| 1 | And Eliphaz the Themanite, answered, and said: | Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἐλιφὰζ ὁ Θαιμανίτης, λέγει, |
| 2 | Will a wise man answer as if he were speaking in the wind, and fill his stomach with burning heat? | Πότερον σοφὸς ἀπόκρισιν δώσει συνέσεως πνεῦμα, καὶ ἐνέπλησε πόνον γαστρὸς, |
| 3 | Thou reprovest him by words, who is not equal to thee, and thou speakest that which is not good for thee. | ἐλέγχων ἐν ῥήμασιν οἷς οὐ δεῖ, καὶ ἐν λόγοις οἷς οὐδὲν ὄφελος; |
| 4 | As much as is in thee, thou hast made void fear, and hast taken away prayers from before God. | Οὐ καὶ σὺ ἀπεποιήσω φόβον, συνετελέσω δὲ ῥήματα τοιαῦτα ἔναντι τοῦ Κυρίου; |
| 5 | For thy iniquity hath taught thy mouth, and thou imitatest the tongue of blasphemers. | Ἔνοχος εἶ ῥήμασι στόματός σου, οὐδὲ διέκρινας ῥήματα δυναστῶν. |
| 6 | Thy own mouth shall condemn thee, and not I: and thy own lips shall answer thee. | Ἐλέγξαι σε τὸ σὸν στόμα καὶ μὴ ἐγὼ, τὰ δὲ χείλη σου καταμαρτυρήσουσι σου. |
| 7 | Art thou the first man that was born, or wast thou made before the hills? | Τί γάρ; μὴ πρῶτος ἀνθρώπων ἐγεννήθης; ἢ πρὸ θινῶν ἐπάγης; |
| 8 | Hast thou heard God’s counsel, and shall his wisdom be inferior to thee? | Ἢ σύνταγμα Κυρίου ἀκήκοας; ἢ συμβούλῳ σοι ἐχρήσατο ὁ Θεός; εἰς δέ σε ἀφίκετο σοφία; |
| 9 | What knowest thou that we are ignorant of? what dost thou understand that we know not? | Τί γὰρ οἶδας, ὃ οὐκ οἴδαμεν; ἢ τί συνίεις σὺ, ὃ οὐ καὶ ἡμεῖς; |
| 10 | There are with us also aged and ancient men, much elder than thy fathers. | Καί γε πρεσβύτης καί γε παλαιὸς ἐν ἡμῖν, βαρύτερος τοῦ πατρός σου ἡμέραις. |
| 11 | Is it a great matter that God should comfort thee? but thy wicked words hinder this. | Ὀλίγα ὧν ἡμάρτηκας μεμαστίγωσαι, μεγάλως ὑπερβαλλόντως λελάληκας. |
| 12 | Why doth thy heart elevate thee, and why dost thou stare with thy eyes, as if they were thinking great things? | Τί ἐτόλμησεν ἡ καρδία σου; ἢ τί ἐπήνεγκαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου, |
| 13 | Why doth thy spirit swell against God, to utter such words out of thy mouth? | ὅτι θυμὸν ἔῤῥηξας ἔναντι Κυρίου, ἐξήγαγες δὲ ἐκ στόματος ῥήματα τοιαῦτα; |
| 14 | What is man that he should be without spot, and he that is born of a woman that he should appear just? | Τίς γὰρ ὢν βροτὸς, ὅτι ἔσται ἅμεμπτος; ἢ ὡς ἐσόμενος δίκαιος γεννητὸς γυναικός; |
| 15 | Behold among his saints none is unchangeable, and the heavens are not pure in his sight. | Εἰ κατὰ ἁγίων οὐ πιστεύει, οὐρανὸς δὲ οὐ καθαρὸς ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ. |
| 16 | How much more is man abominable, and unprofitable, who drinketh iniquity like water? | Ἔα δὲ ἐβδελυγμένος καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἀνὴρ, πίνων ἀδικίας ἶσα ποτῷ. |
| 17 | I will shew thee, hear me: and I will tell thee what I have seen. | Ἀναγγελῶ δέ σοι, ἄκουέ μου, ἃ δὴ ἑώρακα, ἀναγγελῶ σοι, |
| 18 | Wise men confess and hide not their fathers. | ἃ σοφοὶ ἐροῦσι, καὶ οὐκ ἔκρυψαν πατέρες αὐτῶν. |
| 19 | To whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger hath passed among them. | Αὐτοῖς μόνοις ἐδόθη ἡ γῆ, καὶ οὐκ ἐπῆλθεν ἀλλογενὴς ἐπʼ αὐτούς. |
| 20 | The wicked man is proud all his days, and the number of the years of his tyranny is uncertain. | Πᾶς ὁ βίος ἀσεβοῦς ἐν φροντίδι, ἔτη δὲ ἀριθμητὰ δεδομένα δυνάστῃ. |
| 21 | The sound of dread is always in his ears: and when there is peace, he always suspecteth treason. | Ὁ δὲ φόβος αὐτοῦ ἐν ὠσὶν αὐτοῦ· ὅταν δοκῇ ἤδη εἰρηνεύειν, ἥξει αὐτοῦ ἡ καταστροφή. |
| 22 | He believeth not that he may return from darkness to light, looking round about for the sword on every side. | Μὴ πιστευέτω ἀποστραφῆναι ἀπὸ σκότους, ἐντέταλται γὰρ ἤδη εἰς χεῖρας σιδήρου, |
| 23 | When he moveth himself to seek bread, he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand. | κατατέτακται δὲ εἰς σῖτα γυψίν· οἶδε δὲ ἐν ἑαυτῷ ὅτι μένει εἰς πτῶμα· ἡμέρα δὲ σκοτεινὴ αὐτὸν στροβήσει, |
| 24 | Tribulation shall terrify him, and distress shall surround him, as a king that is prepared for the battle. | ἀνάγκη δὲ καὶ θλίψις αὐτὸν καθέξει, ὥσπερ στρατηγὸς πρωτοστάτης πίπτων· |
| 25 | For he hath stretched out his hand against God, and hath strengthened himself against the Almighty. | Ὅτι ᾖρκε χεῖρας ἐναντίον τοῦ Κυρίου, ἔναντι δὲ Κυρίου παντοκράτορος ἐτραχηλίασεν. |
| 26 | He hath run against him with his neck raised up, and is armed with a fat neck. | Ἔδραμε δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ὕβρει, ἐν πάχει νώτου ἀσπίδος αὐτοῦ. |
| 27 | Fatness hath covered his face, and the fat hangeth down on his sides. | Ὅτι ἐκάλυψε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐν στέατι αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐποίησε περιστόμιον ἐπὶ τῶν μηρίων. |
| 28 | He hath dwelt in desolate cities, and in desert houses that are reduced into heaps. | Αὐλισθείη δὲ πόλεις ἐρήμους, εἰσέλθοι δὲ εἰς οἴκους ἀοικήτους· ἃ δὲ ἐκεῖνοι ἡτοίμασαν, ἄλλοι ἀποίσονται. |
| 29 | He shall not be enriched, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he push his root in the earth. | Οὔτε μὴ πλουτισθῇ, οὔτε μὴ μείνῃ αὐτοῦ τὰ ὑπάρχοντα· οὐ μὴ βάλῃ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν σκιὰν, |
| 30 | He shall not depart out of darkness: the flame shall dry up his branches, and he shall be taken away by the breath of his own month. | οὐδὲ μὴ ἐκφύγῃ τὸ σκότος· τὸν βλαστὸν αὐτοῦ μαράναι ἄνεμος, ἐκπέσοι δὲ αὐτοῦ τὸ ἄνθος. |
| 31 | He shall not believe, being vainly deceived by error, that he may be redeemed with any price. | Μὴ πιστευέτω ὅτι ὑπομενεῖ, κενὰ γὰρ ἀποβήσεται αὐτῷ. |
| 32 | Before his days be full he shall perish: and his hands shall wither away. | Ἡ τομὴ αὐτοῦ πρὸ ὥρας φθαρήσεται, καὶ ὁ ῥάδαμνος αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ πυκάσῃ. |
| 33 | He shall be blasted as a vine when its grapes are in the first flower, and as an olive tree that casteth its flower. | Τρυγηθείη δὲ ὡς ὄμφαξ πρὸ ὥρας, ἐκπέσοι δὲ ὡς ἄνθος ἐλαίας. |
| 34 | For the congregation of the hypocrite is barren, and fire shall devour their tabernacles, who love to take bribes. | Μαρτύριον γὰρ ἀσεβοῦς θάνατος· πῦρ δὲ καύσει οἴκους δωροδεκτῶν· |
| 35 | He hath conceived sorrow, and hath brought forth iniquity, and his womb prepareth deceits. | Ἐν γαστρὶ δὲ λήψεται ὀδύνας, ἀποβήσεται δὲ αὐτῷ κενὰ, ἡ δὲ κοιλία αὐτοῦ ὑποίσει δόλον. |
