Job. Jb.19.1-29Then Job answered:וַיַּעַן אִיֹּוב וַיֹּאמַר׃ 1
2Ἕως τίνος ἔγκοπον ποιήσετε ψυχήν μου,
καὶ καθαιρεῖτε με λόγοις;
 How long will you vex my soul, and destroy me with words?
only know that the Lord has dealt with me thus.
 "How long will you torment me,
and break me in pieces with words?

3γνῶτε μόνον ὅτι ὁ κύριος ἐποίησέ με οὕτως·
καταλαλεῖτέ μου, οὐκ αἰσχυνόμενοί με ἐπίκεισθέ μοι.

you do not feel for me, but bear hard upon me.

παρ' ἐμοὶ δὲ αὐλίζεται πλάνος

(but the error abides with myself)
 And even if it be true that I have erred,
my error remains with myself.

τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 which our soul longs for: my spirit seeks you very early in the morning, O God,
for your commandments are a light on the earth:
learn righteousness, you that dwell upon the earth.		 
4aλαλῆσαι ῥῆμα, ὃ οὐκ ἔδει,
τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 For the ungodly one is put down:
no one who will not learn righteousness on the earth, shall be able to do the truth:

τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 And I will forsake my vineyard; and it shall not be pruned, nor dug,

and I will command the clouds to rain no rain upon it.		 
4aλαλῆσαι ῥῆμα, ὃ οὐκ ἔδει,
τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel,
and the men of Juda [his] beloved plant:
I expected [it] to bring forth judgement, and it brought forth iniquity;
and not righteousness, but a cry.		 
4aλαλῆσαι ῥῆμα, ὃ οὐκ ἔδει,
τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 What shall I do any more to my vineyard, that I have not done to it?

and I waited [for it] to bring forth grapes, and it brought forth thorns.		 
4aλαλῆσαι ῥῆμα, ὃ οὐκ ἔδει,

 The Lord will weaken his adversary;
the Lord [is] holy.
Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom,
nor let the mighty man boast in his strength,
and let not the rich man boast in his wealth;
but let him that boasts boast in this,
to understand and know the Lord,
and to execute judgement and justice in the midst of the earth.
The Lord has gone up to the heavens, and has thundered:
he will judge the extremities of the earth,
and he gives strength to our kings,
and will exalt the horn of his Christ.
And she left him there before the Lord,		 
4aλαλῆσαι ῥῆμα, ὃ οὐκ ἔδει,
τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 granting his petition to him that prays;
and he blesses the years of the righteous,

τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 He lifts up the poor from the earth,
and raises the needy from the dunghill;

τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.

 The Lord kills and makes alive;

τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 Boast not, and utter not high things;
let not high-sounding words come out of your mouth,
for the Lord [is] a God of knowledge,
and God prepares his own designs.

τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.

I have rejoiced in your salvation.

 For there is none holy as the Lord,
and there is none righteous as our God;
there is none holy besides you.

4aλαλῆσαι ῥῆμα, ὃ οὐκ ἔδει,
τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 and I shall praise your name forever, 
4aλαλῆσαι ῥῆμα, ὃ οὐκ ἔδει,
τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 and to the centuries of centuries. 
4aλαλῆσαι ῥῆμα, ὃ οὐκ ἔδει,
τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 Grant, O Lord, that in this night 
4aλαλῆσαι ῥῆμα, ὃ οὐκ ἔδει,
τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 we may be kept without sin. 
4aλαλῆσαι ῥῆμα, ὃ οὐκ ἔδει,
τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of our Fathers, 
4aλαλῆσαι ῥῆμα, ὃ οὐκ ἔδει,
τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 and praised and glorified is your name to the ages. Amen. 
4aλαλῆσαι ῥῆμα, ὃ οὐκ ἔδει,
τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 Blessed are you, O Lord, teach me your rules of life. 
4aλαλῆσαι ῥῆμα, ὃ οὐκ ἔδει,
τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 Blessed are you, O Lord, teach me your rules of life. 
4aλαλῆσαι ῥῆμα, ὃ οὐκ ἔδει,
τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 Blessed are you, O Lord, teach me your rules of life. 
4aλαλῆσαι ῥῆμα, ὃ οὐκ ἔδει,
τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 Lord, you have become for us a refuge from generation to generation. 
4aλαλῆσαι ῥῆμα, ὃ οὐκ ἔδει,
τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 I have said: Lord, have mercy on me, 
4aλαλῆσαι ῥῆμα, ὃ οὐκ ἔδει,
τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 heal my soul for I have sinned against you. 
4aλαλῆσαι ῥῆμα, ὃ οὐκ ἔδει,
τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 Lord, to you I have fled; 
4aλαλῆσαι ῥῆμα, ὃ οὐκ ἔδει,
τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 teach me to do your will for you are my God. 
4aλαλῆσαι ῥῆμα, ὃ οὐκ ἔδει,
τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 For with you is the fountain of life;. 
4aλαλῆσαι ῥῆμα, ὃ οὐκ ἔδει,
τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 in your light we shall see light. 
4aλαλῆσαι ῥῆμα, ὃ οὐκ ἔδει,
τὰ δὲ ῥήματά μου πλανᾶται καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ καιροῦ.
 Extend your mercy to those who know you. 
5ἔα δὲ ὅτι ἐπ' ἐμοὶ μεγαλύνεσθε,
ἐνάλλεσθε δέ μοι ὀνείδει.
 But alas! for you magnify yourselves against me,
and insult me with reproach.
 If indeed you magnify yourselves against me,
and make my humiliation an argument against me,
אִם־אָמְנָם עָלַי תַּגְדִּילוּ וְתֹוכִיחוּ עָלַי חֶרְפָּתִּי׃ 5
6γνῶτε οὖν ὅτι ὁ κύριός ἐστιν ὁ ταράξας,
ὀχύρωμα δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπ' ἐμὲ ὕψωσεν.
 Know then that it is the Lord that has troubled [me],
and has raised his bulwark against me.
 know then that God has put me in the wrong,
and closed his net about me.
דְּעוּ־אֵפֹו כִּי־אֱלֹוהַּ עִוְּתָנִי וּמְצוּדֹו עָלַי הִקִּיף׃ 6
7ἰδοὺ γελῶ ὀνείδει καὶ οὐ λαλήσω·
κεκράξομαι, καὶ οὐδαμοῦ κρίμα.
 Behold, I laugh at reproach;
I will not speak: [or] I will cry out,
but [there is] nowhere judgment.
 Behold, I cry out, 'Violence!' but I am not answered;
I call aloud, but there is no justice.
הֵן אֶצְעַק חָמָס וְלֹא אֵעָנֶה אֲשַׁוַּע וְאֵין מִשְׁפָּט׃ 7
8κύκλῳ περιῳκοδόμημαι καὶ οὐ μὴ διαβῶ,
ἐπὶ πρόσωπόν μου σκότος ἔθετο.
 I am fenced round about, and can by no means escape:
he has set darkness before my face.
 He has walled up my way, so that I cannot pass,
and he has set darkness upon my paths.
אָרְחִי גָדַר וְלֹא אֶעֱבֹור וְעַל נְתִיבֹותַי חֹשֶׁךְ יָשִׂים׃ 8
9τὴν δὲ δόξαν ἀπ' ἐμοῦ ἐξέδυσεν,
ἀφεῖλεν δὲ στέφανον ἀπὸ κεφαλῆς μου.
 And he has stripped me of my glory,
and has taken the crown from my head.
 He has stripped from me my glory,
and taken the crown from my head.
כְּבֹודִי מֵעָלַי הִפְשִׁיט וַיָּסַר עֲטֶרֶת רֹאשִׁי׃ 9
10διέσπασέν με κύκλῳ, καὶ ᾠχόμην·
ἐξέκοψεν δὲ ὥσπερ δένδρον τὴν ἐλπίδα μου.
 He has torn me around about, and I am gone:
and he has cut off my hope like a tree.
 He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone,
and my hope has he pulled up like a tree.
יִתְּצֵנִי סָבִיב וָאֵלַךְ וַיַּסַּע כָּעֵץ תִּקְוָתִי׃ 10
11δεινῶς δέ μοι ὀργῇ ἐχρήσατο,
ἡγήσατο δέ με ὥσπερ ἐχθρόν.
 And he has dreadfully handled me in anger,
and has counted me for an enemy.
 He has kindled his wrath against me,
and counts me as his adversary.
וַיַּחַר עָלַי אַפֹּו וַיַּחְשְׁבֵנִי לֹו כְצָרָיו׃ 11
12ὁμοθυμαδὸν δὲ ἦλθον τὰ πειρατήρια αὐτοῦ ἐπ' ἐμοὶ,
ταῖς ὁδοῖς μου, ἐκύκλωσάν με ἐγκάθετοι.
 His troops also came upon me with one accord,
liars in wait compassed my ways.
 His troops come on together;
they have cast up siegeworks against me,
and encamp round about my tent.
יַחַד יָבֹאוּ גְדוּדָיו וַיָּסֹלּוּ עָלַי דַּרְכָּם וַיַּחֲנוּ סָבִיב לְאָהֳלִי׃ 12
13ἀπ' ἐμοῦ δὲ ἀδελφοί μου ἀπέστησαν,
ἔγνωσαν ἀλλοτρίους ἢ ἐμέ·
φίλοι δέ μου ἀνελεήμονες γεγόνασιν.
 My brethren have stood aloof from me;
they have recognized strangers [rather] than me:
and my friends have become pitiless.
 "He has put my brethren far from me,
and my acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.
אַחַי מֵעָלַי הִרְחִיק וְיֹדְעַי אַךְ־זָרוּ מִמֶּנִּי׃ 13
14οὐ προσεποιήσαντό με οἱ ἐγγύτατοί μου,
καὶ οἱ εἰδότες μου τὸ ὄνομα ἐπελάθοντό μου.
 My nearest of kin have not acknowledged me,
and they that knew my name, have forgotten me.
 My kinsfolk and my close friends have failed me;
חָדְלוּ קְרֹובָי וּמְיֻדָּעַי שְׁכֵחוּנִי׃ 14
15γείτονες οἰκίας θεράπαιναί τέ μου,
ἀλλογενὴς ἤμην ἐναντίον αὐτῶν.
 [As for] my household, and my maid-servants,
I was a stranger before them.
 the guests in my house have forgotten me;
my maidservants count me as a stranger;
I have become an alien in their eyes.
גָּרֵי בֵיתִי וְאַמְהֹתַי לְזָר תַּחְשְׁבֻנִי נָכְרִי הָיִיתִי בְעֵינֵיהֶם׃ 15
16θεράποντά μου ἐκάλεσα, καὶ οὐχ ὑπήκουσεν·
στόμα δέ μου ἐδέετο.
 I called my servant, and he listened not;
and my mouth intreated [him].
 I call to my servant, but he gives me no answer;
I must beseech him with my mouth.
לְעַבְדִּי קָרָאתִי וְלֹא יַעֲנֶה בְּמֹו־פִי אֶתְחַןֶּן־לֹו׃ 16
17καὶ ἱκέτευον τὴν γυναῖκά μου,
προσεκαλούμην δὲ κολακεύων υἱοὺς παλλακίδων μου·
 And I besought my wife,
and earnestly intreated the sons of my concubines.
 I am repulsive to my wife,
loathsome to the sons of my own mother.
רוּחִי זָרָה לְאִשְׁתִּי וְחַנֹּתִי לִבְנֵי בִטְנִי׃ 17
18οἱ δὲ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνά με ἀπεποιήσαντο·
ὅταν ἀναστῶ, κατ' ἐμοῦ λαλοῦσιν.
 But they rejected me for ever;
whenever I rise up, they speak against me.
 Even young children despise me;
when I rise they talk against me.
גַּם־עֲוִילִים מָאֲסוּ בִי אָקוּמָה וַיְדַבְּרוּ־בִי׃ 18
19ἐβδελύξαντο δέ με οἱ εἰδότες με·
οὓς δὴ ἠγαπήκειν, ἐπανέστησάν μοι.
 They that saw me abhorred me:
the very persons whom I had loved, rose up against me.
 All my intimate friends abhor me,
and those whom I loved have turned against me.
תִּעֲבוּנִי כָּל־מְתֵי סֹודִי וְזֶה־אָהַבְתִּי נֶהְפְּכוּ־בִי׃ 19
20ἐν δέρματί μου ἐσάπησαν αἱ σάρκες μου,
τὰ δὲ ὀστᾶ μου ἐν ὀδοῦσιν ἔχεται.
 My flesh is corrupt under my skin,
and my bones are held in [my] teeth.
 My bones cleave to my skin and to my flesh,
and I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
בְּעֹורִי וּבִבְשָׂרִי דָּבְקָה עַצְמִי וָאֶתְמַלְּטָה בְּעֹור שִׁנָּי׃ 20
21ἐλεήσατέ με, ἐλεήσατέ με, ὦ φίλοι·
χεὶρ γὰρ κυρίου ἡ ἁψαμένη μού ἐστιν.
 Pity me, pity me, O friends;
for it is the hand of the Lord that has touched me.
 Have pity on me, have pity on me, O you my friends,
for the hand of God has touched me!
חָנֻּנִי חָנֻּנִי אַתֶּם רֵעָי כִּי יַד־אֱלֹוהַּ נָגְעָה בִּי׃ 21
22διὰ τί δέ με διώκετε ὥσπερ καὶ ὁ κύριος,
ἀπὸ δὲ σαρκῶν μου οὐκ ἐμπίπλασθε;
 Why do you persecute me as also the Lord [does],
and are not satisfied with my flesh?
 Why do you, like God, pursue me?
Why are you not satisfied with my flesh?
לָמָּה תִּרְדְּפֻנִי כְמֹו־אֵל וּמִבְּשָׂרִי לֹא תִשְׂבָּעוּ׃ 22
23τίς γὰρ ἂν δῴη γραφῆναι τὰ ῥήματά μου,
τεθῆναι δὲ αὐτὰ ἐν βιβλίῳ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα
 For oh that my words were written,
and that they were recorded in a book forever,
 "Oh that my words were written!
Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
מִי־יִתֵּן אֵפֹו וְיִכָּתְבוּן מִלָּי מִי־יִתֵּן בַּסֵּפֶר וְיֻחָקוּ׃ 23
24ἐν γραφείῳ σιδηρῷ καὶ μολίβῳ;
ἢ ἐν πέτραις ἐγγλυφῆναι;
 with an iron pen and lead,
or graven in the rocks!
 Oh that with an iron pen and lead
they were graven in the rock for ever!
בְּעֵט־בַּרְזֶל וְעֹפָרֶת לָעַד בַּצּוּר יֵחָצְבוּן׃ 24
25οἶδα γὰρ ὅτι ἀέναός ἐστιν ὁ ἐκλύειν με μέλλων ἐπὶ γῆς.
 For I know that he is eternal who is about to deliver me,
[and] to raise up upon the earth
 For I know that my Redeemer lives,
and at last he will stand upon the earth;
וַאֲנִי יָדַעְתִּי גֹּאֲלִי חָי וְאַחֲרֹון עַל־עָפָר יָקוּם׃ 25
26ἀναστήσαι τὸ δέρμα μου τὸ ἀνατλῶν ταῦτα·
παρὰ γὰρ κυρίου ταῦτά μοι συνετελέσθη,
 my skin that endures these [sufferings]:
for these things have been accomplished to me of the Lord;
 and after my skin has been thus destroyed,
then from my flesh I shall see God,
וְאַחַר עֹורִי נִקְּפוּ־זֹאת וּמִבְּשָׂרִי אֶחֱזֶה אֱלֹוהַּ׃ 26
27ἃ ἐγὼ ἐμαυτῷ συνεπίσταμαι,
ἃ ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἑόρακεν καὶ οὐκ ἄλλος·
πάντα δέ μοι συντετέλεσται ἐν κόλπῳ.
 which I am conscious of in myself,
which mine eye has seen, and not another,
but all have been fulfilled to me in [my] bosom.
 whom I shall see on my side,
and my eyes shall behold, and not another.
My heart faints within me!
אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי אֶחֱזֶה־לִּי וְעֵינַי רָאוּ וְלֹא־זָר
כָּלוּ כִלְיֹתַי בְּחֵקִי׃ 		27
28εἰ δὲ καὶ ἐρεῖτε Τί ἐροῦμεν ἔναντι αὐτοῦ;
καὶ ῥίζαν λόγου εὑρήσομεν ἐν αὐτῷ·
 But if you shall also say,
What shall we say before him,
and [so] find the root of the matter in him?
 If you say, 'How we will pursue him!'
and, 'The root of the matter is found in him';
כִּי תֹאמְרוּ מַה־נִּרְדָּף־לֹו וְשֹׁרֶשׁ דָּבָר נִמְצָא־בִי׃ 28
29εὐλαβήθητε δὴ καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀπὸ ἐπικαλύμματος·
θυμὸς γὰρ ἐπ' ἀνόμους ἐπελεύσεται,
καὶ τότε γνώσονται ποῦ ἐστιν αὐτῶν ἡ ὕλη.
 Do you also beware of deceit:
for wrath will come upon transgressors;
and then shall they know where their substance is.
 be afraid of the sword,
for wrath brings the punishment of the sword,
that you may know there is a judgment."		גּוּרוּ לָכֶם מִפְּנֵי־חֶרֶב כִּי־חֵמָה עֲוֹנֹות חָרֶב
