Notes on this text (1)
LXX Brenton's Greek Septuagint
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Βαλδὰδ ὁ Σαυχίτης, λέγει,
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2 Μέχρι τίνος λαλήσεις ταῦτα, πνεῦμα πολυῤῥῆμον τοῦ στόματός σου;
2 “How long will you speak these things? Shall the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?
3 Μὴ ὁ Κύριος ἀδικήσει κρίνων; ἢ ὁ τὰ πάντα ποιήσας ταράξει τὸ δίκαιον;
3 Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?
4 Εἰ οἱ υἱοί σου ἥμαρτον ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ, ἀπέστειλεν ἐν χειρὶ ἀνομίας αὐτῶν.
4 If your children have sinned against him, he has delivered them into the hand of their disobedience.
5 Σὺ δὲ ὄρθριζε πρὸς Κύριον παντοκράτορα δεόμενος.
5 If you want to seek God diligently, make your supplication to the Almighty.
6 Εἰ καθαρὸς εἶ καὶ ἀληθινὸς, δεήσεως ἐπακούσεταί σου, ἀποκαταστήσει δέ σοι δίαιταν δικαιοσύνης.
6 If you were pure and upright, surely now he would awaken for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.
7 Ἔσται οὖν τὰ μὲν πρῶτά σου ὀλίγα, τὰ δὲ ἔσχατά σου ἀμύθητα.
7 Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would greatly increase.
8 Ἐπερώτησον γὰρ γενεὰν πρώτην, ἐξιχνίασον δὲ κατὰ γένος πατέρων·
8 “Please inquire of past generations. Find out about the learning of their fathers.
9 Χθιζοὶ γάρ ἐσμεν, καὶ οὐκ οἴδαμεν· σκιὰ γάρ ἐστιν ἡμῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὁ βίος·
9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days on earth are a shadow.)
10 Ἢ οὐχ οὗτοί σε διδάξουσιν καὶ ἀναγγελοῦσι, καὶ ἐκ καρδίας ἐξάξουσι ῥήματα;
10 Shall they not teach you, tell you, and utter words out of their heart?
11 Μὴ θάλλει πάπυρος ἄνευ ὕδατος, ἢ ὑψωθήσεται βούτομον ἄνευ πότου;
11 “Can the papyrus grow up without mire? Can the rushes grow without water?
12 Ἔτι ὂν ἐπὶ ῥίζης, καὶ οὐ μὴ θερισθῇ, πρὸ τοῦ πιεῖν πᾶσα βοτάνη οὐχὶ ξηραίνεται;
12 While it is yet in its greenness, not cut down, it withers before any other reed.
13 Οὕτως τοίνυν ἔσται τὰ ἔσχατα πάντων τῶν ἐπιλανθανομένων τοῦ Κυρίου· ἐλπὶς γὰρ ἀσεβοῦς ἀπολεῖται·
13 So are the paths of all who forget God. The hope of the godless man will perish,
14 Ἀοίκητος γὰρ αὐτοῦ ἔσται ὁ οἶκος· ἀράχνη δὲ αὐτοῦ ἀποβήσεται ἡ σκηνή.
14 whose confidence will break apart, whose trust is a spider’s web.
15 Ἐὰν ὑπερείσῃ τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ, οὐ μὴ στῇ· ἐπιλαβομένου δὲ αὐτοῦ, οὐ μὴ ὑπομείνῃ·
15 He will lean on his house, but it will not stand. He will cling to it, but it will not endure.
16 Ὑγρὸς γάρ ἐστιν ὑπὸ ἡλίου· καὶ ἐκ σαπρίας αὐτοῦ ὁ ῥάδαμνος αὐτοῦ ἐξελεύσεται.
16 He is green before the sun. His shoots go out along his garden.
17 Ἐπὶ συναγωγὴν λίθων κοιμᾶται· ἐν δὲ μέσῳ χαλίκων ζήσεται.
17 His roots are wrapped around the rock pile. He sees the place of stones.
18 Ἐὰν καταπίῃ, ὁ τόπος ψεύσεται αὐτόν· οὐχ ἑώρακας τοιαῦτα,
18 If he is destroyed from his place, then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have not seen you.’
19 ὅτι καταστροφὴ ἀσεβοῦς τοιαύτη, ἐκ δὲ γῆς ἄλλον ἀναβλαστήσει.
19 Behold, this is the joy of his way. Out of the earth, others will spring.
20 Ὁ γὰρ Κύριος οὐ μὴ ἀποποιήσηται τὸν ἄκακον· πᾶν δὲ δῶρον ἀσεβοῦς οὐ δέξεται.
20 “Behold, God will not cast away a blameless man, neither will he uphold the evildoers.
21 Ἀληθινῶν δὲ στόμα ἐμπλήσει γέλωτος, τὰ δὲ χείλη αὐτῶν ἐξομολογήσεως.
21 He will still fill your mouth with laughter, your lips with shouting.
22 Οἱ δὲ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῶν ἐνδύσονται αἰσχύνην, δίαιτα δὲ ἀσεβοῦς οὐκ ἔσται.
22 Those who hate you will be clothed with shame. The tent of the wicked will be no more.”
