ΙΩΒ - Giobbe - Job 13

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 ιδου ταυτα εωρακεν μου ο οφθαλμος και ακηκοεν μου το ους	1 Lo, all this my eye has seen; my ear has heard and perceived it.
2 και οιδα οσα και υμεις επιστασθε και ουκ ασυνετωτερος ειμι υμων	2 What you know, I also know; I fall not short of you.
3 ου μην δε αλλ' εγω προς κυριον λαλησω ελεγξω δε εναντιον αυτου εαν βουληται	3 But I would speak with the Almighty; I wish to reason with God.
4 υμεις δε εστε ιατροι αδικοι και ιαται κακων παντες	4 You are glossing over falsehoods and offering vain remedies, every one of you!
5 ειη δε υμιν κωφευσαι και αποβησεται υμιν εις σοφιαν	5 Oh, that you would be altogether silent! This for you would be wisdom.
6 ακουσατε ελεγχον στοματος μου κρισιν δε χειλεων μου προσεχετε	6 Hear now the rebuke I shall utter and listen to the reproof from my lips.
7 ποτερον ουκ εναντι κυριου λαλειτε εναντι δε αυτου φθεγγεσθε δολον	7 Is it for God that you speak falsehood? Is it for him that you utter deceit?
8 η υποστελεισθε υμεις δε αυτοι κριται γενεσθε	8 Is it for him that you show partiality? Do you play advocate on behalf of God?
9 καλον γε εαν εξιχνιαση υμας ει γαρ τα παντα ποιουντες προστεθησεσθε αυτω	9 Will it be well when he shall search you out? Would you impose on him as one does on men?
10 ουθεν ηττον ελεγξει υμας ει δε και κρυφη προσωπα θαυμασετε	10 He will openly rebuke you if even in secret you show partiality.
11 ποτερον ουχι δεινα αυτου στροβησει υμας φοβος δε παρ' αυτου επιπεσειται υμιν	11 Surely will his majesty affright you and the dread of him fall upon you.
12 αποβησεται δε υμων το αγαυριαμα ισα σποδω το δε σωμα πηλινον	12 Your reminders are ashy maxims, your fabrications are mounds of clay.
13 κωφευσατε ινα λαλησω και αναπαυσωμαι θυμου	13 Be silent, let me alone! that I may speak and give vent to my feelings.
14 αναλαβων τας σαρκας μου τοις οδουσιν ψυχην δε μου θησω εν χειρι	14 I will carry my flesh between my teeth, and take my life in my hand.
15 εαν με χειρωσηται ο δυναστης επει και ηρκται η μην λαλησω και ελεγξω εναντιον αυτου	15 Slay me though he might, I will wait for him; I will defend my conduct before him.
16 και τουτο μοι αποβησεται εις σωτηριαν ου γαρ εναντιον αυτου δολος εισελευσεται	16 And this shall be my salvation, that no impious man can come into his presence.
17 ακουσατε ακουσατε τα ρηματα μου αναγγελω γαρ υμων ακουοντων	17 Pay careful heed to my speech, and give my statement a hearing.
18 ιδου εγω εγγυς ειμι του κριματος μου οιδα εγω οτι δικαιος αναφανουμαι	18 Behold, I have prepared my case, I know that I am in the right.
19 τις γαρ εστιν ο κριθησομενος μοι οτι νυν κωφευσω και εκλειψω	19 If anyone can make a case against me, then I shall be silent and die.
20 δυειν δε μοι χρηση τοτε απο του προσωπου σου ου κρυβησομαι	20 These things only do not use against me, then from your presence I need not hide:
21 την χειρα απ' εμου απεχου και ο φοβος σου μη με καταπλησσετω	21 Withdraw your hand far from me, and let not the terror of you frighten me.
22 ειτα καλεσεις εγω δε σοι υπακουσομαι η λαλησεις εγω δε σοι δωσω ανταποκρισιν	22 Then call me, and I will respond; or let me speak first, and answer me.
23 ποσαι εισιν αι αμαρτιαι μου και αι ανομιαι μου διδαξον με τινες εισιν	23 What are my faults and my sins? My misdeeds and my sins make known to me!
24 δια τι απ' εμου κρυπτη ηγησαι δε με υπεναντιον σοι	24 Why do you hide your face and consider me your enemy?
25 η ως φυλλον κινουμενον υπο ανεμου ευλαβηθηση η ως χορτω φερομενω υπο πνευματος αντικεισαι μοι	25 Will you harass a wind-driven leaf, or pursue a withered straw?
26 οτι κατεγραψας κατ' εμου κακα περιεθηκας δε μοι νεοτητος αμαρτιας	26 For you draw up bitter indictments against me, and punish in me the faults of my youth.
27 εθου δε μου τον ποδα εν κωλυματι εφυλαξας δε μου παντα τα εργα εις δε ριζας των ποδων μου αφικου	27 You put my feet in the stocks; you watch all my paths and trace out all my footsteps.
28 ο παλαιουται ισα ασκω η ωσπερ ιματιον σητοβρωτον	28 Though he wears out like a leather bottle, like a garment that the moth has consumed?
