 Old Testament in Greek (Septuagint) : The Septuagint in English (Brenton)

Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Βαλδαδ ὁ Σαυχίτης λέγει
Bildad. Jb.18.1-21Bildad. Jb.18.1-21Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,
Μέχρι τίνος οὐ παύσῃ;
ἐπίσχες, ἵνα καὶ αὐτοὶ λαλήσωμεν.
  How long will you continue?
forbear, that we also may speak.
διὰ τί ὥσπερ τετράποδα σεσιωπήκαμεν ἐναντίον σου;
  For why have we been silent before you like brutes?
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?
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.
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.
θηρεύσαισαν ἐλάχιστοι τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ,
σφάλαι δὲ αὐτοῦ ἡ βουλή.
  Let the meanest of men spoil his goods,
and let his counsel deceive [him].
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.
ἔλθοισαν δὲ ἐπ' αὐτὸν παγίδες·
κατισχύσει ἐπ' αὐτὸν διψῶντας.
  And let snares come upon him:
he shall strengthen those that thirst for his destruction.
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.
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,
πτῶμα δὲ αὐτῷ ἡτοίμασται ἐξαίσιον.
  [vex him] with distressing hunger:
and a signal destruction has been prepared for him.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
ἀπώσειεν αὐτὸν ἐκ φωτὸς εἰς σκότος.
  Let [one] drive him from light into darkness.
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.
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.
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.
