20ΙΩΒBrenton(Lxx)JOB Revised Standard VersionJOB 20
1Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Σωφαρ ὁ Μιναῖος λέγει
 Then Sophar the Minaean answered and said,
Zophar. Jb.20.1-29Then Zophar the Na'amathite answered:וַיַּעַן צֹפַר הַנַּעֲמָתִי וַיֹּאמַר׃ 1
2Οὐχ οὕτως ὑπελάμβανον ἀντερεῖν σε ταῦτα,
καὶ οὐχὶ συνίετε μᾶλλον ἢ καὶ ἐγώ.
 I did not suppose that you would answer thus:
neither do you understand more than I.
 "Therefore my thoughts answer me,
because of my haste within me.
לָכֵן שְׂעִפַּי יְשִׁיבוּנִי וּבַעֲבוּר חוּשִׁי בִי׃ 2
3παιδείαν ἐντροπῆς μου ἀκούσομαι,
καὶ πνεῦμα ἐκ τῆς συνέσεως ἀποκρίνεταί μοι.
 I will hear my shameful reproach;
and the spirit of my understanding answers me.
 I hear censure which insults me,
and out of my understanding a spirit answers me.
מוּסַר כְּלִמָּתִי אֶשְׁמָע וְרוּחַ מִבִּינָתִי יַעֲנֵנִי׃ 3
4μὴ ταῦτα ἔγνως ἀπὸ τοῦ ἔτι
ἀφ' οὗ ἐτέθη ἄνθρωπος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς;
 Have you [not] known these things of old,
from the time that man was set upon the earth?
 Do you not know this from of old,
since man was placed upon earth,
הֲזֹאת יָדַעְתָּ מִנִּי־עַד מִנִּי שִׂים אָדָם עֲלֵי־אָרֶץ׃ 4
5εὐφροσύνη γὰρ ἀσεβῶν πτῶμα ἐξαίσιον,
χαρμονὴ δὲ παρανόμων ἀπώλεια,
 But the mirth of the ungodly is a signal downfall,
and the joy of transgressors is destruction:
 that the exulting of the wicked is short,
and the joy of the godless but for a moment?
כִּי רִנְנַת רְשָׁעִים מִקָּרֹוב וְשִׂמְחַת חָנֵף עֲדֵי־רָגַע׃ 5
6ἐὰν ἀναβῇ εἰς οὐρανὸν αὐτοῦ τὰ δῶρα,
ἡ δὲ θυσία αὐτοῦ νεφῶν ἅψηται.
 although his gifts should go up to heaven,
and his sacrifice reach the clouds.
 Though his height mount up to the heavens,
and his head reach to the clouds,
אִם־יַעֲלֶה לַשָּׁמַיִם שִׂיאֹו וְרֹאשֹׁו לָעָב יַגִּיעַ׃ 6
7ὅταν γὰρ δοκῇ ἤδη κατεστηρίχθαι,
τότε εἰς τέλος ἀπολεῖται·
οἱ δὲ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν ἐροῦσιν Ποῦ ἐστιν;
 For when he shall seem to be now established, then he shall utterly perish:
and they that knew him shall say, Where is he?
 he will perish for ever like his own dung;
those who have seen him will say, 'Where is he?'
כְּגֶלֲלֹו לָנֶצַח יֹאבֵד רֹאָיו יֹאמְרוּ אַיֹּו׃ 7
8ὥσπερ ἐνύπνιον ἐκπετασθὲν οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῇ,
ἔπτη δὲ ὥσπερ φάσμα νυκτερινόν.
 Like a dream that has fled away, he shall not be found;
and he has fled like a vision of the night.
 He will fly away like a dream, and not be found;
he will be chased away like a vision of the night.
כַּחֲלֹום יָעוּף וְלֹא יִמְצָאוּהוּ וְיֻדַּד כְּחֶזְיֹון לָיְלָה׃ 8
9ὀφθαλμὸς παρέβλεψεν καὶ οὐ προσθήσει,
καὶ οὐκέτι προσνοήσει αὐτὸν ὁ τόπος αὐτοῦ.
 The eye has looked upon him, but shall not [see him] again;
and his place shall no longer perceive him.
 The eye which saw him will see him no more,
nor will his place any more behold him.
עַיִן שְׁזָפַתּוּ וְלֹא תֹוסִיף וְלֹא־עֹוד תְּשׁוּרֶנּוּ מְקֹומֹו׃ 9
10τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ ὀλέσαισαν ἥττονες,
αἱ δὲ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ πυρσεύσαισαν ὀδύνας.
 Let [his] inferiors destroy his children,
and let his hands kindle the fire of sorrow.
 His children will seek the favor of the poor,
and his hands will give back his wealth.
בָּנָיו יְרַצּוּ דַלִּים וְיָדָיו תָּשֵׁבְנָה אֹונֹו׃ 10
11ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ ἐνεπλήσθησαν νεότητος αὐτοῦ,
καὶ μετ' αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ χώματος κοιμηθήσεται.
 His bones have been filled with [vigour of] his youth,
and it shall lie down with him in the dust.
 His bones are full of youthful vigor,
but it will lie down with him in the dust.
עַצְמֹותָיו מָלְאוּ [כ= עֲלוּמֹו] [ק= עֲלוּמָיו] וְעִמֹּו עַל־עָפָר תִּשְׁכָּב׃ 11
12ἐὰν γλυκανθῇ ἐν στόματι αὐτοῦ κακία,
κρύψει αὐτὴν ὑπὸ τὴν γλῶσσαν αὐτοῦ·
 Though evil be sweet in his mouth,
[though] he will hide it under his tongue;
 "Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth,
though he hides it under his tongue,
אִם־תַּמְתִּיק בְּפִיו רָעָה יַכְחִידֶנָּה תַּחַת לְשֹׁונֹו׃ 12
13οὐ φείσεται αὐτῆς καὶ οὐκ ἐγκαταλείψει αὐτὴν
καὶ συνέξει αὐτὴν ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λάρυγγος αὐτοῦ.
 though he will not spare it, and will not leave it,
but will keep it in the midst of his throat:
 though he is loath to let it go,
and holds it in his mouth,
יַחְמֹל עָלֶיהָ וְלֹא יַעַזְבֶנָּה וְיִמְנָעֶנָּה בְּתֹוךְ חִכֹּו׃ 13
14καὶ οὐ μὴ δυνηθῇ βοηθῆσαι ἑαυτῷ·
χολὴ ἀσπίδος ἐν γαστρὶ αὐτοῦ.
 yet he shall not at all be able to help himself;
the gall of an asp is in his belly.
 yet his food is turned in his stomach;
it is the gall of asps within him.
לַחְמֹו בְּמֵעָיו נֶהְפָּךְ מְרֹורַת פְּתָנִים בְּקִרְבֹּו׃ 14
15πλοῦτος ἀδίκως συναγόμενος ἐξεμεσθήσεται,
ἐξ οἰκίας αὐτοῦ ἐξελκύσει αὐτὸν ἄγγελος.
 [His] wealth unjustly collected shall be vomited up;
a messenger [of] [wrath] shall drag him out of his house.
 He swallows down riches and vomits them up again;
God casts them out of his belly.
חַיִל בָּלַע וַיְקִאֶנּוּ מִבִּטְנֹו יֹורִשֶׁנּוּ אֵל׃ 15
16θυμὸν δὲ δρακόντων θηλάσειεν,
ἀνέλοι δὲ αὐτὸν γλῶσσα ὄφεως.
 And let him suck the poison of serpents,
and let the serpent's tongue slay him.
 He will suck the poison of asps;
the tongue of a viper will kill him.
רֹאשׁ־פְּתָנִים יִינָק תַּהַרְגֵהוּ לְשֹׁון אֶפְעֶה׃ 16
17μὴ ἴδοι ἄμελξιν νομάδων
μηδὲ νομὰς μέλιτος καὶ βουτύρου.
 Let him not see the milk of the pastures,
nor the supplies of honey and butter.
 He will not look upon the rivers,
the streams flowing with honey and curds.
אַל־יֵרֶא בִפְלַגֹּות נַהֲרֵי נַחֲלֵי דְּבַשׁ וְחֶמְאָה׃ 17
18εἰς κενὰ καὶ μάταια ἐκοπίασεν,
πλοῦτον ἐξ οὗ οὐ γεύσεται·
ὥσπερ στρίφνος ἀμάσητος ἀκατάποτος.
 He has laboured unprofitably and in vain,
[for] wealth of which he shall not taste:
[it is] as a lean thing,
unfit for food, which he cannot swallow.
 He will give back the fruit of his toil, and will not swallow it down;
from the profit of his trading he will get no enjoyment.
מֵשִׁיב יָגָע וְלֹא יִבְלָע כְּחֵיל תְּמוּרָתֹו וְלֹא יַעֲלֹס׃ 18
19πολλῶν γὰρ ἀδυνάτων οἴκους ἔθλασεν,
δίαιταν δὲ ἥρπασεν καὶ οὐκ ἔστησεν.
 For he has broken down the houses of many mighty men:
and he has plundered an habitation,
though he built [it] not.
 For he has crushed and abandoned the poor,
he has seized a house which he did not build.
כִּי־רִץַּץ עָזַב דַּלִּים בַּיִת גָּזַל וְלֹא יִבֶנֵהוּ׃ 19
20οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῦ σωτηρία τοῖς ὑπάρχουσιν,
ἐν ἐπιθυμίᾳ αὐτοῦ οὐ σωθήσεται.
 There is no security to his possessions;
he shall not be saved by his desire.
 "Because his greed knew no rest,
he will not save anything in which he delights.
כִּי לֹא־יָדַע שָׁלֵו בְּבִטְנֹו בַּחֲמוּדֹו לֹא יְמַלֵּט׃ 20
21οὐκ ἔστιν ὑπόλειμμα τοῖς βρώμασιν αὐτοῦ·
διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἀνθήσει αὐτοῦ τὰ ἀγαθά.
 There is nothing remaining of his provisions;
therefore his goods shall not flourish.
 There was nothing left after he had eaten;
therefore his prosperity will not endure.
אֵין־שָׂרִיד לְאָכְלֹו עַל־כֵּן לֹא־יָחִיל טוּבֹו׃ 21
22ὅταν δὲ δοκῇ ἤδη πεπληρῶσθαι, θλιβήσεται,
πᾶσα δὲ ἀνάγκη ἐπ' αὐτὸν ἐπελεύσεται.
 But when he shall seem to be just satisfied, he shall be straitened;
and all distress shall come upon him.
 In the fulness of his sufficiency he will be in straits;
all the force of misery will come upon him.
בִּמְלֹאות שִׂפְקֹו יֵצֶר לֹו כָּל־יַד עָמֵל תְּבֹואֶנּוּ׃ 22
23εἴ πως πληρώσαι γαστέρα αὐτοῦ,
ἐπαποστείλαι ἐπ' αὐτὸν θυμὸν ὀργῆς,
νίψαι ἐπ' αὐτὸν ὀδύνας·
 If by any means he would fill his belly,
let [God] send upon him the fury of wrath;
let him bring a torrent of pains upon him.
 To fill his belly to the full
God will send his fierce anger into him,
and rain it upon him as his food.
יְהִי לְמַלֵּא בִטְנֹו יְשַׁלַּח־בֹּו חֲרֹון אַפֹּו וְיַמְטֵר עָלֵימֹו בִּלְחוּמֹו׃ 23
24καὶ οὐ μὴ σωθῇ ἐκ χειρὸς σιδήρου,
τρώσαι αὐτὸν τόξον χάλκειον·
 And he shall by no means escape from the power of the sword;
let the brazen bow wound him.
 He will flee from an iron weapon;
a bronze arrow will strike him through.
יִבְרַח מִנֵּשֶׁק בַּרְזֶל תַּחְלְפֵהוּ קֶשֶׁת נְחוּשָׁה׃ 24
25διεξέλθοι δὲ διὰ σώματος αὐτοῦ βέλος,
ἀστραπαὶ δὲ ἐν διαίταις αὐτοῦ περιπατήσαισαν·
ἐπ αὐτῷ φόβοι.
 And let the arrow pierce through his body;
and let the stars be against his dwelling-place:
let terrors come upon him.
 It is drawn forth and comes out of his body,
the glittering point comes out of his gall;
terrors come upon him.
שָׁלַף וַיֵּצֵא מִגֵּוָה וּבָרָק מִמְּרֹרָתֹו יַהֲלֹךְ עָלָיו אֵמִים׃ 25
26πᾶν δὲ σκότος αὐτῷ ὑπομείναι·
κατέδεται αὐτὸν πῦρ ἄκαυστον,
κακώσαι δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπήλυτος τὸν οἶκον.
 And let all darkness wait for him:
a fire that burns not out shall consume him;
and let a stranger plague his house.
 Utter darkness is laid up for his treasures;
a fire not blown upon will devour him;
what is left in his tent will be consumed.
כָּל־חֹשֶׁךְ טָמוּן לִצְפּוּנָיו תְּאָכְלֵהוּ אֵשׁ לֹא־נֻפָּח יֵרַע שָׂרִיד בְּאָהֳלֹו׃ 26
27ἀνακαλύψαι δὲ αὐτοῦ ὁ οὐρανὸς τὰς ἀνομίας,
γῆ δὲ ἐπανασταίη αὐτῷ.
 And let the heaven reveal his iniquities,
and the earth rise up against him.
 The heavens will reveal his iniquity,
and the earth will rise up against him.
יְגַלּוּ שָׁמַיִם עֲוֹנֹו וְאֶרֶץ מִתְקֹומָמָה לֹו׃ 27
28ἑλκύσαι τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ἀπώλεια εἰς τέλος,
ἡμέρα ὀργῆς ἐπέλθοι αὐτῷ.
 Let destruction bring his house to an end;
let a day of wrath come upon him.
 The possessions of his house will be carried away,
dragged off in the day of God's wrath.
יִגֶל יְבוּל בֵּיתֹו נִגָּרֹות בְּיֹום אַפֹּו׃ 28
29αὕτη ἡ μερὶς ἀνθρώπου ἀσεβοῦς παρὰ Κυρίου,
καὶ κτῆμα ὑπαρχόντων αὐτῷ παρὰ τοῦ ἐπισκόπου.
 This is the portion of an ungodly man from the Lord,
and the possession of his goods [appointed him] by the all-seeing [God].
 This is the wicked man's portion from God,
the heritage decreed for him by God."		זֶה חֵלֶק־אָדָם רָשָׁע מֵאֱלֹהִים וְנַחֲלַת אִמְרֹו מֵאֵל׃ ף 29
