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 Βιλδάδ ο Σαυχίτης και είπεν·
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2 Εξουσία και φόβος είναι μετ' αυτού· εκτελεί ειρήνην εις τα ύψη αυτού.
2 “Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places.
3 Υπάρχει αριθμός των στρατευμάτων αυτού; και επί τίνα δεν ανατέλλει το φως αυτού;
3 Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?
4 Πως λοιπόν δύναται άνθρωπος να δικαιωθή ενώπιον του Θεού; ή πως δύναται να ήναι καθαρός ο γεγεννημένος εκ γυναικός;
4 How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?
5 Ιδού, και αυτή η σελήνη δεν είναι λαμπρά, και οι αστέρες δεν είναι καθαροί ενώπιον αυτού.
5 Behold, even the moon has no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight;
6 Πόσον ολιγώτερον ο άνθρωπος, σαπρία; και ο υιός του ανθρώπου, ο σκώληξ;
6 How much less man, who is a worm, and the son of man, who is a worm!”
