Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Και απεκρίθη ο Σωφάρ ο Νααμαθίτης και είπε·
1 Then Zophar, the Naamathite, answered,
2 Δεν δίδεται απόκρισις εις το πλήθος των λόγων; και ο πολύλογος θέλει δικαιωθή;
2 “Shouldn’t the multitude of words be answered? Should a man full of talk be justified?
3 Αι φλυαρίαι σου θέλουσιν αποστομώσει τους ανθρώπους; και όταν περιγελάς, δεν θέλει σε καταισχύνει τις;
3 Should your boastings make men hold their peace? When you mock, will no man make you ashamed?
4 Διότι είπες, Η ομιλία μου είναι καθαρά, και είμαι καθαρός ενώπιόν σου.
4 For you say, ‘My doctrine is pure. I am clean in your eyes.’
5 Αλλ' είθε να ελάλει ο Θεός και να ήνοιγε τα χείλη αυτού εναντίον σου.
5 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against you,
6 Και να σοι εφανέρονε τα κρύφια της σοφίας, ότι είναι διπλάσια των όσα γνωρίζονται. Έξευρε λοιπόν, ότι ο Θεός απαιτεί από σου ολιγώτερον της ανομίας σου.
6 that he would show you the secrets of wisdom! For true wisdom has two sides. Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.
7 Δύνασαι να εξιχνιάσης τα βάθη του Θεού; δύνασαι να εξιχνιάσης τον Παντοδύναμον με εντέλειαν;
7 “Can you fathom the mystery of God? Or can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
8 Ταύτα είναι ως τα ύψη του ουρανού· τι δύνασαι να κάμης; είναι βαθύτερα του άδου· τι δύνασαι να γνωρίσης;
8 They are high as heaven. What can you do? They are deeper than Sheol. What can you know?
9 Το μέτρον αυτών είναι μακρότερον της γης, και πλατύτερον της θαλάσσης.
9 Its measure is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
10 Εάν θελήση να χαλάση και να κλείση, ή να συνάξη, τότε τις δύναται να εμποδίση αυτόν;
10 If he passes by, or confines, or convenes a court, then who can oppose him?
11 Διότι αυτός γνωρίζει την ματαιότητα των ανθρώπων, και βλέπει την ασέβειαν· και δεν θέλει εξετάσει;
11 For he knows false men. He sees iniquity also, even though he doesn’t consider it.
12 Ο δε μάταιος άνθρωπος υπερηφανεύεται, και γεννάται ο άνθρωπος άγριον ονάριον.
12 An empty-headed man becomes wise when a man is born as a wild donkey’s colt.
13 Εάν συ ετοιμάσης την καρδίαν σου και εκτείνης τας χείρας σου προς αυτόν·
13 “If you set your heart aright, stretch out your hands toward him.
14 εάν την ανομίαν, την εν χερσί σου, απομακρύνης και δεν αφίνης να κατοικήση ασέβεια εν ταις σκηναίς σου·
14 If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away. Don’t let unrighteousness dwell in your tents.
15 τότε βεβαίως θέλεις υψώσει το πρόσωπόν σου ακηλίδωτον· μάλιστα θέλεις είσθαι σταθερός και δεν θέλεις φοβείσθαι.
15 Surely then you will lift up your face without spot. Yes, you will be steadfast, and will not fear,
16 Διότι συ θέλεις λησμονήσει την θλίψιν· θέλεις ενθυμηθή αυτήν ως ύδατα διαρρεύσαντα·
16 for you will forget your misery. You will remember it like waters that have passed away.
17 και ο καιρός σου θέλει ανατείλει λαμπρότερος της μεσημβρίας· και εάν επέλθη σκότος επί σε, πάλιν θέλεις γείνει ως η αυγή·
17 Life will be clearer than the noonday. Though there is darkness, it will be as the morning.
18 και θέλεις είσθαι ασφαλής, διότι υπάρχει ελπίς εις σέ· ναι, θέλεις σκάπτει διά την σκηνήν σου και θέλεις κοιμάσθαι εν ασφαλεία·
18 You will be secure, because there is hope. Yes, you will search, and will take your rest in safety.
19 θέλεις πλαγιάζει, και ουδείς θέλει σε τρομάζει· και πολλοί θέλουσιν ικετεύει το πρόσωπόν σου.
19 Also you will lie down, and no one will make you afraid. Yes, many will court your favor.
20 Των δε ασεβών οι οφθαλμοί θέλουσι μαρανθή, και καταφύγιον θέλει λείψει απ' αυτών, και η ελπίς αυτών θέλει είσθαι να εκπνεύσωσι.
20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail. They will have no way to flee. Their hope will be the giving up of the spirit.”
