Job 5
1 Call nowe, if any will answere thee, and to which of the Saintes wilt thou turne?
ἐπικάλεσαι δέ εἴ τίς σοι ὑπακούσεται ἢ εἴ τινα ἀγγέλων ἁγίων ὄψῃ
2 Doubtlesse anger killeth the foolish, and enuie slayeth the idiote.
καὶ γὰρ ἄφρονα ἀναιρεῖ ὀργή πεπλανημένον δὲ θανατοῖ ζῆλος
3 I haue seene the foolish well rooted, and suddenly I cursed his habitation, saying,
ἐγὼ δὲ ἑώρακα ἄφρονας ῥίζαν βάλλοντας ἀλλ’ εὐθέως ἐβρώθη αὐτῶν ἡ δίαιτα
4 His children shalbe farre from saluation, and they shall be destroyed in the gate, and none shall deliuer them.
πόρρω γένοιντο οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν ἀπὸ σωτηρίας κολαβρισθείησαν δὲ ἐπὶ θύραις ἡσσόνων καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ ἐξαιρούμενος
5 The hungrie shall eate vp his haruest: yea, they shall take it from among the thornes, and the thirstie shall drinke vp their substance.
ἃ γὰρ ἐκεῖνοι συνήγαγον δίκαιοι ἔδονται αὐτοὶ δὲ ἐκ κακῶν οὐκ ἐξαίρετοι ἔσονται ἐκσιφωνισθείη αὐτῶν ἡ ἰσχύς
6 For miserie commeth not foorth of the dust, neither doeth affliction spring out of the earth.
οὐ γὰρ μὴ ἐξέλθῃ ἐκ τῆς γῆς κόπος οὐδὲ ἐξ ὀρέων ἀναβλαστήσει πόνος
7 But man is borne vnto trauaile, as the sparkes flie vpwarde.
ἀλλὰ ἄνθρωπος γεννᾶται κόπῳ νεοσσοὶ δὲ γυπὸς τὰ ὑψηλὰ πέτονται
8 But I would inquire at God, and turne my talke vnto God:
οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ ἐγὼ δεηθήσομαι κυρίου κύριον δὲ τὸν πάντων δεσπότην ἐπικαλέσομαι
9 Which doeth great things and vnsearchable, and marueilous things without nomber.
τὸν ποιοῦντα μεγάλα καὶ ἀνεξιχνίαστα ἔνδοξά τε καὶ ἐξαίσια ὧν οὐκ ἔστιν ἀριθμός
10 He giueth raine vpon the earth, and powreth water vpon the streetes,
τὸν διδόντα ὑετὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἀποστέλλοντα ὕδωρ ἐπὶ τὴν ὑπ’ οὐρανόν
11 And setteth vp on hie them that be lowe, that the sorowfull may be exalted to saluation.
τὸν ποιοῦντα ταπεινοὺς εἰς ὕψος καὶ ἀπολωλότας ἐξεγείροντα
12 He scattereth the deuices of the craftie: so that their handes can not accomplish that which they doe enterprise.
διαλλάσσοντα βουλὰς πανούργων καὶ οὐ μὴ ποιήσουσιν αἱ χεῖρες αὐτῶν ἀληθές
13 He taketh the wise in their craftinesse, and the counsel of the wicked is made foolish.
ὁ καταλαμβάνων σοφοὺς ἐν τῇ φρονήσει βουλὴν δὲ πολυπλόκων ἐξέστησεν
14 They meete with darkenesse in the day time, and grope at noone day, as in the night.
ἡμέρας συναντήσεται αὐτοῖς σκότος τὸ δὲ μεσημβρινὸν ψηλαφήσαισαν ἴσα νυκτί
15 But he saueth the poore from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hande of the violent man,
ἀπόλοιντο δὲ ἐν πολέμῳ ἀδύνατος δὲ ἐξέλθοι ἐκ χειρὸς δυνάστου
16 So that the poore hath his hope, but iniquitie shall stop her mouth.
εἴη δὲ ἀδυνάτῳ ἐλπίς ἀδίκου δὲ στόμα ἐμφραχθείη
17 Beholde, blessed is the man whome God correcteth: therefore refuse not thou the chastising of the Almightie.
μακάριος δὲ ἄνθρωπος ὃν ἤλεγξεν ὁ κύριος νουθέτημα δὲ παντοκράτορος μὴ ἀπαναίνου
18 For he maketh the wound, and bindeth it vp: he smiteth, and his handes make whole.
αὐτὸς γὰρ ἀλγεῖν ποιεῖ καὶ πάλιν ἀποκαθίστησιν ἔπαισεν καὶ αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ἰάσαντο
19 He shall deliuer thee in sixe troubles, and in the seuenth the euill shall not touch thee.
ἑξάκις ἐξ ἀναγκῶν σε ἐξελεῖται ἐν δὲ τῷ ἑβδόμῳ οὐ μὴ ἅψηταί σου κακόν
20 In famine he shall deliuer thee from death: and in battel from the power of the sworde.
ἐν λιμῷ ῥύσεταί σε ἐκ θανάτου ἐν πολέμῳ δὲ ἐκ χειρὸς σιδήρου λύσει σε
21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue, and thou shalt not be afraid of destruction when it commeth.
ἀπὸ μάστιγος γλώσσης σε κρύψει καὶ οὐ μὴ φοβηθῇς ἀπὸ κακῶν ἐρχομένων
22 But thou shalt laugh at destruction and dearth, and shalt not be afraide of the beast of the earth.
ἀδίκων καὶ ἀνόμων καταγελάσῃ ἀπὸ δὲ θηρίων ἀγρίων οὐ μὴ φοβηθῇς
23 For the stones of the fielde shall be in league with thee, and the beastes of the field shall be at peace with thee.
θῆρες γὰρ ἄγριοι εἰρηνεύσουσίν σοι
24 And thou shalt knowe, that peace shall be in thy tabernacle, and thou shalt visite thine habitation, and shalt not sinne.
εἶτα γνώσῃ ὅτι εἰρηνεύσει σου ὁ οἶκος ἡ δὲ δίαιτα τῆς σκηνῆς σου οὐ μὴ ἁμάρτῃ
25 Thou shalt perceiue also, that thy seede shalbe great, and thy posteritie as the grasse of the earth.
γνώσῃ δὲ ὅτι πολὺ τὸ σπέρμα σου τὰ δὲ τέκνα σου ἔσται ὥσπερ τὸ παμβότανον τοῦ ἀγροῦ
26 Thou shalt goe to thy graue in a ful age, as a ricke of corne commeth in due season into the barne.
ἐλεύσῃ δὲ ἐν τάφῳ ὥσπερ σῖτος ὥριμος κατὰ καιρὸν θεριζόμενος ἢ ὥσπερ θιμωνιὰ ἅλωνος καθ’ ὥραν συγκομισθεῖσα
27 Lo, thus haue we inquired of it, and so it is: heare this and knowe it for thy selfe.
ἰδοὺ ταῦτα οὕτως ἐξιχνιάσαμεν ταῦτά ἐστιν ἃ ἀκηκόαμεν σὺ δὲ γνῶθι σεαυτῷ εἴ τι ἔπραξας
