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 Ιώβ και είπεν·
1 Then Job answered,
2 Έως πότε θέλετε θλίβει την ψυχήν μου, και θέλετε με κατασυντρίβει με λόγους;
2 “How long will you torment me, and crush me with words?
3 Δεκάκις ήδη με ωνειδίσατε· δεν αισχύνεσθε να σκληρύνησθε εναντίον μου;
3 You have reproached me ten times. You aren’t ashamed that you attack me.
4 Και εάν τωόντι έσφαλα, το σφάλμα μου μένει εν εμοί.
4 If it is true that I have erred, my error remains with myself.
5 Αλλ' εάν θέλητε εξάπαντος να μεγαλυνθήτε εναντίον μου, και να ρίπτητε κατ' εμού το όνειδός μου,
5 If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach,
6 μάθετε τώρα ότι ο Θεός με κατέστρεψε, και με περιεκύκλωσε με το δίκτυον αυτού.
6 know now that God has subverted me, and has surrounded me with his net.
7 Ιδού, φωνάζω, Αδικία· αλλά δεν εισακούομαι· επικαλούμαι, αλλ' ουδεμία κρίσις.
7 “Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard. I cry for help, but there is no justice.
8 Έφραξε την οδόν μου, και δεν δύναμαι να περάσω, και έθεσε σκότος εις τας τρίβους μου.
8 He has walled up my way so that I can’t pass, and has set darkness in my paths.
9 Με εξέδυσε την δόξαν μου, και αφήρεσε τον στέφανον της κεφαλής μου.
9 He has stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
10 Με ηφάνισε πανταχόθεν, και χάνομαι· και εξερρίζωσε την ελπίδα μου ως δένδρον.
10 He has broken me down on every side, and I am gone. He has plucked my hope up like a tree.
11 Και εξήψε κατ' εμού τον θυμόν αυτού, και με στοχάζεται ως εχθρόν αυτού.
11 He has also kindled his wrath against me. He counts me among his adversaries.
12 Τα τάγματα αυτού ήλθον ομού και ητοίμασαν την οδόν αυτών εναντίον μου, και εστρατοπέδευσαν πέριξ της σκηνής μου.
12 His troops come on together, build a siege ramp against me, and encamp around my tent.
13 Απεμάκρυνεν απ' εμού τους αδελφούς μου, και ηλλοτριώθησαν όλως απ' εμού οι γνώριμοί μου.
13 “He has put my brothers far from me. My acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.
14 Οι πλησίον μου με αφήκαν, και οι γνωστοί μου με ελησμόνησαν.
14 My relatives have gone away. My familiar friends have forgotten me.
15 Οι κατοικούντες εν τω οίκω μου και αι θεράπαιναί μου με στοχάζονται ως ξένον· ξένος κατεστάθην εις τους οφθαλμούς αυτών.
15 Those who dwell in my house and my maids consider me a stranger. I am an alien in their sight.
16 Καλώ τον υπηρέτην μου, και δεν αποκρίνεται· με το στόμα μου ικέτευσα αυτόν.
16 I call to my servant, and he gives me no answer. I beg him with my mouth.
17 Η πνοή μου έγεινε ξένη εις την γυναίκα μου, και αι παρακλήσεις μου εις τα τέκνα της κοιλίας μου.
17 My breath is offensive to my wife. I am loathsome to the children of my own mother.
18 Και αυτά τα παιδάρια με κατεφρόνησαν· εσηκώθην, και ελάλησαν εναντίον μου.
18 Even young children despise me. If I arise, they speak against me.
19 Πάντες οι μυστικοί φίλοι μου με εβδελύχθησαν· και εκείνοι, τους οποίους ηγάπησα, εστράφησαν εναντίον μου.
19 All my familiar friends abhor me. They whom I loved have turned against me.
20 Τα οστά μου εκολλήθησαν εις το δέρμα μου και εις την σάρκα μου και διεσώθην με το δέρμα των οδόντων μου.
20 My bones stick to my skin and to my flesh. I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
21 Ελεήσατέ με, ελεήσατέ με, σεις φίλοι μου· διότι χειρ Θεού με επλήγωσε.
21 “Have pity on me. Have pity on me, you my friends, for the hand of God has touched me.
22 Διά τι με κατατρέχετε ως ο Θεός, και δεν εχορτάσθητε από των σαρκών μου;
22 Why do you persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23 Ω και να εγράφοντο οι λόγοι μου· να ενετυπούντο εν βιβλίω·
23 “Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
24 να ενεχαράττοντο επί βράχον διά σιδηράς γραφίδος και μολύβδου διαπαντός
24 That with an iron pen and lead they were engraved in the rock forever!
25 Διότι εξεύρω ότι ζη ο Λυτρωτής μου, και θέλει εγερθή εν τοις εσχάτοις καιροίς επί της γής·
25 But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives. In the end, he will stand upon the earth.
26 και αφού μετά το δέρμα μου το σώμα τούτο φθαρή, πάλιν με την σάρκα μου θέλω ιδή τον Θεόν·
26 After my skin is destroyed, then I will see God in my flesh,
27 τον οποίον αυτός εγώ θέλω ιδεί, και θέλουσι θεωρήσει οι οφθαλμοί μου, και ουχί άλλος· οι νεφροί μου κατατήκονται εν τω κόλπω μου.
27 whom I, even I, will see on my side. My eyes will see, and not as a stranger. “My heart is consumed within me.
28 Αλλά σεις έπρεπε να είπητε, Διά τι κατατρέχομεν αυτόν; επειδή η ρίζα του πράγματος ευρίσκεται εν εμοί.
28 If you say, ‘How we will persecute him!’ because the root of the matter is found in me,
29 Φοβήθητε την ρομφαίαν· διότι η ρομφαία είναι ο εκδικητής των ανομιών, διά να γνωρίσητε ότι υπάρχει κρίσις.
29 be afraid of the sword, for wrath brings the punishments of the sword, that you may know there is a judgment.”
