Job 1

Ανθρωπος τις ητο εν τη γη της Αυσιτιδος ονομαζομενος Ιωβ και ο ανθρωπος ουτος ητο αμεμπτος και ευθυς και φοβουμενος τον Θεον και απεχομενος απο κακου.

There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.

Και εγεννηθησαν εις αυτον επτα υιοι και τρεις θυγατερες.

And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.

Και ησαν τα κτηνη αυτου επτακισχιλια προβατα και τρισχιλιαι καμηλοι και πεντακοσια ζευγη βοων και πεντακοσιαι ονοι και πληθος πολυ υπηρετων και ητο ο ανθρωπος εκεινος ο μεγαλητερος παντων των κατοικων της Ανατολης.

His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.

Και υπηγαινον οι υιοι αυτου και εκαμνον συμποσια εν ταις οικιαις αυτων, εκαστος κατα την ημεραν αυτου, και εστελλον και προσεκαλουν τας τρεις αδελφας αυτων δια να τρωγωσι και να πινωσι μετ αυτων.

And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.

Και οτε ετελειονον αι ημεραι του συμποσιου, εστελλεν ο Ιωβ και ηγιαζεν αυτους, και εξεγειρομενος πρωι προσεφερεν ολοκαυτωματα κατα τον αριθμον παντων αυτων διοτι ελεγεν ο Ιωβ, Μηπως οι υιοι μου ημαρτησαν και εβλασφημησαν τον Θεον εν τη καρδια αυτων. Ουτως εκαμνεν ο Ιωβ, παντοτε.

And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

Ημεραν δε τινα ηλθον οι υιοι του Θεου δια να παρασταθωσιν ενωπιον του Κυριου, και μεταξυ αυτων ηλθε και ο Σατανας.

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

Και ειπεν ο Κυριος προς τον Σαταναν, Ποθεν ερχεσαι; Και ο Σατανας απεκριθη προς τον Κυριον και ειπε, Περιελθων την γην και εμπεριπατησας εν αυτη παρειμι.

And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

Και ειπεν ο Κυριος προς τον Σαταναν, Εβαλες τον νουν σου επι τον δουλον μου Ιωβ, οτι δεν υπαρχει ομοιος αυτου εν τη γη, ανθρωπος αμεμπτος και ευθυς, φοβουμενος τον Θεον και απεχομενος απο κακου;

And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

Και απεκριθη ο Σατανας προς τον Κυριον και ειπε, Μηπως δωρεαν φοβειται ο Ιωβ τον Θεον;

Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?

δεν περιεφραξας κυκλοθεν αυτον και την οικιαν αυτου και παντα οσα εχει; τα εργα των χειρων αυτου ευλογησας, και τα κτηνη αυτου επληθυνθησαν επι της γης

Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

πλην τωρα εκτεινον την χειρα σου και εγγισον παντα οσα εχει, δια να ιδης εαν δεν σε βλασφημηση κατα προσωπον.

But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.

Και ειπεν ο Κυριος προς τον Σαταναν, Ιδου, εις την χειρα σου παντα οσα εχει μονον επ αυτον μη επιβαλης την χειρα σου. Και εξηλθεν ο Σατανας απ εμπροσθεν του Κυριου.

And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.

Ημεραν δε τινα οι υιοι αυτου και αι θυγατερες αυτου ετρωγον και επινον οινον εν τη οικια του αδελφου αυτων του πρωτοτοκου.

And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:

Και ηλθε μηνυτης προς τον Ιωβ και ειπεν, Οι βοες ηροτριαζον και αι ονοι εβοσκον πλησιον αυτων

And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:

και επεπεσαν οι Σαβαιοι και ηρπασαν αυτα και τους δουλους επαταξαν εν στοματι μαχαιρας και εγω μονος διεσωθην δια να σοι απαγγειλω.

And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

Ενω ουτος ετι ελαλει, ηλθε και αλλος και ειπε, Πυρ Θεου επεσεν εξ ουρανου και εκαυσε τα προβατα και τους δουλους και κατεφαγεν αυτους και εγω μονος διεσωθην δια να σοι απαγγειλω.

While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

Ενω ουτος ετι ελαλει, ηλθε και αλλος και ειπεν, Οι Χαλδαιοι εκαμον τρεις λοχους και εφωρμησαν εις τας καμηλους και ηρπασαν αυτας και τους δουλους επαταξαν εν στοματι μαχαιρας και εγω μονος διεσωθην δια να σοι απαγγειλω.

While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

Ενω ουτος ετι ελαλει, ηλθε και αλλος και ειπεν, Οι υιοι σου και αι θυγατερες σου ετρωγον και επινον οινον εν τη οικια του αδελφου αυτων του πρωτοτοκου

While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:

και ιδου, ηλθε μεγας ανεμος εκ του περαν της ερημου και προσεβαλε τας τεσσαρας γωνιας του οικου και επεσεν επι τα παιδια, και απεθανον και εγω μονος διεσωθην δια να σοι απαγγειλω.

And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

Τοτε σηκωθεις ο Ιωβ διεσχισε το επενδυμα αυτου και εξυρισε την κεφαλην αυτου και επεσεν επι την γην και προσεκυνησε,

Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,

και ειπε, Γυμνος εξηλθον εκ κοιλιας μητρος μου και γυμνος θελω επιστρεψει εκει ο Κυριος εδωκε και ο Κυριος αφηρεσεν ειη το ονομα Κυριου ευλογημενον.

And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.

Εν πασι τουτοις δεν ημαρτησεν ο Ιωβ και δεν εδωκεν αφροσυνην εις τον Θεον.

In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
