| 1 | Προσθεὶς δὲ Ελιους ἔτι λέγει | And Elius further continued, and said, | |
| 2 | Μεῖνόν με μικρὸν ἔτι, ἵνα διδάξω σε· ἔτι γὰρ ἐν ἐμοί ἐστιν λέξις. | Wait for me yet a little while, that I may teach you: for there is yet speech in me. | |
| 3 | ἀναλαβὼν τὴν ἐπιστήμην μου μακρὰν, ἔργοις δέ μου δίκαια ἐρῶ | Having fetched my knowledge from afar, and according to my works, | |
| 4 | ἐπ' ἀληθείας καὶ οὐκ ἄδικα ῥήματα· ἀδίκως συνίεις. | I will speak just things truly, and you shall not unjustly receive unjust words. | |
| 5 | γίγνωσκε δὲ ὅτι ὁ κύριος οὐ μὴ ἀποποιήσηται τὸν ἄκακον. δυνατὸς ἰσχύι καρδίας | But know that the Lord will not cast off an innocent man: being mighty in strength of wisdom, | |
| 6 | ἀσεβῆ οὐ μὴ ζωοποιήσει καὶ κρίμα πτωχῶν δώσει. | he will not by any means save alive the ungodly: and he will grant the judgment of the poor. | |
| 7 | οὐκ ἀφελεῖ ἀπὸ δικαίου ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ· καὶ μετὰ βασιλέων εἰς θρόνον καὶ καθιεῖ αὐτοὺς εἰς νεῖκος, καὶ ὑψωθήσονται. | He will not turn away his eyes from the righteous, but [they shall be] with kings on the throne: and he will establish them in triumph, and they shall be exalted. | |
| 8 | καὶ εἰ πεπεδημένοι ἐν χειροπέδαις συσχεθήσονται ἐν σχοινίοις πενίας, | But they that are bound in fetters shall be holden in cords of poverty. | |
| 9 | καὶ ἀναγγελεῖ αὐτοῖς τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ παραπτώματα αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἰσχύσουσιν. | And he shall recount to them heir works, and their transgressions, for such will act with violence. | |
| 10 | ἀλλὰ τοῦ δικαίου εἰσακούσεται· καὶ εἶπεν ὅτι ἐπιστραφήσονται ἐξ ἀδικίας. | But he will listen to the righteous: and he has said that they shall turn from unrighteousness. | |
| 11 | ἐὰν ἀκούσωσιν καὶ δουλεύσωσιν, συντελέσουσιν τὰς ἡμέρας αὐτῶν ἐν ἀγαθοῖς καὶ τὰ ἔτη αὐτῶν ἐν εὐπρεπείαις. | If they should hear and serve [him], they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in honour. | |
| 12 | ἀσεβεῖς δὲ οὐ διασῴζει παρὰ τὸ μὴ βούλεσθαι εἰδέναι αὐτοὺς τὸν κύριον, καὶ διότι νουθετούμενοι ἀνήκοοι ἦσαν. | But he preserves not the ungodly; because they are not willing to know the Lord, and because when reproved they were disobedient. | |
| 13 | καὶ ὑποκριταὶ καρδίᾳ τάξουσιν θυμόν· οὐ βοήσονται, ὅτι ἔδησεν αὐτούς. | And the hypocrites in heart will array wrath [against themselves]; they will not cry, because he has bound them. | |
| 14 | ἀποθάνοι τοίνυν ἐν νεότητι ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῶν, ἡ δὲ ζωὴ αὐτῶν τιτρωσκομένη ὑπὸ ἀγγέλων, | Therefore let their soul die in youth, and their life be wounded by messengers [of death]. | |
| 15 | ἀνθ' ὧν ἔθλιψαν ἀσθενῆ καὶ ἀδύνατον· κρίμα δὲ πραέων ἐκθήσει. | Because they afflicted the weak and helpless: and he will vindicate the judgment of the meek. | |
| 16 | καὶ προσέτι ἠπάτησέν σε ἐκ στόματος ἐχθροῦ· ἄβυσσος, κατάχυσις ὑποκάτω αὐτῆς· καὶ κατέβη τράπεζά σου πλήρης πιότητος. | And he has also enticed you out of the mouth of the enemy: | |
| 17 | οὐχ ὑστερήσει δὲ ἀπὸ δικαίων κρίμα, | [there is] a deep gulf [and] a rushing stream beneath it, and your table came down full of fatness. Judgment shall not fail from the righteous; | |
| 18 | θυμὸς δὲ ἐπ' ἀσεβεῖς ἔσται δι' ἀσέβειαν δώρων, ὧν ἐδέχοντο ἐπ' ἀδικίαις. | but there shall be wrath upon the ungodly, by reason of the ungodliness of the bribes which they received for iniquities. | |
| 19 | μή σε ἐκκλινάτω ἑκὼν ὁ νοῦς δεήσεως ἐν ἀνάγκῃ ὄντων ἀδυνάτων, καὶ πάντας τοὺς κραταιοῦντας ἰσχύν. | Let not [your] mind willingly turn you aside from the petition of the feeble that are in distress. | |
| 20 | μὴ ἐξελκύσῃς τὴν νύκτα, τοῦ ἀναβῆναι λαοὺς ἀντ αὐτῶν· | And draw not forth all the mighty [men] by night, so that the people should go up instead of them. | |
| 21 | ἀλλὰ φύλαξαι μὴ πράξῃς ἄτοπα· ἐπὶ τοῦτον γὰρ ἐξείλω ἀπὸ πτωχείας. | But take heed lest you do that which is wrong: for of this you has made choice because of poverty. | |
| 22 | ἰδοὺ ὁ ἰσχυρὸς κραταιώσει ἐν ἰσχύι αὐτοῦ· τίς γάρ ἐστιν κατ' αὐτὸν δυνάστης; | Behold, the Mighty One shall prevail by his strength: for who is powerful as he is? | |
| 23 | τίς δέ ἐστιν ὁ ἐτάζων αὐτοῦ τὰ ἔργα; ἢ τίς ὁ εἴπας Ἔπραξεν ἄδικα; | And who is he that examines his works? or who can say, he has wrought injustice? | |
| 24 | μνήσθητι ὅτι μεγάλα ἐστὶν αὐτοῦ τὰ ἔργα, ὧν ἦρξαν ἄνδρες· | Remember that his works are great [beyond] those which men have attempted. | |
| 25 | πᾶς ἄνθρωπος εἶδεν ἐν ἑαυτῷ, ὅσοι τιτρωσκόμενοί εἰσιν βροτοί. | Every man has seen in himself, how many mortals are wounded. | |
| 26 | ἰδοὺ ὁ ἰσχυρὸς πολύς, καὶ οὐ γνωσόμεθα· ἀριθμὸς ἐτῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπέραντος. | Behold, the Mighty One is great, and we shall not know [him]: the number of his years is even infinite. | |
| 27 | ἀριθμηταὶ δὲ αὐτῷ σταγόνες ὑετοῦ, καὶ ἐπιχυθήσονται ὑετῷ εἰς νεφέλην· | And the drops of rain are numbered by him, and shall be poured out in rain to form a cloud. | |
| 28 | ῥυήσονται παλαιώματα, ἐσκίασεν δὲ νέφη ἐπὶ ἀμυθήτων βροτῶν. | The ancient [heavens] shall flow, and the clouds overshadow innumerable mortals: | |
| 28 | ὥραν ἔθετο κτήνεσιν, οἴδασιν δὲ κοίτης τάξιν. | he has fixed a time to cattle, and they know the order of rest. | |
| 28 | ἐπὶ τούτοις πᾶσιν οὐκ ἐξίσταταί σου ἡ διάνοια οὐδὲ διαλλάσσεταί σου ἡ καρδία ἀπὸ σώματος; | [Yet] by all these things thy understanding is not astonished, neither is thy mind disturbed in [your] body. | |
| 29 | καὶ ἐὰν συνῇ ἀπεκτάσεις νεφέλης, ἰσότητα σκηνῆς αὐτοῦ, | And though one should understand the outspreadings of the clouds, [or] the measure of his tabernacle; | |
| 30 | ἰδοὺ ἐκτείνει ἐπ' αὐτὸν ηδω καὶ ῥιζώματα τῆς θαλάσσης ἐκάλυψεν. | behold he will stretch his bow against him, and he covers the bottom of the sea. | |
| 31 | ἐν γὰρ αὐτοῖς κρινεῖ λαούς, δώσει τροφὴν τῷ ἰσχύοντι. | For by them he will judge the nations: he will give food to him that has strength. | |
| 32 | ἐπὶ χειρῶν ἐκάλυψεν φῶς, καὶ ἐνετείλατο περὶ αὐτῆς ἐν ἀπαντῶντι· | He has hidden the light in [his] hands, and given charge concerning it to the interposing [cloud]. | |
| 33 | ἀναγγελεῖ περὶ αὐτοῦ φίλον αὐτοῦ· κτῆσις καὶ περὶ ἀδικίας. | The Lord will declare concerning this [to] his friend: [but there is] a portion also for unrighteousness. | |
