| Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Βαλδαδ ὁ Σαυχίτης λέγει | Bildad. Jb.25.1-6Bildad. Jb.25.1-6 | Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said, | |
| Τί γὰρ προοίμιον ἢ φόβος παρ' αὐτοῦ, ὁ ποιῶν τὴν σύμπασαν ἐν ὑψίστῳ; | What beginning or fear is his -- even he that makes all things in the highest? | ||
| μὴ γάρ τις ὑπολάβοι ὅτι ἔστιν παρέλκυσις πειραταῖς; ἐπὶ τίνας δὲ οὐκ ἐπελεύσεται ἔνεδρα παρ' αὐτοῦ; | For let none think that there is a respite for robbers: and upon whom will there not come a snare from him? | ||
| πῶς γὰρ ἔσται δίκαιος βροτὸς ἔναντι κυρίου; ἢ τίς ἂν ἀποκαθαρίσαι ἑαυτὸν γεννητὸς γυναικός; | For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord? or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself? | ||
| εἰ σελήνῃ συντάσσει, καὶ οὐκ ἐπιφαύσκει· ἄστρα δὲ οὐ καθαρὰ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ. | If he gives an order to the moon, then it shines not; and the stars are not pure before him. | ||
| ἔα δέ, ἄνθρωπος σαπρία καὶ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου σκώληξ. | But alas! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm. | ||
