| Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῷ Ιωβ καὶ εἶπεν | The LORD. Jb.40:1The LORD. Jb.40:1 | And the Lord God answered Job, and said, | |
| Μὴ κρίσιν μετὰ ἱκανοῦ ἐκκλινεῖ; ἐλέγχων θεὸν ἀποκριθήσεται αὐτήν; | Will [any one] pervert judgment with the Mighty One? and he that reproves God, let him return it for answer. | ||
| Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ιωβ λέγει τῷ κυρίῳ | Job. Jb.40.3-6Job. Jb.40.3-6 | And Job answered and said to the Lord, | |
| Τί ἔτι ἐγὼ κρίνομαι νουθετούμενος καὶ ἐλέγχων Κύριον, ἀκούων τοιαῦτα οὐθὲν ὤν; ἐγὼ δὲ τίνα ἀπόκρισιν δῶ πρὸς ταῦτα; χεῖρα θήσω ἐπὶ στόματί μου· | Why do I yet plead? being rebuked even while reproving the Lord: hearing such things, whereas I am nothing: and what shall I answer to these [arguments]? I will lay my hand upon my mouth. | ||
| ἅπαξ λελάληκα, ἐπὶ δὲ τῷ δευτέρῳ οὐ προσθήσω. | I have spoken once; but I will not do so a second time. | ||
| Ἔτι δὲ ὑπολαβὼν ὁ κύριος εἶπεν τῷ Ιωβ ἐκ τοῦ νέφους | The LORD. Jb.40.6-41.34The LORD. Jb.40.6-41.34 | And the Lord yet again answered and spoke to Job out of the cloud, [saying], | |
| Μή, ἀλλὰ ζῶσαι ὥσπερ ἀνὴρ τὴν ὀσφύν σου, ἐρωτήσω δέ σε, σὺ δέ μοι ἀποκρίθητι· | Nay, gird up now your loins like a man; and I will ask you, and you shall answer me. | ||
| μὴ ἀποποιοῦ μου τὸ κρίμα. οἴει δέ με ἄλλως σοι κεχρηματικέναι ἢ ἵνα ἀναφανῇς δίκαιος; | Do not set aside my judgment: and do you think that I have dealt with you in any other way, than that you might appear to be righteous? | ||
| ἦ βραχίων σοί ἐστιν κατὰ τοῦ κυρίου, ἢ φωνῇ κατ' αὐτὸν βροντᾷς; | Have you an arm like the Lord's? or do you thunder with a voice like his? | ||
| ἀνάλαβε δὴ ὕψος καὶ δύναμιν, δόξαν δὲ καὶ τιμὴν ἀμφίεσαι· | Assume now a lofty bearing and power; and clothe yourself with glory and honour. | ||
| ἀπόστειλον δὲ ἀγγέλους ὀργῇ, πᾶν δὲ ὑβριστὴν ταπείνωσον, | And send forth messengers with wrath; and lay low every haughty one. | ||
| ὑπερήφανον δὲ σβέσον, σῆψον δὲ ἀσεβεῖς παραχρῆμα, | Bring down also the proud man; and consume at once the ungodly. | ||
| κρύψον δὲ εἰς γῆν ἔξω ὁμοθυμαδόν, τὰ δὲ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ἀτιμίας ἔμπλησον· | And hide them together in the earth; and fill their faces with shame. | ||
| ὁμολογήσω ἄρα ὅτι δύναται ἡ δεξιά σου σῶσαι. - | [Then] will I confess that your right hand can save [you]. | ||
| ἀλλὰ δὴ ἰδοὺ θηρία παρὰ σοί, χόρτον ἴσα βουσὶν ἐσθίει. | But now look at the wild beasts with you; they eat grass like oxen. | ||
| ἰδοὺ δὴ ἰσχὺς αὐτοῦ ἐπ' ὀσφύι, ἡ δὲ δύναμις ἐπ' ὀμφαλοῦ γαστρός· | Behold now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. | ||
| ἔστησεν οὐρὰν ὡς κυπάρισσον, τὰ δὲ νεῦρα αὐτοῦ συμπέπλεκται· | He sets up his tail like a cypress; and his nerves are wrapped together. | ||
| αἱ πλευραὶ αὐτοῦ πλευραὶ χάλκειαι, ἡ δὲ ῥάχις αὐτοῦ σίδηρος χυτός. | His sides are sides of brass; and his backbone is [as] cast iron. | ||
| τοῦτ' ἔστιν ἀρχὴ πλάσματος κυρίου, πεποιημένον ἐγκαταπαίζεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ. | This is the chief of the creation of the Lord; made to be played with by his angels. | ||
| ἐπελθὼν δὲ ἐπ' ὄρος ἀκρότομον ἐποίησεν χαρμονὴν τετράποσιν ἐν τῷ ταρτάρῳ· | And when he has gone up to a steep mountain, he causes joy to the quadrupeds in the deep. | ||
| ὑπὸ παντοδαπὰ δένδρα κοιμᾶται, παρὰ πάπυρον καὶ κάλαμον καὶ βούτομον· | He lies under trees of every kind, by the papyrus, and reed, and bulrush. | ||
| σκιάζονται δὲ ἐν αὐτῷ δένδρα μεγάλα σὺν ῥαδάμνοις καὶ κλῶνες ἄγνου. | And the great trees make a shadow over him with their branches, and [so do] the bushes of the field. | ||
| ἐὰν γένηται πλήμμυρα, οὐ μὴ αἰσθηθῇ, πέποιθεν ὅτι προσκρούσει ὁ Ιορδάνης εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ. | If there should be a flood, he will not perceive it; he trust that Jordan will rush up into his mouth. | ||
| ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ αὐτοῦ δέξεται αὐτόν, ἐνσκολιευόμενος τρήσει ῥῖνα; - | [Yet one] shall take him in his sight; [one] shall catch [him] with a cord, and pierce his nose. | ||
