| 1 | Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Βαλδαδ ὁ Σαυχίτης λέγει | Bildad. Jb.18.1-21 | Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said, |
| 2 | Μέχρι τίνος οὐ παύσῃ; ἐπίσχες, ἵνα καὶ αὐτοὶ λαλήσωμεν. | How long will you continue? forbear, that we also may speak. | |
| 3 | διὰ τί ὥσπερ τετράποδα σεσιωπήκαμεν ἐναντίον σου; | For why have we been silent before you like brutes? | |
| 4 | κέχρηταί σοι ὀργή. τί γάρ; ἐὰν σὺ ἀποθάνῃς, ἀοίκητος ἡ ὑπ' οὐρανόν; ἢ καταστραφήσεται ὄρη ἐκ θεμελίων; | Anger has possessed you: for what if you should die; would [the earth] under heaven be desolate? or shall the mountains be overthrown from their foundations? | |
| 5 | καὶ φῶς ἀσεβῶν σβεσθήσεται, καὶ οὐκ ἀποβήσεται αὐτῶν ἡ φλόξ· | But the light of the ungodly shall be quenched, and their flame shall not go up. | |
| 6 | τὸ φῶς αὐτοῦ σκότος ἐν διαίτῃ, ὁ δὲ λύχνος ἐπ' αὐτῷ σβεσθήσεται. | His light [shall be] darkness in [his] habitation, and his lamp shall be put out with him. | |
| 7 | θηρεύσαισαν ἐλάχιστοι τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ, σφάλαι δὲ αὐτοῦ ἡ βουλή. | Let the meanest of men spoil his goods, and let his counsel deceive [him]. | |
| 8 | ἐμβέβληται δὲ ὁ ποὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν παγίδι· ἐν δικτύῳ ἑλιχθείη. | His foot also has been caught in a snare, [and] let it be entangled in a net. | |
| 9 | ἔλθοισαν δὲ ἐπ' αὐτὸν παγίδες· κατισχύσει ἐπ' αὐτὸν διψῶντας. | And let snares come upon him: he shall strengthen those that thirst for his destruction. | |
| 10 | κέκρυπται ἐν τῇ γῇ σχοινίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡ σύλλημψις αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τρίβων. | His snare is hid in the earth, and that which shall take him is by the path. | |
| 11 | κύκλῳ ὀλέσαισαν αὐτὸν ὀδύναι, πολλοὶ δὲ περὶ πόδας αὐτοῦ ἔλθοισαν ἐν λιμῷ στενῷ. | Let pains destroy him round about, and let many [enemies] come about him, | |
| 12 | πτῶμα δὲ αὐτῷ ἡτοίμασται ἐξαίσιον. | [vex him] with distressing hunger: and a signal destruction has been prepared for him. | |
| 13 | βρωθείησαν αὐτοῦ κλῶνες ποδῶν, κατέδεται δὲ τὰ ὡραῖα αὐτοῦ θάνατος. ἐκραγείη δὲ ἐκ διαίτης αὐτοῦ ἴασις, σχοίη δὲ αὐτὸν ἀνάγκη αἰτίᾳ βασιλικῇ. | Let the soles of his feet be devoured: and death shall consume his beauty. | |
| 14 | ἐκραγείη δὲ ἐκ διαίτης αὐτοῦ ἴασις, σχοίη δὲ αὐτὸν ἀνάγκη αἰτίᾳ βασιλικῇ. | And let health be utterly banished from his tabernacle, and let distress seize upon him with a charge from the king. | |
| 15 | κατασκηνώσει ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ αὐτοῦ ἐν νυκτὶ αὐτοῦ, κατασπαρήσονται τὰ εὐπρεπῆ αὐτοῦ θείῳ. | It shall dwell in his tabernacle in his night: his excellency shall be sown with brimstone. | |
| 16 | ὑποκάτωθεν αἱ ῥίζαι αὐτοῦ ξηρανθήσονται, καὶ ἐπάνωθεν ἐπιπεσεῖται θερισμὸς αὐτοῦ. | His roots shall be dried up from beneath, and his crop shall fall away from above. | |
| 17 | τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτοῦ ἀπόλοιτο ἐκ γῆς, καὶ ὑπάρχει ὄνομα αὐτῷ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐξωτέρω. | Let his memorial perish out of the earth, and his name shall be publicly cast out. | |
| 18 | ἀπώσειεν αὐτὸν ἐκ φωτὸς εἰς σκότος. | Let [one] drive him from light into darkness. | |
| 19 | οὐκ ἔσται ἐπίγνωστος ἐν λαῷ αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ σεσῳσμένος ἐν τῇ ὑπ' οὐρανὸν ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ, ἀλλ' ἐν τοῖς αὐτοῦ ζήσονται ἕτεροι. | He shall not be known among his people, nor his house preserved on the earth. | |
| 20 | ἐπ' αὐτῷ ἐστέναξαν ἔσχατοι, πρώτους δὲ ἔσχεν θαῦμα. | But strangers shall dwell in his possessions: the last groaned for him, and wonder seized the first. | |
| 21 | οὗτοί εἰσιν οἶκοι ἀδίκων, οὗτος δὲ ὁ τόπος τῶν μὴ εἰδότων τὸν κύριον. | These are the houses of the unrighteous, and this is the place of them that know not the Lord. | |
