15ΙΩΒBrenton(Lxx)JOB Revised Standard VersionJOB 15
1Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ελιφας ὁ Θαιμανίτης λέγει
 Then Eliphaz the Thaemanite answered and said,
THE SECOND DIALOGUE. Jb.15.1-21.34. Eliphaz. Jb.15.1-35Then Eli'phaz the Te'manite answered:וַיַּעַן אֱלִיפַז הַתֵּימָנִי וַיֹּאמַר׃ 1
2Πότερον σοφὸς ἀπόκρισιν δώσει συνέσεως,
πνεύματος καὶ ἐνέπλησεν πόνον γαστρὸς
 Will a wise man give for answer a [mere] breath of wisdom?
and does he fill up the pain of his belly,
 "Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge,
and fill himself with the east wind?
הֶחָכָם יַעֲנֶה דַעַת־רוּחַ וִימַלֵּא קָדִים בִּטְנֹו׃ 2
3ἐλέγχων ἐν ῥήμασιν, οἷς οὐ δεῖ,
ἐν λόγοις, οἷς οὐδὲν ὄφελος;
 reasoning with improper sayings,
and with words wherein is no profit?
 Should he argue in unprofitable talk,
or in words with which he can do no good?
הֹוכֵחַ בְּדָבָר לֹא יִסְכֹּון וּמִלִּים לֹא־יֹועִיל בָּם׃ 3
4οὐ καὶ σὺ ἀπεποιήσω φόβον,
συνετελέσω δὲ ῥήματα τοιαῦτα ἔναντι τοῦ κυρίου;
 Moreover have not you cast off fear,
and accomplished such words before the Lord?
 But you are doing away with the fear of God,
and hindering meditation before God.
אַף־אַתָּה תָּפֵר יִרְאָה וְתִגְרַע שִׂיחָה לִפְנֵי־אֵל׃ 4
5ἔνοχος εἶ ῥήμασιν στόματός σου,
οὐδὲ διέκρινας ῥήματα δυναστῶν·
 You are guilty by the words of your mouth,
neither have you discerned the words of the mighty.
 For your iniquity teaches your mouth,
and you choose the tongue of the crafty.
כִּי יְאַלֵּף עֲוֹנְךָ פִיךָ וְתִבְחַר לְשֹׁון עֲרוּמִים׃ 5
6ἐλέγξαι σε τὸ σὸν στόμα καὶ μὴ ἐγώ,
τὰ δὲ χείλη σου καταμαρτυρήσουσίν σου.
 Let your own mouth, and not me, reprove you:
and your lips shall testify against you.
 Your own mouth condemns you, and not I;
your own lips testify against you.
יַרְשִׁיעֲךָ פִיךָ וְלֹא־אָנִי וּשְׂפָתֶיךָ יַעֲנוּ־בָךְ׃ 6
7τί γάρ; μὴ πρῶτος ἀνθρώπων ἐγενήθης;
ἢ πρὸ θινῶν ἐπάγης;
 What! are you the first man that was born?
or was you established before the hills?
 "Are you the first man that was born?
Or were you brought forth before the hills?
הֲרִאישֹׁון אָדָם תִּוָּלֵד וְלִפְנֵי גְבָעֹות חֹולָלְתָּ׃ 7
8ἦ σύνταγμα κυρίου ἀκήκοας,
εἰς δὲ σὲ ἀφίκετο σοφία;
 Or have you heard the ordinance of the Lord?
or has God used you as [his] counsellor?
and has wisdom come [only] to you?
 Have you listened in the council of God?
And do you limit wisdom to yourself?
הַבְסֹוד אֱלֹוהַ תִּשְׁמָע וְתִגְרַע אֵלֶיךָ חָכְמָה׃ 8
9τί γὰρ οἶδας, ὃ οὐκ οἴδαμεν;
ἢ τί συνίεις, ὃ οὐχὶ καὶ ἡμεῖς;
 For what do you know, that, we do not?
or what do you understand, that we do not also?
 What do you know that we do not know?
What do you understand that is not clear to us?
מַה־יָּדַעְתָּ וְלֹא נֵדָע תָּבִין וְלֹא־עִמָּנוּ הוּא׃ 9
10καί γε πρεσβύτης καί γε παλαιὸς ἐν ἡμῖν βαρύτερος τοῦ πατρός σου ἡμέραις.
 Truly among us [are] both the old and very aged man,
more advanced in days than your father.
 Both the gray-haired and the aged are among us,
older than your father.
גַּם־שָׂב גַּם־יָשִׁישׁ בָּנוּ כַּבִּיר מֵאָבִיךָ יָמִים׃ 10
11ὀλίγα ὧν ἡμάρτηκας μεμαστίγωσαι,
μεγάλως ὑπερβαλλόντως λελάληκας.
 You have been scourged for [but] few of your sins:
you have spoken haughtily [and] extravagantly.
 Are the consolations of God too small for you,
or the word that deals gently with you?
הַמְעַט מִמְּךָ תַּנְחֻמֹות אֵל וְדָבָר לָאַט עִמָּךְ׃ 11
12τί ἐτόλμησεν ἡ καρδία σου,
ἢ τί ἐπήνεγκαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου,
 What has your heart dared?
or what have your eyes [aimed at],
 Why does your heart carry you away,
and why do your eyes flash,
מַה־יִּקָּחֲךָ לִבֶּךָ וּמַה־יִּרְזְמוּן עֵינֶיךָ׃ 12
13ὅτι θυμὸν ἔρρηξας ἔναντι κυρίου,
ἐξήγαγες δὲ ἐκ στόματος ῥήματα τοιαῦτα;
 that you have vented [your] rage before the Lord,
and delivered such words from [your] mouth?
 that you turn your spirit against God,
and let such words go out of your mouth?
כִּי־תָשִׁיב אֶל־אֵל רוּחֶךָ וְהֹצֵאתָ מִפִּיךָ מִלִּין׃ 13
14τίς γὰρ ὢν βροτός, ὅτι ἔσται ἄμεμπτος,
ἢ ὡς ἐσόμενος δίκαιος γεννητὸς γυναικός;
 For who, being a mortal, [is such] that he shall be blameless?
or, [who that is] born of a woman, that he should be just?
 What is man, that he can be clean?
Or he that is born of a woman, that he can be righteous?
מָה־אֱנֹושׁ כִּי־יִזְכֶּה וְכִי־יִצְדַּק יְלוּד אִשָּׁה׃ 14
15εἰ κατὰ ἁγίων οὐ πιστεύει,
οὐρανὸς δὲ οὐ καθαρὸς ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ.
 Forasmuch as he trusts not his saints;
and the heaven is not pure before him.
 Behold, God puts no trust in his holy ones,
and the heavens are not clean in his sight;
הֵן [כ= בִּקְדֹשֹׁו] [ק= בִּקְדֹשָׁיו] לֹא יַאֲמִין וְשָׁמַיִם לֹא־זַכּוּ בְעֵינָיו׃ 15
16ἔα δὲ ἐβδελυγμένος καὶ ἀκάθαρτος,
ἀνὴρ πίνων ἀδικίας ἴσα ποτῷ.
 Alas then, abominable and unclean is man,
drinking unrighteousness as a draught.
 how much less one who is abominable and corrupt,
a man who drinks iniquity like water!
אַף כִּי־נִתְעָב וְנֶאֱלָח אִישׁ־שֹׁתֶה כַמַּיִם עַוְלָה׃ 16
17ἀναγγελῶ δέ σοι, ἄκουέ μου·
ἃ δὴ ἑώρακα, ἀναγγελῶ σοι,
 But I will tell you, listen to me;
I will tell you now what I have seen;
 "I will show you, hear me;
and what I have seen I will declare
אֲחַוְכָ שְׁמַע־לִי וְזֶה־חָזִיתִי וַאֲסַפֵּרָה׃ 17
18ἃ σοφοὶ ἐροῦσιν καὶ οὐκ ἔκρυψαν πατέρας αὐτῶν·
 things wise men say,
and their fathers have not hidden.
 (what wise men have told,
and their fathers have not hidden,
אֲשֶׁר־חֲכָמִים יַגִּידוּ וְלֹא כִחֲדוּ מֵאֲבֹותָם׃ 18
19αὐτοῖς μόνοις ἐδόθη ἡ γῆ,
καὶ οὐκ ἐπῆλθεν ἀλλογενὴς ἐπ' αὐτούς.
 To them alone the earth was given,
and no stranger came upon them.
 to whom alone the land was given,
and no stranger passed among them).
לָהֶם לְבַדָּם נִתְּנָה הָאָרֶץ וְלֹא־עָבַר זָר בְּתֹוכָם׃ 19
20πᾶς ὁ βίος ἀσεβοῦς ἐν φροντίδι,
ἔτη δὲ ἀριθμητὰ δεδομένα δυνάστῃ,
 All the life of the ungodly [is spent] in care,
and the years granted to the oppressor are numbered.
 The wicked man writhes in pain all his days,
through all the years that are laid up for the ruthless.
כָּל־יְמֵי רָשָׁע הוּא מִתְחֹולֵל וּמִסְפַּר שָׁנִים נִצְפְּנוּ לֶעָרִיץ׃ 20
21ὁ δὲ φόβος αὐτοῦ ἐν ὠσὶν αὐτοῦ·
ὅταν δοκῇ ἤδη εἰρηνεύειν, ἥξει αὐτοῦ ἡ καταστροφή.
 And his terror is in his ears:
just when he seems to be at peace,
his overthrow will come.
 Terrifying sounds are in his ears;
in prosperity the destroyer will come upon him.
קֹול־פְּחָדִים בְּאָזְנָיו בַּשָּׁלֹום שֹׁודֵד יְבֹואֶנּוּ׃ 21
22μὴ πιστευέτω ἀποστραφῆναι ἀπὸ σκότους·
ἐντέταλται γὰρ ἤδη εἰς χεῖρας σιδήρου,
 Let him not trust that he shall return from darkness,
for he has been already made over to the power of the sword.
 He does not believe that he will return out of darkness,
and he is destined for the sword.
לֹא־יַאֲמִין שׁוּב מִנִּי־חֹשֶׁךְ [כ= וְצָפוּ] [ק= וְצָפוּי] הוּא אֱלֵי־חָרֶב׃ 22
23κατατέτακται δὲ εἰς σῖτα γυψίν·
οἶδεν δὲ ἐν ἑαυτῷ ὅτι μένει εἰς πτῶμα.
ἡμέρα δὲ αὐτὸν σκοτεινὴ στροβήσει,
 And he has been appointed to be food for vultures;
and he knows within himself that he is doomed to be a carcass:
and a dark day shall carry him away as with a whirlwind.
 He wanders abroad for bread, saying, 'Where is it?'
He knows that a day of darkness is ready at his hand;
נֹדֵד הוּא לַלֶּחֶם אַיֵּה יָדַע כִּי־נָכֹון בְּיָדֹו יֹום־חֹשֶׁךְ׃ 23
24ἀνάγκη δὲ καὶ θλῖψις αὐτὸν καθέξει
ὥσπερ στρατηγὸς πρωτοστάτης πίπτων.
 Distress also and anguish shall come upon him:
he shall fall as a captain in the first rank.
 distress and anguish terrify him;
they prevail against him,
like a king prepared for battle.
יְבַעֲתֻהוּ צַר וּמְצוּקָה תִּתְקְפֵהוּ כְּמֶלֶךְ עָתִיד לַכִּידֹור׃ 24
25ὅτι ἦρκεν χεῖρας ἐναντίον τοῦ κυρίου,
ἔναντι δὲ κυρίου παντοκράτορος ἐτραχηλίασεν,
 For he has lifted his hands against the Lord,
and he has hardened his neck against the Almighty Lord.
 Because he has stretched forth his hand against God,
and bids defiance to the Almighty,
כִּי־נָטָה אֶל־אֵל יָדֹו וְאֶל־שַׁדַּי יִתְגַּבָּר׃ 25
26ἔδραμεν δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ὕβρει,
ἐν πάχει νώτου ἀσπίδος αὐτοῦ,
 And he has run against him with insolence,
on the thickness of the back of his shield.
 running stubbornly against him
with a thick-bossed shield;
יָרוּץ אֵלָיו בְּצַוָּאר בַּעֲבִי גַּבֵּי מָגִנָּיו׃ 26
2713ὅτι ἐκάλυψεν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐν στέατι αὐτοῦ·
καὶ ἐποίησεν περιστόμιον ἐπὶ τῶν μηρίων.
 For he has covered his face with his fat,
and made layers of fat upon his thighs.
 because he has covered his face with his fat,
and gathered fat upon his loins,
כִּי־כִסָּה פָנָיו בְּחֶלְבֹּו וַיַּעַשׂ פִּימָה עֲלֵי־כָסֶל׃ 27
28αὐλισθείη δὲ πόλεις ἐρήμους,
εἰσέλθοι δὲ εἰς οἴκους ἀοικήτους·
ἃ δὲ ἐκεῖνοι ἡτοίμασαν, ἄλλοι ἀποίσονται.
 And let him lodge in desolate cities,
and enter into houses without inhabitant:
and what they have prepared,
others shall carry away.
 and has lived in desolate cities,
in houses which no man should inhabit,
which were destined to become heaps of ruins;
וַיִּשְׁכֹּון עָרִים נִכְחָדֹות בָּתִּים לֹא־יֵשְׁבוּ לָמֹו
אֲשֶׁר הִתְעַתְּדוּ לְגַלִּים׃ 		28
29οὔτε μὴ πλουτισθῇ, οὔτε μὴ μείνῃ αὐτοῦ τὰ ὑπάρχοντα·
οὐ μὴ βάλῃ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν σκιὰν
 Neither shall he at all grow rich,
nor shall his substance remain:
he shall not cast a shadow upon the earth.
 he will not be rich, and his wealth will not endure,
nor will he strike root in the earth;
לֹא־יֶעְשַׁר וְלֹא־יָקוּם חֵילֹו וְלֹא־יִטֶּה לָאָרֶץ מִנְלָם׃ 29
30οὐδὲ μὴ ἐκφύγῃ τὸ σκότος·
τὸν βλαστὸν αὐτοῦ μαράναι ἄνεμος,
ἐκπέσοι δὲ αὐτοῦ τὸ ἄνθος.
 Neither shall he in any wise escape the darkness:
let the wind blast his blossom,
and let his flower fall off.
 he will not escape from darkness;
the flame will dry up his shoots,
and his blossom will be swept away by the wind.
לֹא־יָסוּר מִנִּי־חֹשֶׁךְ יֹנַקְתֹּו תְּיַבֵּשׁ שַׁלְהָבֶת וְיָסוּר בְּרוּחַ פִּיו׃ 30
31μὴ πιστευέτω ὅτι ὑπομενεῖ,
κενὰ γὰρ ἀποβήσεται αὐτῷ·
 Let him not think that he shall endure;
for his end shall be vanity.
 Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself;
for emptiness will be his recompense.
אַל־יַאֲמֵן [כ= בַּשֹּׁו] [ק= בַּשָּׁיו] נִתְעָה כִּי־שָׁוְא תִּהְיֶה תְמוּרָתֹו׃ 31
32ἡ τομὴ αὐτοῦ πρὸ ὥρας φθαρήσεται,
καὶ ὁ ῥάδαμνος αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ πυκάσῃ·
 His harvest shall perish before the time,
and his branch shall not flourish.
 It will be paid in full before his time,
and his branch will not be green.
בְּלֹא־יֹומֹו תִּמָּלֵא וְכִפָּתֹו לֹא רַעֲנָנָה׃ 32
33τρυγηθείη δὲ ὥσπερ ὄμφαξ πρὸ ὥρας,
ἐκπέσοι δὲ ὡς ἄνθος ἐλαίας.
 And let him be gathered as the unripe grape before the time,
and let him fall as the blossom of the olive.
 He will shake off his unripe grape, like the vine,
and cast off his blossom, like the olive tree.
יַחְמֹס כַּגֶּפֶן בִּסְרֹו וְיַשְׁלֵךְ כַּזַּיִת נִצָּתֹו׃ 33
34μαρτύριον γὰρ ἀσεβοῦς θάνατος,
πῦρ δὲ καύσει οἴκους δωροδεκτῶν.
 For death is the witness of an ungodly man,
and fire shall burn the houses of them that receive gifts.
 For the company of the godless is barren,
and fire consumes the tents of bribery.
כִּי־עֲדַת חָנֵף גַּלְמוּד וְאֵשׁ אָכְלָה אָהֳלֵי־שֹׁחַד׃ 34
35ἐν γαστρὶ δὲ λήμψεται ὀδύνας,
ἀποβήσεται δὲ αὐτῷ κενά,
ἡ δὲ κοιλία αὐτοῦ ὑποίσει δόλον.
 And he shall conceive sorrows,
and his end shall be vanity,
and his belly shall bear deceit.
 They conceive mischief and bring forth evil
and their heart prepares deceit."		הָרֹה עָמָל וְיָלֹד אָוֶן וּבִטְנָם תָּכִין מִרְמָה׃ ס 35
