| [1]ὑπολαβὼν δὲ βαλδαδ ὁ σαυχίτης λέγει |
[1]And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: -- |
| [2]μέχρι τίνος οὐ παύσῃ ἐπίσχες ἵνα καὶ αὐτοὶ λαλήσωμεν |
[2]When do ye set an end to words? Consider ye, and afterwards do we speak. |
| [3]διὰ τί ὥσπερ τετράποδα σεσιωπήκαμεν ἐναντίον σου |
[3]Wherefore have we been reckoned as cattle? We have been defiled in your eyes! |
| [4]κέχρηταί σοι ὀργή τί γάρ ἐὰν σὺ ἀποθάνῃς ἀοίκητος ἡ ὑπ οὐρανόν ἢ καταστραφήσεται ὄρη ἐκ θεμελίων |
[4](He is tearing himself in his anger.) For thy sake is earth forsaken? And removed is a rock from its place? |
| [5]καὶ φῶς ἀσεβῶν σβεσθήσεται καὶ οὐκ ἀποβήσεται αὐτῶν ἡ φλόξ |
[5]Also, the light of the wicked is extinguished. And there doth not shine a spark of his fire. |
| [6]τὸ φῶς αὐτοῦ σκότος ἐν διαίτῃ ὁ δὲ λύχνος ἐπ αὐτῷ σβεσθήσεται |
[6]The light hath been dark in his tent, And his lamp over him is extinguished. |
| [7]θηρεύσαισαν ἐλάχιστοι τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ σφάλαι δὲ αὐτοῦ ἡ βουλή |
[7]Straitened are the steps of his strength, And cast him down doth his own counsel. |
| [8]ἐμβέβληται δὲ ὁ ποὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν παγίδι ἐν δικτύῳ ἑλιχθείη |
[8]For he is sent into a net by his own feet, And on a snare he doth walk habitually. |
| [9]ἔλθοισαν δὲ ἐπ αὐτὸν παγίδες κατισχύσει ἐπ αὐτὸν διψῶντας |
[9]Seize on the heel doth a gin, Prevail over him do the designing. |
| [10]κέκρυπται ἐν τῇ γῇ σχοινίον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ σύλλημψις αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τρίβων |
[10]Hidden in the earth is his cord, And his trap on the path. |
| [11]κύκλῳ ὀλέσαισαν αὐτὸν ὀδύναι πολλοὶ δὲ περὶ πόδας αὐτοῦ ἔλθοισαν ἐν λιμῷ στενῷ |
[11]Round about terrified him have terrors, And they have scattered him -- at his feet. |
| [12]πτῶμα δὲ αὐτῷ ἡτοίμασται ἐξαίσιον |
[12]Hungry is his sorrow, And calamity is ready at his side. |
| [13]βρωθείησαν αὐτοῦ κλῶνες ποδῶν κατέδεται δὲ τὰ ὡραῖα αὐτοῦ θάνατος |
[13]It consumeth the parts of his skin, Consume his parts doth death's first-born. |
| [14]ἐκραγείη δὲ ἐκ διαίτης αὐτοῦ ἴασις σχοίη δὲ αὐτὸν ἀνάγκη αἰτίᾳ βασιλικῇ |
[14]Drawn from his tent is his confidence, And it causeth him to step to the king of terrors. |
| [15]κατασκηνώσει ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ αὐτοῦ ἐν νυκτὶ αὐτοῦ κατασπαρήσονται τὰ εὐπρεπῆ αὐτοῦ θείῳ |
[15]It dwelleth in his tent -- out of his provender, Scattered over his habitation is sulphur. |
| [16]ὑποκάτωθεν αἱ ῥίζαι αὐτοῦ ξηρανθήσονται καὶ ἐπάνωθεν ἐπιπεσεῖται θερισμὸς αὐτοῦ |
[16]From beneath his roots are dried up, And from above cut off is his crop. |
| [17]τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτοῦ ἀπόλοιτο ἐκ γῆς καὶ ὑπάρχει ὄνομα αὐτῷ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐξωτέρω |
[17]His memorial hath perished from the land, And he hath no name on the street. |
| [18]ἀπώσειεν αὐτὸν ἐκ φωτὸς εἰς σκότος |
[18]They thrust him from light unto darkness, And from the habitable earth cast him out. |
| [19]οὐκ ἔσται ἐπίγνωστος ἐν λαῷ αὐτοῦ οὐδὲ σεσῳσμένος ἐν τῇ ὑπ οὐρανὸν ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ ἀλλ ἐν τοῖς αὐτοῦ ζήσονται ἕτεροι |
[19]He hath no continuator, Nor successor among his people, And none is remaining in his dwellings. |
| [20]ἐπ αὐτῷ ἐστέναξαν ἔσχατοι πρώτους δὲ ἔσχεν θαῦμα |
[20]At this day westerns have been astonished And easterns have taken fright. |
| [21]οὗτοί εἰσιν οἶκοι ἀδίκων οὗτος δὲ ὁ τόπος τῶν μὴ εἰδότων τὸν κύριον |
[21]Only these [are] tabernacles of the perverse, And this the place God hath not known. |
