LXX Brenton's Greek Septuagint
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Σωφὰρ ὁ Μιναῖος, λέγει,
1 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered,
2 Οὐχ οὕτως ὑπελάμβανον ἀντερεῖν σε ταῦτα, καὶ οὐχὶ συνίετε μᾶλλον ἢ καὶ ἐγώ.
2 “Therefore my thoughts answer me, even by reason of my haste that is in me.
3 Παιδείαν ἐντροπῆς μου ἀκούσομαι, καὶ πνεῦμα ἐκ τῆς συνέσεως ἀποκρίνεταί μοι.
3 I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame. The spirit of my understanding answers me.
4 Μὴ ταῦτα ἔγνως ἀπὸ τοῦ ἔτι, ἀφʼ οὗ ἐτέθη ἄνθρωπος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς;
4 Don’t you know this from old time, since man was placed on earth,
5 Εὐφροσύνη δὲ ἀσεβῶν πτῶμα ἐξαίσιον, χαρμονὴ δὲ παρανόμων ἀπώλεια·
5 that the triumphing of the wicked is short, the joy of the godless but for a moment?
6 ἐὰν ἀναβῇ εἰς οὐρανὸν αὐτοῦ τὰ δῶρα, ἡ δὲ θυσία αὐτοῦ νεφῶν ἅψηται.
6 Though his height mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to the clouds,
7 Ὅταν γὰρ δοκῇ ἤδη κατεστηρίχθαι, τότε εἰς τέλος ἀπολεῖται· οἱ δὲ εἰδότες αὐτὸν ἐροῦσι, ποῦ ἐστιν;
7 yet he will perish forever like his own dung. Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’
8 Ὥσπερ ἐνύπνιον ἐκπετασθὲν οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῇ, ἔπτη δὲ ὥσπερ φάσμα νυκτερινόν.
8 He will fly away as a dream, and will not be found. Yes, he will be chased away like a vision of the night.
9 Ὀφθαλμὸς παρέβλεψε, καὶ οὐ προσθήσει, καὶ οὐκ ἔτι προσνοήσει αὐτὸν ὁ τόπος αὐτοῦ.
9 The eye which saw him will see him no more, neither will his place see him any more.
10 Τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ ὀλέσαισαν ἥττονες, αἱ δὲ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ πυρσεύσαισαν ὀδύνας.
10 His children will seek the favor of the poor. His hands will give back his wealth.
11 Ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ ἐνεπλήσθησαν νεότητος αὐτοῦ, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ χώματος κοιμηθήσεται.
11 His bones are full of his youth, but youth will lie down with him in the dust.
12 Ἐὰν γλυκανθῇ ἐν στόματι αὐτοῦ κακία, κρύψει αὐτὴν ὑπὸ τὴν γλῶσσαν αὐτοῦ,
12 “Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue,
13 οὐ φείσεται αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐκ ἐγκαταλείψει αὐτήν· καὶ συνάξει αὐτὴν ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λάρυγγος αὐτοῦ,
13 though he spare it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within his mouth,
14 καὶ οὐ μὴ δυνηθῇ βοηθῆσαι ἑαυτῷ· χολὴ ἀσπίδος ἐν γαστρὶ αὐτοῦ.
14 yet his food in his bowels is turned. It is cobra venom within him.
15 Πλοῦτος ἀδίκως συναγόμενος ἐξεμεθήσεται, ἐξ οἰκίας αὐτοῦ ἐξελκύσει αὐτὸν ἄγγελος.
15 He has swallowed down riches, and he will vomit them up again. God will cast them out of his belly.
16 Θυμὸν δὲ δρακόντων θηλάσειεν, ἀνέλοι δὲ αὐτὸν γλῶσσα ὄφεως.
16 He will suck cobra venom. The viper’s tongue will kill him.
17 Μὴ ἴδοι ἄμελξιν νομάδων, μηδὲ νομὰς μέλιτος καὶ βουτύρου.
17 He will not look at the rivers, the flowing streams of honey and butter.
18 Εἰς κενὰ καὶ μάταια ἐκοπίασε, πλοῦτον ἐξ οὗ οὐ γεύσεται· ὥσπερ στρίφνος ἀμάσητος, ἀκατάποτος.
18 He will restore that for which he labored, and will not swallow it down. He will not rejoice according to the substance that he has gotten.
19 Πολλῶν γὰρ δυνατῶν οἴκους ἔθλασε· δίαιταν δὲ ἥρπασε, καὶ οὐκ ἔστησεν.
19 For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor. He has violently taken away a house, and he will not build it up.
20 Οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῦ σωτηρία τοῖς ὑπάρχουσιν, ἐν ἐπιθυμίᾳ αὐτοῦ οὐ σωθήσεται.
20 “Because he knew no quietness within him, he will not save anything of that in which he delights.
21 Οὐκ ἔστιν ὑπόλειμμα τοῖς βρώμασιν αὐτοῦ, διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἀνθήσει αὐτοῦ τὰ ἀγαθά.
21 There was nothing left that he didn’t devour, therefore his prosperity will not endure.
22 Ὅταν δὲ δοκῇ ἤδη πεπληρῶσθαι, θλιβήσεται, πᾶσα δὲ ἀνάγκη ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ἐπελεύσεται.
22 In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress will overtake him. The hand of everyone who is in misery will come on him.
23 Εἴ πῶς εἶ πληρῶσαι γαστέρα αὐτοῦ, ἐπαποστείλαι ἐπʼ αὐτὸν θυμὸν ὀργῆς, νίψαι ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ὀδύνας,
23 When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him. It will rain on him while he is eating.
24 καὶ οὐ μὴ σωθῇ ἐκ χειρὸς σιδήρου· τρώσαι αὐτὸν τόξον χάλκειον.
24 He will flee from the iron weapon. The bronze arrow will strike him through.
25 Διεξέλθοι δὲ διὰ σώματος αὐτοῦ βέλος, ἄστρα δὲ ἐν διαίταις αὐτοῦ· περιπατήσαισαν ἐπʼ αὐτῷ φόβοι,
25 He draws it out, and it comes out of his body. Yes, the glittering point comes out of his liver. Terrors are on him.
26 πᾶν δὲ σκότος αὐτῷ ὑπομείναι· κατέδεται αὐτὸν πῦρ ἄκαυστον, κακώσαι δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπήλυτος τὸν οἶκον.
26 All darkness is laid up for his treasures. An unfanned fire will devour him. It will consume that which is left in his tent.
27 Ἀνακάλυψαι δὲ αὐτοῦ ὁ οὐρανὸς τὰς ἀνομίας, γῆ δὲ ἐπανασταίη αὐτῷ.
27 The heavens will reveal his iniquity. The earth will rise up against him.
28 Ἑλκύσαι τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ἀπώλεια εἰς τέλος, ἡμέρα ὀργῆς ἐπέλθοι αὐτῷ.
28 The increase of his house will depart. They will rush away in the day of his wrath.
29 Αὕτη ἡ μέρις ἀνθρώπου ἀσεβοῦς παρὰ Κυρίου, καὶ κτῆμα ὑπαρχόντων αὐτῷ παρὰ τοῦ ἐπισκόπου.
29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, the heritage appointed to him by God.”
