Ἰώβ 18
1 Και απεκρίθη Βιλδάδ ο Σαυχίτης και είπεν·
Then Bildad replied [again]:
2 Έως πότε δεν θέλετε τελειώσει τους λόγους; προσέξατε, και έπειτα θέλομεν λαλήσει.
“When are you going to stop talking [RHQ]? If you would stop talking and listen, we could tell you something.
3 Διά τι λογιζόμεθα ως τετράποδα, και εξαχρειούμεθα έμπροσθέν σας;
Why do you think that we are [as stupid] as cattle? [DOU, RHQ]
4 Ω διασπαράττων την ψυχήν σου εν τω θυμώ σου, διά σε η γη θέλει εγκαταλειφθή; και ο βράχος θέλει μετακινηθή από του τόπου αυτού;
By being [very] angry and hurting yourself, do you think that doing that will shake the earth, or cause the rocks in the mountains to move? [RHQ]?
5 Βεβαίως το φως των ασεβών θέλει σβεσθή, και ο σπινθήρ του πυρός αυτών δεν θέλει αναλάμψει·
“What will happen is that the lives of wicked people [like you] end [as quickly as we can] put out a light or extinguish the flame of a fire.
6 το φως θέλει είσθαι σκότος εν τη σκηνή αυτού, και ο λύχνος αυτού άνωθεν αυτού θέλει σβεσθή·
And when the lamps above them [in their tents] are extinguished, there will be no light in those tents.
7 τα βήματα της δυνάμεως αυτού θέλουσι συσταλθή, και η βουλή αυτού θέλει κατακρημνίσει αυτόν.
[For many years] they walked confidently, but later [in life it was as though] they stumbled and fell, because [they themselves did not heed] the advice [that they gave to others].
8 Διότι με τους εαυτού πόδας ερρίφθη εις δίκτυον, και περιπατεί επί βρόχων.
[It was as though] they walked into their own net or fell into a pit that they themselves have dug.
9 Παγίς θέλει συλλάβει αυτόν από της πτέρνας· ο κλέπτης θέλει υπερισχύσει κατ' αυτού.
[It was as though] a trap grabbed their heels and held them fast [DOU],
10 Η παγίς αυτού είναι κεκρυμμένη εν τη γη, και η ενέδρα αυτού επί της οδού.
[as though the noose of] a rope that was hidden on the ground, [whose other end was fastened to the limb of a tree], seized them when they walked into it.
11 Τρόμοι θέλουσι φοβίζει αυτόν κυκλόθεν, και θέλουσι καταδιώκει αυτόν κατά πόδας.
Everywhere they went, there were things that caused them to be terrified; [it was as though] those things were pursuing them and biting at their heels.
12 Η δύναμις αυτού θέλει λιμοκτονήσει, και όλεθρος θέλει είσθαι έτοιμος εις την πλευράν αυτού.
They became hungry, with the result that they had no strength. They experienced disasters [PRS] constantly.
13 Πρωτότοκος θάνατος θέλει καταφάγει το κάλλος του δέρματος αυτού· το κάλλος αυτού θέλει καταφάγει.
Diseases spread all over their skin/bodies; diseases that (caused their bodies to decay/destroyed their arms and legs).
14 Το θάρρος αυτού θέλει εκριζωθή από της σκηνής αυτού, και αυτός θέλει συρθή προς τον βασιλέα των τρόμων.
[When they died, ] they were snatched away from their tents and brought to the one who rules over the dead.
15 Ούτοι θέλουσι κατοικήσει εν τη σκηνή αυτού, ήτις δεν είναι πλέον αυτού· θείον θέλει διασπαρή επί την κατοικίαν αυτού.
Now their tents will burn down, when burning sulfur rains down on those tents!
16 Υποκάτωθεν αι ρίζαι αυτού θέλουσι ξηρανθή, και επάνωθεν θέλει κοπή ο κλάδος αυτού.
[Because those who died had no descendants], they were [like trees whose] roots have dried up and whose branches have all withered [MET].
17 Το μνημόσυνον αυτού θέλει εξαλειφθή από της γης, και δεν θέλει υπάρχει πλέον το όνομα αυτού εν ταις πλατείαις.
No one on the earth will remember them any more; no [one on any] street [will even remember] their names [MTY].
18 Θέλει εξωσθή από του φωτός εις το σκότος, και θέλει εκβληθή από του κόσμου.
They will be expelled from the earth where there is light, and they will be sent into the place where it is dark.
19 Δεν θέλει έχει ούτε υιόν ούτε έγγονον μεταξύ του λαού αυτού, ουδέ υπόλοιπον εν ταις κατοικίαις αυτού.
They will have no children or grandchildren, no descendants where they previously lived.
20 Οι μεταγενέστεροι θέλουσιν εκπλαγή διά την ημέραν αυτού, καθώς οι προγενέστεροι έλαβον φρίκην.
People from the east to the west [who hear about what happened to them], will be shocked and horrified.
21 Βεβαίως τοιαύται είναι αι κατοικίαι του ασεβούς, και ούτος ο τόπος του μη γνωρίζοντος τον Θεόν.
And that is what happens to ungodly/sinful people [like you], to people who (have no interest in/have rejected) God.”
