Job 19
1 Then Job replied:
Και απεκρίθη ο Ιώβ και είπεν·
2 “How long will you [three] torment me and crush my spirit by saying to me [that I am wicked]?
Έως πότε θέλετε θλίβει την ψυχήν μου, και θέλετε με κατασυντρίβει με λόγους;
3 You have already insulted me many [HYP] times; (are you not ashamed for saying these things to me?/you should be ashamed for saying these things to me.) [RHQ]
Δεκάκις ήδη με ωνειδίσατε· δεν αισχύνεσθε να σκληρύνησθε εναντίον μου;
4 Even if it were true that I have done things that are wrong, I have not injured you!
Και εάν τωόντι έσφαλα, το σφάλμα μου μένει εν εμοί.
5 If you truly think that you are better than I am, and you think that my being miserable now proves that I (am guilty/have committed many sins),
Αλλ' εάν θέλητε εξάπαντος να μεγαλυνθήτε εναντίον μου, και να ρίπτητε κατ' εμού το όνειδός μου,
6 you need to realize that it is God who has caused me to suffer. [It is as though] he has trapped me with his net.
μάθετε τώρα ότι ο Θεός με κατέστρεψε, και με περιεκύκλωσε με το δίκτυον αυτού.
7 “I cry out, ‘Help me!’, but no one answers me. I call out loudly, but there is no one, [not even God, ] who acts fairly toward me.
Ιδού, φωνάζω, Αδικία· αλλά δεν εισακούομαι· επικαλούμαι, αλλ' ουδεμία κρίσις.
8 [It is as though] [MET] God has blocked my way, with the result that I cannot go where I want to; [it is as though] he has forced me to try to find my way in the darkness.
Έφραξε την οδόν μου, και δεν δύναμαι να περάσω, και έθεσε σκότος εις τας τρίβους μου.
9 He has (taken away my good reputation/caused people not to honor me any more); [it is as though] he removed [MET] a crown from my head.
Με εξέδυσε την δόξαν μου, και αφήρεσε τον στέφανον της κεφαλής μου.
10 He batters me from every side, and I will soon die. He has caused me to no longer confidently expect [him to do good things for me].
Με ηφάνισε πανταχόθεν, και χάνομαι· και εξερρίζωσε την ελπίδα μου ως δένδρον.
11 He attacks me because he is extremely angry with me [MET], and he considers that I am his enemy.
Και εξήψε κατ' εμού τον θυμόν αυτού, και με στοχάζεται ως εχθρόν αυτού.
12 [It is as though] he sends his army to attack me; they surround my tent, preparing to attack me.
Τα τάγματα αυτού ήλθον ομού και ητοίμασαν την οδόν αυτών εναντίον μου, και εστρατοπέδευσαν πέριξ της σκηνής μου.
13 “God has caused my brothers to abandon me, and all those who know me act like strangers to me.
Απεμάκρυνεν απ' εμού τους αδελφούς μου, και ηλλοτριώθησαν όλως απ' εμού οι γνώριμοί μου.
14 All my relatives and good friends have left me.
Οι πλησίον μου με αφήκαν, και οι γνωστοί μου με ελησμόνησαν.
15 The people who were guests in my house have forgotten me, and my female servants consider that I am a stranger or that I am a foreigner.
Οι κατοικούντες εν τω οίκω μου και αι θεράπαιναί μου με στοχάζονται ως ξένον· ξένος κατεστάθην εις τους οφθαλμούς αυτών.
16 When I summon my servants, they do not answer; I plead with them to come [to help me, but they do not come].
Καλώ τον υπηρέτην μου, και δεν αποκρίνεται· με το στόμα μου ικέτευσα αυτόν.
17 My wife does not want to come close to me because my breath [smells very bad], and even my brothers detest me.
Η πνοή μου έγεινε ξένη εις την γυναίκα μου, και αι παρακλήσεις μου εις τα τέκνα της κοιλίας μου.
18 Even young children despise me; when I stand up [to talk to them], they laugh at me.
Και αυτά τα παιδάρια με κατεφρόνησαν· εσηκώθην, και ελάλησαν εναντίον μου.
19 My dearest friends detest me, and those whom I love [very much] have turned against me.
Πάντες οι μυστικοί φίλοι μου με εβδελύχθησαν· και εκείνοι, τους οποίους ηγάπησα, εστράφησαν εναντίον μου.
20 My body is [only] skin and bones; I am barely alive [IDM].
Τα οστά μου εκολλήθησαν εις το δέρμα μου και εις την σάρκα μου και διεσώθην με το δέρμα των οδόντων μου.
21 [“I plead with] you, my [three] friends, pity me, because God has (struck [EUP] me with his hand/caused me to suffer greatly).
Ελεήσατέ με, ελεήσατέ με, σεις φίλοι μου· διότι χειρ Θεού με επλήγωσε.
22 Why do you cause me to suffer like God does? Why do you continue to slander [MET] me?
Διά τι με κατατρέχετε ως ο Θεός, και δεν εχορτάσθητε από των σαρκών μου;
23 “I wish/desire that someone would take these words of mine and write them permanently in a book [in order that people can read them].
Ω και να εγράφοντο οι λόγοι μου· να ενετυπούντο εν βιβλίω·
24 Or else, I wish that he would carve them on a rock with (a chisel/an iron tool) in order that they would last forever.
να ενεχαράττοντο επί βράχον διά σιδηράς γραφίδος και μολύβδου διαπαντός
25 But I know that the one who vindicates/defends me in court is alive, and that some day he will stand [here] on the earth [and make the final decision about whether I deserve to be punished].
Διότι εξεύρω ότι ζη ο Λυτρωτής μου, και θέλει εγερθή εν τοις εσχάτοις καιροίς επί της γής·
26 And even after diseases have eaten away my skin, while I still have my body, I will see God.
και αφού μετά το δέρμα μου το σώμα τούτο φθαρή, πάλιν με την σάρκα μου θέλω ιδή τον Θεόν·
27 I will see him myself; I will see him with my own eyes! I am overwhelmed [as I think about that]!
τον οποίον αυτός εγώ θέλω ιδεί, και θέλουσι θεωρήσει οι οφθαλμοί μου, και ουχί άλλος· οι νεφροί μου κατατήκονται εν τω κόλπω μου.
28 “If you three men say, ‘What more can we do to cause Job to suffer?’ and if you say, ‘He has caused his own [troubles],’
Αλλά σεις έπρεπε να είπητε, Διά τι κατατρέχομεν αυτόν; επειδή η ρίζα του πράγματος ευρίσκεται εν εμοί.
29 you should be afraid that God will punish [MTY] you; he punishes those [like you] with whom he is angry; and when that happens, you will know that there is [someone who] judges [people].”
Φοβήθητε την ρομφαίαν· διότι η ρομφαία είναι ο εκδικητής των ανομιών, διά να γνωρίσητε ότι υπάρχει κρίσις.
