30ΙΩΒBrenton(Lxx)JOB Revised Standard VersionJOB 30
1νυνὶ δὲ κατεγέλασάν μου·
ἐλάχιστοι νῦν νουθετοῦσίν με ἐν μέρει,
ὧν ἐξουδένουν πατέρας αὐτῶν,
οὓς οὐχ ἡγησάμην εἶναι ἀξίους κυνῶν τῶν ἐμῶν νομάδων.
 But now the youngest have laughed me to scorn,
now they reprove me in [their] turn, whose fathers I set at nought;
whom I did not deem worthy [to be with] my shepherd dogs.
 "But now they make sport of me,
men who are younger than I,
whose fathers I would have disdained
to set with the dogs of my flock.
וְעַתָּה שָׂחֲקוּ עָלַי צְעִירִים מִמֶּנִּי לְיָמִים
אֲשֶׁר־מָאַסְתִּי אֲבֹותָם לָשִׁית עִם־כַּלְבֵי צֹאנִי׃ 		1
2καί γε ἰσχὺς χειρῶν αὐτῶν ἵνα τί μοι;
ἐπ αὐτοὺς ἀπώλετο συντέλεια
 Yes, why had I the strength of their hands?
for them the full term [of life] was lost.
 What could I gain from the strength of their hands,
men whose vigor is gone?
גַּם־כֹּחַ יְדֵיהֶם לָמָּה לִּי עָלֵימֹו אָבַד כָּלַח׃ 2
3ἐν ἐνδείᾳ καὶ λιμῷ ἄγονος·
οἱ φεύγοντες ἄνυδρον ἐχθὲς συνοχὴν καὶ ταλαιπωρίαν,
 [One is] childless in want and famine,
[such as] they that fled but lately the distress and misery of drought.
 Through want and hard hunger
they gnaw the dry and desolate ground;
בְּחֶסֶר וּבְכָפָן גַּלְמוּד הַעֹרְקִים צִיָּה אֶמֶשׁ שֹׁואָה וּמְשֹׁאָה׃ 3
4οἱ περικλῶντες ἅλιμα ἐπὶ ἠχοῦντι,
οἵτινες ἅλιμα ἦν αὐτῶν τὰ σῖτα·
ἄτιμοι δὲ καὶ πεφαυλισμένοι, ἐνδεεῖς παντὸς ἀγαθοῦ,
οἳ καὶ ῥίζας ξύλων ἐμασῶντο ὑπὸ λιμοῦ μεγάλου.
 Who compass the salt places on the sounding [shore],
who had salt [herbs] for their food,
and were dishonorable and of no repute,
in want of every good thing;
who also ate roots of trees by reason of great hunger.
 they pick mallow and the leaves of bushes,
and to warm themselves the roots of the broom.
הַקֹּטְפִים מַלּוּחַ עֲלֵי־שִׂיחַ וְשֹׁרֶשׁ רְתָמִים לַחְםָם׃ 4
5ἐπανέστησάν μοι κλέπται,
 Thieves have risen up against me,
 They are driven out from among men;
they shout after them as after a thief.
מִן־גֵּו יְגֹרָשׁוּ יָרִיעוּ עָלֵימֹו כַּגַּנָּב׃ 5
6ὧν οἱ οἶκοι αὐτῶν ἦσαν τρῶγλαι πετρῶν·
 whose houses were the caves of the rocks,
who lived under the wild shrubs.
 In the gullies of the torrents they must dwell,
in holes of the earth and of the rocks.
בַּעֲרוּץ נְחָלִים לִשְׁכֹּן חֹרֵי עָפָר וְכֵפִים׃ 6
7ἀνὰ μέσον εὐήχων βοήσονται·
οἳ ὑπὸ φρύγανα ἄγρια διῃτῶντο,
 They will cry out among the rustling [bushes].
 Among the bushes they bray;
under the nettles they huddle together.
בֵּין־שִׂיחִים יִנְהָקוּ תַּחַת חָרוּל יְסֻפָּחוּ׃ 7
8ἀφρόνων υἱοὶ καὶ ἀτίμων ὄνομα,
καὶ κλέος ἐσβεσμένον ἀπὸ γῆς.
 [They are] sons of fools and vile men,
[whose] name and glory [are] quenched from off the earth.
 A senseless, a disreputable brood,
they have been whipped out of the land.
בְּנֵי־נָבָל גַּם־בְּנֵי בְלִי־שֵׁם נִכְּאוּ מִן־הָאָרֶץ׃ 8
9νυνὶ δὲ κιθάρα ἐγώ εἰμι αὐτῶν,
καὶ ἐμὲ θρύλημα ἔχουσιν·
 But now I am their music,
and they have me for a by-word.
 "And now I have become their song,
I am a byword to them.
וְעַתָּה נְגִינָתָם הָיִיתִי וָאֱהִי לָהֶם לְמִלָּה׃ 9
10ἐβδελύξαντο δέ με ἀποστάντες μακράν,
ἀπὸ δὲ προσώπου μου οὐκ ἐφείσαντο πτύελον.
 And they stood aloof and abhorred me,
and spared not to spit in my face.
 They abhor me, they keep aloof from me;
they do not hesitate to spit at the sight of me.
תִּעֲבוּנִי רָחֲקוּ מֶנִּי וּמִפָּנַי לֹא־חָשְׂכוּ רֹק׃ 10
11ἀνοίξας γὰρ φαρέτραν αὐτοῦ ἐκάκωσέν με,
καὶ χαλινὸν τοῦ προσώπου μου ἐξαπέστειλαν.
 For he has opened his quiver and afflicted me:
they also have cast off the restraint of my presence.
 Because God has loosed my cord and humbled me,
they have cast off restraint in my presence.
כִּי־[כ= יִתְרֹו] [ק= יִתְרִי] פִתַּח וַיְעַנֵּנִי וְרֶסֶן מִפָּנַי שִׁלֵּחוּ׃ 11
12ἐπὶ δεξιῶν βλαστοῦ ἐπανέστησαν,
πόδα αὐτῶν ἐξέτειναν καὶ ὡδοποίησαν ἐπ' ἐμὲ τρίβους ἀπ' ωλείας αὐτῶν.
 They have risen up against [me] on the right hand of [their] offspring;
they have stretched out their foot,
and directed against me the ways of their destruction.
 On my right hand the rabble rise,
they drive me forth,
they cast up against me their ways of destruction.
עַל־יָמִין פִּרְחַח יָקוּמוּ רַגְלַי שִׁלֵּחוּ וַיָּסֹלּוּ עָלַי אָרְחֹות אֵידָם׃ 12
13ἐξετρίβησαν τρίβοι μου,
ἐξέδυσεν γάρ μου τὴν στολήν·
 My paths are ruined;
for they have stripped off my raiment:
he has shot at me with his weapons.
 They break up my path,
they promote my calamity;
no one restrains them.
נָתְסוּ נְתִיבָתִי לְהַוָּתִי יֹעִילוּ לֹא עֹזֵר לָמֹו׃ 13
14βέλεσιν αὐτοῦ κατηκόντισέν με,
κέχρηταί μοι ὡς βούλεται·
ἐν ὀδύναις πέφυρμαι.
 And he has pleaded against me as he will:
I am overwhelmed with pains.
 As through a wide breach they come;
amid the crash they roll on.
כְּפֶרֶץ רָחָב יֶאֱתָיוּ תַּחַת שֹׁאָה הִתְגַּלְגָּלוּ׃ 14
15ἐπιστρέφονται δέ μου αἱ ὀδύναι,
ᾤχετό μου ἡ ἐλπὶς ὥσπερ πνεῦμα καὶ ὥσπερ νέφος ἡ σωτηρία μου.
 My pains return upon [me];
my hope is gone like the wind,
and my safety as a cloud.
 Terrors are turned upon me;
my honor is pursued as by the wind,
and my prosperity has passed away like a cloud.
הָהְפַּךְ עָלַי בַּלָּהֹות תִּרְדֹּף כָּרוּחַ נְדִבָתִי וּכְעָב עָבְרָה יְשֻׁעָתִי׃ 15
16καὶ νῦν ἐπ' ἐμὲ ἐκχυθήσεται ἡ ψυχή μου,
ἔχουσιν δέ με ἡμέραι ὀδυνῶν·
 Even now my life shall be poured forth upon me;
and days of anguish seize me.
 "And now my soul is poured out within me;
days of affliction have taken hold of me.
וְעַתָּה עָלַי תִּשְׁתַּפֵּךְ נַפְשִׁי יֹאחֲזוּנִי יְמֵי־עֹנִי׃ 16
17νυκτὶ δέ μου τὰ ὀστᾶ συγκέκαυται,
τὰ δὲ νεῦρά μου διαλέλυται.
 And by night my bones are confounded;
an my sinews are relaxed.
 The night racks my bones,
and the pain that gnaws me takes no rest.
לַיְלָה עֲצָמַי נִקַּר מֵעָלָי וְעֹרְקַי לֹא יִשְׁכָּבוּן׃ 17
18ἐν πολλῇ ἰσχύι ἐπελάβετό μου τῆς στολῆς,
ὥσπερ τὸ περιστόμιον τοῦ χιτῶνός μου περιέσχεν με.
 With great force [my disease] has taken hold of my garment:
it has compassed me as the collar of my coat.
 With violence it seizes my garment;
it binds me about like the collar of my tunic.
בְּרָב־כֹּחַ יִתְחַפֵּשׂ לְבוּשִׁי כְּפִי כֻתָּנְתִּי יַאַזְרֵנִי׃ 18
19ἥγησαι δέ με ἴσα πηλῷ,
ἐν γῇ καὶ σποδῷ μου ἡ μερίς·
 And you have counted me as clay;
my portion in dust and ashes.
 God has cast me into the mire,
and I have become like dust and ashes.
הֹרָנִי לַחֹמֶר וָאֶתְמַשֵּׁל כֶּעָפָר וָאֵפֶר׃ 19
20κέκραγα δὲ πρὸς σὲ καὶ οὐκ εἰσακούεις μου,
ἔστησαν καὶ κατενόησάν με·
 And I have cried to you, but you hear me not:
but they stood still, and observed me.
 I cry to thee and thou dost not answer me;
I stand, and thou dost not heed me.
אֲשַׁוַּע אֵלֶיךָ וְלֹא תַעֲנֵנִי עָמַדְתִּי וַתִּתְבֹּןֶן בִּי׃ 20
21ἐπέβης δέ μοι ἀνελεημόνως,
χειρὶ κραταιᾷ με ἐμαστίγωσας·
 They attacked me also without mercy:
you have scourged me with a strong hand.
 Thou hast turned cruel to me;
with the might of thy hand thou dost persecute me.
תֵּהָפֵךְ לְאַכְזָר לִי בְּעֹצֶם יָדְךָ תִשְׂטְמֵנִי׃ 21
22ἔταξας δέ με ἐν ὀδύναις,
καὶ ἀπέρριψάς με ἀπὸ σωτηρίας.
 And you have put me to grief,
and have cast me away from safety.
 Thou liftest me up on the wind, thou makest me ride on it,
and thou tossest me about in the roar of the storm.
תִּשָּׂאֵנִי אֶל־רוּחַ תַּרְכִּיבֵנִי וּתְמֹגְגֵנִי [כ= תְּשֻׁוָּה] [ק= תּוּשִׁיָּה]׃ 22
23οἶδα γὰρ ὅτι θάνατός με ἐκτρίψει·
οἰκία γὰρ παντὶ θνητῷ γῆ.
 For I know that death will destroy me:
for the earth is the house [appointed] for every mortal.
 Yea, I know that thou wilt bring me to death,
and to the house appointed for all living.
כִּי־יָדַעְתִּי מָוֶת תְּשִׁיבֵנִי וּבֵית מֹועֵד לְכָל־חָי׃ 23
24εἰ γὰρ ὄφελον δυναίμην ἐμαυτὸν χειρώσασθαι,
ἢ δεηθείς γε ἑτέρου, καὶ ποιήσει μοι τοῦτο.
 Oh then that I might lay hands upon myself,
or at least ask another,
and he should do this for me.
 "Yet does not one in a heap of ruins stretch out his hand,
and in his disaster cry for help?
אַךְ לֹא־בְעִי יִשְׁלַח־יָד אִם־בְּפִידֹו לָהֶן שׁוּעַ׃ 24
25ἐγὼ δὲ ἐπὶ παντὶ ἀδυνάτῳ ἔκλαυσα,
ἐστέναξα δὲ ἰδὼν ἄνδρα ἐν ἀνάγκαις.
 Yet I wept over every helpless man;
I groaned when I saw a man in distress.
 Did not I weep for him whose day was hard?
Was not my soul grieved for the poor?
אִם־לֹא בָכִיתִי לִקְשֵׁה־יֹום עָגְמָה נַפְשִׁי לָאֶבְיֹון׃ 25
26ἐγὼ δὲ ἐπέχων ἀγαθοῖς,
ἰδοὺ συνήντησάν μοι μᾶλλον ἡμέραι κακῶν.
 But I, when I waited for good things,
behold, days of evils came the more upon me.
 But when I looked for good, evil came;
and when I waited for light, darkness came.
כִּי טֹוב קִוִּיתִי וַיָּבֹא רָע וַאֲיַחֲלָה לְאֹור וַיָּבֹא אֹפֶל׃ 26
27ἡ κοιλία μου ἐξέζεσεν καὶ οὐ σιωπήσεται,
προέφθασάν με ἡμέραι πτωχείας.
 My belly boiled, and would not cease:
the days of poverty prevented me.
 My heart is in turmoil, and is never still;
days of affliction come to meet me.
מֵעַי רֻתְּחוּ וְלֹא־דָמּוּ קִדְּמֻנִי יְמֵי־עֹנִי׃ 27
28στένων πεπόρευμαι ἄνευ φιμοῦ,
ἕστηκα δὲ ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ κεκραγώς.
 I went mourning without restraint:
and I have stood and cried out in the assembly.
 I go about blackened, but not by the sun;
I stand up in the assembly, and cry for help.
קֹדֵר הִלַּכְתִּי בְּלֹא חַמָּה קַמְתִּי בַקָּהָל אֲשַׁוֵּעַ׃ 28
29ἀδελφὸς γέγονα σειρήνων,
ἑταῖρος δὲ στρουθῶν.
 I am become a brother of monsters,
and a companion of ostriches.
 I am a brother of jackals,
and a companion of ostriches.
אָח הָיִיתִי לְתַנִּים וְרֵעַ לִבְנֹות יַעֲנָה׃ 29
30τὸ δὲ δέρμα μου ἐσκότωται μεγάλως,
τὰ δὲ ὀστᾶ μου ἀπὸ καύματος.
 And my skin has been greatly blackened,
and my bones are burned with heat.
 My skin turns black and falls from me,
and my bones burn with heat.
עֹורִי שָׁחַר מֵעָלָי וְעַצְמִי־חָרָה מִנִּי־חֹרֶב׃ 30
31ἀπέβη δὲ εἰς πάθος μου ἡ κιθάρα,
ὁ δὲ ψαλμός μου εἰς κλαυθμὸν ἐμοί.
 My harp also has been turned into mourning,
and my song into my weeping.
 My lyre is turned to mourning,
and my pipe to the voice of those who weep.		וַיְהִי לְאֵבֶל כִּנֹּרִי וְעֻגָבִי לְקֹול בֹּכִים׃ 31
