40ΙΩΒBrenton(Lxx)JOB Revised Standard VersionJOB 40
1Ἔτι δὲ ὑπολαβὼν ὁ κύριος εἶπεν τῷ Ιωβ ἐκ τοῦ νέφους
 And the Lord yet again answered and spoke to Job out of the cloud, [saying],
The LORD. Jb.40.6-41.34Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind:וַיַּעַן־יְהוָה אֶת־אִיֹּוב [כ= מִנם] [ק= מִן] [כ= סְעָרָה] [ק= סְעָרָה] וַיֹּאמַר׃ 6
2Μή, ἀλλὰ ζῶσαι ὥσπερ ἀνὴρ τὴν ὀσφύν σου,
ἐρωτήσω δέ σε, σὺ δέ μοι ἀποκρίθητι·
 Nay, gird up now your loins like a man;
and I will ask you, and you shall answer me.
 "Gird up your loins like a man;
I will question you, and you declare to me.
אֱזָר־נָא כְגֶבֶר חֲלָצֶיךָ אֶשְׁאָלְךָ וְהֹודִיעֵנִי׃ 7
3μὴ ἀποποιοῦ μου τὸ κρίμα.
οἴει δέ με ἄλλως σοι κεχρηματικέναι ἢ ἵνα ἀναφανῇς δίκαιος;
 Do not set aside my judgment:
and do you think that I have dealt with you in any other way,
than that you might appear to be righteous?
 Will you even put me in the wrong?
Will you condemn me that you may be justified?
הַאַף תָּפֵר מִשְׁפָּטִי תַּרְשִׁיעֵנִי לְמַעַן תִּצְדָּק׃ 8
4ἦ βραχίων σοί ἐστιν κατὰ τοῦ κυρίου,
ἢ φωνῇ κατ' αὐτὸν βροντᾷς;
 Have you an arm like the Lord's?
or do you thunder with a voice like his?
 Have you an arm like God,
and can you thunder with a voice like his?
וְאִם־זְרֹועַ כָּאֵל לָךְ וּבְקֹול כָּמֹהוּ תַרְעֵם׃ 9
5ἀνάλαβε δὴ ὕψος καὶ δύναμιν,
δόξαν δὲ καὶ τιμὴν ἀμφίεσαι·
 Assume now a lofty bearing and power;
and clothe yourself with glory and honour.
 "Deck yourself with majesty and dignity;
clothe yourself with glory and splendor.
עֲדֵה נָא גָאֹון וָגֹבַהּ וְהֹוד וְהָדָר תִּלְבָּשׁ׃ 10
6ἀπόστειλον δὲ ἀγγέλους ὀργῇ,
πᾶν δὲ ὑβριστὴν ταπείνωσον,
 And send forth messengers with wrath;
and lay low every haughty one.
 Pour forth the overflowings of your anger,
and look on every one that is proud, and abase him.
הָפֵץ עֶבְרֹות אַפֶּךָ וּרְאֵה כָל־גֵּאֶה וְהַשְׁפִּילֵהוּ׃ 11
7ὑπερήφανον δὲ σβέσον,
σῆψον δὲ ἀσεβεῖς παραχρῆμα,
 Bring down also the proud man;
and consume at once the ungodly.
 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low;
and tread down the wicked where they stand.
רְאֵה כָל־גֵּאֶה הַכְנִיעֵהוּ וַהֲדֹךְ רְשָׁעִים תַּחְתָּם׃ 12
8κρύψον δὲ εἰς γῆν ἔξω ὁμοθυμαδόν,
τὰ δὲ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ἀτιμίας ἔμπλησον·
 And hide them together in the earth;
and fill their faces with shame.
 Hide them all in the dust together;
bind their faces in the world below.
טָמְנֵם בֶּעָפָר יָחַד פְּנֵיהֶם חֲבֹשׁ בַּטָּמוּן׃ 13
9ὁμολογήσω ἄρα ὅτι δύναται ἡ δεξιά σου σῶσαι. -
 [Then] will I confess that your right hand can save [you].
 Then will I also acknowledge to you,
that your own right hand can give you victory.
וְגַם־אֲנִי אֹודֶךָּ כִּי־תֹושִׁעַ לְךָ יְמִינֶךָ׃ 14
10ἀλλὰ δὴ ἰδοὺ θηρία παρὰ σοί, χόρτον ἴσα βουσὶν ἐσθίει.
 But now look at the wild beasts with you;
they eat grass like oxen.
 "Behold, Be'hemoth,
which I made as I made you;
he eats grass like an ox.
הִנֵּה־נָא בְהֵמֹות אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂיתִי עִמָּךְ חָצִיר כַּבָּקָר יֹאכֵל׃ 15
11ἰδοὺ δὴ ἰσχὺς αὐτοῦ ἐπ' ὀσφύι,
ἡ δὲ δύναμις ἐπ' ὀμφαλοῦ γαστρός·
 Behold now, his strength is in his loins,
and his force is in the navel of his belly.
 Behold, his strength in his loins,
and his power in the muscles of his belly.
הִנֵּה־נָא כֹחֹו בְמָתְנָיו וְאֹנֹו בִּשְׁרִירֵי בִטְנֹו׃ 16
12ἔστησεν οὐρὰν ὡς κυπάρισσον,
τὰ δὲ νεῦρα αὐτοῦ συμπέπλεκται·
 He sets up his tail like a cypress;
and his nerves are wrapped together.
 He makes his tail stiff like a cedar;
the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
יַחְפֹּץ זְנָבֹו כְמֹו־אָרֶז גִּידֵי [כ= פַחֲדֹו] [ק= פַחֲדָיו] יְשֹׂרָגוּ׃ 17
13αἱ πλευραὶ αὐτοῦ πλευραὶ χάλκειαι,
ἡ δὲ ῥάχις αὐτοῦ σίδηρος χυτός.
 His sides are sides of brass;
and his backbone is [as] cast iron.
 His bones are tubes of bronze,
his limbs like bars of iron.
עֲצָמָיו אֲפִיקֵי נְחוּשָׁה גְּרָמָיו כִּמְטִיל בַּרְזֶל׃ 18
14τοῦτ' ἔστιν ἀρχὴ πλάσματος κυρίου,
πεποιημένον ἐγκαταπαίζεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ.
 This is the chief of the creation of the Lord;
made to be played with by his angels.
 "He is the first of the works of God;
let him who made him bring near his sword!
הוּא רֵאשִׁית דַּרְכֵי־אֵל הָעֹשֹׂו יַגֵּשׁ חַרְבֹּו׃ 19
15ἐπελθὼν δὲ ἐπ' ὄρος ἀκρότομον ἐποίησεν χαρμονὴν τετράποσιν ἐν τῷ ταρτάρῳ·
 And when he has gone up to a steep mountain,
he causes joy to the quadrupeds in the deep.
 For the mountains yield food for him
where all the wild beasts play.
כִּי־בוּל הָרִים יִשְׂאוּ־לֹו וְכָל־חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה יְשַׂחֲקוּ־שָׁם׃ 20
16ὑπὸ παντοδαπὰ δένδρα κοιμᾶται,
παρὰ πάπυρον καὶ κάλαμον καὶ βούτομον·
 He lies under trees of every kind,
by the papyrus, and reed, and bulrush.
 Under the lotus plants he lies,
in the covert of the reeds and in the marsh.
תַּחַת־צֶאֱלִימ יִשְׁכָּב בְּסֵתֶר קָנֶה וּבִצָּה׃ 21
17σκιάζονται δὲ ἐν αὐτῷ δένδρα μεγάλα σὺν ῥαδάμνοις καὶ κλῶνες ἄγνου.
 And the great trees make a shadow over him with their branches,
and [so do] the bushes of the field.
 For his shade the lotus trees cover him;
the willows of the brook surround him.
יְסֻכֻּהוּ צֶאֱלִים צִלֲלֹו יְסֻבּוּהוּ עַרְבֵי־נָחַל׃ 22
18ἐὰν γένηται πλήμμυρα, οὐ μὴ αἰσθηθῇ,
πέποιθεν ὅτι προσκρούσει ὁ Ιορδάνης εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ.
 If there should be a flood, he will not perceive it;
he trust that Jordan will rush up into his mouth.
 Behold, if the river is turbulent he is not frightened;
he is confident though Jordan rushes against his mouth.
הֵן יַעֲשֹׁק נָהָר לֹא יַחְפֹּוז יִבְטַח כִּי־יָגִיחַ יַרְדֵּן אֶל־פִּיהוּ׃ 23
19ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ αὐτοῦ δέξεται αὐτόν,
ἐνσκολιευόμενος τρήσει ῥῖνα; -
 [Yet one] shall take him in his sight;
[one] shall catch [him] with a cord, and pierce his nose.
 Can one take him with hooks, or pierce his nose with a snare?בְּעֵינָיו יִקָּחֶנּוּ בְּמֹוקְשִׁים יִנְקָב־אָף׃ 24
20ἄξεις δὲ δράκοντα ἐν ἀγκίστρῳ,
περιθήσεις δὲ φορβεὰν περὶ ῥῖνα αὐτοῦ;
 But will you catch the serpent with a hook,
and put a halter about his nose?
 "Can you draw out Levi'athan with a fishhook,
or press down his tongue with a cord?
תִּמְשֹׁךְ לִוְיָתָן בְּחַכָּה וּבְחֶבֶל תַּשְׁקִיעַ לְשֹׁנֹו׃ 25
21εἰ δήσεις κρίκον ἐν τῷ μυκτῆρι αὐτοῦ, ψελίῳ δὲ τρυπήσεις τὸ χεῖλος αὐτοῦ;
 Or will you fasten a ring in his nostril,
and bore his lip with a clasp?
 Can you put a rope in his nose,
or pierce his jaw with a hook?
הֲתָשִׂים אַגְמֹון בְּאַפֹּו וּבְחֹוחַ תִּקֹּוב לֶחֱיֹו׃ 26
22λαλήσει δέ σοι δεήσει, ἱκετηρίᾳ μαλακῶς;
 Will he address you with a petition?
softly, with the voice of a suppliant?
 Will he make many supplications to you?
Will he speak to you soft words?
הֲיַרְבֶּה אֵלֶיךָ תַּחֲנוּנִים אִם־יְדַבֵּר אֵלֶיךָ רַכֹּות׃ 27
23θήσεται δὲ διαθήκην μετὰ σοῦ,
λήμψῃ δὲ αὐτὸν δοῦλον αἰώνιον;
 And will he make a covenant with you?
and will you take him for a perpetual servant?
 Will he make a covenant with you
to take him for your servant for ever?
הֲיִכְרֹת בְּרִית עִמָּךְ תִּקָּחֶנּוּ לְעֶבֶד עֹולָם׃ 28
24παίξῃ δὲ ἐν αὐτῷ ὥσπερ ὀρνέῳ ἢ δήσεις αὐτὸν ὥσπερ στρουθίον παιδίῳ;
 And will you play with him as with a bird?
or bind him as a sparrow for a child?
 Will you play with him as with a bird,
or will you put him on leash for your maidens?
הַתְשַׂחֶק־בֹּו כַּצִּפֹּור וְתִקְשְׁרֶנּוּ לְנַעֲרֹותֶיךָ׃ 29
25ἐνσιτοῦνται δὲ ἐν αὐτῷ ἔθνη,
μεριτεύονται δὲ αὐτὸν Φοινίκων γένη;
 And do the nations feed upon him,
and the nations of the Phoenicians share him?
 Will traders bargain over him?
Will they divide him up among the merchants?
יִכְרוּ עָלָיו חַבָּרִים יֶחֱצוּהוּ בֵּין כְּנַעֲנִים׃ 30
26πᾶν δὲ πλωτὸν συνελθὸν οὐ μὴ ἐνέγκωσιν βύρσαν μίαν οὐ ρᾶς αὐτοῦ;
καὶ ἐν πλοίοις ἁλιέων κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ.
 And all the ships come together would not be able to bear the mere skin of his tail;
neither [shall they carry] his head in fishing-vessels.
 Can you fill his skin with harpoons,
or his head with fishing spears?
הַתְמַלֵּא בְשֻׂכֹּות עֹורֹו וּבְצִלְצַל דָּגִים רֹאשֹׁו׃ 31
27ἐπιθήσεις δὲ αὐτῷ χεῖρα μνησθεὶς πόλεμον τὸν γινόμενον ἐν σώματι αὐτοῦ, καὶ μηκέτι γινέσθω.
 But you shall lay your hand upon him [once],
remembering the war that is waged by his mouth;
and let it not be done any more.
 Lay hands on him;
think of the battle; you will not do it again!
שִׂים־עָלָיו כַּפֶּךָ זְכֹר מִלְחָמָה אַל־תֹּוסַף׃ 32
