| Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Σωφαρ ὁ Μιναῖος λέγει | Zophar. Jb.11.1-20Zophar. Jb.11.1-20 | Then Sophar the Minaean answered and said, | |
| Ὁ τὰ πολλὰ λέγων καὶ ἀντακούσεται· ἢ καὶ ὁ εὔλαλος οἴεται εἶναι δίκαιος; εὐλογημένος γεννητὸς γυναικὸς ὀλιγόβιος. | He that speaks much, should also hear on the other side: or does the fluent speaker think himself to be righteous? blessed [is] the short lived offspring of woman. | ||
| μὴ πολὺς ἐν ῥήμασιν γίνου, οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἀντικρινόμενός σοι. | Be not a speaker of many words; for is there none to answer you? | ||
| μὴ γὰρ λέγε ὅτι Καθαρός εἰμι τοῖς ἔργοις καὶ ἄμεμπτος ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ. | For say not, I am pure in my works, and blameless before him. | ||
| ἀλλὰ πῶς ἂν ὁ κύριος λαλήσαι πρὸς σέ; καὶ ἀνοίξει χείλη αὐτοῦ μετὰ σοῦ. | But oh that the Lord would speak to you, and open his lips to you! | ||
| εἶτα ἀναγγελεῖ σοι δύναμιν σοφίας, ὅτι διπλοῦς ἔσται τῶν κατὰ σέ· καὶ τότε γνώσῃ ὅτι ἄξιά σοι ἀπέβη ἀπὸ κυρίου ὧν ἡμάρτηκας. | Then shall he declare to you the power of wisdom; for it shall be double of that which is with you: and then shall you know, that a just recompense of your sins has come to you from the Lord. | ||
| ἦ ἴχνος κυρίου εὑρήσεις ἢ εἰς τὰ ἔσχατα ἀφίκου, ἃ ἐποίησεν ὁ παντοκράτωρ; | Will you find out the traces of the Lord? or have you come to the end [of that] which the Almighty has made? | ||
| ὑψηλὸς ὁ οὐρανός, καὶ τί ποιήσεις; βαθύτερα δὲ τῶν ἐν ᾅδου τί οἶδας; | Heaven [is] high; and what will you do? and there are deeper things than those in hell; what do you know? | ||
| ἢ μακρότερα μέτρου γῆς ἢ εὔρους θαλάσσης; | Or longer than the measure of the earth, or the breadth of the sea. | ||
| ἐὰν δὲ καταστρέψῃ τὰ πάντα, τίς ἐρεῖ αὐτῷ Τί ἐποίησας; | And if he should overthrow all things, who will say to him, What have you done? | ||
| αὐτὸς γὰρ οἶδεν ἔργα ἀνόμων, ἰδὼν δὲ ἄτοπα οὐ παρόψεται. | For he knows the works of transgressors; and when he sees wickedness, he will not overlook [it]. | ||
| ἄνθρωπος δὲ ἄλλως νήχεται λόγοις, βροτὸς δὲ γεννητὸς γυναικὸς ἴσα ὄνῳ ἐρημίτῃ. | But man vainly buoys himself up with words; and a mortal born of woman [is] like an ass in the desert. | ||
| εἰ γὰρ σὺ καθαρὰν ἔθου τὴν καρδίαν σου, ὑπτιάζεις δὲ χεῖρας πρὸς αὐτόν, | For if you have made your heart pure, and lifts up [thine] hands towards him; | ||
| εἰ ἄνομόν τί ἐστιν ἐν χερσίν σου, πόρρω ποίησον αὐτὸ ἀπὸ σοῦ, ἀδικία δὲ ἐν διαίτῃ σου μὴ αὐλισθήτω. | if there is any iniquity in your hands, put if far from you, and let not unrighteousness lodge in your habitation. | ||
| οὕτως γὰρ ἀναλάμψει σου τὸ πρόσωπον ὥσπερ ὕδωρ καθαρόν, ἐκδύσῃ δὲ ῥύπον καὶ οὐ μὴ φοβηθῇς· | For thus shall your countenance shine again, as pure water; and you shall divest yourself of uncleanness, and shall not fear. | ||
| καὶ τὸν κόπον ἐπιλήσῃ ὥσπερ κῦμα παρελθὸν καὶ οὐ πτοηθήσῃ· | And you shall forget trouble, as a wave that has passed by; and you shall not be scared. | ||
| ἡ δὲ εὐχή σου ὥσπερ ἑωσφόρος, ἐκ δὲ μεσημβρίας ἀνατελεῖ σοι ζωή· | And your prayer [shall be] as the morning star, and life shall arise to you [as] from the noonday. | ||
| πεποιθώς τε ἔσῃ ὅτι ἔστιν σοι ἐλπίς, ἐκ δὲ μερίμνης καὶ φροντίδος ἀναφανεῖταί σοι εἰρήνη. | And you shall be confident, because you have hope; and peace shall dawn to you from out of anxiety and care. | ||
| ἡσυχάσεις γάρ, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ πολεμῶν σε· μεταβαλόμενοι δὲ πολλοί σου δεηθήσονται. | For you shall be at ease, and there shall be no one to fight against you; and many shall charge, and make supplication to you. | ||
| σωτηρία δὲ αὐτοὺς ἀπολείψει· ἡ γὰρ ἐλπὶς αὐτῶν ἀπώλεια, ὀφθαλμοὶ δὲ ἀσεβῶν τακήσονται. | But safety shall fail them; for their hope is destruction, and the eyes of the ungodly shall waste away. | ||
