| 1 | At this my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place. | Super hoc expavit cor meum, et emotum est de loco suo. | Καὶ ἀπὸ ταύτης ἐταράχθη ἡ καρδία μου, καὶ ἀπεῤῥύη ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτῆς. |
| 2 | Hear ye attentively the terror of his voice, and the sound that cometh out of his mouth. | Audite auditionem in terrore vocis eius, et sonum de ore illius procedentem. | Ἄκουε ἀκοὴν ἐν ὀργῇ θυμοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ μελέτη ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐξελεύσεται. |
| 3 | He beholdeth under all the heavens, and his light is upon the ends of the earth. | Subter omnes caelos ipse considerat, et lumen illius super terminos terrae. | Ὑποκάτω παντὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἡ ἀρχὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ φῶς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πτερύγων τῆς γῆς. |
| 4 | After it a noise shall roar, he shall thunder with the voice of his majesty, and shall not be found out, when his voice shall be heard. | Post eum rugiet sonitus; tonabit voce magnitudinis suae: et non investigabitur, cum audita fuerit vox eius. | Ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ βοήσεται φωνῇ, βροντήσει ἐν φωνῇ ὕβρεως αὐτοὺ· καὶ οὐκ ἀνταλλάξει αὐτούς, ὅτι ἀκούσει φωνὴν αὐτοῦ. |
| 5 | God shall thunder wonderfully with his voice, he that doth great and unsearchable things. | Tonabit Deus in voce sua mirabiliter, qui facit magna et inscrutabilia; | Βροντήσει ὁ ἰσχυρὸς ἐν φωνῇ αὐτοῦ θαυμάσια· ἐποίησε γὰρ μεγάλα ἃ οὐκ ᾔδειμεν, |
| 6 | He commandeth the snow to go down upon the earth, and the winter rain, and the shower of his strength. | qui praecipit nivi ut descendat in terram, et hiemis pluviis, et imbri fortitudinis suae; | συντάσσων χιόνι, γίνου ἐπὶ τῆς, γῆς, καὶ χειμὼν ὑετὸς, καὶ χειμὼν ὑετῶν δυναστείας αὐτοῦ. |
| 7 | He sealeth up the hand of all men, that every one may know his works. | qui in manu omnium hominum signat, ut noverint singuli opera sua. | Ἐν χειρὶ παντὸς ἀνθρώπου κατασφραγίζει, ἵνα γνῷ πᾶς ἄνθρωπος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἀσθένειαν. |
| 8 | Then the beast shall go into his covert, and shall abide in his den. | Ingredietur bestia latibulum, et in antro suo morabitur. | Εἰσῆλθε δὲ θηρία ὑπὸ τὴν σκέπην, ἡσύχασαν δὲ ἐπὶ κοίτης. |
| 9 | Out of the inner parts shall a tempest come, and cold out of the north. | Ab interioribus egredietur tempestas, et ab Arcturo frigus. | Ἐκ ταμιείων ἐπέρχονται ὀδύναι, ἀπὸ δὲ ἀκρωτηρίων ψῦχος· |
| 10 | When God bloweth there cometh frost, and again the waters are poured out abundantly. | Flante Deo, concrescit gelu, et rursum latissimae funduntur aquae. | Καὶ ἀπὸ πνοῆς ἰσχυροῦ δώσει πάγος· οἰακίζει δὲ τὸ ὕδωρ ὡς ἐὰν βούληται, |
| 11 | Corn desireth clouds, and the clouds spread their light: | Frumentum desiderat nubes, et nubes spargunt lumen suum. | καὶ ἐκλεκτὸν καταπλάσσει νεφέλη· διασκορπιεῖ νέφος φῶς αὐτοῦ, |
| 12 | Which go round about, whithersoever the will of him that governeth them shall lead them, to whatsoever he shall command them upon the face of the whole earth: | Quae lustrant per circuitum, quocumque eas voluntas gubernantis duxerit, ad omne quod praeceperit illis super faciem orbis terrarum: | καὶ αὐτὸς κυκλώματα διαστρέψει, ἐν θεεβουλαθὼθ, εἰς ἔργα αὐτῶν· πάντα ὅσα ἂν ἐντείληται αὐτοῖς, ταῦτα συντέτακται παρʼ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, |
| 13 | Whether in one tribe, or in his own land, or in what place soever of his mercy he shall command them to be found. | sive in una tribu, sive in terra sua, sive in quocumque loco misericordiae suae eas iusserit inveniri. | ἐάν τε εἰς παιδείαν, ἐὰν εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ, ἐὰν εἰς ἔλεος εὑρήσει αὐτόν. |
| 14 | Hearken to these things, Job: Stand, and consider the wondrous works of God. | Ausculta haec, Iob: sta, et considera mirabilia Dei. | Ἐνωτίζου ταῦτα, Ἰώβ· στῆθι νουθετούμενος δύναμιν Κυρίου. |
| 15 | Dost thou know when God commanded the rains, to shew his light of his clouds? | Numquid scis quando praeceperit Deus pluviis, ut ostenderent lucem nubium eius? | Οἴδαμεν ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς ἔθετο ἔργα αὐτοῦ, φῶς ποιήσας ἐκ σκότους. |
| 16 | Knowest thou the great paths of the clouds, and the perfect knowledges? | Numquid nosti semitas nubium magnas, et perfectas scientias? | Ἐπίσταται δὲ διάκρισιν νεφῶν, ἐξαίσια δὲ πτώματα πονηρῶν. |
| 17 | Are not thy garments hot, when the south wind blows upon the earth? | Nonne vestimenta tua calida sunt, cum perflata fuerit terra austro? | Σοῦ δὲ ἡ στολὴ θερμὴ, ἡσυχάζεται δὲ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. |
| 18 | Thou perhaps hast made the heavens with him, which are most strong, as if they were of molten brass. | Tu forsitan cum eo fabricatus es caelos, qui solidissimi quasi aere fusi sunt. | Στερεώσεις μετʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς παλαιώματα, ἰσχυραὶ ὡς ὅρασις ἐπιχύσεως. |
| 19 | Shew us what we may say to him: for we are wrapped up in darkness. | Ostende nobis quid dicamus illi: nos quippe involvimur tenebris. | Διατὶ δίδαξόν με, τί ἐροῦμεν αὐτῷ; καὶ παυσώμεθα πολλὰ λέγοντες. |
| 20 | Who shall tell him the things I speak? even if a man shall speak, he shall be swallowed up. | Quis narrabit ei quae loquor? etiam si locutus fuerit homo, devorabitur. | Μὴ βίβλος ἢ γραμματεύς μοι παρέστηκεν, ἵνα ἄνθρωπον ἑστηκὼς κατασιωπήσω; |
| 21 | But now they see not the light: the air on a sudden shall be thickened into clouds, and the wind shall pass and drive them away. | At nunc non vident lucem: subito aër cogetur in nubes, et ventus transiens fugabit eas. | Πᾶσι δὲ οὐχ ὁρατὸν τὸ φῶς, τηλαυγές ἐστιν ἐν τοῖς παλαιώμασιν, ὥσπερ τὸ παρʼ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ νεφῶν. |
| 22 | Cold cometh out of the north, and to God praise with fear. | Ab aquilone aurum venit, et ad Deum formidolosa laudatio. | Ἀπὸ Βοῤῥᾶ νέφη χρυσαυγοῦντα, ἐπὶ τούτοις μεγάλη ἡ δόξα καὶ τιμὴ παντοκράτορος, |
| 23 | We cannot find him worthily: he is great in strength, and in judgment, and in justice, and he is ineffable. | Digne eum invenire non possumus: magnus fortitudine, et iudicio, et iustitia: et enarrari non potest. | καὶ οὐχ εὑρίσκομεν ἄλλον ὅμοιον τῇ ἰσχύϊ αὐτοῦ· ὁ τὰ δίκαια κρίνων, οὐκ οἴει ἐπακούειν αὐτόν; |
| 24 | Therefore men shall fear him, and all that seem to themselves to be wise, shall not dare to behold him. | Ideo timebunt eum viri, et non audebunt contemplari omnes qui sibi videntur esse sapientes. | Διὸ φοβηθήσονται αὐτὸν οἱ ἄνθρωποι, φοβηθήσονται δὲ αὐτὸν καὶ οἱ σοφοὶ καρδίᾳ. |
