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 Γνωρίζεις τον καιρόν του τοκετού των αγρίων αιγών του βράχου; δύνασαι να σημειώσης πότε γεννώσιν αι έλαφοι;
1 “Do you know the time when the mountain goats give birth? Do you watch when the doe bears fawns?
2 Δύνασαι να αριθμήσης τους μήνας τους οποίους πληρούσιν; ή γνωρίζεις τον καιρόν του τοκετού αυτών;
2 Can you count the months that they fulfill? Or do you know the time when they give birth?
3 Αυταί συγκάμπτονται, γεννώσι τα παιδία αυτών, ελευθερόνονται από των ωδίνων αυτών.
3 They bow themselves. They bear their young. They end their labor pains.
4 Τα τέκνα αυτών ενδυναμούνται, αυξάνουσιν εν τη πεδιάδι· εξέρχονται και δεν επιστρέφουσι πλέον εις αυτάς.
4 Their young ones become strong. They grow up in the open field. They go out, and don’t return again.
5 Τις εξαπέστειλεν ελεύθερον τον άγριον όνον; ή τις έλυσε τους δεσμούς αυτού;
5 “Who has set the wild donkey free? Or who has loosened the bonds of the swift donkey,
6 του οποίου οικίαν έκαμον την έρημον, και την αλμυρίδα κατοικίαν αυτού.
6 whose home I have made the wilderness, and the salt land his dwelling place?
7 Καταγελά του θορύβου της πόλεως· δεν ακούει την κραυγήν του εργοδιώκτου.
7 He scorns the tumult of the city, neither does he hear the shouting of the driver.
8 Κατασκοπεύει τα όρη διά βοσκήν αυτού, και υπάγει ζητών κατόπιν παντός είδους χλόης.
8 The range of the mountains is his pasture. He searches after every green thing.
9 Θέλει ευχαριστηθή ο μονόκερως να σε δουλεύη, ή θέλει διανυκτερεύσει εν τη φάτνη σου;
9 “Will the wild ox be content to serve you? Or will he stay by your feeding trough?
10 Δύνασαι να δέσης τον μονόκερων με τον δεσμόν αυτού προς αροτρίασιν; ή θέλει ομαλίζει τας πεδιάδας οπίσω σου;
10 Can you hold the wild ox in the furrow with his harness? Or will he till the valleys after you?
11 Θέλεις βάλει το θάρρος σου εις αυτόν, διότι η δύναμις αυτού είναι μεγάλη; ή θέλεις αφήσει την εργασίαν σου επ' αυτόν;
11 Will you trust him, because his strength is great? Or will you leave to him your labor?
12 Θέλεις εμπιστευθή εις αυτόν να σοι φέρη τον σπόρον σου και να συνάξη αυτόν εν τω αλωνίω σου;
12 Will you confide in him, that he will bring home your seed, and gather the grain of your threshing floor?
13 Έδωκας συ τας ώραίας πτέρυγας εις τους ταώνας; ή πτέρυγας και πτερά εις την στρουθοκάμηλον;
13 “The wings of the ostrich wave proudly, but are they the feathers and plumage of love?
14 ήτις αφίνει τα ωά αυτής εις την γην και θάλπει αυτά επί του χώματος,
14 For she leaves her eggs on the earth, warms them in the dust,
15 και λησμονεί ότι ο πους ενδέχεται να συντρίψη αυτά, ή το θηρίον του αγρού να καταπατήση αυτά·
15 and forgets that the foot may crush them, or that the wild animal may trample them.
16 σκληρύνεται κατά των τέκνων αυτής, ως να μη ήσαν αυτής· ματαίως εκοπίασε, μη φοβουμένη·
16 She deals harshly with her young ones, as if they were not hers. Though her labor is in vain, she is without fear,
17 διότι ο Θεός εστέρησεν αυτήν από σοφίας και δεν εμοίρασεν εις αυτήν σύνεσιν·
17 because God has deprived her of wisdom, neither has he imparted to her understanding.
18 οσάκις σηκόνεται όρθιος, καταγελά του ίππου και του αναβάτου αυτού.
18 When she lifts up herself on high, she scorns the horse and his rider.
19 Συ έδωκας δύναμιν εις τον ίππον; περιενέδυσας τον τράχηλον αυτού με βροντήν;
19 “Have you given the horse might? Have you clothed his neck with a quivering mane?
20 συ κάμνεις αυτόν να πηδά ως ακρίς; το γαυρίαμα των μυκτήρων αυτού είναι τρομερόν·
20 Have you made him to leap as a locust? The glory of his snorting is awesome.
21 ανασκάπτει εν τη κοιλάδι και αγάλλεται εις την δύναμιν αυτού· εξέρχεται εις απάντησιν των όπλων·
21 He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength. He goes out to meet the armed men.
22 καταγελά του φόβου και δεν τρομάζει· ουδέ στρέφει από προσώπου ρομφαίας·
22 He mocks at fear, and is not dismayed, neither does he turn back from the sword.
23 η φαρέτρα κροταλίζει κατ' αυτού, η εξαστράπτουσα λόγχη και το δόρυ.
23 The quiver rattles against him, the flashing spear and the javelin.
24 Καταπίνει την γην εν αγριότητι και μανία· και δεν πιστεύει ότι ηχεί σάλπιγξ·
24 He eats up the ground with fierceness and rage, neither does he stand still at the sound of the trumpet.
25 άμα δε τη φωνή της σάλπιγγος, λέγει, Α, α και μακρόθεν οσφραίνεται την μάχην, την κραυγήν των στρατηγών και τον αλαλαγμόν.
25 As often as the trumpet sounds he snorts, ‘Aha!’ He smells the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
26 Διά της σοφίας σου πετά ο ιέραξ και απλόνει τας πτέρυγας αυτού προς νότον;
26 “Is it by your wisdom that the hawk soars, and stretches her wings toward the south?
27 Εις την προσταγήν σου ανυψούται ο αετός και κάμνει την φωλεάν αυτού εν τοις υψηλοίς;
27 Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up, and makes his nest on high?
28 Κατοικεί επί βράχου και διατρίβει, επί αποτόμου βράχου και επί αβάτων τόπων·
28 On the cliff he dwells and makes his home, on the point of the cliff and the stronghold.
29 εκείθεν αναζητεί τροφήν· οι οφθαλμοί αυτού σκοπεύουσι μακρόθεν·
29 From there he spies out the prey. His eyes see it afar off.
30 και οι νεοσσοί αυτού αίμα πίνουσι· και όπου πτώματα, εκεί και αυτός.
30 His young ones also suck up blood. Where the slain are, there he is.”
