος διεσωθην δια να σοι απαγγειλω.
18 He was still speaking, and behold, another entered, and he said, “Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine in the house of their first-born brother,	18 Ενω ουτος ετι ελαλει, ηλθε και αλλος και ειπεν, Οι υιοι σου και αι θυγατερες σου ετρωγον και επινον οινον εν τη οικια του αδελφου αυτων του πρωτοτοκου?
19 when suddenly a severe wind rushed forth from a region of the desert and shook the four corners of the house, which collapsed and crushed your children, and they are dead; and I alone escaped to tell you.”	19 και ιδου, ηλθε μεγας ανεμος εκ του περαν της ερημου και προσεβαλε τας τεσσαρας γωνιας του οικου και επεσεν επι τα παιδια, και απεθανον? και εγω μονος διεσωθην δια να σοι απαγγειλω.
20 Then Job got up and tore his garments, and, having shaved his head, he collapsed on the ground, and worshipped,	20 Τοτε σηκωθεις ο Ιωβ διεσχισε το επενδυμα αυτου και εξυρισε την κεφαλην αυτου και επεσεν επι την γην και προσεκυνησε,
21 and he said, “Naked I departed from my mother’s womb, and naked I shall return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away. Just as it pleased the Lord, so has it been done. Blessed be the name of the Lord.”	21 και ειπε, Γυμνος εξηλθον εκ κοιλιας μητρος μου και γυμνος θελω επιστρεψει εκει? ο Κυριος εδωκε και ο Κυριος αφηρεσεν? ειη το ονομα Κυριου ευλογημενον.
22 In all this, Job did not sin by his lips, nor did he speak any foolish thing against God.	22 Εν πασι τουτοις δεν ημαρτησεν ο Ιωβ και δεν εδωκεν αφροσυνην εις τον Θεον.
