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 Ελιφάς ο Θαιμανίτης και είπε·
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
2 Δύναται άνθρωπος να ωφελήση τον Θεόν, διότι φρόνιμος ων δύναται να ωφελή εαυτόν;
2 “Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.
3 Είναι ευχαρίστησις εις τον Παντοδύναμον, εάν ήσαι δίκαιος; ή κέρδος, εάν καθιστάς αμέμπτους τας οδούς σου;
3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous? Or does it benefit him that you make your ways perfect?
4 Μήπως φοβούμενός σε θέλει σε ελέγξει και θέλει ελθεί εις κρίσιν μετά σου;
4 Is it for your piety that he reproves you, that he enters with you into judgment?
5 Η κακία σου δεν είναι μεγάλη; και αι ανομίαι σου άπειροι;
5 Isn’t your wickedness great? Neither is there any end to your iniquities.
6 Διότι έλαβες ενέχυρον παρά του αδελφού σου αναιτίως και εστέρησας τους γυμνούς από του ενδύματος αυτών.
6 For you have taken pledges from your brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
7 Δεν επότισας ύδωρ τον διψώντα, και ηρνήθης άρτον εις τον πεινώντα.
7 You haven’t given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.
8 Ο δε ισχυρός άνθρωπος απελάμβανε την γήν· και ο περίβλεπτος κατώκει εν αυτή.
8 But as for the mighty man, he had the earth. The honorable man, he lived in it.
9 Χήρας απέβαλες αβοηθήτους, και οι βραχίονες των ορφανών συνετρίβησαν υπό σου.
9 You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
10 Διά τούτο παγίδες σε περιεκύκλωσαν, και φόβος αιφνίδιος σε ταράττει·
10 Therefore snares are around you. Sudden fear troubles you,
11 και σκότος, ώστε δεν βλέπεις· και πλημμύρα υδάτων σε σκεπάζει.
11 or darkness, so that you can not see, and floods of waters cover you.
12 Δεν είναι ο Θεός εν τοις υψηλοίς του ουρανού; και θεώρησον το ύψος των άστρων, πόσον υψηλά είναι
12 “Isn’t God in the heights of heaven? See the height of the stars, how high they are!
13 Και συ λέγεις, Τι γνωρίζει ο Θεός; δύναται να κρίνη διά του γνόφου;
13 You say, ‘What does God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?
14 Νέφη αποκρύπτουσιν αυτόν, και δεν βλέπει, και τον γύρον του ουρανού διαπορεύεται.
14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he doesn’t see. He walks on the vault of the sky.’
15 Μήπως θέλεις φυλάξει την παντοτεινήν οδόν, την οποίαν επάτησαν οι άνομοι;
15 Will you keep the old way, which wicked men have trodden,
16 Οίτινες αφηρπάσθησαν αώρως, και το θεμέλιον αυτών κατεπόντισε χείμαρρος·
16 who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream,
17 οίτινες είπον προς τον Θεόν, απόστηθι αφ' ημών· και τι θέλει κάμει ο Παντοδύναμος εις αυτούς;
17 who said to God, ‘Depart from us!’ and, ‘What can the Almighty do for us?’
18 Αλλ' αυτός ενέπλησεν αγαθών τους οίκους αυτών· πλην μακράν απ' εμού η βουλή των ασεβών.
18 Yet he filled their houses with good things, but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19 Οι δίκαιοι βλέπουσι και αγάλλονται· και οι αθώοι μυκτηρίζουσιν αυτούς.
19 The righteous see it, and are glad. The innocent ridicule them,
20 Η μεν περιουσία ημών δεν ηφανίσθη, το υπόλοιπον όμως αυτών κατατρώγει πυρ.
20 saying, ‘Surely those who rose up against us are cut off. The fire has consumed their remnant.’
21 Οικειώθητι λοιπόν μετ' αυτού και έσο εν ειρήνη· ούτω θέλει ελθεί καλόν εις σε.
21 “Acquaint yourself with him now, and be at peace. By it, good will come to you.
22 Δέχθητι λοιπόν τον νόμον εκ του στόματος αυτού, και βάλε τους λόγους αυτού εν τη καρδία σου.
22 Please receive instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.
23 Εάν επιστρέψης προς τον Παντοδύναμου, θέλεις ανοικοδομηθή, εκδιώξας την ανομίαν μακράν από των σκηνών σου.
23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up, if you put away unrighteousness far from your tents.
24 Και θέλεις επισωρεύσει το χρυσίον ως χώμα και το χρυσίον του Οφείρ ως τας πέτρας των χειμάρρων.
24 Lay your treasure in the dust, the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.
25 Και ο Παντοδύναμος θέλει είσθαι ο υπερασπιστής σου, και θέλεις έχει πλήθος αργυρίου.
25 The Almighty will be your treasure, and precious silver to you.
26 Διότι τότε θέλεις ευφραίνεσθε εις τον Παντοδύναμον, και θέλεις υψώσει το πρόσωπόν σου προς τον Θεόν.
26 For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and will lift up your face to God.
27 Θέλεις δεηθή αυτού, και θέλει σου εισακούσει, και θέλεις αποδώσει τας ευχάς σου.
27 You will make your prayer to him, and he will hear you. You will pay your vows.
28 Και ό,τι αποφασίσης, θέλει κατορθούσθαι εις σέ· και το φως θέλει φέγγει επί τας οδούς σου.
28 You will also decree a thing, and it will be established to you. Light will shine on your ways.
29 Όταν ταπεινωθή τις, τότε θέλεις ειπεί, Είναι ύψωσις· διότι θέλει σώσει τον κεκυφότα τους οφθαλμούς.
29 When they cast down, you will say, ‘be lifted up.’ He will save the humble person.
30 Θέλει σώσει και τον μη αθώον· ναι, διά της καθαρότητος των χειρών σου θέλει σωθή.
30 He will even deliver him who is not innocent. Yes, he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”
