LXX Brenton's Greek Septuagint
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἐλιφὰζ ὁ Θαιμανίτης, λέγει,
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
2 Πότερον οὐχὶ ὁ Κύριός ἐστιν ὁ διδάσκων σύνεσιν καὶ ἐπιστήμην;
2 “Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.
3 Τί γὰρ μέλει τῷ Κυρίῳ, ἐὰν σὺ ἦσθα τοῖς ἔργοις ἄμεμπτος; ἢ ὠφέλεια, ὅτι ἀπλώσῃς τὴν ὁδόν σου;
3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous? Or does it benefit him that you make your ways perfect?
4 Ἢ λόγον σου ποιοῦμενος ἐλέγξεις, καὶ συνεισελεύσεταί σοι εἰς κρίσιν;
4 Is it for your piety that he reproves you, that he enters with you into judgment?
5 Πότερον οὐχ ἡ κακία σου ἐστὶ πολλὴ, ἀναρίθμητοι δέ σου εἰσὶν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι;
5 Isn’t your wickedness great? Neither is there any end to your iniquities.
6 Ἠνεχύραζες δὲ τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου διακενῆς, ἀμφίασιν δὲ γυμνῶν ἀφείλου.
6 For you have taken pledges from your brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
7 Οὐδὲ ὕδωρ διψῶντας ἐπότισας, ἀλλὰ πεινώντων ἐστέρησας ψωμόν·
7 You haven’t given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.
8 Ἐθαύμασας δέ τινων πρόσωπον, ᾤκισας δὲ τοὺς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
8 But as for the mighty man, he had the earth. The honorable man, he lived in it.
9 Χήρας δὲ ἐξαπέστειλας κενὰς, ὀρφανοὺς δὲ ἐκάκωσας.
9 You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
10 Τοιγαροῦν ἐκύκλωσάν σε παγίδες, καὶ ἐσπούδασέ σε πόλεμος ἐξαίσιος.
10 Therefore snares are around you. Sudden fear troubles you,
11 Τὸ φῶς σοι σκότος ἀπέβη, κοιμηθέντα δὲ ὕδωρ σε ἐκάλυψε.
11 or darkness, so that you can not see, and floods of waters cover you.
12 Μὴ οὐχὶ ὁ τὰ ὑψηλὰ ναίων ἐφορᾷ; τοὺς δὲ ὕβρει φερομένους ἐταπείνωσε;
12 “Isn’t God in the heights of heaven? See the height of the stars, how high they are!
13 Καὶ εἶπας, τί ἔγνω ὁ ἰσχυρός; ἢ κατὰ τοῦ γνόφου κρίνει;
13 You say, ‘What does God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?
14 Νεφέλη ἀποκρυφὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐχ ὁραθήσεται, καὶ γῦρον οὐρανοῦ διαπορεύεται.
14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he doesn’t see. He walks on the vault of the sky.’
15 Μὴ τρίβον αἰώνιον φυλάξεις, ἣν ἐπάτησαν ἄνδρες δίκαιοι,
15 Will you keep the old way, which wicked men have trodden,
16 οἳ συνελήφθησαν ἄωροι; ποταμὸς ἐπιῤῥέων οἱ θεμέλιοι αὐτῶν,
16 who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream,
17 οἱ λέγοντες, Κύριος τί ποιήσει ἡμῖν; ἢ τί ἐπάξεται ἡμῖν ὁ παντοκράτωρ;
17 who said to God, ‘Depart from us!’ and, ‘What can the Almighty do for us?’
18 Ὃς δὲ ἐνέπλησε τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν ἀγαθῶν, βουλὴ δὲ ἀσεβῶν πόῤῥω ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ.
18 Yet he filled their houses with good things, but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19 Ἰδόντες δίκαιοι ἐγέλασαν, ἄμεμπτος δὲ ἐμυκτήρισεν.
19 The righteous see it, and are glad. The innocent ridicule them,
20 Εἰ μὴ ἠφανίσθη ἡ ὑπόστασις αὐτῶν, καὶ τὸ κατάλειμμα αὐτῶν καταφάγεται πῦρ.
20 saying, ‘Surely those who rose up against us are cut off. The fire has consumed their remnant.’
21 Γενοῦ δὴ σκληρὸς, ἐὰν ὑπομείνῃς, εἶτα ὁ καρπός σου ἔσται ἐν ἀγαθοῖς.
21 “Acquaint yourself with him now, and be at peace. By it, good will come to you.
22 Ἔκλαβε δὲ ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐξηγορίαν, καὶ ἀνάλαβε τὰ ῥήματα αὐτοῦ ἐν καρδίᾳ σου.
22 Please receive instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.
23 Ἐὰν δὲ ἐπιστραφῇς καὶ ταπεινώσῃς σεαυτὸν ἔναντι Κυρίου, πόῤῥω ἐποίησας ἀπὸ διαίτης σου ἄδικον.
23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up, if you put away unrighteousness far from your tents.
24 Θήσῃ ἐπὶ χώματι ἐν πέτρᾳ, καὶ ὡς πέτρα χειμάῤῥου Σωφίρ.
24 Lay your treasure in the dust, the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.
25 Ἔσται οὖν σου ὁ παντοκράτωρ βοηθὸς ἀπὸ ἐχθρῶν, καθαρὸν δὲ ἀποδώσει σε ὥσπερ ἀργύριον πεπυρωμένον.
25 The Almighty will be your treasure, and precious silver to you.
26 Εἶτα παῤῥησιασθήσῃ ἐναντίον Κυρίου ἀναβλέψας εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν ἱλαρῶς.
26 For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and will lift up your face to God.
27 Εὐξαμένου δέ σου πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰσακούσεταί σου· δώσει δέ σοι ἀποδοῦναι τὰς εὐχάς.
27 You will make your prayer to him, and he will hear you. You will pay your vows.
28 Ἀποκαταστήσει δέ σοι δίαιταν δικαιοσύνης, ἐπὶ δὲ ὁδοῖς σου ἔσται φέγγος·
28 You will also decree a thing, and it will be established to you. Light will shine on your ways.
29 Ὅτι ἐταπείνωσας σεαυτὸν, καὶ ἐρεῖς, ὑπερηφανεύσατο, καὶ κύφοντα ὀφθαλμοῖς σώσει.
29 When they cast down, you will say, ‘be lifted up.’ He will save the humble person.
30 Ῥύσεται ἀθῶον, καὶ διασώθητι ἐν καθαραῖς χερσί σου.
30 He will even deliver him who is not innocent. Yes, he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”
