Job 36
1 Elihu also proceeded and sayde,
προσθεὶς δὲ Ελιους ἔτι λέγει
2 Suffer me a litle, and I will instruct thee: for I haue yet to speake on Gods behalfe.
μεῖνόν με μικρὸν ἔτι ἵνα διδάξω σε ἔτι γὰρ ἐν ἐμοί ἐστιν λέξις
3 I will fetche my knowledge afarre off, and will attribute righteousnes vnto my Maker.
ἀναλαβὼν τὴν ἐπιστήμην μου μακρὰν ἔργοις δέ μου δίκαια ἐρῶ
4 For truely my wordes shall not be false, and he that is perfect in knowledge, speaketh with thee.
ἐπ’ ἀληθείας καὶ οὐκ ἄδικα ῥήματα ἀδίκως συνίεις
5 Behold, the mighty God casteth away none that is mighty and valiant of courage.
γίγνωσκε δὲ ὅτι ὁ κύριος οὐ μὴ ἀποποιήσηται τὸν ἄκακον δυνατὸς ἰσχύι καρδίας
6 He mainteineth not the wicked, but he giueth iudgement to the afflicted.
ἀσεβῆ οὐ μὴ ζωοποιήσει καὶ κρίμα πτωχῶν δώσει
7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous, but they are with Kings in ye throne, where he placeth them for euer: thus they are exalted.
οὐκ ἀφελεῖ ἀπὸ δικαίου ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ μετὰ βασιλέων εἰς θρόνον καὶ καθιεῖ αὐτοὺς εἰς νεῖκος καὶ ὑψωθήσονται
8 And if they bee bound in fetters and tyed with the cordes of affliction,
καὶ εἰ πεπεδημένοι ἐν χειροπέδαις συσχεθήσονται ἐν σχοινίοις πενίας
9 Then will he shewe them their worke and their sinnes, because they haue bene proude.
καὶ ἀναγγελεῖ αὐτοῖς τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ παραπτώματα αὐτῶν ὅτι ἰσχύσουσιν
10 He openeth also their eare to discipline, and commandeth them that they returne from iniquity.
ἀλλὰ τοῦ δικαίου εἰσακούσεται καὶ εἶπεν ὅτι ἐπιστραφήσονται ἐξ ἀδικίας
11 If they obey and serue him, they shall end their dayes in prosperity, and their yeres in pleasures.
ἐὰν ἀκούσωσιν καὶ δουλεύσωσιν συντελέσουσιν τὰς ἡμέρας αὐτῶν ἐν ἀγαθοῖς καὶ τὰ ἔτη αὐτῶν ἐν εὐπρεπείαις
12 But if they wil not obey, they shall passe by the sworde, and perish without knowledge.
ἀσεβεῖς δὲ οὐ διασῴζει παρὰ τὸ μὴ βούλεσθαι εἰδέναι αὐτοὺς τὸν κύριον καὶ διότι νουθετούμενοι ἀνήκοοι ἦσαν
13 But the hypocrites of heart increase the wrath: for they call not when he bindeth them.
καὶ ὑποκριταὶ καρδίᾳ τάξουσιν θυμόν οὐ βοήσονται ὅτι ἔδησεν αὐτούς
14 Their soule dyeth in youth, and their life among the whoremongers.
ἀποθάνοι τοίνυν ἐν νεότητι ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῶν ἡ δὲ ζωὴ αὐτῶν τιτρωσκομένη ὑπὸ ἀγγέλων
15 He deliuereth the poore in his affliction, and openeth their eare in trouble.
ἀνθ’ ὧν ἔθλιψαν ἀσθενῆ καὶ ἀδύνατον κρίμα δὲ πραέων ἐκθήσει
16 Euen so woulde he haue taken thee out of the streight place into a broade place and not shut vp beneath: and that which resteth vpon thy table, had bene full of fat.
καὶ προσέτι ἠπάτησέν σε ἐκ στόματος ἐχθροῦ ἄβυσσος κατάχυσις ὑποκάτω αὐτῆς καὶ κατέβη τράπεζά σου πλήρης πιότητος
17 But thou art ful of the iudgement of the wicked, though iudgement and equitie maintaine all things.
οὐχ ὑστερήσει δὲ ἀπὸ δικαίων κρίμα
18 For Gods wrath is, least hee should take that away in thine abundance: for no multitude of giftes can deliuer thee.
θυμὸς δὲ ἐπ’ ἀσεβεῖς ἔσται δῑ ἀσέβειαν δώρων ὧν ἐδέχοντο ἐπ’ ἀδικίαις
19 Wil he regard thy riches? he regardeth not golde, nor all them that excel in strength.
μή σε ἐκκλινάτω ἑκὼν ὁ νοῦς δεήσεως ἐν ἀνάγκῃ ὄντων ἀδυνάτων καὶ πάντας τοὺς κραταιοῦντας ἰσχύν
20 Be not carefull in the night, howe he destroyeth the people out of their place.
μὴ ἐξελκύσῃς τὴν νύκτα τοῦ ἀναβῆναι λαοὺς ἀντ’ αὐτῶν
21 Take thou heede: looke not to iniquitie: for thou hast chosen it rather then affliction.
ἀλλὰ φύλαξαι μὴ πράξῃς ἄτοπα ἐπὶ τοῦτον γὰρ ἐξείλω ἀπὸ πτωχείας
22 Beholde, God exalteth by his power: what teacher is like him?
ἰδοὺ ὁ ἰσχυρὸς κραταιώσει ἐν ἰσχύι αὐτοῦ τίς γάρ ἐστιν κατ’ αὐτὸν δυνάστης
23 Who hath appointed to him his way? or who can say, Thou hast done wickedly?
τίς δέ ἐστιν ὁ ἐτάζων αὐτοῦ τὰ ἔργα ἢ τίς ὁ εἴπας ἔπραξεν ἄδικα
24 Remember that thou magnifie his worke, which men behold.
μνήσθητι ὅτι μεγάλα ἐστὶν αὐτοῦ τὰ ἔργα ὧν ἦρξαν ἄνδρες
25 All men see it, and men beholde it afarre off.
πᾶς ἄνθρωπος εἶδεν ἐν ἑαυτῷ ὅσοι τιτρωσκόμενοί εἰσιν βροτοί
26 Beholde, God is excellent, and we knowe him not, neither can the nomber of his yeres bee searched out.
ἰδοὺ ὁ ἰσχυρὸς πολύς καὶ οὐ γνωσόμεθα ἀριθμὸς ἐτῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπέραντος
27 When he restraineth the droppes of water, the rayne powreth down by the vapour thereof,
ἀριθμηταὶ δὲ αὐτῷ σταγόνες ὑετοῦ καὶ ἐπιχυθήσονται ὑετῷ εἰς νεφέλην
28 Which raine the cloudes do droppe and let fall abundantly vpon man.
ῥυήσονται παλαιώματα ἐσκίασεν δὲ νέφη ἐπὶ ἀμυθήτων βροτῶν ὥραν ἔθετο κτήνεσιν οἴδασιν δὲ κοίτης τάξιν ἐπὶ τούτοις πᾶσιν οὐκ ἐξίσταταί σου ἡ διάνοια οὐδὲ διαλλάσσεταί σου ἡ καρδία ἀπὸ σώματος
29 Who can know the diuisions of ye clouds and the thunders of his tabernacle?
καὶ ἐὰν συνῇ ἀπεκτάσεις νεφέλης ἰσότητα σκηνῆς αὐτοῦ
30 Beholde, he spreadeth his light vpon it, and couereth the bottome of the sea.
ἰδοὺ ἐκτείνει ἐπ’ αὐτὸν ηδω καὶ ῥιζώματα τῆς θαλάσσης ἐκάλυψεν
31 For thereby hee iudgeth the people, and giueth meate abundantly.
ἐν γὰρ αὐτοῖς κρινεῖ λαούς δώσει τροφὴν τῷ ἰσχύοντι
32 He couereth the light with the clouds, and commandeth them to go against it.
ἐπὶ χειρῶν ἐκάλυψεν φῶς καὶ ἐνετείλατο περὶ αὐτῆς ἐν ἀπαντῶντι
33 His companion sheweth him thereof, and there is anger in rising vp.
ἀναγγελεῖ περὶ αὐτοῦ φίλον αὐτοῦ κτῆσις καὶ περὶ ἀδικίας
