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 Έως πότε θέλεις λαλεί ταύτα; και οι λόγοι του στόματός σου θέλουσιν είσθαι ως άνεμος σφοδρός;
2 “How long will you speak these things? Shall the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?
3 Μήπως ο Θεός ανατρέπει την κρίσιν; ή ο Παντοδύναμος ανατρέπει το δίκαιον;
3 Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?
4 Εάν οι υιοί σου ημάρτησαν εις αυτόν, παρέδωκεν αυτούς εις την χείρα της ανομίας αυτών.
4 If your children have sinned against him, he has delivered them into the hand of their disobedience.
5 Εάν συ ήθελες ζητήσει τον Θεόν πρωΐ, και ήθελες δεηθή του Παντοδυνάμου·
5 If you want to seek God diligently, make your supplication to the Almighty.
6 εάν ήσο καθαρός και ευθύς, βεβαίως τώρα ήθελεν εγερθή διά σε, και ήθελεν ευτυχεί η κατοικία της δικαιοσύνης σου.
6 If you were pure and upright, surely now he would awaken for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.
7 Και αν η αρχή σου ήτο μικρά, τα ύστερά σου όμως ήθελον μεγαλυνθή σφόδρα.
7 Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would greatly increase.
8 Επειδή ερώτησον, παρακαλώ, περί των προτέρων γενεών, και ερεύνησον ακριβώς περί των πατέρων αυτών·
8 “Please inquire of past generations. Find out about the learning of their fathers.
9 διότι ημείς είμεθα χθεσινοί, και δεν εξεύρομεν ουδέν, επειδή αι ημέραι ημών επί της γης είναι σκιά·
9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days on earth are a shadow.)
10 δεν θέλουσι σε διδάξει αυτοί, και σοι ειπεί και προφέρει λόγους εκ της καρδίας αυτών;
10 Shall they not teach you, tell you, and utter words out of their heart?
11 Θάλλει ο πάπυρος άνευ πηλού; αυξάνει ο σχοίνος άνευ ύδατος;
11 “Can the papyrus grow up without mire? Can the rushes grow without water?
12 Ενώ είναι έτι πράσινος και αθέριστος, ξηραίνεται προ παντός χόρτου.
12 While it is yet in its greenness, not cut down, it withers before any other reed.
13 Ούτως είναι αι οδοί πάντων των λησμονούντων τον Θεόν· και η ελπίς του υποκριτού θέλει χαθή·
13 So are the paths of all who forget God. The hope of the godless man will perish,
14 η ελπίς αυτού θέλει κοπή, και το θάρρος αυτού θέλει είσθαι ιστός αράχνης.
14 whose confidence will break apart, whose trust is a spider’s web.
15 Θέλει επιστηριχθή επί την οικίαν αυτού, πλην αυτή δεν θέλει σταθή· θέλει κρατήσει αυτήν, πλην δεν θέλει ανορθωθή.
15 He will lean on his house, but it will not stand. He will cling to it, but it will not endure.
16 Είναι χλωρός έμπροσθεν του ηλίου, και ο κλάδος αυτού απλόνεται εις τον κήπον αυτού.
16 He is green before the sun. His shoots go out along his garden.
17 Αι ρίζαι αυτού περιπλέκονται εις τον σωρόν των λίθων, και εκλέγει τον πετρώδη τόπον.
17 His roots are wrapped around the rock pile. He sees the place of stones.
18 Εάν εξαλειφθή από του τόπου αυτού, τότε θέλει αρνηθή αυτόν, λέγων, Δεν σε είδον.
18 If he is destroyed from his place, then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have not seen you.’
19 Ιδού, αύτη είναι η χαρά της οδού αυτού, και εκ του χώματος άλλοι θέλουσι αναβλαστήσει.
19 Behold, this is the joy of his way. Out of the earth, others will spring.
20 Ιδού, ο Θεός δεν θέλει απορρίψει τον άμεμπτον, ουδέ θέλει πιάσει την χείρα των κακοποιών·
20 “Behold, God will not cast away a blameless man, neither will he uphold the evildoers.
21 εωσού γεμίση το στόμα σου από γέλωτος, και τα χείλη σου αλαλαγμού.
21 He will still fill your mouth with laughter, your lips with shouting.
22 Οι μισούντές σε θέλουσιν ενδυθή αισχύνην· και η κατοικία των ασεβών δεν θέλει υπάρχει.
22 Those who hate you will be clothed with shame. The tent of the wicked will be no more.”
