Job 35

Moreover Eliu spoke these words:

Igitur Eliu hæc rursum locutus est:

ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ελιους λέγει

Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say: I am more just than God?

Numquid æqua tibi videtur tua cogitatio, ut diceres : Justior sum Deo?

τί τοῦτο ἡγήσω ἐν κρίσει σὺ τίς εἶ ὅτι εἶπας δίκαιός εἰμι ἔναντι κυρίου

For thou saidst: That which is right doth not please thee: or what will it profit thee if I sin?

Dixisti enim : Non tibi placet quod rectum est : vel quid tibi proderit, si ego peccavero?

ἢ ἐρεῖς τί ποιήσω ἁμαρτών

Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee.

Itaque ego respondebo sermonibus tuis, et amicis tuis tecum.

ἐγὼ σοὶ δώσω ἀπόκρισιν καὶ τοῖς τρισὶν φίλοις σου

Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee.

Suspice cælum, et intuere : et contemplare æthera quod altior te sit.

ἀνάβλεψον εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἰδέ κατάμαθε δὲ νέφη ὡς ὑψηλὰ ἀπὸ σοῦ

If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? and if thy iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him?

Si peccaveris, quid ei nocebis? et si multiplicatæ fuerint iniquitates tuæ, quid facies contra eum?

εἰ ἥμαρτες τί πράξεις εἰ δὲ καὶ πολλὰ ἠνόμησας τί δύνασαι ποιῆσαι

And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand?

Porro si juste egeris, quid donabis ei? aut quid de manu tua accipiet?

ἐπεὶ δὲ οὖν δίκαιος εἶ τί δώσεις αὐτῷ ἢ τί ἐκ χειρός σου λήμψεται

Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee: and thy justice may help the son of man.

Homini qui similis tui est, nocebit impietas tua : et filium hominis adjuvabit justitia tua.

ἀνδρὶ τῷ ὁμοίῳ σου ἡ ἀσέβειά σου καὶ υἱῷ ἀνθρώπου ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου

By reason of the multitude of oppressors they shall cry out: and shall wail for the violence of the arm of tyrants.

Propter multitudinem calumniatorum clamabunt, et ejulabunt propter vim brachii tyrannorum.

ἀπὸ πλήθους συκοφαντούμενοι κεκράξονται βοήσονται ἀπὸ βραχίονος πολλῶν

And he hath not said: Where is God, who made me, who hath given songs in the night?

Et non dixit : Ubi est Deus qui fecit me, qui dedit carmina in nocte;

καὶ οὐκ εἶπεν ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ θεὸς ὁ ποιήσας με ὁ κατατάσσων φυλακὰς νυκτερινάς

Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us more than the fowls of the air.

qui docet nos super jumenta terræ, et super volucres cæli erudit nos?

ὁ διορίζων με ἀπὸ τετραπόδων γῆς ἀπὸ δὲ πετεινῶν οὐρανοῦ

There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men.

Ibi clamabunt, et non exaudiet, propter superbiam malorum.

ἐκεῖ κεκράξονται καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσακούσῃ καὶ ἀπὸ ὕβρεως πονηρῶν

God therefore will not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into the causes of every one.

Non ergo frustra audiet Deus, et Omnipotens causas singulorum intuebitur.

ἄτοπα γὰρ οὐ βούλεται ὁ κύριος ἰδεῖν αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ παντοκράτωρ ὁρατής ἐστιν

Yea, when thou shalt say: He considereth not: be judged before him, and expect him.

Etiam cum dixeris : Non considerat : judicare coram illo, et expecta eum.

τῶν συντελούντων τὰ ἄνομα καὶ σώσει με κρίθητι δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ εἰ δύνασαι αἰνέσαι αὐτόν ὡς ἔστιν

For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly.

Nunc enim non infert furorem suum, nec ulciscitur scelus valde.

καὶ νῦν ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπισκεπτόμενος ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω παραπτώματι σφόδρα

Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge.

Ergo Job frustra aperit os suum, et absque scientia verba multiplicat.

καὶ Ιωβ ματαίως ἀνοίγει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀγνωσίᾳ ῥήματα βαρύνει
