| 1 | Then Eliphaz the Themanite answered, and said: | Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἐλιφὰζ ὁ Θαιμανίτης, λέγει, |
| 2 | Can man be compared with God, even though he were of perfect knowledge? | Πότερον οὐχὶ ὁ Κύριός ἐστιν ὁ διδάσκων σύνεσιν καὶ ἐπιστήμην; |
| 3 | What doth it profit God if thou be just? or what dost thou give him if thy way be unspotted? | Τί γὰρ μέλει τῷ Κυρίῳ, ἐὰν σὺ ἦσθα τοῖς ἔργοις ἄμεμπτος; ἢ ὠφέλεια, ὅτι ἀπλώσῃς τὴν ὁδόν σου; |
| 4 | Shall he reprove thee for fear, and come with thee into judgment: | Ἢ λόγον σου ποιοῦμενος ἐλέγξεις, καὶ συνεισελεύσεταί σοι εἰς κρίσιν; |
| 5 | And not for thy manifold wickedness, and thy infinite iniquities? | Πότερον οὐχ ἡ κακία σου ἐστὶ πολλὴ, ἀναρίθμητοι δέ σου εἰσὶν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι; |
| 6 | For thou hast taken away the pledge of thy brethren without cause, and stripped the naked of their clothing. | Ἠνεχύραζες δὲ τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου διακενῆς, ἀμφίασιν δὲ γυμνῶν ἀφείλου. |
| 7 | Thou hast not given water to the weary, thou hast withdrawn bread from the hungry. | Οὐδὲ ὕδωρ διψῶντας ἐπότισας, ἀλλὰ πεινώντων ἐστέρησας ψωμόν· |
| 8 | In the strength of thy arm thou didst possess the land, and being the most mighty thou holdest it. | Ἐθαύμασας δέ τινων πρόσωπον, ᾤκισας δὲ τοὺς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. |
| 9 | Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless thou hast broken in pieces. | Χήρας δὲ ἐξαπέστειλας κενὰς, ὀρφανοὺς δὲ ἐκάκωσας. |
| 10 | Therefore art thou surrounded with snares, and sudden fear troubleth thee. | Τοιγαροῦν ἐκύκλωσάν σε παγίδες, καὶ ἐσπούδασέ σε πόλεμος ἐξαίσιος. |
| 11 | And didst thou think that thou shouldst not see darkness, and that thou shouldst not be covered with the violence of overflowing waters? | Τὸ φῶς σοι σκότος ἀπέβη, κοιμηθέντα δὲ ὕδωρ σε ἐκάλυψε. |
| 12 | Dost not thou think that God is higher than heaven, and is elevated above the height of the stars? | Μὴ οὐχὶ ὁ τὰ ὑψηλὰ ναίων ἐφορᾷ; τοὺς δὲ ὕβρει φερομένους ἐταπείνωσε; |
| 13 | And thou sayst: What doth God know? and he judgeth as it were through a mist. | Καὶ εἶπας, τί ἔγνω ὁ ἰσχυρός; ἢ κατὰ τοῦ γνόφου κρίνει; |
| 14 | The clouds are his covert, and he doth not consider our things, and he walketh about the poles of heaven. | Νεφέλη ἀποκρυφὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐχ ὁραθήσεται, καὶ γῦρον οὐρανοῦ διαπορεύεται. |
| 15 | Dost thou desire to keep the path of ages, which wicked men have trodden? | Μὴ τρίβον αἰώνιον φυλάξεις, ἣν ἐπάτησαν ἄνδρες δίκαιοι, |
| 16 | Who were taken away before their time, and a flood hath overthrown their foundation. | οἳ συνελήφθησαν ἄωροι; ποταμὸς ἐπιῤῥέων οἱ θεμέλιοι αὐτῶν, |
| 17 | Who said to God: Depart from us: and looked upon the Almighty as if he could do nothing: | οἱ λέγοντες, Κύριος τί ποιήσει ἡμῖν; ἢ τί ἐπάξεται ἡμῖν ὁ παντοκράτωρ; |
| 18 | Whereas he had filled their houses with good things: whose way of thinking be far from me. | Ὃς δὲ ἐνέπλησε τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν ἀγαθῶν, βουλὴ δὲ ἀσεβῶν πόῤῥω ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ. |
| 19 | The just shall see, and shall rejoice, and the innocent shall laugh them to scorn. | Ἰδόντες δίκαιοι ἐγέλασαν, ἄμεμπτος δὲ ἐμυκτήρισεν. |
| 20 | Is not their exaltation cut down, and hath not fire devoured the remnants of them? | Εἰ μὴ ἠφανίσθη ἡ ὑπόστασις αὐτῶν, καὶ τὸ κατάλειμμα αὐτῶν καταφάγεται πῦρ. |
| 21 | Submit thyself then to him, and be at peace: and thereby thou shalt have the best fruits. | Γενοῦ δὴ σκληρὸς, ἐὰν ὑπομείνῃς, εἶτα ὁ καρπός σου ἔσται ἐν ἀγαθοῖς. |
| 22 | Receive the law of his mouth, and lay up his words in thy heart. | Ἔκλαβε δὲ ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐξηγορίαν, καὶ ἀνάλαβε τὰ ῥήματα αὐτοῦ ἐν καρδίᾳ σου. |
| 23 | If thou wilt return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, and shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacle. | Ἐὰν δὲ ἐπιστραφῇς καὶ ταπεινώσῃς σεαυτὸν ἔναντι Κυρίου, πόῤῥω ἐποίησας ἀπὸ διαίτης σου ἄδικον. |
| 24 | He shall give for earth flint, and for flint torrents of gold. | Θήσῃ ἐπὶ χώματι ἐν πέτρᾳ, καὶ ὡς πέτρα χειμάῤῥου Σωφίρ. |
| 25 | And the Almighty shall be against thy enemies, and silver shall be heaped together for thee. | Ἔσται οὖν σου ὁ παντοκράτωρ βοηθὸς ἀπὸ ἐχθρῶν, καθαρὸν δὲ ἀποδώσει σε ὥσπερ ἀργύριον πεπυρωμένον. |
| 26 | Then shalt thou abound in delights in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face to God. | Εἶτα παῤῥησιασθήσῃ ἐναντίον Κυρίου ἀναβλέψας εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν ἱλαρῶς. |
| 27 | Thou shalt pray to him, and he will hear thee, and thou shalt pay vows. | Εὐξαμένου δέ σου πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰσακούσεταί σου· δώσει δέ σοι ἀποδοῦναι τὰς εὐχάς. |
| 28 | Thou shalt decree a thing, and it I shall come to thee, and light shall shine in thy ways. | Ἀποκαταστήσει δέ σοι δίαιταν δικαιοσύνης, ἐπὶ δὲ ὁδοῖς σου ἔσται φέγγος· |
| 29 | For he that hath been humbled, shall be in glory: and he that shall bow down his eyes, he shall be saved. | Ὅτι ἐταπείνωσας σεαυτὸν, καὶ ἐρεῖς, ὑπερηφανεύσατο, καὶ κύφοντα ὀφθαλμοῖς σώσει. |
| 30 | The innocent shall be saved, and he shall be saved by the cleanness of his hands. | Ῥύσεται ἀθῶον, καὶ διασώθητι ἐν καθαραῖς χερσί σου. |
