ΙΩΒ - Giobbe - Job 36

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Και ο Ελιου εξηκολουθησε και ειπεν?	1 Continuing in a similar manner, Eliu had this to say:
2 Υπομεινον με ολιγον, και θελω σε διδαξει? διοτι εχω ετι λογους υπερ του Θεου.	2 Bear with me for a little while and I will show you; for I have still more to say in favor of God.
3 Θελω λαβει τα επιχειρηματα μου μακροθεν, και θελω αποδωσει δικαιοσυνην εις τον Ποιητην μου?	3 I will review my knowledge from the beginning, and I will prove my Maker to be just.
4 διοτι οι λογοι μου επ' αληθειας δεν θελουσιν εισθαι ψευδεις? πλησιον σου ειναι ο τελειος κατα την γνωσιν.	4 For truly my words are without any falsehood and perfect knowledge will be proven to you.
5 Ιδου, ο Θεος ειναι ισχυρος, ομως δεν καταφρονει ουδενα? ισχυρος εις δυναμιν σοφιας.	5 God does not abandon the powerful, for he himself is also powerful.
6 Δεν θελει ζωοποιησει τον ασεβη? εις δε τους πτωχους διδει το δικαιον.	6 But he does not save the impious, though he grants judgment to the poor.
7 Δεν αποσυρει τους οφθαλμους αυτου απο των δικαιων, αλλα και μετα βασιλεων βαλλει αυτους επι θρονου? μαλιστα καθιζει αυτους διαπαντος, και ειναι υψωμενοι.	7 He will not take his eyes away from the just, and he continually establishes kings on their throne, and they are exalted.
8 Και εαν ηθελον εισθαι δεδεμενοι με δεσμα και πιασθη με σχοινια θλιψεως,	8 And, if they are in captivity, or are bound with the chains of poverty,
9 τοτε φανερονει εις αυτους τα εργα αυτων και τας παραβασεις αυτων, οτι υπερηυξησαν,	9 he will reveal to them their works, as well as their sinfulness, in that they were violent.
10 και ανοιγει το ωτιον αυτων εις διδασκαλιαν, και απο της ανομιας προσταζει να επιστρεψωσιν.	10 Likewise, he will open their ears to his correction, and he will speak to them, so that they may return from iniquity.
11 Εαν υπακουσωσι και δουλευσωσι, θελουσι τελειωσει τας ημερας αυτων εν αγαθοις και τα ετη αυτων εν ευφροσυναις.	11 If they listen and obey, they will fill their days with goodness and complete their years in glory.
12 Αλλ' εαν δεν υπακουσωσι, θελουσι διαπερασθη υπο ρομφαιας και θελουσι τελευτησει εν αγνωσια.	12 But if they will not listen, they will pass away by the sword and will be consumed by foolishness.
13 Οι δε υποκριται την καρδιαν επισωρευουσιν οργην? δεν θελουσι βοησει οταν δεση αυτους?	13 The false and the crafty provoke the wrath of God, yet they do not cry out to him when they are chained.
14 αυτοι αποθνησκουσιν εν τη νεοτητι, και η ζωη αυτων τελειονει μεταξυ των ασελγων.	14 Their soul will die in a storm, and their life, among the unmanly.
15 Λυτρονει τον τεθλιμμενον εν τη θλιψει αυτου και ανοιγει τα ωτα αυτων εν συμφορα?	15 He will rescue the poor from his anguish, and he will open his ear during tribulation.
16 και ουτως ηθελε σε εκβαλει απο της στενοχωριας εις ευρυχωριαν, οπου δεν υπαρχει στενοχωρια? και το παρατιθεμενον επι της τραπεζης σου θελει εισθαι πληρες παχους.	16 Therefore, he will save you from the narrow mouth very widely, even though it has no foundation under it. Moreover, your respite at table will be full of fatness.
17 Αλλα συ εξεπληρωσας δικην ασεβους? δικη και κρισις θελουσι σε καταλαβει.	17 Your case has been judged like that of the impious; you will withdraw your plea and your judgment.
18 Επειδη υπαρχει θυμος, προσεχε μη σε εξαφανιση δια της προσβολης αυτου? τοτε ουδε μεγα λυτρον ηθελε σε λυτρωσει.	18 Therefore, do not let anger overwhelm you so that you oppress another; neither should you allow a multitude of gifts to influence you.
19 Θελει αποβλεψει εις τα πλουτη σου, ουτε εις χρυσιον ουτε εις πασαν την ισχυν της δυναμεως;	19 Lay down your greatness without distress, and put aside all of your power with courage.
20 Μη επιποθει την νυκτα, καθ' ην οι λαοι εκκοπτονται εν τω τοπω αυτων.	20 Do not prolong the night, even if people rise on their behalf.
21 Προσεχε, μη στραφης προς την ανομιαν? διοτι συ προεκρινας τουτο μαλλον παρα την θλιψιν.	21 Be careful that you do not turn to iniquity; for, after your misery, you have begun to follow this.
22 Ιδου, ο Θεος ειναι υψωμενος δια της δυναμεως αυτου? τις διδασκει ως αυτος;	22 Behold, God is exalted in his strength, and there is no one like him among the law-givers.
23 Τις διωρισεν εις αυτον την οδον αυτου; η τις δυναται να ειπη, Επραξας ανομιαν;	23 Who is able to investigate his ways? And who can say, “You have done iniquity,” to him?
24 Ενθυμου να μεγαλυνης το εργον αυτου, το οποιον θεωρουσιν οι ανθρωποι.	24 Remember that you are ignorant of his work, yet men have sung its praises.
25 Πας ανθρωπος βλεπει αυτο? ο ανθρωπος θεωρει αυτο μακροθεν.	25 All men consider him; and each one ponders from a distance.
26 Ιδου, ο Θεος ειναι μεγας και ακατανοητος εις ημας, και ο αριθμος των ετων αυτου ανεξερευνητος.	26 Behold, God is great, defeating our knowledge; the number of his years is inestimable.
27 Οταν ανασυρη τας ρανιδας του υδατος, αυται καταχεουσιν εκ των ατμων αυτου βροχην,	27 He carries away the drops of rain, and he sends forth showers like a raging whirlpool;
28 την οποιαν τα νεφη ραινουσιν? αφθονως σταλαζουσιν επι τον ανθρωπον.	28 they flow from the clouds that are woven above everything.
29 Δυναται τις ετι να εννοηση τας εφαπλωσεις των νεφελων, τον κροτον της σκηνης αυτου;	29 If he wills it, he extends the clouds as his tent
30 Ιδου, εφαπλονει το φως αυτου επ' αυτην και σκεπαζει τους πυθμενας της θαλασσης?	30 and shines with his light from above; likewise, he covers the oceans within his tent.
31 επειδη δι' αυτων δικαζει τους λαους και διδει τροφην αφθονως.	31 For he judges the people by these things, and he gives food to a multitude of mortals.
32 Εν ταις παλαμαις αυτου κρυπτει την αστραπην? και προσταζει αυτην εις ο, τι εχει να απαντηση.	32 Within his hands, he hides the light, and he commands it to come forth again.
33 Παραγγελλει εις αυτην υπερ του φιλου αυτου, κατα δε του ασεβους ετοιμαζει οργην.	33 He announces it to his friend, for it is his possession and he is able to reach out to it.
