Job

1 Then Job answered Yahweh, and said,

1 Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἰὼβ λέγει τῷ κυρίῳ	1 ὑπολαβών δὲ Ἰὼβ λέγει τῷ Κυρίῳ·
1 Then Job answered and said to the Lord,	1 Then Job answered and said to the Lord,

2 I know that you can do everything, and that no thought can be withheld from you.

2 Οἶδα ὅτι πάντα δύνασαι, ἀδυνατεῖ δέ σοί οὐθέν.	2 οἶδα ὅτι πάντα δύνασαι, ἀδυνατεῖ δέ σοι οὐδέν.
2 I know that you canst do all things, and nothing is impossible with you.	2 I know that you canst do all things, and nothing is impossible with you.

3 Who is he who hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know.

3 τίς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ κρύπτων σὲ βουλήν; φειδόμενος δὲ ῥημάτων καὶ σὲ οἴεται κρύπτειν; τίς δὲ ἀναγγελεῖ μοι ἃ οὐκ ᾔδειν, μεγάλα καὶ θαυμαστὰ ἃ οὐκ ἠπιστάμην;	3 τίς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ κρύπτων σε βουλήν; φειδόμενος δὲ ῥημάτων, καὶ σὲ οἴεται κρύπτειν; τίς δὲ ἀναγγελεῖ μοι ἃ οὐκ ᾔδειν, μεγάλα καὶ θαυμαστά, ἃ οὐκ ἐπιστάμην;
3 For who is he who hides counsel from you? or who keeps back his words, and thinks to hide them from you? and who will tell me what I didn’t know, great and wonderful things which I understood not?	3 For who is he who hides counsel from you? or who keeps back his words, and thinks to hide them from you? and who will tell me what I didn’t know, great and wonderful things which I understood not?

4 Hear, I beseech you, and I will speak: I will demand of you, and declare you to me.

4 ἄκουσον δέ μου, κύριε, ἵνα κἀγὼ λαλήσω· ἐρωτήσω δέ σε, σὺ δέ με δίδαξον.	4 ἄκουσον δέ μου, Κύριε, ἵνα κἀγὼ λαλήσω· ἐρωτήσω δέ σε, σὺ δέ με δίδαξον.
4 But hear me, Oh Lord, that I also may speak; and I will ask you, and do you teach me.	4 But hear me, Oh Lord, that I also may speak; and I will ask you, and do you teach me.

5 I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye sees you.

5 ἀκοὴν μὲν ὠτὸς ἤκουόν σου τὸ πρότερον, νυνὶ δὲ ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἑόρακέν σε·	5 ἀκοὴν μὲν ὠτὸς ἤκουόν σου τὸ πρότερον, νυνὶ δὲ ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἑώρακέ σε·
5 I have heard the report of you by the ear before; but now my eye has seen you.	5 I have heard the report of you by the ear before; but now my eye has seen you.

6 Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.

6 διὸ ἐφαύλισα ἐμαυτὸν καὶ ἐτάκην, ἥγημαι δὲ ἐμαυτὸν γῆν καὶ σποδόν.	6 διὸ ἐφαύλισα ἐμαυτὸν καὶ ἐτάκην, ἥγημαι δὲ ἐμαυτὸν γῆν καὶ σποδόν.
6 Therefore I have counted myself vile, and have fainted; and I esteem myself dust and ashes.	6 Therefore I have counted myself vile, and have fainted; and I esteem myself dust and ashes.

7 And it was so, that after Yahweh had spoken these words to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you haven’t spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

7 Ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ τὸ λαλῆσαι τὸν κύριον πάντα τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα τῷ Ἰὼβ εἶπεν ὁ κύριος Ἑλιφὰς τῷ Θαιμανίτῃ Ἥμαρτες σὺ καὶ οἱ δύο φίλοι σου· οὐ γὰρ ἐλαλήσατε ἐνώπιόν μου ἀληθὲς οὐδὲν ὥσπερ ὁ θεράπων μου Ἰώβ.	7 ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ τὸ λαλῆσαι τὸν Κύριον πάντα τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα τῷ Ἰώβ, εἶπε ὁ Κύριος Ἐλιφὰζ τῷ Θαιμανίτῃ· ἥμαρτες σὺ καὶ οἱ δύο φίλοι σου· οὐ γὰρ ἐλαλήσατε ἐνώπιόν μου ἀληθὲς οὐδὲν ὥσπερ ὁ θεράπων μου Ἰώβ.
7 And it happened after the Lord had spoken all these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Thaemanite, You have sinned, and your two friends; for you haven’t said anything true before me, as my servant Job has.	7 And it happened after the Lord had spoken all these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Thaemanite, You have sinned, and your two friends; for you haven’t said anything true before me, as my servant Job has.

8 Therefore take to you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you; for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that you haven’t spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.

8 νῦν δὲ λάβετε ἑπτὰ μόσχους καὶ ἑπτὰ κριοὺς καὶ πορεύθητε πρὸς τὸν θεράποντά μου Ἰώβ, καὶ ποιήσει κάρπωσιν περὶ ὑμῶν· Ἰὼβ δὲ ὁ θεράπων μου εὔξεται περὶ ὑμῶν, ὅτι εἰ μὴ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ λήμψομαι· εἰ μὴ γὰρ δι’ αὐτόν, ἀπώλεσα ἄν ὑμᾶς· οὐ γὰρ ἐλαλήσατε ἀληθὲς κατὰ τοῦ θεράποντός μου Ἰώβ.	8 νῦν δὲ λάβετε ἑπτὰ μόσχους καὶ ἑπτὰ κριοὺς καὶ πορεύθητε πρὸς τὸν θεράποντά μου Ἰώβ, καὶ ποιήσει κάρπωσιν ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν. Ἰὼβ δὲ ὁ θεράπων μου εὔξεται περὶ ὑμῶν, ὅτι εἰ μὴ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ λήψομαι· εἰ μὴ γὰρ δι’ αὐτόν, ἀπώλεσα ἄν ὑμᾶς· οὐ γὰρ ἐλαλήσατε ἀληθὲς κατὰ τοῦ θεράποντός μου Ἰώβ.
8 Now then take seven bullocks, and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and he shall offer a burnt-offering for you. And my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will only accept him; for but his sake, I would have destroyed you, for you haven’t spoken the truth against my servant Job.	8 Now then take seven bullocks, and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and he shall offer a burnt-offering for you. And my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will only accept him; for but his sake, I would have destroyed you, for you haven’t spoken the truth against my servant Job.

9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as Yahweh commanded them: Yahweh also accepted Job.

9 ἐπορεύθη δὲ Ἑλιφὰς ὁ Θαιμανίτης καὶ Βαλδὰδ ὁ Σαυχίτης καὶ Σωφὰρ ὁ Μιναῖος καὶ ἐποίησαν καθὼς συνέταξεν αὐτοῖς ὁ κύριος, καὶ ἔλυσεν τὴν ἁμαρτίαν αὐτοῖς διὰ Ἰώβ.	9 ἐπορεύθης δὲ Ἐλιφὰζ ὁ Θαιμανίτης καὶ Βαλδὰδ ὁ Σαυχίτης καὶ Σωφὰρ ὁ Μιναῖος καὶ ἐποίησαν καθὼς συνέταξεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Κύριος, καὶ ἔλυσε τὴν ἁμαρτίαν αὐτοῖς διὰ Ἰώβ.
9 So Eliphaz the Thaemanite, and Baldad the Sauchite, and Sōphar the Minaean, went and did as the Lord commanded them; and he pardoned their sin for the sake of Job.	9 So Eliphaz the Thaemanite, and Baldad the Sauchite, and Sōphar the Minaean, went and did as the Lord commanded them; and he pardoned their sin for the sake of Job.

10 And Yahweh turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also Yahweh gave Job twice as much as he had before.

10 ὁ δὲ κύριος ηὔξησεν τὸν Ἰώβ· εὐξαμένου δὲ αὐτοῦ καὶ περὶ τῶν φίλων αὐτοῦ ἀφῆκεν αὐτοῖς τὴν ἁμαρτίαν· ἔδωκεν δὲ ὁ κύριος διπλᾶ ὅσα ἦν ἔμπροσθεν Ἰὼβ εἰς διπλασιασμόν.	10 ὁ δὲ Κύριος ηὔξησε τὸν Ἰώβ· εὐξαμένου δὲ αὐτοῦ καὶ περὶ τῶν φίλων αὐτοῦ, ἀφῆκεν αὐτοῖς τὴν ἁμαρτίαν. ἔδωκε δὲ ὁ Κύριος διπλᾶ ὅσα ἦν ἔμπροσθεν Ἰὼβ εἰς διπλασιασμόν.
10 And the Lord prospered Job; and when he prayed also for his friends, he forgave them their sin; and the Lord gave Job twice as much, even the double of what he had before.	10 And the Lord prospered Job; and when he prayed also for his friends, he forgave them their sin; and the Lord gave Job twice as much, even the double of what he had before.

11 Then came there to him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all they who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house; and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that Yahweh had brought on him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and everyone an earring of gold.

11 ἤκουσαν δὲ πάντες οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ αἱ ἀδελφαὶ αὐτοῦ πάντα τὰ συμβεβηκότα αὐτῷ καὶ ἦλθον πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ πάντες ὅσοι ᾔδεισαν αὐτὸν ἐκ πρώτου· φαγόντες δὲ καὶ πιόντες παρ’ αὐτῷ παρεκάλεσαν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐθαύμασαν ἐπὶ πᾶσιν, οἷς ἐπήγαγεν αὐτῷ ὁ κύριος· ἔδωκεν δὲ αὐτῷ ἕκαστος ἀμνάδα μίαν καὶ τετράδραχμον χρυσοῦν ἄσημον.	11 ἤκουσαν δὲ πάντες οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ αἱ ἀδελφαὶ αὐτοῦ πάντα τὰ συμβεβηκότα αὐτῷ καὶ ἦλθον πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ πάντες ὅσοι ᾔδεισαν αὐτὸν ἐκ πρώτου· φαγόντες δὲ καὶ πιόντες παρ’ αὐτῷ παρεκάλεσαν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐθαύμασαν ἐπὶ πᾶσιν, οἷς ἐπήγαγεν ἐπ’ αὐτῷ ὁ Κύριος. ἔδωκε δὲ αὐτῷ ἕκαστος ἀμνάδα μίαν καὶ τετράδραχμον χρυσοῦ καὶ ἀσήμου.
11 And all his brothers and his sisters heard all that had happened to him, and they came to him, and so did all that had known him from the first; and they ate and drank with him, and comforted him, and wondered at all that the Lord had brought on him; and each one gave him a lamb, and four drachms’ weight of gold, even of unstamped gold.	11 And all his brothers and his sisters heard all that had happened to him, and they came to him, and so did all that had known him from the first; and they ate and drank with him, and comforted him, and wondered at all that the Lord had brought on him; and each one gave him a lamb, and four drachms’ weight of gold, even of unstamped gold.

12 So Yahweh blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning; for he had 14,000 sheep, and 6000 camels, and 1000 yoke of oxen, and 1000 female donkeys.

12 ὁ δὲ κύριος εὐλόγησεν τὰ ἔσχατα Ἰὼβ ἢ τὰ ἔμπροσθεν· ἦν δὲ τὰ κτήνη αὐτοῦ πρόβατα μύρια τετρακισχίλια, κάμηλοι ἑξακισχίλιαι, ζεύγη βοῶν χίλια, ὄνοι θήλειαι νομάδες χίλιαι.	12 ὁ δὲ Κύριος εὐλόγησε τὰ ἔσχατα Ἰὼβ ἢ τὰ ἔμπροσθεν· ἦν δὲ τὰ κτήνη αὐτοῦ πρόβατα μύρια τετρακισχίλια, κάμηλοι ἑξακισχίλιαι, ζεύγη βοῶν χίλια, ὄνοι θήλειαι νομάδες χίλιαι.
12 And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job, more than the beginning; and his cattle were 14,000 sheep, 6000 camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, a thousand she-donkeys of the pastures.	12 And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job, more than the beginning; and his cattle were 14,000 sheep, 6000 camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, a thousand she-donkeys of the pastures.

13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.

13 γεννῶνται δὲ αὐτῷ υἱοὶ ἑπτὰ καὶ θυγατέρες τρεῖς·	13 γεννῶνται δὲ αὐτῷ υἱοὶ ἑπτὰ καὶ θυγατέρες τρεῖς·
13 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.	13 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.

14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.

14 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὴν μὲν πρώτην Ἡμέραν, τὴν δὲ δευτέραν Κασίαν, τὴν δὲ τρίτην Ἀμαλθείας κέρας·	14 καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὴν μὲν πρώτην Ἡμέραν, τὴν δὲ δευτέραν Κασίαν, τὴν δὲ τρίτην Ἀμαλθαίας κέρας.
14 And he called the first Day, and the second Casia, and the third Amalthaea’s horn.	14 And he called the first Day, and the second Casia, and the third Amalthaea’s horn.

15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.

15 καὶ οὐχ εὑρέθησαν κατὰ τὰς θυγατέρας Ἰὼβ βελτίους αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ ὑπ’ οὐρανόν· ἔδωκεν δὲ αὐταῖς ὁ πατὴρ κληρονομίαν ἐν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς.	15 καὶ οὐχ εὑρέθησαν κατὰ τὰς θυγατέρας Ἰὼβ βελτίους αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ ὑπ’ οὐρανόν· ἔδωκε δὲ αὐταῖς ὁ πατὴρ κληρονομίαν ἐν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς.
15 And there were not found in comparison with the daughters of Job, fairer women than they in all the world; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.	15 And there were not found in comparison with the daughters of Job, fairer women than they in all the world; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.

16 After this lived Job 100 and 40 years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations.

16 ἔζησεν δὲ Ἰὼβ μετὰ τὴν πληγὴν ἔτη ἑκατὸν ἑβδομήκοντα, τὰ δὲ πάντα ἔζησεν ἔτη διακόσια τεσσαράκοντα ὀκτώ· καὶ εἶδεν Ἰὼβ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ τετάρτην γενεάν·	16 ἔζησε δὲ Ἰὼβ μετὰ τὴν πληγὴν ἔτη ἑκατὸν ἑβδομήκοντα, τὰ δὲ πάντα ἔτη ἔζησε διακόσια τεσσαράκοντα· καὶ εἶδεν Ἰὼβ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ, τετάρτην γενεάν.
16 And Job lived after his affliction 170 years; and all the years he lived were 240; and Job saw his sons and his sons’ sons, the fourth generation.	16 And Job lived after his affliction 170 years; and all the years he lived were 240; and Job saw his sons and his sons’ sons, the fourth generation.

17 So Job died, being old and full of days.

17 καὶ ἐτελεύτησεν Ἰὼβ πρεσβύτερος καὶ πλήρης ἡμερῶν.	17 καὶ ἐτελεύτησεν Ἰὼβ πρεσβύτερος καὶ πλήρης ἡμερῶν.
17 And Job died, an old man and full of days.	17 And Job died, an old man and full of days.
