Notes on this text (1)
- Ezra and Nehemiah form one book (2 Esdras) in this edition; the reader shows them as Ezra 1–10 and Nehemiah 1–13.
1 Καὶ ἀπὸ ταύτης ἐταράχθη ἡ καρδία μου, καὶ ἀπεῤῥύη ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτῆς.
1 “Yes, at this my heart trembles, and is moved out of its place.
2 Ἄκουε ἀκοὴν ἐν ὀργῇ θυμοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ μελέτη ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐξελεύσεται.
2 Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, the sound that goes out of his mouth.
3 Ὑποκάτω παντὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἡ ἀρχὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ φῶς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πτερύγων τῆς γῆς.
3 He sends it out under the whole sky, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.
4 Ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ βοήσεται φωνῇ, βροντήσει ἐν φωνῇ ὕβρεως αὐτοὺ· καὶ οὐκ ἀνταλλάξει αὐτούς, ὅτι ἀκούσει φωνὴν αὐτοῦ.
4 After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty. He doesn’t hold back anything when his voice is heard.
5 Βροντήσει ὁ ἰσχυρὸς ἐν φωνῇ αὐτοῦ θαυμάσια· ἐποίησε γὰρ μεγάλα ἃ οὐκ ᾔδειμεν,
5 God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can’t comprehend.
6 συντάσσων χιόνι, γίνου ἐπὶ τῆς, γῆς, καὶ χειμὼν ὑετὸς, καὶ χειμὼν ὑετῶν δυναστείας αὐτοῦ.
6 For he says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of his mighty rain.
7 Ἐν χειρὶ παντὸς ἀνθρώπου κατασφραγίζει, ἵνα γνῷ πᾶς ἄνθρωπος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἀσθένειαν.
7 He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he has made may know it.
8 Εἰσῆλθε δὲ θηρία ὑπὸ τὴν σκέπην, ἡσύχασαν δὲ ἐπὶ κοίτης.
8 Then the animals take cover, and remain in their dens.
9 Ἐκ ταμιείων ἐπέρχονται ὀδύναι, ἀπὸ δὲ ἀκρωτηρίων ψῦχος·
9 Out of its room comes the storm, and cold out of the north.
10 Καὶ ἀπὸ πνοῆς ἰσχυροῦ δώσει πάγος· οἰακίζει δὲ τὸ ὕδωρ ὡς ἐὰν βούληται,
10 By the breath of God, ice is given, and the width of the waters is frozen.
11 καὶ ἐκλεκτὸν καταπλάσσει νεφέλη· διασκορπιεῖ νέφος φῶς αὐτοῦ,
11 Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.
12 καὶ αὐτὸς κυκλώματα διαστρέψει, ἐν θεεβουλαθὼθ, εἰς ἔργα αὐτῶν· πάντα ὅσα ἂν ἐντείληται αὐτοῖς, ταῦτα συντέτακται παρʼ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς,
12 It is turned around by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them on the surface of the habitable world,
13 ἐάν τε εἰς παιδείαν, ἐὰν εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ, ἐὰν εἰς ἔλεος εὑρήσει αὐτόν.
13 whether it is for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.
14 Ἐνωτίζου ταῦτα, Ἰώβ· στῆθι νουθετούμενος δύναμιν Κυρίου.
14 “Listen to this, Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Οἴδαμεν ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς ἔθετο ἔργα αὐτοῦ, φῶς ποιήσας ἐκ σκότους.
15 Do you know how God controls them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
16 Ἐπίσταται δὲ διάκρισιν νεφῶν, ἐξαίσια δὲ πτώματα πονηρῶν.
16 Do you know the workings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
17 Σοῦ δὲ ἡ στολὴ θερμὴ, ἡσυχάζεται δὲ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
17 You whose clothing is warm when the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
18 Στερεώσεις μετʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς παλαιώματα, ἰσχυραὶ ὡς ὅρασις ἐπιχύσεως.
18 Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?
19 Διατὶ δίδαξόν με, τί ἐροῦμεν αὐτῷ; καὶ παυσώμεθα πολλὰ λέγοντες.
19 Teach us what we will tell him, for we can’t make our case by reason of darkness.
20 Μὴ βίβλος ἢ γραμματεύς μοι παρέστηκεν, ἵνα ἄνθρωπον ἑστηκὼς κατασιωπήσω;
20 Will it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
21 Πᾶσι δὲ οὐχ ὁρατὸν τὸ φῶς, τηλαυγές ἐστιν ἐν τοῖς παλαιώμασιν, ὥσπερ τὸ παρʼ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ νεφῶν.
21 Now men don’t see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes, and clears them.
22 Ἀπὸ Βοῤῥᾶ νέφη χρυσαυγοῦντα, ἐπὶ τούτοις μεγάλη ἡ δόξα καὶ τιμὴ παντοκράτορος,
22 Out of the north comes golden splendor. With God is awesome majesty.
23 καὶ οὐχ εὑρίσκομεν ἄλλον ὅμοιον τῇ ἰσχύϊ αὐτοῦ· ὁ τὰ δίκαια κρίνων, οὐκ οἴει ἐπακούειν αὐτόν;
23 We can’t reach the Almighty. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.
24 Διὸ φοβηθήσονται αὐτὸν οἱ ἄνθρωποι, φοβηθήσονται δὲ αὐτὸν καὶ οἱ σοφοὶ καρδίᾳ.
24 Therefore men revere him. He doesn’t regard any who are wise of heart.”
