| 1 | Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Βαλδαδ ὁ Σαυχίτης λέγει |
Then Baldad the Sauchite answered, and said, | Bildad. Jb.8.1-22 | Then Bildad the Shuhite answered: | וַיַּעַן בִּלְדַּד הַשּׁוּחִי וַיֹאמַר׃ | 1 |
| 2 | Μέχρι τίνος λαλήσεις ταῦτα; πνεῦμα πολυρῆμον τοῦ στόματός σου. |
How long will you speak these things, [how long shall] the breath of your mouth [be] abundant in words? | "How long will you say these things, and the words of your mouth be a great wind? | עַד־אָן תְּמַלֶּל־אֵלֶּה וְרוּחַ כַּבִּיר אִמְרֵי־פִיךָ׃ | 2 | |
| 3 | μὴ ὁ κύριος ἀδικήσει κρίνων; ἢ ὁ τὰ πάντα ποιήσας ταράξει τὸ δίκαιον; |
Will the Lord be unjust when he judges; or will he that has made all things pervert justice? | Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert the right? | הַאֵל יְעַוֵּת מִשְׁפָּט וְאִם־שַׁדַּי יְעַוֵּת־צֶדֶק׃ | 3 | |
| 4 | εἰ οἱ υἱοί σου ἥμαρτον ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ, ἀπέστειλεν ἐν χειρὶ ἀνομίας αὐτῶν. |
If your sons have sinned before him, he has cast them away because of their transgression. | If your children have sinned against him, he has delivered them into the power of their transgression. | אִם־בָּנֶיךָ חָטְאוּ־לֹו וַיְשַׁלְּחֵם בְּיַד־פִּשְׁעָם׃ | 4 | |
| 5 | σὺ δὲ ὄρθριζε πρὸς Κύριον Παντοκράτορα δεόμενος. |
But be you early in prayer to the Lord Almighty. | If you will seek God and make supplication to the Almighty, | אִם־אַתָּה תְּשַׁחֵר אֶל־אֵל וְאֶל־שַׁדַּי תִּתְחַןָּן׃ | 5 | |
| 6 | εἰ καθαρὸς εἶ καὶ ἀληθινός, δεήσεως ἐπακούσεταί σου, ἀποκαταστήσει δέ σοι δίαιταν δικαιοσύνης· |
If you are pure and true, he will listen to your supplication, and will restore to you the habitation of righteousness. | if you are pure and upright, surely then he will rouse himself for you and reward you with a rightful habitation. | אִם־זַךְ וְיָשָׁר אָתָּה כִּי־עַתָּה יָעִיר עָלֶיךָ וְשִׁלַּם נְוַת צִדְקֶךָ׃ | 6 | |
| 7 | ἔσται οὖν τὰ μὲν πρῶτά σου ὀλίγα, τὰ δὲ ἔσχατά σου ἀμύθητα. |
Though then your beginning should be small, yet your end should be unspeakably great. | And though your beginning was small, your latter days will be very great. | וְהָיָה רֵאשִׁיתְךָ מִצְעָר וְאַחֲרִיתְךָ יִשְׂגֶּה מְאֹד׃ |
7 | |
| 8 | ἐπερώτησον γὰρ γενεὰν πρώτην, ἐξιχνίασον δὲ κατὰ γένος πατέρων· |
For ask of the former generation, and search diligently among the race of [our] fathers: | "For inquire, I pray you, of bygone ages, and consider what the fathers have found; | כִּי־שְׁאַל־נָא לְדֹר רִישֹׁון וְכֹוןֵן לְחֵקֶר אֲבֹותָם׃ | 8 | |
| 9 | χθιζοὶ γάρ ἐσμεν καὶ οὐκ οἴδαμεν, σκιὰ γάρ ἐστιν ἡμῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὁ βίος. |
(for we are of yesterday, and now nothing; for our life upon the earth is a shadow:) | for we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, for our days on earth are a shadow. | כִּי־תְמֹול אֲנַחְנוּ וְלֹא נֵדָע כִּי צֵל יָמֵינוּ עֲלֵי־אָרֶץ׃ | 9 | |
| 10 | ἦ οὐχ οὗτοί σε διδάξουσιν καὶ ἀναγγελοῦσιν, καὶ ἐκ καρδίας ἐξάξουσιν ῥήματα; |
shall not these teach you, and report [to you], and bring out words from [their] heart? | Will they not teach you, and tell you, and utter words out of their understanding? | הֲלֹא־הֵם יֹורוּךָ יֹאמְרוּ לָךְ וּמִלִּבָּם יֹוצִאוּ מִלִּים׃ | 10 | |
| 11 | μὴ θάλλει πάπυρος ἄνευ ὕδατος; ἢ ὑψωθήσεται βούτομον ἄνευ πότου; |
Does the rush flourish without water, or shall the flag grow up without moisture? | "Can papyrus grow where there is no marsh? Can reeds flourish where there is no water? | הֲיִגְאֶה־גֹּמֶא בְּלֹא בִצָּה יִשְׂגֶּה־אָחוּ בְלִי־מָיִם׃ | 11 | |
| 12 | ἔτι ὂν ἐπὶ ῥίζης καὶ οὐ μὴ θερισθῇ, πρὸ τοῦ πιεῖν πᾶσα βοτάνη οὐχὶ ξηραίνεται. |
When it is yet on the root, and [though] it has not been cut down, does not any herb wither before it has received moisture? | While yet in flower and not cut down, they wither before any other plant. | עֹדֶנּוּ בְאִבֹּו לֹא יִקָּטֵף וְלִפְנֵי כָל־חָצִיר יִיבָשׁ׃ | 12 | |
| 13 | οὕτως τοίνυν ἔσται τὰ ἔσχατα πάντων τῶν ἐπιλανθανομέ νων τοῦ κυρίου· ἐλπὶς γὰρ ἀσεβοῦς ἀπολεῖται. |
Thus then shall be the end of all that forget the Lord: for the hope of the ungodly shall perish. | Such are the paths of all who forget God; the hope of the godless man shall perish. | כֵּן אָרְחֹות כָּל־שֹׁכְחֵי אֵל וְתִקְוַת חָנֵף תֹּאבֵד׃ | 13 | |
| 14 | ἀοίκητος γὰρ αὐτοῦ ἔσται ὁ οἶκος, ἀράχνη δὲ αὐτοῦ ἀποβήσεται ἡ σκηνή. |
For his house shall be without inhabitants, and his tent shall prove a spider's web. | His confidence breaks in sunder, and his trust is a spider's web. | אֲשֶׁר־יָקֹוט כִּסְלֹו וּבֵית עַכָּבִישׁ מִבְטַחֹו׃ | 14 | |
| 15 | ἐὰν ὑπερείσῃ τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ, οὐ μὴ στῇ· ἐπιλαβομένου δὲ αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ ὑπομείνῃ· |
If he should prop up his house, it shall not stand: and when he has taken hold of it, it shall not remain. | He leans against his house, but it does not stand; he lays hold of it, but it does not endure. | יִשָּׁעֵן עַל־בֵּיתֹו וְלֹא יַעֲמֹד יַחֲזִיק בֹּו וְלֹא יָקוּם׃ | 15 | |
| 16 | ὑγρὸς γάρ ἐστιν ὑπὸ ἡλίου, καὶ ἐκ σαπρίας αὐτοῦ ὁ ῥάδαμνος αὐτοῦ ἐξελεύσεται. |
For it is moist under the sun, and his branch shall come forth out of his dung-heap. | He thrives before the sun, and his shoots spread over his garden. | רָטֹב הוּא לִפְנֵי־שָׁמֶשׁ וְעַל גַּנָּתֹו יֹנַקְתֹּו תֵצֵא׃ | 16 | |
| 17 | ἐπὶ συναγωγὴν λίθων κοιμᾶται, ἐν δὲ μέσῳ χαλίκων ζήσεται. |
He lies down upon a gathering of stones, and shall live in the mist of flints. | His roots twine about the stoneheap; he lives among the rocks. | עַל־גַּל שָׁרָשָׁיו יְסֻבָּכוּ בֵּית אֲבָנִים יֶחֱזֶה׃ | 17 | |
| 18 | ἐὰν καταπίῃ, ὁ τόπος ψεύσεται αὐτόν· οὐχ ἑόρακας τοιαῦτα. |
If [God] should destroy [him], his place shall deny him. Have you not seen such things, | If he is destroyed from his place, then it will deny him, saying, 'I have never seen you.' | אִם־יְבַלְּעֶנּוּ מִמְּקֹומֹו וְכִחֶשׁ בֹּו לֹא רְאִיתִיךָ׃ | 18 | |
| 19 | ὅτι καταστροφὴ ἀσεβοῦς τοιαύτη, ἐκ δὲ γῆς ἄλλον ἀναβλαστήσει. |
that such is the overthrow of the ungodly? and out of the earth another shall grow. | Behold, this is the joy of his way; and out of the earth others will spring. | הֶן־הוּא מְשֹׂושׂ דַּרְכֹּו וּמֵעָפָר אַחֵר יִצְמָחוּ׃ | 19 | |
| 20 | ὁ γὰρ κύριος οὐ μὴ ἀποποιήσηται τὸν ἄκακον, πᾶν δὲ δῶρον ἀσεβοῦς οὐ δέξεται. |
For the Lord will by no means reject the harmless man; but he will not receive any gift of the ungodly. | "Behold, God will not reject a blameless man, nor take the hand of evildoers. | הֶן־אֵל לֹא יִמְאַס־תָּם וְלֹא־יַחֲזִיק בְּיַד־מְרֵעִים׃ | 20 | |
| 21 | ἀληθινῶν δὲ στόμα ἐμπλήσει γέλωτος, τὰ δὲ χείλη αὐτῶν ἐξομολογήσεως· |
But he will fill with laughter the mouth of the sincere, and their lips with thanksgiving. | He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with shouting. | עַד־יְמַלֵּה שְׂחֹוק פִּיךָ וּשְׂפָתֶיךָ תְרוּעָה׃ | 21 | |
| 22 | οἱ δὲ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῶν ἐνδύσονται αἰσχύνην, δίαιτα δὲ ἀσεβοῦς οὐκ ἔσται. |
But their adversaries shall clothe themselves with shame; and the habitation of the ungodly shall perish. | Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the wicked will be no more." | שֹׂנְאֶיךָ יִלְבְּשׁוּ־בֹשֶׁת וְאֹהֶל רְשָׁעִים אֵינֶנּוּ׃ ף | 22 | |
