	ΙΩΒ	<< Job: 34 >>	The Septuagint (Brenton)

1	Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ελιους λέγει		And Elius continued, and said,
2	Ἀκούσατέ μου, σοφοί· ἐπιστάμενοι, ἐνωτίζεσθε τὸ καλόν·		Hear me, you wise men; listen, you that have knowledge.
3	ὅτι οὖς λόγους δοκιμάζει, καὶ λάρυγξ γεύεται βρῶσιν.		For the ear tries words, and the mouth tastes meat.
4	κρίσιν ἑλώμεθα ἑαυτοῖς, γνῶμεν ἀνὰ μέσον ἑαυτῶν ὅ τι καλόν.		Let us choose judgment to ourselves: let us know amount ourselves what is right.
5	ὅτι εἴρηκεν Ιωβ Δίκαιός εἰμι, ὁ κύριος ἀπήλλαξέν μου τὸ κρίμα,		For Job has said, I am righteous: the Lord has removed my judgment.
6	ἐψεύσατο δὲ τῷ κρίματί μου, βίαιον τὸ βέλος μου ἄνευ ἀδικίας.		And he has erred in my judgment: my wound is severe without unrighteousness [of mine].
7	τίς ἀνὴρ ὥσπερ Ιωβ πίνων μυκτηρισμὸν ὥσπερ ὕδωρ;		What man is as Job, drinking scorning like water?
8	οὐχ ἁμαρτὼν οὐδὲ ἀσεβήσας ἢ ὁδοῦ κοινωνήσας μετὰ ποιούντων τὰ ἄνομα τοῦ πορευθῆναι μετὰ ἀσεβῶν;		[saying], I have not sinned, nor committed ungodliness, nor had fellowship with workers of iniquity, to go with the ungodly.
9	μὴ γὰρ εἴπῃς ὅτι Οὐκ ἔσται ἐπισκοπὴ ἀνδρός· καὶ ἐπισκοπὴ αὐτῷ παρὰ Κυρίου.		For you should not say, There shall be no visitation of a man, whereas [there is] a visitation on him from the Lord.
10	διό, συνετοὶ καρδίας, ἀκούσατέ μου Μή μοι εἴη ἔναντι κυρίου ἀσεβῆσαι, καὶ ἔναντι παντοκράτορος ταράξαι τὸ δίκαιον·		Why hear me, you that are wise in heart: far be it from me to sin before the Lord, and to pervert righteousness before the almighty.
11	ἀλλὰ ἀποδιδοῖ ἀνθρώπῳ καθὰ ποιεῖ ἕκαστος αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐν τρίβῳ ἀνδρὸς εὑρήσει αὐτόν.		Yes, he renders to a man accordingly as each of them does, and in a man's path he will find him.
12	οἴῃ δὲ τὸν κύριον ἄτοπα ποιήσειν; ἢ ὁ παντοκράτωρ ταράξει κρίσιν;		And do you think that the Lord will do wrong, or will the Almighty who made the earth wrest judgment?
13	ὃς ἐποίησεν τὴν γῆν· τίς δέ ἐστιν ὁ ποιῶν τὴν ὑπ' οὐρανὸν καὶ τὰ ἐνόντα πάντα;		And who is he that made [the whole world] under heaven, and all things therein?
14	εἰ γὰρ βούλοιτο συνέχειν καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα παρ' αὐτῷ κατασχεῖν,		For if he would confine, and restrain his spirit with himself;
15	τελευτήσει πᾶσα σὰρξ ὁμοθυμαδόν, πᾶς δὲ βροτὸς εἰς γῆν ἀπελεύσεται, ὅθεν καὶ ἐπλάσθη.		all flesh would die together, and every mortal would return to the earth, whence also he was formed.
16	εἰ δὲ μὴ νουθετῇ, ἄκουε ταῦτα, ἐνωτίζου φωνὴν ῥημάτων.		Take heed lest he rebuke [you]: hear this, listen to the voice of words.
17	ἰδὲ σὺ τὸν μισοῦντα ἄνομα καὶ τὸν ὀλλύντα τοὺς πονηροὺς ὄντα αἰώνιον δίκαιον.		Behold then the one that hates iniquities, and that destroys the wicked, who is for ever just.
18	ἀσεβὴς ὁ λέγων βασιλεῖ Παρανομεῖς, ἀσεβέστατε τοῖς ἄρχουσιν·		[He is] ungodly that says to a king, You are a transgressor, [that says] to princes, O most ungodly one.
19	ὃς οὐκ ἐπῃσχύνθη πρόσωπον ἐντίμου, οὐδὲ οἶδεν τιμὴν θέσθαι ἁδροῖς θαυμασθῆναι πρόσωπα αὐτῶν.		[Such a one] as would not reverence the face of an honourable man, neither knows how to give honour to the great, so as that their persons should be respected.
20	κενὰ δὲ αὐτοῖς ἀποβήσεται τὸ κεκραγέναι καὶ δεῖσθαι ἀνδρός· ἐχρήσαντο γὰρ παρανόμως ἐκκλινομένων ἀδυνάτων.		But it shall turn out vanity to them, to cry and beseech a man; for they dealt unlawfully, the poor being turned aside [from their right].
21	αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁρατής ἐστιν ἔργων ἀνθρώπων, λέληθεν δὲ αὐτὸν οὐδὲν ὧν πράσσουσιν,		For he surveys the works of men, and nothing of what they do has escaped him.
22	οὐδὲ ἔσται τόπος τοῦ κρυβῆναι τοὺς ποιοῦντας τὰ ἄνομα·		Neither shall there be a place for the workers of iniquity to hide themselves.
23	ὅτι οὐκ ἐπ' ἄνδρα θήσει ἔτι· ὁ γὰρ κύριος πάντας ἐφορᾷ		For he will not lay upon a man more [than right].
24	ὁ καταλαμβάνων ἀνεξιχνίαστα, ἔνδοξά τε καὶ ἐξαίσια, ὧν οὐκ ἔστιν ἀριθμός·		For the Lord looks down upon all men, who comprehends unsearchable things, glorious also and excellent things without number.
25	ὁ γνωρίζων αὐτῶν τὰ ἔργα καὶ στρέψει νύκτα, καὶ ταπεινωθήσονται.		Who discovers their works, and will bring night about [upon them], and they shall be brought low.
26	ἔσβεσεν δὲ ἀσεβεῖς, ὁρατοὶ δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ,		And he quite destroys the ungodly, for they are seen before him.
27	ὅτι ἐξέκλιναν ἐκ νόμου θεοῦ, δικαιώματα δὲ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐπέγνωσαν		Because they turned aside from the law of God, and did not regard his ordinances,
28	τοῦ ἐπαγαγεῖν ἐπ' αὐτὸν κραυγὴν πένητος, καὶ κραυγὴν πτωχῶν εἰσακούσεται.		so as to bring before him the cry of the needy; for he will hear the cry of the poor.
29	καὶ αὐτὸς ἡσυχίαν παρέξει, καὶ τίς καταδικάσεται; καὶ κρύψει πρόσωπον, καὶ τίς ὄψεται αὐτόν; καὶ κατὰ ἔθνους καὶ κατὰ ἀνθρώπου ὁμοῦ·		And he will give quiet, and who will condemn? and he will hide his face, and who shall see him? whether [it be done] against a nation, or against a man also:
30	βασιλεύων ἄνθρωπον ὑποκριτὴν ἀπὸ δυσκολίας λαοῦ.		causing a hypocrite to be king, because of the waywardness of the people.
31	ὅτι πρὸς τὸν ἰσχυρὸν ὁ λέγων Εἴληφα, οὐκ ἐνεχυράσω·		For [there is] one that says to the Mighty One, I have received [blessings]; I will not take a pledge:
32	ἄνευ ἐμαυτοῦ ὄψομαι, σὺ δεῖξόν μοι· εἰ ἀδικίαν ἠργασάμην, οὐ μὴ προσθήσω.		I will see apart from myself: do you shew me if I have done unrighteousness; I will not do [so] any more.
33	μὴ παρὰ σοῦ ἀποτείσει αὐτήν; ὅτι ἀπώσῃ, ὅτι σὺ ἐκλέξῃ καὶ οὐκ ἐγώ· καὶ τί ἔγνως λάλησον.		Will he take vengeance for it on you, whereas you will put [it] far [from you]? for you shall choose, and not I; and what you know, speak.
34	διὸ συνετοὶ καρδίας ἐροῦσιν ταῦτα, ἀνὴρ δὲ σοφὸς ἀκήκοέν μου τὸ ῥῆμα.		Because the wise in heart shall say this, and a wise man listens to my word.
35	Ιωβ δὲ οὐκ ἐν συνέσει ἐλάλησεν, τὰ δὲ ῥήματα αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐν ἐπιστήμῃ.		But Job has not spoken with understanding, his words are not [uttered] with knowledge.
36	οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ μάθε, Ιωβ, μὴ δῷς ἔτι ἀνταπόκρισιν ὥσπερ οἱ ἄφρονες,		Howbeit do you learn, Job: no longer make answer as the foolish:
37	ἵνα μὴ προσθῶμεν ἐφ' ἁμαρτίαις ἡμῶν, ἀνομία δὲ ἐφ' ἡμῖν λογισθήσεται πολλὰ λαλούντων ῥήματα ἐναντίον τοῦ κυρίου.		that we add not to our sins: for iniquity will be reckoned against us, if [we] speak many words before the Lord.
