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 εξηκολούθησεν ο Ιώβ την παραβολήν αυτού και είπε·
1 Job again took up his parable, and said,
2 Ζη ο Θεός, ο αποβαλών την κρίσιν μου, και ο Παντοδύναμος, ο πικράνας την ψυχήν μου,
2 “As God lives, who has taken away my right, the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter
3 ότι πάντα τον χρόνον ενόσω η πνοή μου είναι εν εμοί και το πνεύμα του Θεού εις τους μυκτήράς μου,
3 (for the length of my life is still in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);
4 τα χείλη μου δεν θέλουσι λαλήσει αδικίαν και η γλώσσα μου δεν θέλει μελετήσει δόλον.
4 surely my lips will not speak unrighteousness, neither will my tongue utter deceit.
5 Μη γένοιτο εις εμέ να σας δικαιώσω· έως να εκπνεύσω, δεν θέλω απομακρύνει την ακεραιότητά μου απ' εμού.
5 Far be it from me that I should justify you. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
6 Θέλω κρατεί την δικαιοσύνην μου και δεν θέλω αφήσει αυτήν· η καρδία μου δεν θέλει με ελέγξει ενόσω ζω.
6 I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go. My heart will not reproach me so long as I live.
7 Ο εχθρός μου να ήναι ως ο ασεβής και ο ανιστάμενος κατ' εμού ως ο παράνομος.
7 “Let my enemy be as the wicked. Let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.
8 Διότι τις η ελπίς του υποκριτού, αν και επλεονέκτησεν, όταν ο Θεός αποσπά την ψυχήν αυτού;
8 For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
9 Άραγε θέλει ακούσει ο Θεός την κραυγήν αυτού, όταν επέλθη επ' αυτόν συμφορά;
9 Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?
10 Θέλει ευφραίνεσθαι εις τον Παντοδύναμον; θέλει επικαλείσθαι τον Θεόν εν παντί καιρώ;
10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call on God at all times?
11 θέλω σας διδάξει τι είναι εν τη χειρί του Θεού· ό,τι είναι παρά τω Παντοδυνάμω, δεν θέλω κρύψει αυτό.
11 I will teach you about the hand of God. I will not conceal that which is with the Almighty.
12 Ιδού, σεις πάντες είδετε· διά τι λοιπόν είσθε όλως τόσον μάταιοι;
12 Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves; why then have you become altogether vain?
13 Τούτο είναι παρά Θεού η μερίς του ασεβούς ανθρώπου, και η κληρονομία των δυναστών, την οποίαν θέλουσι λάβει παρά του Παντοδυνάμου.
13 “This is the portion of a wicked man with God, the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.
14 Εάν οι υιοί αυτού πολλαπλασιασθώσιν, είναι διά την ρομφαίαν· και οι έκγονοι αυτού δεν θέλουσι χορτασθή άρτον.
14 If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword. His offspring will not be satisfied with bread.
15 Οι εναπολειφθέντες αυτού θέλουσι ταφή εν θανάτω· και αι χήραι αυτού δεν θέλουσι κλαύσει.
15 Those who remain of him will be buried in death. His widows will make no lamentation.
16 Και αν επισωρεύση αργύριον ως το χώμα και ετοιμάση ιμάτια ως τον πηλόν·
16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;
17 δύναται μεν να ετοιμάση, πλην ο δίκαιος θέλει ενδυθή αυτά· και ο αθώος θέλει διαμοιρασθή το αργύριον.
17 he may prepare it, but the just will put it on, and the innocent will divide the silver.
18 Οικοδομεί τον οίκον αυτού ως το σαράκιον, και ως καλύβην, την οποίαν κάμνει ο αγροφύλαξ.
18 He builds his house as the moth, as a booth which the watchman makes.
19 Πλαγιάζει πλούσιος, πλην δεν θέλει συναχθή· ανοίγει τους οφθαλμούς αυτού και δεν υπάρχει.
19 He lies down rich, but he will not do so again. He opens his eyes, and he is not.
20 Τρόμοι συλλαμβάνουσιν αυτόν ως ύδατα, ανεμοστρόβιλος αρπάζει αυτόν την νύκτα.
20 Terrors overtake him like waters. A storm steals him away in the night.
21 Σηκόνει αυτόν ανατολικός άνεμος, και υπάγει· και αποσπά αυτόν από του τόπου αυτού.
21 The east wind carries him away, and he departs. It sweeps him out of his place.
22 Διότι ο Θεός θέλει ρίψει κατ' αυτού συμφοράς και δεν θέλει φεισθή· από της χειρός αυτού σπεύδει να φύγη.
22 For it hurls at him, and does not spare, as he flees away from his hand.
23 Θέλουσι κροτήσει τας χείρας αυτών επ' αυτόν, και θέλουσι συρίξει αυτόν από του τόπου αυτών.
23 Men will clap their hands at him, and will hiss him out of his place.
