Job 28
Douay-Rheims and Septuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587), verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Septuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587) | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Silver hath beginnings of its veins, and gold hath a place wherein it is melted. | Ἐστι γὰρ ἀργυρίῳ τόπος ὅθεν γίνεται, τόπος δὲ χρυσίου ὅθεν διηθεῖται. |
| 2 | Iron is taken out of the earth, and stone melted with heat is turned into brass. | Σίδηρος μὲν γὰρ ἐκ γῆς γίνεται, χαλκὸς δὲ ἶσα λίθῳ λατομεῖται. |
| 3 | He hath set a time for darkness, and the end of all things he considereth, the stone also that is in the dark and the shadow of death. | Τάξιν ἔθετο σκότει, καὶ πᾶν πέρας αὐτὸς ἐξακριβάζεται, λίθος σκοτία, καὶ σκιὰ θανάτου. |
| 4 | The flood divideth from the people that are on their journey, those whom the food of the needy man hath forgotten, and who cannot be come at. | Διακοπὴ χειμάῤῥου ἀπὸ κονίας, οἱ δὲ ἐπιλανθανόμενοι ὁδὸν δικαίαν ἠσθένησαν, ἐκ βροτῶν ἐσαλεύθησαν. |
| 5 | The land, out of which bread grew in its place, hath been overturned with fire. | Γῆ, ἐξ αὐτῆς ἐξελεύσεται ἄρτος, ὑποκάτω αὐτῆς ἐστράφη ὡσεὶ πῦρ. |
| 6 | The stones of it are the place of sapphires, and the clods of it are gold. | Τόπος σαπφείρου οἱ λίθοι αὐτῆς, καὶ χῶμα χρυσίον αὐτῷ. |
| 7 | The bird hath not known the path, neither hath the eye of the vulture beheld it. | Τρίβος, οὐκ ἔγνω αὐτὴν πετεινὸν, καὶ οὐ παρέβλεψεν αὐτὴν ὀφθαλμὸς γυπός· |
| 8 | The children of the merchants have not trodden it, neither hath the lioness passed by it. | Καὶ οὐκ ἐπάτησαν αὐτὸν υἱοὶ ἀλαζόνων, οὐ παρῆλθεν ἐπʼ αὐτῆς λέων. |
| 9 | He hath stretched forth his hand to the flint, he hath overturned mountains from the roots. | Ἐν ἀκροτόμῳ ἐξέτεινε χεῖρα αὐτοῦ, κατέστρεψε δὲ ἐκ ῥιζῶν ὄρη. |
| 10 | In the rocks he hath cut out rivers, and his eye hath seen every precious thing. | Δίνας δὲ ποταμῶν διέῤῥηξε, πᾶν δὲ ἔντιμον εἴδέ μου ὁ ὀφθαλμός. |
| 11 | The depths also of rivers he hath searched, and hidden things he hath brought forth to light. | Βάθη δὲ ποταμῶν ἀνεκάλυψεν, ἔδειξε δὲ αὐτοῦ δύναμιν εἰς φῶς. |
| 12 | But where is wisdom to be found, and where is the place of understanding? | Ἡ δὲ σοφία πόθεν εὑρέθη; ποῖος δὲ τόπος ἐστὶ τῆς ἐπιστήμης; |
| 13 | Man knoweth not the price thereof, neither is it found in the land of them that live in delights. | Οὐκ οἶδε βροτὸς ὁδὸν αὐτῆς, οὐδὲ μὴν εὑρέθη ἐν ἀνθρώποις. |
| 14 | The depth saith: It is not in me: and the sea saith: It is not with me. | Ἄβυσσος εἶπεν, οὐκ ἔνεστιν ἐν ἐμοί· καὶ ἡ θάλασσα εἶπεν, οὐκ ἔνεστι μετʼ ἐμοῦ. |
| 15 | The finest gold shall not purchase it, neither shall silver be weighed in exchange for it. | Οὐ δώσει συνκλεισμὸν ἀντʼ αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐ σταθήσεται ἀργύριον ἀντάλλαγμα αὐτῆς. |
| 16 | It shall not be compared with the dyed colours of India, or with the most precious stone sardonyx, or the sapphire. | Καὶ οὐ συνβασταχθήσεται χρυσίῳ Σωφεὶρ, ἐν ὄνυχι τιμίῳ καὶ σαπφείρῳ. |
| 17 | Gold or crystal cannot equal it, neither shall any vessels of gold be changed for it. | Οὐκ ἰσωθήσεται αὐτῇ χρυσίον καὶ ὕαλος, καὶ τὸ ἄλλαγμα αὐτῆς σκεύη χρυσᾶ. |
| 18 | High and eminent things shall not be mentioned in comparison of it: but wisdom is drawn out of secret places. | Μετέωρα καὶ γαβὶς οὐ μνησθήσεται, καὶ ἕλκυσον σοφίαν ὑπὲρ τὰ ἐσώτατα. |
| 19 | The topaz of Ethiopia shall not be equal to it, neither shall it be compared to the cleanest dyeing. | Οὐκ ἰσωθήσεται αὐτῇ τοπάζιον Αἰθιοπίας, χρυσίῳ καθαρῷ οὐ συμβασταχθήσεται. |
| 20 | Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding? | Ἡ δὲ σοφία πόθεν εὑρέθη; ποῖος δὲ τόπος ἐστὶ τῆς συνέσεως; |
| 21 | It is hid from the eyes of all living. and the fowls of the air know it not. | Λέληθε πάντα ἄνθρωπον, καὶ ἀπὸ πετεινῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐκρύβη. |
| 22 | Destruction and death have said: With our ears we have heard the fame thereof. | Ἡ ἀπώλεια καὶ ὁ θάνατος εἶπαν, ἀκηκόαμεν δὲ αὐτῆς τὸ κλέος. |
| 23 | God understandeth the way of it, and he knoweth the place thereof. | Ὁ Θεὸς εὖ συνέστησεν αὐτῆς τὴν ὁδὸν, αὐτὸς δὲ οἶδε τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς. |
| 24 | For he beholdeth the ends of the world: and looketh on all things that are under heaven. | Αὐτὸς γὰρ τὴν ὑπʼ οὐρανὸν πᾶσαν ἐφορᾷ· εἰδὼς τὰ ἐν τῇ γῇ, πάντα |
| 25 | Who made a weight for the winds and weighed the waters by measure. | ἃ ἐποίησεν, ἀνέμων σταθμὸν, ὕδατος μέτρα ὅτε ἐποίησεν· |
| 26 | When he gave a law for the rain, and a way for the sounding storms. | οὕτως ἰδὼν ἠρίθμησε, καὶ ὁδὸν ἐν τινάγματι φωνάς. |
| 27 | Then he saw it, and declared, and prepared, and searched it. | Τότε εἶδεν αὐτὴν, καὶ ἐξηγήσατο αὐτὴν, ἑτοιμάσας ἐξιχνίασεν. |
| 28 | And he said to man: Behold the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom: and to depart from evil, is understanding. | Εἶπε δὲ ἀνθρώπῳ, Ἰδοὺ ἡ θεοσέβειά ἐστι σοφία, τὸ δὲ ἀπέχεσθαι ἀπὸ κακῶν ἐστὶν ἐπιστήμη. |
