37ΙΩΒBrenton(Lxx)JOB Revised Standard VersionJOB 37
1καὶ ταύτης ἐταράχθη ἡ καρδία μου
καὶ ἀπερρύη ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτῆς.
 At this also my heart is troubled,
and moved out of its place.
 "At this also my heart trembles,
and leaps out of its place.
אַף־לְזֹאת יֶחֱרַד לִבִּי וְיִתַּר מִמְּקֹומֹו׃ 1
2ἄκουε ἀκοὴν ἐν ὀργῇ θυμοῦ κυρίου,
καὶ μελέτη ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐξελεύσεται.
 Hear you a report by the anger of the Lord's wrath,
and a discourse shall come out of his mouth.
 Hearken to the thunder of his voice
and the rumbling that comes from his mouth.
שִׁמְעוּ שָׁמֹועַ בְּרֹגֶז קֹלֹו וְהֶגֶה מִפִּיו יֵצֵא׃ 2
3ὑποκάτω παντὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἀρχὴ αὐτοῦ,
καὶ τὸ φῶς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πτερύγων τῆς γῆς.
 His dominion is under the whole heaven,
and his light is at the extremities of the earth.
 Under the whole heaven he lets it go,
and his lightning to the corners of the earth.
תַּחַת־כָּל־הַשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׁרֵהוּ וְאֹורֹו עַל־כַּנְפֹות הָאָרֶץ׃ 3
4ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ βοήσεται φωνή,
βροντήσει ἐν φωνῇ ὕβρεως αὐτοῦ,
καὶ οὐκ ἀνταλλάξει αὐτούς, ὅτι ἀκούσει φωνὴν αὐτοῦ.
 After him shall be a cry with a [loud] voice;
he shall thunder with the voice of his excellency,
yet he shall not cause men to pass away,
for one shall hear his voice.
 After it his voice roars;
he thunders with his majestic voice
and he does not restrain the lightnings when his voice is heard.
אַחֲרָיו יִשְׁאַג־קֹול יַרְעֵם בְּקֹול גְּאֹונֹו
וְלֹא יְעַקְּבֵם כִּי־יִשָּׁמַע קֹולֹו׃ 		4
5βροντήσει ὁ ἰσχυρὸς ἐν φωνῇ αὐτοῦ θαυμάσια·
ἐποίησεν γὰρ μεγάλα, ἃ οὐκ ᾔδειμεν,
 The Mighty One shall thunder wonderfully with his voice:
for he has done great things which we knew not;
 God thunders wondrously with his voice;
he does great things which we cannot comprehend.
יַרְעֵם אֵל בְּקֹולֹו נִפְלָאֹות עֹשֶׂה גְדֹלֹות וְלֹא נֵדָע׃ 5
6συντάσσων χιόνι Γίνου ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς·
καὶ χειμὼν ὑετός, καὶ χειμὼν ὑετῶν δυναστείας αὐτοῦ.
 commanding the snow, Be you upon the earth,
and the stormy rain, and the storm of the showers of his might.
 For to the snow he says, 'Fall on the earth';
and to the shower and the rain, 'Be strong.'
כִּי לַשֶּׁלַג יֹאמַר הֱוֵא אָרֶץ וְגֶשֶׁם מָטָר וְגֶשֶׁם מִטְרֹות עֻזֹּו׃ 6
7ἐν χειρὶ παντὸς ἀνθρώπου κατασφραγίζει,
ἵνα γνῷ πᾶς ἄνθρωπος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἀσθένειαν.
 He seals up the hand of every man,
that every man may know his own weakness.
 He seals up the hand of every man,
that all men may know his work.
בְּיַד־כָּל־אָדָם יַחְתֹּום לָדַעַת כָּל־אַנְשֵׁי מַעֲשֵׂהוּ׃ 7
8εἰσῆλθεν δὲ θηρία ὑπὸ σκέπην,
ἡσύχασαν δὲ ἐπὶ κοίτης.
 And the wild beasts come in under the covert,
and rest in [their] lair.
 Then the beasts go into their lairs,
and remain in their dens.
וַתָּבֹא חַיָּה בְמֹו־אָרֶב וּבִמְעֹונֹתֶיהָ תִשְׁכֹּן׃ 8
9ἐκ ταμιείων ἐπέρχονται δῖναι,
ἀπὸ δὲ ἀκρωτηρίων ψῦχος.
 Troubles come on out of the secret chambers,
and cold from the mountain-tops.
 From its chamber comes the whirlwind,
and cold from the scattering winds.
מִן־הַחֶדֶר תָּבֹוא סוּפָה וּמִמְּזָרִים קָרָה׃ 9
10καὶ ἀπὸ πνοῆς ἰσχυροῦ δώσει πάγος,
οἰακίζει δὲ τὸ ὕδωρ ὡς ἐὰν βούληται·
 And from the breath of the Mighty One he will send frost;
and he guides the water in whatever way he pleases.
 By the breath of God ice is given,
and the broad waters are frozen fast.
מִנִּשְׁמַת־אֵל יִתֶּן־קָרַח וְרֹחַב מַיִם בְּמוּצָק׃ 10
11καὶ ἐκλεκτὸν καταπλάσσει νεφέλη,
διασκορπιεῖ νέφος φῶς αὐτοῦ.
 And [if] a cloud obscures [what is] precious [to him],
his light will disperse the cloud.
 He loads the thick cloud with moisture;
the clouds scatter his lightning.
אַף־בְּרִי יַטְרִיחַ עָב יָפִיץ עֲןַן אֹורֹו׃ 11
12καὶ αὐτὸς κυκλώματα διαστρέψει,
ἐν θεεβουλαθω εἰς ἔργα αὐτῶν·
πάντα, ὅσα ἂν ἐντείληται αὐτοῖς,
ταῦτα συντέτακται παρ' αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς,
 And he will carry round the encircling [clouds] by his governance,
to [perform] their works:
whatsoever he shall command them,
 They turn round and round by his guidance,
to accomplish all that he commands them on the face of the habitable world.
וְהוּא מְסִבֹּות מִתְהַפֵּךְ [כ= בְּתַחְבּוּלָתֹו] [ק= בְּתַחְבּוּלֹתָיו] לְפָעֳלָם
כֹּל אֲשֶׁר יְצַוֵּם עַל־פְּנֵי תֵבֵל אָרְצָה׃ 		12
13ἐὰν εἰς παιδείαν, ἐὰν εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ,
ἐὰν εἰς ἔλεος εὑρήσει αὐτόν.
 this has been appointed by him on the earth,
whether for correction, [or] for his land,
or if he shall find him [an object] for mercy.
 Whether for correction, or for his land,
or for love, he causes it to happen.
אִם־לְשֵׁבֶט אִם־לְאַרְצֹו אִם־לְחֶסֶד יַמְצִאֵהוּ׃ 13
14ἐνωτίζου ταῦτα, Ιωβ·
στῆθι νουθετοῦ δύναμιν Κυρίου.
 stand still, and be admonished of the power of the Lord.
 "Hear this, O Job;
stop and consider the wondrous works of God.
הַאֲזִינָה זֹּאת אִיֹּוב עֲמֹד וְהִתְבֹּוןֵן נִפְלְאֹות אֵל׃ 14
15οἴδαμεν ὅτι ὁ θεὸς ἔθετο ἔργα αὐτοῦ
φῶς ποιήσας ἐκ σκότους.
 We know that god has disposed his works,
having made light out of darkness.
 Do you know how God lays his command upon them,
and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
הֲתֵדַע בְּשׂוּם־אֱלֹוהַּ עֲלֵיהֶם וְהֹופִיעַ אֹור עֲנָנֹו׃ 15
16ἐπίσταται δὲ διάκρισιν νεφῶν,
ἐξαίσια δὲ πτώματα πονηρῶν.
 And he knows the divisions of the clouds,
and the signal overthrows of the ungodly.
 Do you know the balancings of the clouds,
the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge,
הֲתֵדַע עַל־מִפְלְשֵׂי־עָב מִפְלְאֹות תְּמִים דֵּעִים׃ 16
17σοῦ δὲ ἡ στολὴ θερμή·
ἡσυχάζεται δὲ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
 But your robe is warm,
and there is quiet upon the land.
 you whose garments are hot
when the earth is still because of the south wind?
אֲשֶׁר־בְּגָדֶיךָ חַמִּים בְּהַשְׁקִט אֶרֶץ מִדָּרֹום׃ 17
18στερεώσεις μετ' αὐτοῦ εἰς παλαιώματα,
ἰσχυραὶ ὡς ὅρασις ἐπιχύσεως.
 Will you establish with him [foundations] for the ancient [heavens?
they are] strong as a molten mirror.
 Can you, like him, spread out the skies,
hard as a molten mirror?
תַּרְקִיעַ עִמֹּו לִשְׁחָקִים חֲזָקִים כִּרְאִי מוּצָק׃ 18
19διὰ τί; δίδαξόν με τί ἐροῦμεν αὐτῷ·
καὶ παυσώμεθα πολλὰ λέγοντες.
 Why teach me, what shall we say to him?
and let us cease from saying much.
 Teach us what we shall say to him;
we cannot draw up our case because of darkness.
הֹודִיעֵנוּ מַה־נֹּאמַר לֹו לֹא־נַעֲרֹךְ מִפְּנֵי־חֹשֶׁךְ׃ 19
20μὴ βίβλος ἢ γραμματεύς μοι παρέστηκεν,
ἵνα ἄνθρωπον ἑστηκὼς κατασιωπήσω;
 Have I a book or a scribe my me,
that I may stand and put man to silence?
 Shall it be told him that I would speak?
Did a man ever wish that he would be swallowed up?
הַיְסֻפַּר־לֹו כִּי אֲדַבֵּר אִם־אָמַר אִישׁ כִּי יְבֻלָּע׃ 20
21πᾶσιν δ' οὐχ ὁρατὸν τὸ φῶς,
τηλαυγές ἐστιν ἐν τοῖς παλαιώμασιν,
ὥσπερ τὸ παρ' αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ νεφῶν.
 But the light is not visible to all:
it shines afar off in the heavens,
as that which is from him in the clouds.
 "And now men cannot look on the light
when it is bright in the skies,
when the wind has passed and cleared them.
וְעַתָּה לֹא רָאוּ אֹור בָּהִיר הוּא בַּשְּׁחָקִים
וְרוּחַ עָבְרָה וַתְּטַהֲרֵם׃		 21
22ἀπὸ βορρᾶ νέφη χρυσαυγοῦντα·
ἐπὶ τούτοις μεγάλη ἡ δόξα καὶ τιμὴ παντοκράτορος.
 From the [north] come the clouds shining like gold:
in these great are the glory and honour of the Almighty;
 Out of the north comes golden splendor;
God is clothed with terrible majesty.
מִצָּפֹון זָהָב יֶאֱתֶה עַל־אֱלֹוהַּ נֹורָא הֹוד׃ 22
23καὶ οὐχ εὑρίσκομεν ἄλλον ὅμοιον τῇ ἰσχύι αὐτοῦ·
ὁ τὰ δίκαια κρίνων, οὐκ οἴει ἐπακούειν αὐτόν;
 and we do not find another his equal in strength:
[as for] him that judges justly,
do you not think that he listens?
 The Almighty - we cannot find him;
he is great in power and justice,
and abundant righteousness he will not violate.
שַׁדַּי לֹא־מְצָאנֻהוּ שַׂגִּיא־כֹחַ וּמִשְׁפָּט וְרֹב־צְדָקָה לֹא יְעַנֶּה׃ 23
24διὸ φοβηθήσονται αὐτὸν οἱ ἄνθρωποι,
φοβηθήσονται δὲ αὐτὸν καὶ οἱ σοφοὶ καρδίᾳ.
 Why men shall fear him;
and the wise also in heart shall fear him.
 Therefore men fear him;
he does not regard any who are wise in their own conceit."		לָכֵן יְרֵאוּהוּ אֲנָשִׁים לֹא־יִרְאֶה כָּל־חַכְמֵי־לֵב׃ ף 24
