| ΙΩΒ | << Job: 41 >> | The Septuagint (Brenton) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | οὐχ ἑόρακας αὐτὸν οὐδὲ ἐπὶ τοῖς λεγομένοις τεθαύμακας; | Have you not seen him? and have you not wondered at the things said [of him]? | |
| 1 | οὐ δέδοικας ὅτι ἡτοίμασταί μοι; τίς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἐμοὶ ἀντιστάς; | Do you not fear because preparation has been made by me? for who is there that resists me? | |
| 2 | ἢ τίς ἀντιστήσεταί μοι καὶ ὑπομενεῖ, εἰ πᾶσα ἡ ὑπ' οὐρανὸν ἐμή ἐστιν; | Or who will resist me, and abide, since the whole [world] under heaven is mine? | |
| 3 | οὐ σιωπήσομαι δι' αὐτόν, καὶ λόγον δυνάμεως ἐλεήσει τὸν ἴσον αὐτοῦ. | I will not be silent because of him: though because of his power [one] shall pity his antagonist. | |
| 4 | τίς ἀποκαλύψει πρόσωπον ἐνδύσεως αὐτοῦ; εἰς δὲ πτύξιν θώρακος αὐτοῦ τίς ἂν εἰσέλθοι; | Who will open the face of his garment? and who can enter within the fold of his breastplate? | |
| 5 | πύλας προσώπου αὐτοῦ τίς ἀνοίξει; κύκλῳ ὀδόντων αὐτοῦ φόβος. | Who will open the doors of his face? terror is round about his teeth. | |
| 6 | τὰ ἔγκατα αὐτοῦ ἀσπίδες χάλκειαι, σύνδεσμος δὲ αὐτοῦ ὥσπερ σμιρίτης λίθος· | His inwards are as brazen plates, and the texture of his [skin] as a smyrite stone. | |
| 7 | εἷς τοῦ ἑνὸς κολλῶνται, πνεῦμα δὲ οὐ μὴ διέλθῃ αὐτόν· | One [part] cleaves fast to another, and the air cannot come between them. | |
| 8 | ἀνὴρ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ προσκολληθήσεται, συνέχονται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποσπασθῶσιν. | They will remain united each to the other: they are closely joined, and cannot be separated. | |
| 9 | ἐν πταρμῷ αὐτοῦ ἐπιφαύσκεται φέγγος, οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἶδος ἑωσφόρου. | At his sneezing a light shines, and his eyes are [as] the appearance of the morning star. | |
| 10 | ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύονται λαμπάδες καιόμεναι, καὶ διαρριπτοῦνται ἐσχάραι πυρός· | Out of his mouth proceed as it were burning lamps, and as it were hearths of fire are cast abroad. | |
| 11 | ἐκ μυκτήρων αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύεται καπνὸς καμίνου καιομένης πυρὶ ἀνθράκων· | Out of his nostrils proceeds smoke of a furnace burning with fire of coals. | |
| 12 | ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἄνθρακες, φλὸξ δὲ ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύεται. | His breath is [as] live coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth. | |
| 13 | ἐν δὲ τραχήλῳ αὐτοῦ αὐλίζεται δύναμις, ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ τρέχει ἀπώλεια. | And power is lodged in his neck, before him destruction runs. | |
| 14 | σάρκες δὲ σώματος αὐτοῦ κεκόλληνται· καταχέει ἐπ' αὐτόν, οὐ σαλευθήσεται. | The flesh also of his body is joined together: [if one] pours [violence] upon him, he shall not be moved. | |
| 15 | ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ πέπηγεν ὡς λίθος, ἕστηκεν δὲ ὥσπερ ἄκμων ἀνήλατος. | His heart is firm as a stone, and it stands like an unyielding anvil. | |
| 16 | στραφέντος δὲ αὐτοῦ φόβος θηρίοις τετράποσιν ἐπὶ γῆς ἁλλομένοις. | And when he turns, [he is] a terror to the four-footed wild beasts which leap upon the earth. | |
| 17 | ἐὰν συναντήσωσιν αὐτῷ λόγχαι, οὐδὲν μὴ ποιήσωσιν δόρυ ἐπηρμένον καὶ θώρακα· | If spears should come against him, [men] will effect nothing, [either with] the spear or the breast-plate. | |
| 18 | ἥγηται μὲν γὰρ σίδηρον ἄχυρα, χαλκὸν δὲ ὥσπερ ξύλον σαθρόν· | For he considers iron as chaff, and brass as rotten wood. | |
| 19 | οὐ μὴ τρώσῃ αὐτὸν τόξον χάλκειον, ἥγηται μὲν πετροβόλον χόρτον· | The bow of brass shall not would him, he deems a slinger as grass. | |
| 20 | ὡς καλάμη ἐλογίσθησαν σφῦραι, καταγελᾷ δὲ σεισμοῦ πυρφόρου. | Mauls are counted as stubble; and he laughs to scorn the waving of the firebrand. | |
| 21 | ἡ στρωμνὴ αὐτοῦ ὀβελίσκοι ὀξεῖς, πᾶς δὲ χρυσὸς θαλάσσης ὑπ' αὐτὸν ὥσπερ πηλὸς ἀμύθητος. | His lair is [formed of] sharp points; and all the gold of the sea under him is an immense [quantity of] clay. | |
| 22 | ἀναζεῖ τὴν ἄβυσσον ὥσπερ χαλκεῖον, ἥγηται δὲ τὴν θάλασσαν ὥσπερ ἐξάλειπτρον, | He makes the deep boil like a brazen caldron; and he regards the sea as a pot of ointment, | |
| 23 | τὸν δὲ τάρταρον τῆς ἀβύσσου ὥσπερ αἰχμάλωτον· ἐλογίσατο ἄβυσσον εἰς περίπατον. | and the lowest part of the deep as a captive: he reckons the deep as [his] range. | |
| 24 | οὐκ ἔστιν οὐδὲν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὅμοιον αὐτῷ πεποιημένον ἐγκαταπαίζεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων μου· | There is nothing upon the earth like to him, formed to be sported with by my angels. | |
| 25 | πᾶν ὑψηλὸν ὁρᾷ, αὐτὸς δὲ βασιλεὺς πάντων τῶν ἐν τοῖς ὕδασιν. | He beholds every high thing: and he is king of all that are in the waters. | |
