1 Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Βαλδὰδ ὁ Σαυχίτης, λέγει,
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2 Μέχρι τίνος οὐ παύσῃ; ἐπίσχες, ἵνα καὶ αὐτοὶ λαλήσωμεν.
2 “How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
3 Διατί δὲ ὥσπερ τετράποδα σεσιωπήκαμεν ἐναντίον σου;
3 Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean in your sight?
4 Κέχρηταί σοι ὀργή· τί γὰρ ἐὰν σὺ ἀποθάνῃς, ἀοίκητος ἡ ὑπʼ οὐρανόν; ἢ καταστραφήσεται ὄρη ἐκ θεμελίων;
4 You who tear yourself in your anger, will the earth be forsaken for you? Or will the rock be removed out of its place?
5 Καὶ φῶς ἀσεβῶν σβεσθήσεται, καὶ οὐκ ἀποβήσεται αὐτῶν ἡ φλόξ.
5 “Yes, the light of the wicked will be put out. The spark of his fire won’t shine.
6 Τὸ φῶς αὐτοῦ σκότος ἐν διαίτῃ, ὁ δὲ λύχνος ἐπʼ αὐτῷ σβεσθήσεται.
6 The light will be dark in his tent. His lamp above him will be put out.
7 Θηρεύσαισαν ἐλάχιστοι τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ· σφάλαι δὲ αὐτοῦ ἡ βουλή.
7 The steps of his strength will be shortened. His own counsel will cast him down.
8 Ἐμβέβληται δὲ ὁ ποῦς αὐτοῦ ἐν παγίδι, ἐν δικτύῳ ἑλιχθείη.
8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.
9 Ἔλθοισαν δὲ ἐπʼ αὐτὸν παγίδες, κατισχύσει ἐπʼ αὐτὸν διψῶντας.
9 A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him.
10 Κέκρυπται ἐν τῇ γῇ σχοινίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡ σύλληψις αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τρίβον.
10 A noose is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him on the path.
11 Κύκλῳ ὀλέσαισαν αὐτὸν ὀδύναι· πολλοὶ δὲ περὶ πόδα αὐτοῦ ἔλθοισαν ἐν λιμῷ στενῷ·
11 Terrors will make him afraid on every side, and will chase him at his heels.
12 πτῶμα δὲ αὐτῷ ἡτοίμασται ἐξαίσιον.
12 His strength will be famished. Calamity will be ready at his side.
13 Βρωθείησαν αὐτοῦ κλῶνες ποδῶν, κατέδεται δὲ αὐτοῦ τὰ ὡραῖα θάνατος.
13 The members of his body will be devoured. The firstborn of death will devour his members.
14 Ἐκραγείη δέ ἐκ διαίτης αὐτοῦ ἴασις, σχοίη δὲ αὐτὸν ἀνάγκη αἰτίᾳ βασιλικῇ.
14 He will be rooted out of the security of his tent. He will be brought to the king of terrors.
15 Κατασκηνώσει ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ αὐτοῦ ἐν νυκτὶ αὐτοῦ, κατασπαρήσονται τὰ εὐπρεπῆ αὐτοῦ θείῳ.
15 There will dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur will be scattered on his habitation.
16 Ὑποκάτωθεν αἱ ῥίζαι αὐτοῦ ξηρανθήσονται, καὶ ἐπάνωθεν ἐπιπεσεῖται θερισμὸς αὐτοῦ.
16 His roots will be dried up beneath. His branch will be cut off above.
17 Τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτοῦ ἀπόλοιτο ἐκ γῆς, καὶ ὑπάρξει ὄνομα αὐτῷ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐξωτέρω.
17 His memory will perish from the earth. He will have no name in the street.
18 Ἀπώσειεν αὐτὸν ἐκ φωτὸς εἰς σκότος.
18 He will be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
19 Οὐκ ἔσται ἐπίγνωστος ἐν λαῷ αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ σεσωσμένος ἐν τῇ ὑπʼ οὐρανὸν ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ.
19 He will have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he lived.
20 Ἀλλʼ ἐν τοῖς αὐτοῦ ζήσονται ἕτεροι· ἐπʼ αὐτῷ ἐστέναξαν ἔσχατοι, πρώτους δὲ ἔσχε θαῦμα.
20 Those who come after will be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.
21 Οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ οἶκοι ἀδίκων, οὗτος δὲ ὁ τόπος τῶν μὴ εἰδότων τὸν Κύριον.
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn’t know God.”
