1[] Τοτε απεκριθη ο Ιωβ προς τον Κυριον και ειπεν·
1Then Job answered Yahweh,
2Εξευρω οτι δυνασαι τα παντα, και ουδεις στοχασμος σου δυναται να εμποδισθη.
2“I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.
3Τις ουτος ο κρυπτων την βουλην ασυνετως; Εγω λοιπον προεφερα εκεινο, το οποιον δεν ενοουν. Πραγματα υπερθαυμαστα δι' εμε, τα οποια δεν εγνωριζον.
3You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know.
4Ακουσον, δεομαι· και εγω θελω λαλησει· θελω σε ερωτησει, και συ διδαξον με.
4You said, ‘Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.’
5Ηκουον περι σου με την ακοην του ωτιου, αλλα τωρα ο οφθαλμος μου σε βλεπει·
5I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.
6δια τουτο βδελυττομαι εμαυτον, και μετανοω εν χωματι και σποδω.
6Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”
7[] Αφου δε ο Κυριος ελαλησε τους λογους τουτους προς τον Ιωβ, ειπεν ο Κυριος προς Ελιφας τον Θαιμανιτην, Ο θυμος μου εξηφθη κατα σου και κατα των δυο φιλων σου· διοτι δεν ελαλησατε περι εμου το ορθον ως ο δουλος μου Ιωβ·
7It was so, that after Yahweh had spoken these words to Job, Yahweh said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
8δια τουτο λαβετε τωρα εις εαυτους επτα μοσχους και επτα κριους και υπαγετε προς τον δουλον μου Ιωβ, και προσφερετε ολοκαυτωμα υπερ εαυτων· ο δε Ιωβ ο δουλος μου θελει ικετευσει υπερ υμων· διοτι θελω δεχθη το προσωπον αυτου· δια να μη πραξω με σας κατα την αφροσυνην σας· διοτι δεν ελαλησατε περι εμου το ορθον ως ο δουλος μου Ιωβ.
8Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.”
9Και υπηγον Ελιφας ο Θαιμανιτης και Βιλδαδ ο Σαυχιτης και Σωφαρ ο Νααμαθιτης, και εκαμον ως προσεταξεν εις αυτους ο Κυριος· ο δε Κυριος εδεχθη το προσωπον του Ιωβ.
9So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did what Yahweh commanded them, and Yahweh accepted Job.
10[] Και εστρεψεν ο Κυριος την αιχμαλωσιαν του Ιωβ, αφου προσηυχηθη υπερ των φιλων αυτου· και εδωκεν ο Κυριος εις τον Ιωβ διπλασια παντων των οσα ειχε προτερον.
10Yahweh turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends. Yahweh gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11Τοτε ηλθον προς αυτον παντες οι αδελφοι αυτου και πασαι αι αδελφαι αυτου και παντες οι γνωριζοντες αυτον προτερον, και εφαγον αρτον μετ' αυτου εν τω οικω αυτου· και συνεκλαυσαν με αυτον και παρηγορησαν αυτον περι παντος του κακου, το οποιον ο Κυριος επεφερεν επ' αυτον· και εδωκαν εκαστος εις αυτον εν αργυριον και εκαστος εν χρυσουν ενωτιον.
11Then came there to him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that Yahweh had brought on him. Everyone also gave him a piece of money, literally, kesitah, a unit of money, probably silver and everyone a ring of gold.
12Και ευλογησεν ο Κυριος τα εσχατα του Ιωβ μαλλον παρα τα πρωτα· ωστε απεκτησε δεκατεσσαρας χιλιαδας προβατων και εξακισχιλιας καμηλους και χιλια ζευγη βοων και χιλιας ονους.
12So Yahweh blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.
13Εγεννηθησαν ετι εις αυτον επτα υιοι και τρεις θυγατερες·
13He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14και εκαλεσε το ονομα της πρωτης Ιεμιμα· και το ονομα της δευτερας Κεσια· και το ονομα της τριτης Κερεν-αππουχ·
14He called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren Happuch.
15και δεν ευρισκοντο εφ' ολης της γης γυναικες ωραιαι ως αι θυγατερες του Ιωβ· και ο πατηρ αυτων εδωκεν εις αυτας κληρονομιαν μεταξυ των αδελφων αυτων.
15In all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job. Their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
16Μετα ταυτα εζησεν ο Ιωβ εκατον τεσσαρακοντα ετη, και ειδε τους υιους αυτου και τους υιους των υιων αυτου, τεταρτην γενεαν.
16After this Job lived one hundred forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, to four generations.
17και ετελευτησεν ο Ιωβ, γερων και πληρης ημερων.
17So Job died, being old and full of days.
