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 Τότε ο Ιώβ απεκρίθη και είπε·
1 Then Job answered,
2 Πολλά τοιαύτα ήκουσα· άθλιοι παρηγορηταί είσθε πάντες.
2 “I have heard many such things. You are all miserable comforters!
3 Έχουσι τέλος αι ματαιολογίαι; ή τι σε ενθαρρύνει εις το να αποκρίνησαι;
3 Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?
4 Και εγώ εδυνάμην να λαλήσω καθώς σείς· εάν η ψυχή σας ήτο εις τον τόπον της ψυχής μου, ηδυνάμην να επισωρεύσω λόγους εναντίον σας, και να κινήσω εναντίον σας την κεφαλήν μου.
4 I also could speak as you do. If your soul were in my soul’s place, I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you,
5 Ήθελον σας ενισχύσει με το στόμα μου, και η κίνησις των χειλέων μου ήθελε σας ανακουφίσει.
5 but I would strengthen you with my mouth. The solace of my lips would relieve you.
6 Αν λαλώ, ο πόνος μου δεν ανακουφίζεται· και αν σιωπώ, ποία ελάττωσις γίνεται εις εμέ;
6 “Though I speak, my grief is not subsided. Though I forbear, what am I eased?
7 Αλλά τώρα με υπερεβάρυνεν· ηρήμωσας πάσαν την συνοδίαν μου.
7 But now, God, you have surely worn me out. You have made all my company desolate.
8 Και αι ρυτίδες με τας οποίας με εσημείωσας, είναι μαρτυρία· και η ισχνότης μου ανισταμένη εις εμέ, μαρτυρεί επί του προσώπου μου.
8 You have shriveled me up. This is a witness against me. My leanness rises up against me. It testifies to my face.
9 Με διασπαράττει ο εχθρός μου εν τω θυμώ αυτού και με μισεί· τρίζει τους οδόντας αυτού εναντίον μου· οξύνει τους οφθαλμούς αυτού επ' εμέ.
9 He has torn me in his wrath and persecuted me. He has gnashed on me with his teeth. My adversary sharpens his eyes on me.
10 Ανοίγουσι το στόμα αυτών κατ' εμού· με τύπτουσι κατά της σιαγόνος υβριστικώς· συνήχθησαν ομού επ' εμέ.
10 They have gaped on me with their mouth. They have struck me on the cheek reproachfully. They gather themselves together against me.
11 Ο Θεός με παρέδωκεν εις τον άδικον, και με έρριψεν εις χείρας ασεβών.
11 God delivers me to the ungodly, and casts me into the hands of the wicked.
12 Ήμην εν ησυχία, και με κατεσπάραξε· και πιάσας με από του τραχήλου, με κατεσύντριψε, και με έθεσε σκοπόν αυτού.
12 I was at ease, and he broke me apart. Yes, he has taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces. He has also set me up for his target.
13 Οι τοξόται αυτού με περιεκύκλωσαν· διαπερά τα νεφρά μου, και δεν φείδεται· εκχέει την χολήν μου επί την γην.
13 His archers surround me. He splits my kidneys apart, and does not spare. He pours out my bile on the ground.
14 Με συντρίβει με πληγήν επί πληγήν· έδραμεν επ' εμέ ως γίγας.
14 He breaks me with breach on breach. He runs at me like a giant.
15 Σάκκον έρραψα επί το δέρμα μου, και εμόλυνα το κέρας μου με χώμα.
15 I have sewed sackcloth on my skin, and have thrust my horn in the dust.
16 Το πρόσωπόν μου κατεκάη υπό του κλαυθμού, και σκιά θανάτου είναι επί των βλεφάρων μου·
16 My face is red with weeping. Deep darkness is on my eyelids,
17 ενώ αδικία δεν υπάρχει εν ταις χερσί μου, και η προσευχή μου είναι καθαρά.
17 although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.
18 Ω γη, μη σκεπάσης το αίμα μου, και ας μη υπάρχη τόπος διά την κραυγήν μου,
18 “Earth, don’t cover my blood. Let my cry have no place to rest.
19 και τώρα, ιδού, ο μάρτυς μου είναι εν τω ουρανώ, και η μαρτυρία μου εν τοις υψίστοις.
19 Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven. He who vouches for me is on high.
20 Οι φίλοι μου είναι οι εμπαίζοντές με· ο οφθαλμός μου σταλάζει δάκρυα προς τον Θεόν.
20 My friends scoff at me. My eyes pour out tears to God,
21 Να ήτο δυνατόν να διαδικάζηταί τις προς τον Θεόν, ως άνθρωπος προς τον πλησίον αυτού.
21 that he would maintain the right of a man with God, of a son of man with his neighbor!
22 Διότι ήλθον τα ηριθμημένα έτη· και θέλω υπάγει την οδόν, οπόθεν δεν θέλω επιστρέψει.
22 For when a few years have come, I will go the way of no return.
