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 Επειδή οι καιροί δεν είναι κεκρυμμένοι από του Παντοδυνάμου, διά τι οι γνωρίζοντες αυτόν δεν βλέπουσι τας ημέρας αυτού;
1 “Why aren’t times laid up by the Almighty? Why don’t those who know him see his days?
2 Μετακινούσιν όρια· αρπάζουσι ποίμνια και ποιμαίνουσιν·
2 There are people who remove the landmarks. They violently take away flocks, and feed them.
3 αφαιρούσι την όνον των ορφανών· λαμβάνουσι τον βουν της χήρας εις ενέχυρον·
3 They drive away the donkey of the fatherless, and they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
4 εξωθούσι τους ενδεείς από της οδού· οι πτωχοί της γης ομού κρύπτονται.
4 They turn the needy out of the way. The poor of the earth all hide themselves.
5 Ιδού, ως άγριοι όνοι εν τη ερήμω, εξέρχονται εις τα έργα αυτών εγειρόμενοι πρωΐ διά αρπαγήν· η έρημος δίδει τροφήν δι' αυτούς και διά τα τέκνα αυτών.
5 Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert, they go out to their work, seeking diligently for food. The wilderness yields them bread for their children.
6 Θερίζουσιν αγρόν μη όντα εαυτών, και τρυγώσιν άμπελον αδικίας.
6 They cut their food in the field. They glean the vineyard of the wicked.
7 Κάμνουσι τους γυμνούς να νυκτερεύωσιν άνευ ιματίου, και δεν έχουσι σκέπασμα εις το ψύχος.
7 They lie all night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold.
8 Υγραίνονται εκ των βροχών των ορέων και εναγκαλίζονται τον βράχον, μη έχοντες καταφύγιον.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for lack of a shelter.
9 Εκείνοι αρπάζουσι τον ορφανόν από του μαστού, και λαμβάνουσιν ενέχυρον παρά του πτωχού·
9 There are those who pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor,
10 κάμνουσιν αυτόν να υπάγη γυμνός άνευ ιματίου, και οι βαστάζοντες τα χειρόβολα μένουσι πεινώντες.
10 so that they go around naked without clothing. Being hungry, they carry the sheaves.
11 Οι εκπιέζοντες το έλαιον εντός των τοίχων αυτών και πατούντες τους ληνούς αυτών, διψώσιν.
11 They make oil within the walls of these men. They tread wine presses, and suffer thirst.
12 Άνθρωποι στενάζουσιν εκ της πόλεως, και η ψυχή των πεπληγωμένων βοά· αλλ' ο Θεός δεν επιθέτει εις αυτούς αφροσύνην.
12 From out of the populous city, men groan. The soul of the wounded cries out, yet God doesn’t regard the folly.
13 Ούτοι είναι εκ των ανθισταμένων εις το φώς· δεν γνωρίζουσι τας οδούς αυτού, και δεν μένουσιν εν ταις τρίβοις αυτού.
13 “These are of those who rebel against the light. They don’t know its ways, nor stay in its paths.
14 Ο φονεύς εγειρόμενος την αυγήν φονεύει τον πτωχόν και τον ενδεή, την δε νύκτα γίνεται ως κλέπτης.
14 The murderer rises with the light. He kills the poor and needy. In the night he is like a thief.
15 Ο οφθαλμός ομοίως του μοιχού παραφυλάττει το νύκτωμα, λέγων, Οφθαλμός δεν θέλει με ιδεί· και καλύπτει το πρόσωπον αυτού.
15 The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, ‘No eye will see me.’ He disguises his face.
16 Εν τω σκότει διατρυπώσι τας οικίας, τας οποίας την ημέραν εσημείωσαν δι' εαυτούς. Δεν γνωρίζουσι φώς·
16 In the dark they dig through houses. They shut themselves up in the daytime. They don’t know the light.
17 διότι η αυγή είναι εις πάντας αυτούς σκιά θανάτου· εάν τις γνωρίση αυτούς, είναι τρόμοι σκιάς θανάτου.
17 For the morning is to all of them like thick darkness, for they know the terrors of the thick darkness.
18 Είναι ελαφροί επί το πρόσωπον των υδάτων· η μερίς αυτών είναι κατηραμένη επί της γής· δεν βλέπουσι την οδόν των αμπέλων.
18 “They are foam on the surface of the waters. Their portion is cursed on the earth. They don’t turn into the way of the vineyards.
19 Η ξηρασία και η θερμότης αρπάζουσι τα ύδατα της χιόνος, ο δε τάφος τους αμαρτωλούς.
19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters, so does Sheol those who have sinned.
20 Η μήτρα θέλει λησμονήσει αυτούς· ο σκώληξ θέλει βόσκεσθαι επ' αυτούς· δεν θέλουσιν ελθεί πλέον εις ενθύμησιν· και η αδικία θέλει συντριφθή ως ξύλον.
20 The womb will forget him. The worm will feed sweetly on him. He will be no more remembered. Unrighteousness will be broken as a tree.
21 Κακοποιούσι την στείραν την άτεκνον· και δεν αγαθοποιούσι την χήραν·
21 He devours the barren who don’t bear. He shows no kindness to the widow.
22 και κατακρατούσι τους δυνατούς διά της δυνάμεως αυτών· εγείρονται, και δεν είναι ουδείς ασφαλής εν τη ζωή αυτού.
22 Yet God preserves the mighty by his power. He rises up who has no assurance of life.
23 Έδωκε μεν ο Θεός εις αυτούς ασφάλειαν και αναπαύονται· όμως οι οφθαλμοί αυτού είναι επί τας οδούς αυτών.
23 God gives them security, and they rest in it. His eyes are on their ways.
24 Υψόνονται ολίγον καιρόν και δεν υπάρχουσι, και καταβάλλονται ως πάντες· σηκόνονται εκ του μέσου και αποκόπτονται ως η κεφαλή των ασταχύων·
24 They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone. Yes, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others, and are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.
25 και εάν τώρα δεν ήναι ούτω, τις θέλει με διαψεύσει και εξουθενίσει τους λόγους μου;
25 If it isn’t so now, who will prove me a liar, and make my speech worth nothing?”
