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 Διά τούτο, Ιώβ, άκουσον τώρα τας ομιλίας μου, και ακροάσθητι πάντας τους λόγους μου.
1 “However, Job, please hear my speech, and listen to all my words.
2 Ιδού, τώρα ήνοιξα το στόμα μου· η γλώσσα μου λαλεί εν τω στόματί μου.
2 See now, I have opened my mouth. My tongue has spoken in my mouth.
3 Οι λόγοι μου θέλουσιν είσθαι κατά την ευθύτητα της καρδίας μου· και τα χείλη μου θέλουσι προφέρει γνώσιν καθαράν.
3 My words will utter the uprightness of my heart. That which my lips know they will speak sincerely.
4 Το Πνεύμα του Θεού με έκαμε και η πνοή του Παντοδυνάμου με εζωοποίησεν.
4 The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
5 Εάν δύνασαι, αποκρίθητί μοι· παρατάχθητι έμπροσθέν μου· στήθι.
5 If you can, answer me. Set your words in order before me, and stand up.
6 Ιδού, εγώ είμαι κατά τον λόγόν σου από μέρους του Θεού· εκ πηλού είμαι και εγώ μεμορφωμένος.
6 Behold, I am toward God even as you are. I am also formed out of the clay.
7 Ιδού, ο τρόμος μου δεν θέλει σε ταράξει, ουδέ η χειρ μου θέλει είσθαι βαρεία επί σε.
7 Behold, my terror will not make you afraid, neither will my pressure be heavy on you.
8 Συ τωόντι είπας εις τα ώτα μου, και ήκουσα την φωνήν των λόγων σου,
8 “Surely you have spoken in my hearing, I have heard the voice of your words, saying,
9 Είμαι καθαρός χωρίς αμαρτίας· είμαι αθώος· και ανομία δεν υπάρχει εν εμοί·
9 ‘I am clean, without disobedience. I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me.
10 ιδού, ευρίσκει αφορμάς εναντίον μου· με νομίζει εχθρόν αυτού·
10 Behold, he finds occasions against me. He counts me for his enemy.
11 βάλλει τους πόδας μου εν τω ξύλω· παραφυλάττει πάσας τας οδούς μου.
11 He puts my feet in the stocks. He marks all my paths.’
12 Ιδού, κατά τούτο δεν είσαι δίκαιος· θέλω αποκριθή προς σε, διότι ο Θεός είναι μεγαλήτερος του ανθρώπου.
12 “Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just, for God is greater than man.
13 Διά τι αντιμάχεσαι προς αυτόν; διότι δεν δίδει λόγον περί ουδεμιάς των πράξεων αυτού.
13 Why do you strive against him, because he doesn’t give account of any of his matters?
14 Διότι ο Θεός λαλεί άπαξ και δις, αλλ' ο άνθρωπος δεν προσέχει.
14 For God speaks once, yes twice, though man pays no attention.
15 Εν ενυπνίω, εν οράσει νυκτερινή, ότε βαθύς ύπνος πίπτει επί τους ανθρώπους, ότε υπνώττουσιν επί της κλίνης·
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in slumbering on the bed,
16 τότε ανοίγει τα ώτα των ανθρώπων, και επισφραγίζει την προς αυτούς νουθεσίαν·
16 then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
17 διά να αποστρέψη τον άνθρωπον από των πράξεων αυτού και να εκβάλη την υπερηφανίαν εκ του ανθρώπου.
17 that he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 Προλαμβάνει την ψυχήν αυτού από του λάκκου και την ζωήν αυτού από του να διαπερασθή υπό ρομφαίας.
18 He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 Πάλιν, τιμωρείται με πόνους επί της κλίνης αυτού, και το πλήθος των οστέων αυτού με δυνατούς πόνους·
19 “He is chastened also with pain on his bed, with continual strife in his bones,
20 ώστε η ζωή αυτού αποστρέφεται τον άρτον και η ψυχή αυτού το επιθυμητόν φαγητόν·
20 so that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty food.
21 η σαρξ αυτού αναλίσκεται, ώστε δεν φαίνεται, και τα οστά αυτού τα αφανή εξέχουσιν·
21 His flesh is so consumed away that it can’t be seen. His bones that were not seen stick out.
22 η δε ψυχή αυτού πλησίαζει εις τον λάκκον και η ζωή αυτού εις τους φονευτάς.
22 Yes, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.
23 Εάν ήναι μηνυτής μετ' αυτού ή ερμηνευτής, εις μεταξύ χιλίων, διά να αναγγείλη προς τον άνθρωπον την ευθύτητα αυτού·
23 “If there is beside him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him,
24 τότε θέλει είσθαι ίλεως εις αυτόν και θέλει ειπεί, Λύτρωσον αυτόν από του να καταβή εις τον λάκκον· εγώ εύρηκα εξιλασμόν.
24 then God is gracious to him, and says, ‘Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.’
25 Η σαρξ αυτού θέλει είσθαι ανθηροτέρα νηπίου· θέλει επιστρέψει εις τας ημέρας της νεότητος αυτού·
25 His flesh will be fresher than a child’s. He returns to the days of his youth.
26 θέλει δεηθή του Θεού και θέλει ευνοήσει προς αυτόν· και θέλει βλέπει το πρόσωπον αυτού εν χαρά· και θέλει αποδώσει εις τον άνθρωπον την δικαιοσύνην αυτού.
26 He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy. He restores to man his righteousness.
27 Θέλει βλέπει προς τους ανθρώπους και θέλει λέγει, Ημάρτησα και διέστρεψα το ορθόν, και δεν με ωφέλησεν·
27 He sings before men, and says, ‘I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it didn’t profit me.
28 αλλ' αυτός ελύτρωσε την ψυχήν μου από του να υπάγη εις τον λάκκον· και η ζωή μου θέλει ιδεί το φως.
28 He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit. My life will see the light.’
29 Ιδού, πάντα ταύτα εργάζεται ο Θεός δις και τρίς μετά του ανθρώπου,
29 “Behold, God does all these things, twice, yes three times, with a man,
30 διά να αποστρέψη την ψυχήν αυτού από του λάκκου, ώστε να φωτισθή εν τω φωτί των ζώντων.
30 to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
31 Πρόσεχε, Ιώβ, άκουσόν μου· σιώπα, και εγώ θέλω λαλήσει.
31 Mark well, Job, and listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will speak.
32 Εάν έχης τι να είπης, αποκρίθητί μοι· λάλησον, διότι επιθυμώ να δικαιωθής.
32 If you have anything to say, answer me. Speak, for I desire to justify you.
33 Ει δε μη, συ άκουσόν μου· σιώπα και θέλω σε διδάξει σοφίαν.
33 If not, listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Job, too, says, The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
