1[] Και απεκριθη Βιλδαδ ο Σαυχιτης και ειπεν·
1And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
2Εως ποτε δεν θελετε τελειωσει τους λογους; προσεξατε, και επειτα θελομεν λαλησει.
2How long will ye hunt for words? Be intelligent, and then we will speak.
3Δια τι λογιζομεθα ως τετραποδα, και εξαχρειουμεθα εμπροσθεν σας;
3Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed stupid in your sight?
4Ω διασπαραττων την ψυχην σου εν τω θυμω σου, δια σε η γη θελει εγκαταλειφθη; και ο βραχος θελει μετακινηθη απο του τοπου αυτου;
4Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of its place?
5[] Βεβαιως το φως των ασεβων θελει σβεσθη, και ο σπινθηρ του πυρος αυτων δεν θελει αναλαμψει·
5Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the flame of his fire shall not shine.
6το φως θελει εισθαι σκοτος εν τη σκηνη αυτου, και ο λυχνος αυτου ανωθεν αυτου θελει σβεσθη·
6The light shall become dark in his tent, and his lamp over him shall be put out.
7τα βηματα της δυναμεως αυτου θελουσι συσταλθη, και η βουλη αυτου θελει κατακρημνισει αυτον.
7The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
8Διοτι με τους εαυτου ποδας ερριφθη εις δικτυον, και περιπατει επι βροχων.
8For he is sent into the net by his own feet, and he walketh on the meshes;
9Παγις θελει συλλαβει αυτον απο της πτερνας· ο κλεπτης θελει υπερισχυσει κατ' αυτου.
9The gin taketh [him] by the heel, the snare layeth hold on him;
10Η παγις αυτου ειναι κεκρυμμενη εν τη γη, και η ενεδρα αυτου επι της οδου.
10A cord is hidden for him in the ground, and his trap in the way.
11[] Τρομοι θελουσι φοβιζει αυτον κυκλοθεν, και θελουσι καταδιωκει αυτον κατα ποδας.
11Terrors make him afraid on every side, and chase him at his footsteps.
12Η δυναμις αυτου θελει λιμοκτονησει, και ολεθρος θελει εισθαι ετοιμος εις την πλευραν αυτου.
12His strength is hunger-bitten, and calamity is ready at his side.
13Πρωτοτοκος θανατος θελει καταφαγει το καλλος του δερματος αυτου· το καλλος αυτου θελει καταφαγει.
13The firstborn of death devoureth the members of his body; it will devour his members.
14Το θαρρος αυτου θελει εκριζωθη απο της σκηνης αυτου, και αυτος θελει συρθη προς τον βασιλεα των τρομων.
14His confidence shall be rooted out of his tent, and it shall lead him away to the king of terrors:
15Ουτοι θελουσι κατοικησει εν τη σκηνη αυτου, ητις δεν ειναι πλεον αυτου· θειον θελει διασπαρη επι την κατοικιαν αυτου.
15They who are none of his shall dwell in his tent; brimstone shall be showered upon his habitation:
16Υποκατωθεν αι ριζαι αυτου θελουσι ξηρανθη, και επανωθεν θελει κοπη ο κλαδος αυτου.
16His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off;
17Το μνημοσυνον αυτου θελει εξαλειφθη απο της γης, και δεν θελει υπαρχει πλεον το ονομα αυτου εν ταις πλατειαις.
17His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name on the pasture-grounds.
18Θελει εξωσθη απο του φωτος εις το σκοτος, και θελει εκβληθη απο του κοσμου.
18He is driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
19Δεν θελει εχει ουτε υιον ουτε εγγονον μεταξυ του λαου αυτου, ουδε υπολοιπον εν ταις κατοικιαις αυτου.
19He hath neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining in the places of his sojourn.
20Οι μεταγενεστεροι θελουσιν εκπλαγη δια την ημεραν αυτου, καθως οι προγενεστεροι ελαβον φρικην.
20They that come after shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before [them] were affrighted.
21Βεβαιως τοιαυται ειναι αι κατοικιαι του ασεβους, και ουτος ο τοπος του μη γνωριζοντος τον Θεον.
21Surely, such are the dwellings of the unrighteous man, and such the place of him that knoweth not ùGod.
