11ΙΩΒBrenton(Lxx)JOB Revised Standard VersionJOB 11

1Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Σωφαρ ὁ Μιναῖος λέγει
Then Sophar the Minaean answered and said,
Zophar. Jb.11.1-20Then Zophar the Na'amathite answered:וַיַּעַן צֹפַר הַנַּעֲמָתִי וַיֹּאמַר׃ 1
2Ὁ 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.
 "Should a multitude of words go unanswered,
and a man full of talk be vindicated?
הֲרֹב דְּבָרִים לֹא יֵעָנֶה וְאִם־אִישׁ שְׂפָתַיִם יִצְדָּק׃ 2
3μὴ πολὺς ἐν ῥήμασιν γίνου,
οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἀντικρινόμενός σοι.
Be not a speaker of many words;
for is there none to answer you?
 Should your babble silence men,
and when you mock, shall no one shame you?
בַּדֶּיךָ מְתִים יַחֲרִישׁו וַתִּלְעַג וְאֵין מַכְלִם׃ 3
4μὴ γὰρ λέγε ὅτι Καθαρός εἰμι τοῖς ἔργοις
καὶ ἄμεμπτος ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ.
For say not, I am pure in my works,
and blameless before him.
 For you say, 'My doctrine is pure,
and I am clean in God's eyes.'
וַתֹּאמֶר זַךְ לִקְחִי וּבַר הָיִיתִי בְעֵינֶיךָ׃ 4
5ἀλλὰ 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!
 But oh, that God would speak,
and open his lips to you,
וְאוּלָם מִי־יִתֵּן אֱלֹוהַּ דַּבֵּר וְיִפְתַּח שְׂפָתָיו עִמָּךְ׃ 5
6εἶτα 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.
 and that he would tell you the secrets of wisdom!
For he is manifold in understanding.
Know then that God exacts of you less than your guilt deserves.
וְיַגֶּד־לְכָ תַּעֲלֻמֹות חָכְמָה כִּי־כִפְלַיִם לְתוּשִׁיָּה
וְדַע כִּי־יַשֶּׁה לְךָ אֱלֹוהַ מֵעֲוֹנֶךָ׃
6
7ἦ 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?
 "Can you find out the deep things of God?
Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?
הַחֵקֶר אֱלֹוהַ תִּמְצָא אִם עַד־תַּכְלִית שַׁדַּי תִּמְצָא׃ 7
8ὑψηλὸς 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?
 It is higher than heaven - what can you do?
Deeper than Sheol - what can you know?
גָּבְהֵי שָׁמַיִם מַה־תִּפְעָל עֲמֻקָּה מִשְּׁאֹול מַה־תֵּדָע׃ 8
9ἢ μακρότερα μέτρου γῆς ἢ εὔρους θαλάσσης;
Or longer than the measure of the earth,
or the breadth of the sea.
 Its measure is longer than the earth,
and broader than the sea.
אֲרֻכָּה מֵאֶרֶץ מִדָּהּ וּרְחָבָה מִנִּי־יָם׃ 9
10ἐὰν 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?
 If he passes through, and imprisons, and calls to judgment,
who can hinder him?
אִם־יַחֲלֹף וְיַסְגִּיר וְיַקְהִיל וּמִי יְשִׁיבֶנּוּ׃ 10
11αὐτὸς 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].
 For he knows worthless men;
when he sees iniquity, will he not consider it?
כִּי־הוּא יָדַע מְתֵי־שָׁוְא וַיַּרְא־אָוֶן וְלֹא יִתְבֹּוןָן׃ 11
12ἄνθρωπος 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.
 But a stupid man will get understanding,
when a wild ass's colt is born a man.
וְאִישׁ נָבוּב יִלָּבֵב וְעַיִר פֶּרֶא אָדָם יִוָּלֵד׃ 12
13εἰ 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;
 "If you set your heart aright,
you will stretch out your hands toward him.
אִם־אַתָּה הֲכִינֹותָ לִבֶּךָ וּפָרַשְׂתָּ אֵלָיו כַּפֶּךָ׃ 13
14εἰ 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.
 If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away,
and let not wickedness dwell in your tents.
אִם־אָוֶן בְּיָדְךָ הַרְחִיקֵהוּ וְאַל־תַּשְׁכֵּן בְּאֹהָלֶיךָ עַוְלָה׃ 14
15οὕτως 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.
 Surely then you will lift up your face without blemish;
you will be secure, and will not fear.
כִּי־אָז תִּשָּׂא פָנֶיךָ מִמּוּם וְהָיִיתָ מֻצָק וְלֹא תִירָא׃ 15
16καὶ 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.
 You will forget your misery;
you will remember it as waters that have passed away.
כִּי־אַתָּה עָמָל תִּשְׁכָּח כְּמַיִם עָבְרוּ תִזְכֹּר׃ 16
17ἡ 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.
 And your life will be brighter than the noonday;
its darkness will be like the morning.
וּמִצָּהֳרַיִם יָקוּם חָלֶד תָּעֻפָה כַּבֹּקֶר תִּהְיֶה׃ 17
18πεποιθώς 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.
 And you will have confidence, because there is hope;
you will be protected and take your rest in safety.
וּבָטַחְתָּ כִּי־יֵשׁ תִּקְוָה וְחָפַרְתָּ לָבֶטַח תִּשְׁכָּב׃ 18
19ἡσυχάσεις 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.
 You will lie down, and none will make you afraid;
many will entreat your favor.
וְרָבַצְתָּ וְאֵין מַחֲרִיד וְחִלּוּ פָנֶיךָ רַבִּים׃ 19
20σωτηρία 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.
 But the eyes of the wicked will fail;
all way of escape will be lost to them,
and their hope is to breathe their last."
וְעֵינֵי רְשָׁעִים תִּכְלֶינָה
וּמָנֹוס אָבַד מִנְהֶם וְתִקְוָתָם מַפַּח־נָפֶשׁ׃ ף
