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 Έπαυσαν δε και οι τρεις ούτοι άνθρωποι αποκρινόμενοι προς τον Ιώβ, διότι ήτο δίκαιος εις τους οφθαλμούς αυτού.
1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2 Τότε εξήφθη ο θυμός του Ελιού, υιού του Βαραχιήλ του Βουζίτου, εκ της συγγενείας του Αράμ· κατά του Ιώβ εξήφθη ο θυμός αυτού, διότι εδικαίονεν εαυτόν μάλλον παρά τον Θεόν.
2 Then the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was kindled against Job. His wrath was kindled because he justified himself rather than God.
3 Και κατά των τριών αυτού φίλων εξήφθη ο θυμός αυτού, διότι δεν εύρηκαν απόκρισιν και κατεδίκασαν τον Ιώβ.
3 Also his wrath was kindled against his three friends, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
4 Ο δε Ελιού περιέμενε να λαλήση προς τον Ιώβ, διότι εκείνοι ήσαν γεροντότεροι αυτού.
4 Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job, because they were older than he.
5 Ότε δε ο Ελιού είδεν, ότι δεν ήτο απόκρισις εν τω στόματι των τριών ανδρών, εξήφθη ο θυμός αυτού.
5 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
6 και απεκρίθη ο Ελιού ο υιός του Βαραχιήλ του Βουζίτου και είπεν· Εγώ είμαι νέος την ηλικίαν, και σεις γέροντες· διά τούτο εφοβήθην και συνεστάλην να σας φανερώσω την γνώμην μου.
6 Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered, “I am young, and you are very old. Therefore I held back, and didn’t dare show you my opinion.
7 Εγώ είπα, Αι ημέραι ας λαλήσωσι και το πλήθος των ετών ας διδάξη, σοφίαν.
7 I said, ‘Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.’
8 Βεβαίως είναι πνεύμα εν τω ανθρώπω η έμπνευσις όμως του Παντοδυνάμου συνετίζει αυτόν.
8 But there is a spirit in man, and the Spirit of the Almighty gives them understanding.
9 Οι μεγαλήτεροι δεν είναι πάντοτε σοφοί· ούτε οι γέροντες νοούσι κρίσιν.
9 It is not the great who are wise, nor the aged who understand justice.
10 Διά τούτο είπα, Ακούσατέ μου· θέλω φανερώσει και εγώ την γνώμην μου.
10 Therefore I said, ‘Listen to me; I also will show my opinion.’
11 Ιδού, επρόσμενα τους λόγους σας· ηκροάσθην τα επιχειρήματά σας, εωσού εξετάσητε τους λόγους.
11 “Behold, I waited for your words, and I listened for your reasoning, while you searched out what to say.
12 Και σας παρετήρουν, και ιδού, ουδείς εξ υμών ηδυνήθη να καταπείση τον Ιώβ, αποκρινόμενος εις τους λόγους αυτού·
12 Yes, I gave you my full attention, but there was no one who convinced Job, or who answered his words, among you.
13 διά να μη είπητε, Ημείς ευρήκαμεν σοφίαν. Ο Θεός θέλει καταβάλει αυτόν, ουχί άνθρωπος.
13 Beware lest you say, ‘We have found wisdom. God may refute him, not man;’
14 Εκείνος δε δεν διηύθυνε λόγους προς εμέ· και δεν θέλω αποκριθή προς αυτόν κατά τας ομιλίας σας.
14 for he has not directed his words against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches.
15 Εκείνοι ετρόμαξαν, δεν απεκρίθησαν πλέον· έχασαν τους λόγους αυτών.
15 “They are amazed. They answer no more. They don’t have a word to say.
16 Και περιέμενον, επειδή δεν ελάλουν· αλλ' ίσταντο· δεν απεκρίνοντο πλέον.
16 Shall I wait, because they don’t speak, because they stand still, and answer no more?
17 Ας αποκριθώ και εγώ το μέρος μου· ας φανερώσω και εγώ την γνώμην μου.
17 I also will answer my part, and I also will show my opinion.
18 Διότι είμαι πλήρης λόγων· το πνεύμα εντός μου με αναγκάζει.
18 For I am full of words. The spirit within me constrains me.
19 Ιδού, η κοιλία μου είναι ως οίνος όστις δεν ηνοίχθη· είναι ετοίμη να σπάση, ως ασκοί γλεύκους.
19 Behold, my breast is as wine which has no vent; like new wineskins it is ready to burst.
20 Θέλω λαλήσει διά να αναπνεύσω· θέλω ανοίξει τα χείλη μου και αποκριθή.
20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed. I will open my lips and answer.
21 Μη γένοιτο να γείνω προσωπολήπτης, μηδέ να κολακεύσω άνθρωπον.
21 Please don’t let me respect any man’s person, neither will I give flattering titles to any man.
22 Διότι δεν εξεύρω να κολακεύω· ο Ποιητής μου ήθελε με αναρπάσει ευθύς.
22 For I don’t know how to give flattering titles, or else my Maker would soon take me away.
