Old Testament
1 But Job answered and said:
1 ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ Ἰὼβ λέγει·
2 “How have you helped him who is without power? How have you saved the arm that has no strength?
2 τίνι πρόσκεισαι ἢ τίνι μέλλεις βοηθεῖν; πότερον, οὐχ ᾧ πολλὴ ἰσχὺς καὶ ᾧ βραχίων κραταιός ἐστι;
3 How have you counseled one who has no wisdom? And how have you declared sound advice to many?
3 τίνι συμβεβούλευσαι; οὐχ ᾧ πᾶσα σοφία; τίνι ἐπακολουθήσεις; οὐχ ᾧ μεγίστη δύναμις;
4 To whom have you uttered words? And whose spirit came from you?
4 τίνι ἀνήγγειλας ρήματα; πνοὴ δὲ τίνος ἐστὶν ἡ ἐλθοῦσα ἐκ σοῦ;
5 “The dead tremble, Those under the waters and those inhabiting them.
5 μὴ γίγαντες μαιωθήσονται ὑποκάτωθεν ὕδατος καὶ τῶν γειτόνων αὐτοῦ;
6 Sheol is naked before Him, And Destruction has no covering.
6 γυμνὸς ὁ ᾅδης ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι περιβόλαιον τῇ ἀπωλείᾳ.
7 He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing.
7 ἐκτείνων βορέαν ἐπ᾿ οὐδέν, κρεμάζων γῆν ἐπὶ οὐδενός·
8 He binds up the water in His thick clouds, Yet the clouds are not broken under it.
8 δεσμεύων ὕδωρ ἐν νεφέλαις αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐρράγη νέφος ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ·
9 He covers the face of His throne, And spreads His cloud over it.
9 ὁ κρατῶν πρόσωπον θρόνου, ἐκπετάζων ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν νέφος αὐτοῦ.
10 He drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters, At the boundary of light and darkness.
10 πρόσταγμα ἐγύρωσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ὕδατος μέχρι συντελείας φωτὸς μετὰ σκότους.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble, And are astonished at His rebuke.
11 στῦλοι οὐρανοῦ ἐπετάσθησαν καὶ ἐξέστησαν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐπιτιμήσεως αὐτοῦ.
12 He stirs up the sea with His power, And by His understanding He breaks up the storm.
12 ἰσχύϊ κατέπαυσε τὴν θάλασσαν, ἐπιστήμῃ δὲ ἔστρωσε τὸ κῆτος·
13 By His Spirit He adorned the heavens; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
13 κλεῖθρα δὲ οὐρανοῦ δεδοίκασιν αὐτόν, προστάγματι δὲ ἐθανάτωσε δράκοντα ἀποστάτην.
14 Indeed these are the mere edges of His ways, And how small a whisper we hear of Him! But the thunder of His power who can understand?”
14 ἰδοὺ ταῦτα μέρη ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ ἰκμάδα λόγου ἀκουσόμεθα ἐν αὐτῷ· σθένος δὲ βροντῆς αὐτοῦ τίς οἶδεν ὁπότε ποιήσει;
