Job 26
1 Job replied [to Bildad], saying this [sarcastically]:
Και απεκρίθη ο Ιώβ και είπε·
2 “I am a very weak and helpless man; and (you [certainly] have not helped me [SAR] very much!/[do you think that] you have helped me [SAR] very much?) [RHQ]
Πόσον εβοήθησας τον αδύνατον· έσωσας βραχίονα ανίσχυρον.
3 (You certainly have counseled me well—I, who am not wise at all./[Do you think that] you have counseled me well—I, who am not wise at all?) [RHQ] ([I’m sure you think that] you have given a lot of very good advice to me. [RHQ]
Πόσον συνεβούλευσας τον άσοφον και εντελή σύνεσιν έδειξας
4 Who helped you to say all those [great/wise] things? Who inspired you to speak like you did?”
Προς τίνα απήγγειλας τους λόγους; και τίνος πνοή εξήλθεν από σου;
5 “[Because] the spirits of dead people [are afraid], [they] tremble in the waters that are deep under the earth.
Οι νεκροί τρέμουσιν αυτόν υποκάτωθεν των υδάτων, και οι συγκατοικούντες μετ' αυτών.
6 God knows all about [those who are in] the place of the dead; there is nothing down there that prevents God from seeing what is there. (Sheol h7585)
Γυμνός ο άδης έμπροσθεν αυτού, και η απώλεια δεν έχει σκέπασμα. (Sheol h7585)
7 God stretched out the earth over the huge empty space and caused the earth to have nothing [to support it].
Εκτείνει τον βορέαν επί το κενόν· κρεμά την γην επί το μηδέν.
8 He fills the thick/dense clouds with water and prevents that water from bursting the clouds.
Δεσμεύει τα ύδατα εις τας νεφέλας αυτού· και η νεφέλη δεν σχίζεται υποκάτω αυτών.
9 He causes clouds to (obscure/prevent us from seeing) the moon.
Σκεπάζει το πρόσωπον του θρόνου αυτού· εκτείνει το νέφος αυτού επ' αυτόν.
10 He separated the light from the darkness and put the horizon to mark the place where the night ends and the daytime begins.
Περιεκύκλωσε τα ύδατα με όρια, έως της συντελείας του φωτός και του σκότους.
11 When [he is angry, it is as though] he rebukes the pillars that hold up the sky. They are (shocked/very fearful), and they tremble.
Οι στύλοι του ουρανού τρέμουσι και εξίστανται από της επιτιμήσεως αυτού.
12 With his power he calmed the sea; with his skill/wisdom he destroyed Rahab, the huge sea monster.
Ταράττει την θάλασσαν διά της δυνάμεως αυτού, και διά της συνέσεως αυτού καταδαμάζει την υπερηφανίαν αυτής.
13 With his breath he caused the sky to be bright/clear; with his hand he killed the great dragon in the sea.
Διά του πνεύματος αυτού εκόσμησε τους ουρανούς· η χειρ αυτού εσχημάτισε τον συστρεφόμενον όφιν.
14 But those events show only a small amount of his power; [it is as though] we are hearing only whispers of his powerful voice. When we hear thunder, [we say, ] ‘(Who can really understand [how great] his power [is]/No one can [really] understand [how great] his power [is]!) [RHQ]’”
Ιδού, ταύτα είναι μέρη των οδών αυτού· αλλά πόσον ελάχιστον πράγμα ακούομεν περί αυτού; την δε βροντήν της δυνάμεως αυτού τις δύναται να εννοήση;
