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 Ιδού, ταύτα πάντα είδεν ο οφθαλμός μου· το ωτίον μου ήκουσε και ενόησε ταύτα.
1 “Behold, my eye has seen all this. My ear has heard and understood it.
2 Καθώς γνωρίζετε σεις, γνωρίζω και εγώ· δεν είμαι κατώτερος υμών.
2 What you know, I know also. I am not inferior to you.
3 Αλλ' όμως θέλω λαλήσει προς τον Παντοδύναμον, και επιθυμώ να διαλεχθώ μετά του Θεού.
3 “Surely I would speak to the Almighty. I desire to reason with God.
4 Σεις δε είσθε εφευρεταί ψεύδους· είσθε πάντες ιατροί ανωφελείς.
4 But you are forgers of lies. You are all physicians of no value.
5 Είθε να εσιωπάτε παντάπασι και τούτο ήθελεν είσθαι εις εσάς σοφία.
5 Oh that you would be completely silent! Then you would be wise.
6 Ακούσατε τώρα τους λόγους μου, και προσέξατε εις τας δικαιολογίας των χειλέων μου.
6 Hear now my reasoning. Listen to the pleadings of my lips.
7 Θέλετε λαλεί άδικα υπέρ του Θεού; και θέλετε προφέρει δόλια υπέρ αυτού;
7 Will you speak unrighteously for God, and talk deceitfully for him?
8 Θέλετε κάμει προσωποληψίαν υπέρ αυτού; θέλετε δικολογήσει υπέρ του Θεού;
8 Will you show partiality to him? Will you contend for God?
9 Είναι καλόν να σας εξιχνιάση; ή καθώς άνθρωπος περιγελά άνθρωπον, θέλετε περιγελά αυτόν;
9 Is it good that he should search you out? Or as one deceives a man, will you deceive him?
10 Εξάπαντος θέλει σας εξελέγξει, εάν κρυφίως προσωποληπτήτε.
10 He will surely reprove you if you secretly show partiality.
11 Το μεγαλείον αυτού δεν θέλει σας τρομάξει, και ο φόβος αυτού πέσει εφ' υμάς;
11 Won’t his majesty make you afraid and his dread fall on you?
12 τα απομνημονεύματά σας ισοδυναμούσι με κονιορτόν, τα προπύργιά σας με προπύργια χώματος.
12 Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes. Your defenses are defenses of clay.
13 Σιωπήσατε, αφήσατέ με, διά να λαλήσω εγώ, και ας έλθη επ' εμέ ό,τι δήποτε.
13 “Be silent! Leave me alone, that I may speak. Let come on me what will.
14 διά τι πιάνω τας σάρκας μου με τους οδόντας μου και βάλλω την ζωήν μου εις την χείρα μου;
14 Why should I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand?
15 Και αν με θανατόνη, εγώ θέλω ελπίζει εις αυτόν· πλην θέλω υπερασπισθή τας οδούς μου ενώπιον αυτού.
15 Behold, he will kill me. I have no hope. Nevertheless, I will maintain my ways before him.
16 Αυτός μάλιστα θέλει είσθαι η σωτηρία μου· διότι δεν θέλει ελθεί ενώπιον αυτού υποκριτής.
16 This also will be my salvation, that a godless man will not come before him.
17 Ακροάσθητε προσεκτικώς τον λόγον μου, και την παράστασίν μου με τα ώτα σας.
17 Listen carefully to my speech. Let my declaration be in your ears.
18 Ιδού τώρα, διέταξα την κρίσιν μου· εξεύρω ότι εγώ θέλω δικαιωθή.
18 See now, I have set my cause in order. I know that I am righteous.
19 Τις είναι εκείνος όστις θέλει αντιδιαλεχθή μετ' εμού, διά να σιωπήσω τώρα και να εκπνεύσω;
19 Who is he who will contend with me? For then I would hold my peace and give up the spirit.
20 Μόνον δύο μη κάμης εις εμέ· τότε δεν θέλω κρυφθή από του προσώπου σου·
20 “Only don’t do two things to me, then I will not hide myself from your face:
21 την χείρα σου απομάκρυνον απ' εμού· και ο φόβος σου ας μη με τρομάξη.
21 withdraw your hand far from me, and don’t let your terror make me afraid.
22 Έπειτα κάλεσον, και εγώ θέλω αποκριθή· ή ας λαλήσω, και αποκρίθητί μοι.
22 Then call, and I will answer, or let me speak, and you answer me.
23 Πόσαι είναι αι ανομίαι μου και αι αμαρτίαι μου; φανέρωσόν μοι το έγκλημά μου και την αμαρτίαν μου.
23 How many are my iniquities and sins? Make me know my disobedience and my sin.
24 Διά τι κρύπτεις το πρόσωπόν σου και με θεωρείς ως εχθρόν σου;
24 Why do you hide your face, and consider me your enemy?
25 Θέλεις κατατρίψει φύλλον φερόμενον υπό του ανέμου; και θέλεις κατατρέξει άχυρον ξηρόν;
25 Will you harass a driven leaf? Will you pursue the dry stubble?
26 Διότι γράφεις πικρίας εναντίον μου, και αποδίδεις εις εμέ τας ανομίας της νεότητός μου·
26 For you write bitter things against me, and make me inherit the iniquities of my youth.
27 και βάλλεις τους πόδας μου εις δεσμά, και παραφυλάττεις πάσας τας οδούς μου· σημειόνεις τα ίχνη των ποδών εμού·
27 You also put my feet in the stocks, and mark all my paths. You set a bound to the soles of my feet,
28 όστις φθείρεται ως πράγμα σεσηπός, ως ένδυμα σκωληκόβρωτον.
28 though I am decaying like a rotten thing, like a garment that is moth-eaten.
