1
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἐλιφὰζ ὁ Θαιμανίτης, λέγει,
2
Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
Πότερον σοφὸς ἀπόκρισιν δώσει συνέσεως πνεῦμα, καὶ ἐνέπλησε πόνον γαστρὸς,
3
Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
ἐλέγχων ἐν ῥήμασιν οἷς οὐ δεῖ, καὶ ἐν λόγοις οἷς οὐδὲν ὄφελος;
4
Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
Οὐ καὶ σὺ ἀπεποιήσω φόβον, συνετελέσω δὲ ῥήματα τοιαῦτα ἔναντι τοῦ Κυρίου;
5
For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
Ἔνοχος εἶ ῥήμασι στόματός σου, οὐδὲ διέκρινας ῥήματα δυναστῶν.
6
Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
Ἐλέγξαι σε τὸ σὸν στόμα καὶ μὴ ἐγὼ, τὰ δὲ χείλη σου καταμαρτυρήσουσι σου.
7
Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
Τί γάρ; μὴ πρῶτος ἀνθρώπων ἐγεννήθης; ἢ πρὸ θινῶν ἐπάγης;
8
Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
Ἢ σύνταγμα Κυρίου ἀκήκοας; ἢ συμβούλῳ σοι ἐχρήσατο ὁ Θεός; εἰς δέ σε ἀφίκετο σοφία;
9
What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?
Τί γὰρ οἶδας, ὃ οὐκ οἴδαμεν; ἢ τί συνίεις σὺ, ὃ οὐ καὶ ἡμεῖς;
10
With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.
Καί γε πρεσβύτης καί γε παλαιὸς ἐν ἡμῖν, βαρύτερος τοῦ πατρός σου ἡμέραις.
11
Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
Ὀλίγα ὧν ἡμάρτηκας μεμαστίγωσαι, μεγάλως ὑπερβαλλόντως λελάληκας.
12
Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
Τί ἐτόλμησεν ἡ καρδία σου; ἢ τί ἐπήνεγκαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου,
13
That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?
ὅτι θυμὸν ἔῤῥηξας ἔναντι Κυρίου, ἐξήγαγες δὲ ἐκ στόματος ῥήματα τοιαῦτα;
14
What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
Τίς γὰρ ὢν βροτὸς, ὅτι ἔσται ἅμεμπτος; ἢ ὡς ἐσόμενος δίκαιος γεννητὸς γυναικός;
15
Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
Εἰ κατὰ ἁγίων οὐ πιστεύει, οὐρανὸς δὲ οὐ καθαρὸς ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ.
16
How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
Ἔα δὲ ἐβδελυγμένος καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἀνὴρ, πίνων ἀδικίας ἶσα ποτῷ.
17
I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
Ἀναγγελῶ δέ σοι, ἄκουέ μου, ἃ δὴ ἑώρακα, ἀναγγελῶ σοι,
18
Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
ἃ σοφοὶ ἐροῦσι, καὶ οὐκ ἔκρυψαν πατέρες αὐτῶν.
19
Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
Αὐτοῖς μόνοις ἐδόθη ἡ γῆ, καὶ οὐκ ἐπῆλθεν ἀλλογενὴς ἐπʼ αὐτούς.
20
The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
Πᾶς ὁ βίος ἀσεβοῦς ἐν φροντίδι, ἔτη δὲ ἀριθμητὰ δεδομένα δυνάστῃ.
21
A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
Ὁ δὲ φόβος αὐτοῦ ἐν ὠσὶν αὐτοῦ· ὅταν δοκῇ ἤδη εἰρηνεύειν, ἥξει αὐτοῦ ἡ καταστροφή.
22
He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
Μὴ πιστευέτω ἀποστραφῆναι ἀπὸ σκότους, ἐντέταλται γὰρ ἤδη εἰς χεῖρας σιδήρου,
23
He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
κατατέτακται δὲ εἰς σῖτα γυψίν· οἶδε δὲ ἐν ἑαυτῷ ὅτι μένει εἰς πτῶμα· ἡμέρα δὲ σκοτεινὴ αὐτὸν στροβήσει,
24
Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
ἀνάγκη δὲ καὶ θλίψις αὐτὸν καθέξει, ὥσπερ στρατηγὸς πρωτοστάτης πίπτων·
25
For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
Ὅτι ᾖρκε χεῖρας ἐναντίον τοῦ Κυρίου, ἔναντι δὲ Κυρίου παντοκράτορος ἐτραχηλίασεν.
26
He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
Ἔδραμε δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ὕβρει, ἐν πάχει νώτου ἀσπίδος αὐτοῦ.
27
Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.
Ὅτι ἐκάλυψε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐν στέατι αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐποίησε περιστόμιον ἐπὶ τῶν μηρίων.
28
And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
Αὐλισθείη δὲ πόλεις ἐρήμους, εἰσέλθοι δὲ εἰς οἴκους ἀοικήτους· ἃ δὲ ἐκεῖνοι ἡτοίμασαν, ἄλλοι ἀποίσονται.
29
He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.
Οὔτε μὴ πλουτισθῇ, οὔτε μὴ μείνῃ αὐτοῦ τὰ ὑπάρχοντα· οὐ μὴ βάλῃ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν σκιὰν,
30
He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
οὐδὲ μὴ ἐκφύγῃ τὸ σκότος· τὸν βλαστὸν αὐτοῦ μαράναι ἄνεμος, ἐκπέσοι δὲ αὐτοῦ τὸ ἄνθος.
31
Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.
Μὴ πιστευέτω ὅτι ὑπομενεῖ, κενὰ γὰρ ἀποβήσεται αὐτῷ.
32
It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
Ἡ τομὴ αὐτοῦ πρὸ ὥρας φθαρήσεται, καὶ ὁ ῥάδαμνος αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ πυκάσῃ.
33
He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
Τρυγηθείη δὲ ὡς ὄμφαξ πρὸ ὥρας, ἐκπέσοι δὲ ὡς ἄνθος ἐλαίας.
34
For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
Μαρτύριον γὰρ ἀσεβοῦς θάνατος· πῦρ δὲ καύσει οἴκους δωροδεκτῶν·
35
They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
Ἐν γαστρὶ δὲ λήψεται ὀδύνας, ἀποβήσεται δὲ αὐτῷ κενὰ, ἡ δὲ κοιλία αὐτοῦ ὑποίσει δόλον.
