Job 20

Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

Και απεκριθη Σωφαρ ο Νααμαθιτης και ειπε

Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.

Δια τουτο οι στοχασμοι μου με κινουσιν εις το να αποκριθω, και δια τουτο σπευδω.

I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.

Ηκουσα την εις εμε ονειδιστικην επιπληξιν, και το πνευμα της συνεσεως μου με καμνει να αποκριθω.

Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,

Δεν γνωριζεις τουτο παλαιοθεν αφ οτου ο ανθρωπος ετεθη επι της γης,

That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?

οτι ο θριαμβος των ασεβων ειναι ολιγοχρονιος, και η χαρα του υποκριτου στιγμαια.

Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;

Και αν το μεγαλειον αυτου αναβη εις τους ουρανους και η κεφαλη αυτου φθαση εως των νεφελων,

Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?

θελει αφανισθη διαπαντος ως κοπρος αυτου οσοι εβλεπον αυτον θελουσι λεγει, Που εκεινος;

He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.

θελει πεταξει ως ονειρον και δεν θελει ευρεθη και, ως ορασις της νυκτος θελει εξαφανισθη.

The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.

Και ο οφθαλμος οστις εβλεπεν αυτον δεν θελει ιδει αυτον πλεον και ο τοπος αυτου δεν θελει πλεον γνωρισει αυτον.

His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.

Οι υιοι αυτου θελουσι ζητησει την ευνοιαν των πτωχων, και αι χειρες αυτου θελουσιν επιστρεψει τα αγαθα αυτων.

His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.

Τα οστα αυτου γεμουσιν απο των αμαρτηματων της νεοτητος αυτου, και θελουσι κοιμηθη μετ αυτου εν χωματι.

Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;

Αν και η κακια ηναι γλυκεια εν τω στοματι αυτου, κρυπτη αυτην υπο την γλωσσαν αυτου

Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:

αν και περιθαλπη αυτην και δεν αφινη αυτην, αλλα κρατη αυτην εν τω μεσω του ουρανισκου αυτου

Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.

ομως η τροφη αυτου θελει αλλοιωθη εις τα εντοσθια αυτου χολη ασπιδων θελει γεινει εν αυτω.

He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.

Τα πλουτη οσα κατεπιε, θελει εξεμεσει ο Θεος θελει εκσπασει αυτα απο της κοιλιας αυτου.

He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.

Φαρμακιον ασπιδων θελει θηλασει γλωσσα εχιδνης θελει θανατωσει αυτον.

He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.

Δεν θελει ιδει τους ποταμους, τους ρυακας τους ρεοντας μελι και βουτυρον.

That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.

Εκεινο, δια το οποιον εκοπιασε, θελει αποδωσει και δεν θελει καταπιει αυτο κατα την αποκτησιν θελει γεινει η αποδοσις αυτου, και δεν θελει χαρη.

Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;

Διοτι κατεθλιψεν, εγκατελιπε τους πενητας ηρπασεν οικιαν, την οποιαν δεν ωκοδομησε.

Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.

Βεβαιως δεν θελει γνωρισει αναπαυσιν εν τη κοιλια αυτου δεν θελει διασωσει ουδεν εκ των επιθυμητων αυτου.

There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.

Δεν θελει μεινει εις αυτον ουδεν προς τροφην οθεν δεν θελει ελπισει επι τα αγαθα αυτου.

In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.

Εν τη πληρει αφθονια αυτου θελει επελθει επ αυτον στενοχωρια πασα η δυναμις της ταλαιπωριας θελει επιπεσει επ αυτον.

When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.

Ενω καταγινεται να εμπληση την κοιλιαν αυτου, ο Θεος θελει αποστειλει τον θυμον της οργης αυτου επ αυτον, και θελει επιβρεξει αυτον κατ αυτου ενω τρωγει.

He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.

Ενω φευγει το οπλον το σιδηρουν, το χαλκινον τοξον θελει διαπερασει αυτον.

It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.

Το βελος συρεται και διαπερα το σωμα, και η αστραπτουσα ακμη εξερχεται εκ της χολης αυτου. Τρομοι ειναι επ αυτον,

All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.

παν σκοτος κρυπτεται εν τοις ταμειοις αυτου πυρ ασβεστον θελει κατατρωγει αυτον οσοι εναπελειφθησαν εν τη σκηνη αυτου θελουσι δυστυχει.

The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.

Ο ουρανος θελει ανακαλυψει την ανομιαν αυτου και η γη θελει σηκωθη κατ αυτου.

The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.

Η περιουσια του οικου αυτου θελει αφανισθη θελει διαρρευσει εν τη ημερα της κατ αυτου οργης.

This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.

Αυτη ειναι η παρα του Θεου μερις του ασεβους ανθρωπου, και η κληρονομια η διωρισμενη εις αυτον παρα του Θεου.
