|---|---|---|
| 1 | Knowest thou the time when the wild goats bring forth among the rocks, or hast thou observed the hinds when they fawn? | Εἰ ἔγνως καιρὸν τοκετοῦ τραγελάφων πέτρας, ἐφύλαξας δὲ ὠδῖνας ἐλάφων, |
| 2 | Hast thou numbered the months of their conceiving, or knowest thou the time when they bring forth? | ἠρίθμησας δὲ μῆνας αὐτῶν πλήρεις τοκετοῦ αὐτῶν, ὠδῖνας δὲ αὐτῶν ἔλυσας, |
| 3 | They bow themselves to bring forth young, and they cast them, and send forth roarings. | ἐξέθρεψας δὲ αὐτῶν τὰ παιδία ἔξω φόβου, ὠδῖνας δὲ αὐτῶν ἐξαποστελεῖς, |
| 4 | Their young are weaned and go to feed: they go forth, and return not to them. | ἀποῤῥήξουσι τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν, πληθυνθήσονται ἐν γενγήματι· ἐξελεύσονται, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀνακάμψουσιν αὐτοῖς. |
| 5 | Who hath sent out the wild ass free, and who hath loosed his bonds? | Τίς δέ ἐστιν ὁ ἀφεὶς ὄνον ἄγριον ἐλεύθερον; δεσμοὺς δὲ αὐτοῦ τίς ἔλυσεν; |
| 6 | To whom I have given a house in the wilderness, and his dwellings in the barren land. | Ἐθέμην δὲ τὴν δίαιταν αὐτοῦ ἔρημον, καὶ τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτοῦ ἁλμυρίδα. |
| 7 | He scorneth the multitude of the city, he heareth not the cry of the driver. | Καταγελῶν πολυοχλίας πόλεως, μέμψιν δὲ φορολόγου οὐκ ἀκούων, |
| 8 | He looketh round about the mountains of his pasture, and seeketh for every green thing. | κατασκέψεται ὄρη νομὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὀπίσω παντὸς χλωροῦ ζητεῖ. |
| 9 | Shall the rhinoceros be willing to serve thee, or will he stay at thy crib? | Βουλήσεται δέ σοι μονόκερως δουλεῦσαι, ἢ κοιμηθῆναι ἐπὶ φάτνης σου; |
| 10 | Canst thou bind the rhinoceros with thy thong to plough, or will he break the clods of the valleys after thee? | Δήσεις δὲ ἐν ἱμᾶσι ζυγὸν αὐτοῦ, ἢ ἑλκύσει σου αὔλακας ἐν πεδίῳ; |
| 11 | Wilt thou have confidence in his great strength, and leave thy labours to him? | Πέποιθας δὲ ἐπʼ αὐτῷ, ὅτι πολλὴ ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτοῦ, ἐπαφήσεις δὲ αὐτῷ τὰ ἔργα σου; |
| 12 | Wilt thou trust him that he will render thee the seed, and gather it into thy barnfloor? | Πιστεύσεις δὲ, ὅτι ἀποδώσει σοι τὸν σπόρον, εἰσοίσει δέ σου τὸν ἅλωνα; |
| 13 | The wing of the ostrich is like the wings of the heron, and of the hawk. | Πτέρυξ τερπομένων νεέλασσα, ἐὰν συλλάβῃ ἁσίδα καὶ νέσσα· |
| 14 | When she leaveth her eggs on the earth, thou perhaps wilt warm them in the dust. | Ὅτι ἀφήσει εἰς γῆν τὰ ὠὰ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐπὶ χοῦν θάλψει, |
| 15 | She forgetteth that the foot may tread upon them, or that the beasts of the field may break them. | καὶ ἐπελάθετο, ὅτι ποῦς σκορπιεῖ, καὶ θηρία ἀγροῦ καταπατήσει. |
| 16 | She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers, she hath laboured in vain, no fear constraining her. | Ἀπεσκλήρυνε τὰ τέκνα ἑαυτῆς, ὥστε μὴ ἑαυτήν· εἰς κενὸν ἐκοπίασεν ἄνευ φόβου. |
| 17 | For God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he given her understanding. | Ὅτι κατεσιώπησεν αὐτῇ ὁ Θεὸς σοφίαν, καὶ οὐκ ἐπεμέρισεν αὐτῇ ἐν τῇ συνέσει. |
| 18 | When time shall be, she setteth up her wings on high: she scorneth the horse and his rider. | Κατὰ καιρὸν ἐν ὕψει ὑψώσει, καταγελάσεται ἵππου, καὶ τοῦ ἐπιβάτου αὐτοῦ. |
| 19 | Wilt thou give strength to the horse, or clothe his neck with neighing? | Ἢ σὺ περιέθηκας ἵππῳ δύναμιν, ἐνέδυσας δὲ τραχήλῳ αὐτοῦ φόβον; |
| 20 | Wilt thou lift him up like the locusts? the glory of his nostrils is terror. | Περιέθηκας δὲ αὐτῷ πανοπλίαν; δόξαν δὲ στηθέων αὐτοῦ τόλμῃ. |
| 21 | He breaketh up the earth with his hoof, he pranceth boldly, he goeth forward to meet armed men. | Ἀνορύσσων ἐν πεδίῳ γαυριᾷ, ἐκπορεύεται δὲ εἰς πεδίον ἐν ἰσχύϊ. |
| 22 | He despiseth fear, he turneth not his back to the sword, | Συναντῶν βασιλεῖ καταγελᾷ, καὶ οὐ μὴν ἀποστραφῇ ἀπὸ σιδήρου. |
| 23 | Above him shall the quiver rattle, the spear and shield shall glitter. | Ἐπʼ αὐτῷ γαυριᾷ τόξον καὶ μάχαιρα, |
| 24 | Chasing and raging he swalloweth the ground, neither doth he make account when the noise of the trumpet soundeth. | καὶ ὀργὴ ἀφανιεῖ τὴν γῆν· καὶ οὐ μὴ πιστεύσει, ἕως ἂν σημάνῃ σάλπιγξ. |
| 25 | When he heareth the trumpet he saith: Ha, ha: he smelleth the battle afar off, the encouraging of the captains, and the shouting of the army. | Σάλπιγγος δὲ σημαινούσης, λέγει, εὖγε· πόῤῥωθεν δὲ ὀσφραίνεται πολέμου σὺν ἅλματι καὶ κραυγῇ. |
| 26 | Doth the hawk wax feathered by thy wisdom, spreading her wings to the south? | Ἐκ δὲ τῆς σῆς ἐπιστήμης ἕστηκεν ἱέραξ, ἀναπετάσας τὰς πτέρυγας, ἀκίνητος, καθορῶν τὰ πρὸς Νότον; |
| 27 | Will the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest in high places? | Ἐπὶ δὲ σῷ προστάγματι ὑψοῦται ἀετὸς, γὺψ δὲ ἐπὶ νοσσιᾶς αὐτοῦ καθεσθεὶς αὐλίζεται, |
| 28 | She abideth among the rocks, and dwelleth among cragged flints, and stony hills, where there is no access. | ἐπʼ ἐξοχῇ πέτρας, καὶ ἀποκρύφῳ, |
| 29 | From thence she looketh for the prey, and her eyes behold afar off. | ἐκεῖσε ὢν ζητεῖ τὰ σῖτα, πόῤῥωθεν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ σκοπεύουσι. |
| 30 | Her young ones shall suck up blood: and wheresoever the carcass shall be, she is immediately there. | Νεοσσοὶ δὲ αὐτοῦ φύρονται ἐν αἵματι, οὗ δʼ ἂν ὦσι τεθνεῶτες, παραχρῆμα εὑρίσκονται. |
| 31 | And the Lord went on, and said to Job: | — |
| 32 | Shall he that contendeth with God be so easily silenced? surely he that reproveth God, ought to answer him. | — |
| 33 | Then Job answered the Lord, and said: | — |
| 34 | What can I answer, who hath spoken inconsiderately? I will lay my hand upon my mouth. | — |
| 35 | One thing I have spoken, which I wish I had not said: and another, to which I will add no more. | — |
