4ΙΩΒBrenton(Lxx)JOB Revised Standard VersionJOB 4
1Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ελιφας ὁ Θαιμανίτης λέγει
 Then Eliphaz the Thaemanite answered and said,
THE FIRST DIALOGUE. Jb.4.1-14.22. Eliphaz. Jb.4.1-5.27Then Eli'phaz the Te'manite answered:וַיַּעַן אֱלִיפַז הַתֵּימָנִי וַיֹּאמַר׃ 1
2Μὴ πολλάκις σοι λελάληται ἐν κόπῳ; ἰσχὺν δὲ ῥημάτων σου τίς ὑποίσει;
 Have you been often spoken to in distress?
but who hall endure the force of your words?
 "If one ventures a word with you, will you be offended?
Yet who can keep from speaking?
הֲנִסָּה דָבָר אֵלֶיךָ תִּלְאֶה וַעְצֹר בְּמִלִּין מִי יוּכָל׃ 2
3εἰ γὰρ σὺ ἐνουθέτησας πολλοὺς καὶ χεῖρας ἀσθενοῦς παρεκάλεσας
 For whereas you have instructed many,
and have strengthened the hands of the weak one,
 Behold, you have instructed many,
and you have strengthened the weak hands.
הִנֵּה יִסַּרְתָּ רַבִּים וְיָדַיִם רָפֹות תְּחַזֵּק׃ 3
4ἀσθενοῦντάς τε ἐξανέστησας ῥήμασιν γόνασίν τε ἀδυνατοῦσιν θάρσος περιέθηκας,
 and have supported the failing with words,
and have imparted courage to feeble knees.
 Your words have upheld him who was stumbling,
and you have made firm the feeble knees.
כֹּושֵׁל יְקִימוּן מִלֶּיךָ וּבִרְכַּיִם כֹּרְעֹות תְּאַמֵּץ׃ 4
5νῦν δὲ ἥκει ἐπὶ σὲ πόνος καὶ ἥψατό σου, σὺ δὲ ἐσπούδασας.
 Yet now [that] pain has come upon you,
and touched you, you are troubled.
 But now it has come to you, and you are impatient;
it touches you, and you are dismayed.
כִּי עַתָּה תָּבֹוא אֵלֶיךָ וַתֵּלֶא תִּגַּע עָדֶיךָ וַתִּבָּהֵל׃ 5
6πότερον οὐχ ὁ φόβος σού ἐστιν ἐν ἀφροσύνῃ,
καὶ ἡ ἐλπίς σου καὶ ἡ ἀκακία τῆς ὁδοῦ σου;
 Is not your fear [founded] in folly, your hope also,
and the mischief of your way?
 Is not your fear of God your confidence,
and the integrity of your ways your hope?
הֲלֹא יִרְאָתְךָ כִּסְלָתֶךָ תִּקְוָתְךָ וְתֹם דְּרָכֶיךָ׃ 6
7μνήσθητι οὖν τίς καθαρὸς ὢν ἀπώλετο
ἢ πότε ἀληθινοὶ ὁλόρριζοι ἀπώλοντο.
 Remember then who has perished, being pure?
or when were the true-hearted utterly destroyed?
 "Think now, who that was innocent ever perished?
Or where were the upright cut off?
זְכָר־נָא מִי הוּא נָקִי אָבָד וְאֵיפֹה יְשָׁרִים נִכְחָדוּ׃ 7
8καθ' ὃν τρόπον εἶδον τοὺς ἀροτριῶντας τὰ ἄτοπα,
οἱ δὲ σπείροντες αὐτὰ ὀδύνας θεριοῦσιν ἑαυτοῖς.
 Accordingly as I have seen men ploughing barren places,
and they that sow them will reap sorrows for themselves.
 As I have seen, those who plow iniquity
and sow trouble reap the same.
כַּאֲשֶׁר רָאִיתִי חֹרְשֵׁי אָוֶן וְזֹרְעֵי עָמָל יִקְצְרֻהוּ׃ 8
9ἀπὸ προστάγματος κυρίου ἀπολοῦνται,
ἀπὸ δὲ πνεύματος ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ ἀφανισθήσονται.
 They shall perish by the command of the Lord,
and shall be utterly consumed by the breath of his wrath.
 By the breath of God they perish,
and by the blast of his anger they are consumed.
מִנִּשְׁמַת אֱלֹוהַ יֹאבֵדוּ וּמֵרוּחַ אַפֹּו יִכְלוּ׃ 9
10σθένος λέοντος, φωνὴ δὲ λεαίνης,
γαυρίαμα δὲ δρακόντων ἐσβέσθη·
 The strength of the lion,
and the voice of the lioness,
and the exulting cry of serpents are quenched.
 The roar of the lion, the voice of the fierce lion,
the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
שַׁאֲגַת אַרְיֵה וְקֹול שָׁחַל וְשִׁנֵּי כְפִירִים נִתָּעוּ׃ 10
11μυρμηκολέων ὤλετο παρὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν βοράν,
σκύμνοι δὲ λεόντων ἔλιπον ἀλλήλους.
 The old lion has perished for want of food,
and the lions' whelps have forsaken one another.
 The strong lion perishes for lack of prey,
and the whelps of the lioness are scattered.
לַיִשׁ אֹבֵד מִבְּלִי־טָרֶף וּבְנֵי לָבִיא יִתְפָּרָדוּ׃ 11
12εἰ δέ τι ῥῆμα ἀληθινὸν ἐγεγόνει ἐν λόγοις σου,
οὐθὲν ἄν σοι τούτων κακὸν ἀπήντησεν.
πότερον οὐ δέξεταί μου τὸ οὖς ἐξαίσια παρ' αὐτοῦ;
 But if there had been any truth in your words,
none of these evils would have befallen you.
Shall not mine ear receive excellent [revelations] from him?
 "Now a word was brought to me stealthily,
my ear received the whisper of it.
וְאֵלַי דָּבָר יְגֻנָּב וַתִּקַּח אָזְנִי שֵׁמֶץ מֶנְהוּ׃ 12
13φόβοι δὲ καὶ ἠχὼ νυκτερινή, ἐπιπίπτων
φόβος ἐπ' ἀνθρώπους,
 But [as when] terror falls upon men,
with dread and a sound in the night,
 Amid thoughts from visions of the night,
when deep sleep falls on men,
בִּשְׂעִפִּים מֵחֶזְיֹנֹות לָיְלָה בִּנְפֹל תַּרְדֵּמָה עַל־אֲנָשִׁים׃ 13
14φρίκη δέ μοι συνήντησεν καὶ τρόμος,
καὶ μεγάλως μου τὰ ὀστᾶ συνέσεισεν,
 horror and trembling seized me,
and caused all my bones greatly to shake.
 dread came upon me, and trembling,
which made all my bones shake.
פַּחַד קְרָאַנִי וּרְעָדָה וְרֹב עַצְמֹותַי הִפְחִיד׃ 14
15καὶ πνεῦμα ἐπὶ πρόσωπόν μου ἐπῆλθεν,
ἔφριξαν δέ μου τρίχες καὶ σάρκες.
 And a spirit came before my face;
and my hair and flesh quivered.
 A spirit glided past my face;
the hair of my flesh stood up.
וְרוּחַ עַל־פָּנַי יַחֲלֹף תְּסַמֵּר שַׂעֲרַת בְּשָׂרִי׃ 15
16ἀνέστην, καὶ οὐκ ἐπέγνων·
εἶδον, καὶ οὐκ ἦν μορφὴ πρὸ ὀφθαλμῶν μου,
ἀλλ' ἢ αὔραν καὶ φωνὴν ἤκουον
 I arose and perceived it not:
I looked, and there, was no form before my eyes:
but I only heard a breath and a voice,
[saying],
 It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance.
A form was before my eyes;
there was silence, then I heard a voice:
יַעֲמֹד וְלֹא־אַכִּיר מַרְאֵהוּ
תְּמוּנָה לְנֶגֶד עֵינָי דְּמָמָה וָקֹול אֶשְׁמָע׃ 		16
17Τί γάρ; μὴ καθαρὸς ἔσται βροτὸς ἐναντίον κυρίου;
ἢ ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων αὐτοῦ ἄμεμπτος ἀνήρ;
 What, shall a mortal be pure before the Lord?
or a man be blameless in regard to his works?
 'Can mortal man be righteous before God?
Can a man be pure before his Maker?
הַאֱנֹושׁ מֵאֱלֹוהַ יִצְדָּק אִמ מֵעֹשֵׂהוּ יִטְהַר־גָּבֶר׃ 17
18εἰ κατὰ παίδων αὐτοῦ οὐ πιστεύει,
κατὰ δὲ ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ σκολιόν τι ἐπενόησεν,
 Whereas he trust not in his servants,
and perceives perverseness in his angels.
 Even in his servants he puts no trust,
and his angels he charges with error;
הֵן בַּעֲבָדָיו לֹא יַאֲמִין וּבְמַלְאָכָיו יָשִׂים תָּהֳלָה׃ 18
19τοὺς δὲ κατοικοῦντας οἰκίας πηλίνας,
ἐξ ὧν καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ πηλοῦ ἐσμεν,
ἔπαισεν αὐτοὺς σητὸς τρόπον·
 But [as for] them that dwell in houses of clay,
of whom we also are formed of the same clay,
he smites them like a moth.
 how much more those who dwell in houses of clay,
whose foundation is in the dust,
who are crushed before the moth.
אַף שֹׁכְנֵי בָתֵּי־חֹמֶר אֲשֶׁר־בֶּעָפָר יְסֹודָם
יְדַכְּאוּם לִפְנֵי־עָשׁ׃ 		19
20καὶ ἀπὸ πρωίθεν ἕως ἑσπέρας οὐκέτι εἰσίν,
παρὰ τὸ μὴ δύνασθαι αὐτοὺς ἑαυτοῖς βοηθῆσαι ἀπώλοντο·
 And from the morning to evening they no longer exist:
they have perished,
because they cannot help themselves.
 Between morning and evening they are destroyed;
they perish for ever without any regarding it.
מִבֹּקֶר לָעֶרֶב יֻכַּתּוּ מִבְּלִי מֵשִׂים לָנֶצַח יֹאבֵדוּ׃ 20
21ἐνεφύσησεν γὰρ αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐξηράνθησαν,
ἀπώλοντο παρὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν αὐτοὺς σοφίαν.
 For he blows upon them,
and they are withered:
they have perished for lack of wisdom.
 If their tent-cord is plucked up within them,
do they not die, and that without wisdom?'		הֲלֹא־נִסַּע יִתְרָם בָּם יָמוּתוּ וְלֹא בְחָכְמָה׃ 21
