26ΙΩΒBrenton(Lxx)JOB Revised Standard VersionJOB 26
1Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ιωβ λέγει
 But Job answered and said,
Job. Jb.26.1-4Then Job answered:וַיַּעַן אִיֹּוב וַיֹּאמַר׃ 1
2Τίνι πρόσκεισαι ἢ τίνι μέλλεις βοηθεῖν;
πότερον οὐχ ᾧ πολλὴ ἰσχὺς καὶ ᾧ βραχίων κραταιός ἐστιν;
 To whom do you attach yourself,
or whom are you going to assist?
is it not he that [has] much strength,
and [he] who has a strong arm?
 "How you have helped him who has no power!
How you have saved the arm that has no strength!
מֶה־עָזַרְתָּ לְלֹא־כֹחַ הֹושַׁעְתָּ זְרֹועַ לֹא־עֹז׃ 2
3τίνι συμβεβούλευσαι; οὐχ ᾧ πᾶσα σοφία;
ἢ τίνι ἐπακολουθήσεις; οὐχ ᾧ μεγίστη δύναμις;
 To whom have you given counsel?
is it not to him who has all wisdom?
whom will you follow?
is it not one who has the greatest power?
 How you have counseled him who has no wisdom,
and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
מַה־יָּעַצְתָּ לְלֹא חָכְמָה וְתוּשִׁיָּה לָרֹב הֹודָעְתָּ׃ 3
4τίνι ἀνήγγειλας ῥήματα;
πνοὴ δὲ τίνος ἐστὶν ἡ ἐξελθοῦσα ἐκ σοῦ;
 To whom have you uttered words?
and whose breath is it that has come forth from you?
 With whose help have you uttered words,
and whose spirit has come forth from you?
אֶת־מִי הִגַּדְתָּ מִלִּין וְנִשְׁמַת־מִי יָצְאָה מִמֶּךָּ׃ 4
5μὴ γίγαντες μαιωθήσονται ὑποκάτωθεν ὕδατος καὶ τῶν γειτόνων αὐτοῦ;
 Shall giants be born from under the water and the inhabitants thereof?
[Bildad] Jb.26.5-14The shades below tremble,
the waters and their inhabitants.
הָרְפָאִים יְחֹולָלוּ מִתַּחַת מַיִם וְשֹׁכְנֵיהֶם׃ 5
6γυμνὸς ὁ ᾅδης ἐπώπιον αὐτοῦ,
καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν περιβόλαιον τῇ ἀπωλείᾳ.
 Hell is naked before him,
and destruction has no covering.
 Sheol is naked before God,
and Abaddon has no covering.
עָרֹום שְׁאֹול נֶגְדֹּו וְאֵין כְּסוּת לָאֲבַדֹּון׃ 6
7ἐκτείνων βορέαν ἐπ' οὐδέν,
κρεμάζων γῆν ἐπὶ οὐδενός·
 He stretches out the north wind upon nothing,
and he upon nothing hangs the earth;
 He stretches out the north over the void,
and hangs the earth upon nothing.
נֹטֶה צָפֹון עַל־תֹּהוּ תֹּלֶה אֶרֶץ עַל־בְּלִי־מָה׃ 7
8δεσμεύων ὕδωρ ἐν νεφέλαις αὐτοῦ,
καὶ οὐκ ἐρράγη νέφος ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ·
 binding water in his clouds,
and the cloud is not rent under it.
 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds,
and the cloud is not rent under them.
צֹרֵר־מַיִם בְּעָבָיו וְלֹא־נִבְקַע עָןָן תַּחְתָּם׃ 8
9ὁ κρατῶν πρόσωπον θρόνου,
ἐκπετάζων ἐπ' αὐτὸν νέφος αὐτοῦ.
 He keeps back the face of his throne,
stretching out his cloud upon it.
 He covers the face of the moon,
and spreads over it his cloud.
מְאַחֵז פְּנֵי־כִסֵּה פַּרְשֵׁז עָלָיו עֲנָנֹו׃ 9
10πρόσταγμα ἐγύρωσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ὕδατος
μέχρι συντελείας φωτὸς μετὰ σκότους.
 He has encompassed the face of the water by an appointed ordinance,
until the end of light and darkness.
 He has described a circle upon the face of the waters
at the boundary between light and darkness.
חֹק־חָג עַל־פְּנֵי־מָיִם עַד־תַּכְלִית אֹור עִם־חֹשֶׁךְ׃ 10
11στῦλοι οὐρανοῦ ἐπετάσθησαν καὶ ἐξέστησαν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐπιτιμήσεως αὐτοῦ.
 The pillars of heaven are prostrate and astonished at his rebuke.
 The pillars of heaven tremble,
and are astounded at his rebuke.
עַמּוּדֵי שָׁמַיִם יְרֹופָפוּ וְיִתְמְהוּ מִגַּעֲרָתֹו׃ 11
12ἰσχύι κατέπαυσεν τὴν θάλασσαν,
ἐπιστήμῃ δὲ ἔτρωσε τὸ κῆτος·
 He has calmed the sea with [his] might,
and by [his] wisdom the whale has been overthrown.
 By his power he stilled the sea;
by his understanding he smote Rahab.
בְּכֹחֹו רָגַע הַיָּם [כ= וּבִתוּבְנָתֹו] [ק= וּבִתְבוּנָתֹו] מָחַץ רָהַב׃ 12
13κλεῖθρα δὲ οὐρανοῦ δεδοίκασιν αὐτόν,
προστάγματι δὲ ἐθανάτωσεν δράκοντα ἀποστάτην.
 And the barriers of heaven fear him,
and by a command he has slain the apostate dragon.
 By his wind the heavens were made fair;
his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
בְּרוּחֹו שָׁמַיִם שִׁפְרָה חֹלֲלָה יָדֹו נָחָשׁ בָּרִיחַ׃ 13
14ἰδοὺ ταῦτα μέρη ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ,
καὶ ἐπὶ ἰκμάδα λόγου ἀκουσόμεθα ἐν αὐτῷ·
σθένος δὲ βροντῆς αὐτοῦ τίς οἶδεν ὁπότε ποιήσει;
 Behold, these are parts of his way;
and we will listen to him at the least intimation of his word:
but the strength of his thunder who knows, when he shall employ [it]?
 Lo, these are but the outskirts of his ways;
and how small a whisper do we hear of him!
But the thunder of his power who can understand?"		הֶן־אֵלֶּה קְצֹות [כ= דַּרְכֹּו] [ק= דְּרָכָיו] וּמַה־שֵּׁמֶץ דָּבָר נִשְׁמַע־בֹּו
וְרַעַם [כ= גְּבוּרָתֹו] [ק= גְּבוּרֹותָיו ] מִי יִתְבֹּוןָן׃ ס		 14
