Chapter 38

1

And after Elius had ceased from speaking, the Lord spoke to Job through the whirlwind and clouds, [saying],

ΜΕΤΑ δὲ τὸ παύσασθαι ᾿Ελιοὺν τῆς λέξεως εἶπεν ὁ Κύριος τῷ ᾿Ιὼβ διὰ λαίλαπος καὶ νεφῶν·

Преста́вшꙋ же є҆лїꙋ́сꙋ ѿ бесѣ́ды, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь і҆́ѡвꙋ сквозѣ̀ бꙋ́рю и҆ ѡ҆́блаки:

2

Who is this that hides counsel from me, and confines words in [his] heart, and thinks to conceal [them] from me?

τίς οὗτος ὁ κρύπτων με βουλήν, συνέχων δὲ ῥήματα ἐν καρδίᾳ, ἐμὲ δὲ οἴεται κρύπτειν;

кто̀ се́й скрыва́ѧй ѿ менє̀ совѣ́тъ, содержа́й же глаго́лы въ се́рдцы, мене́ же ли мни́тсѧ ᲂу҆таи́ти;

3

Gird thy loins like a man; and I will ask thee, and do thou answer me.

ζῶσαι ὥσπερ ἀνὴρ τὴν ὀσφύν σου, ἐρωτήσω δέ σε, σὺ δέ μοι ἀποκρίθητι.

Препоѧ́ши ꙗ҆́кѡ мꙋ́жъ чрє́сла твоѧ̑: вопрошꙋ́ же тѧ̀, ты́ же мѝ ѿвѣща́й.

4

Where wast thou when I founded the earth? tell me now, if thou hast knowledge,

ποῦ ἦς ἐν τῷ θεμελιοῦν με τὴν γῆν; ἀπάγγειλον δέ μοι εἰ ἐπίστῃ σύνεσιν.

Гдѣ̀ бы́лъ є҆сѝ, є҆гда̀ ѡ҆снова́хъ зе́млю; возвѣсти́ ми, а҆́ще вѣ́си ра́зꙋмъ.

5

who set the measures of it, if thou knowest? or who stretched a line upon it?

τίς ἔθετο τὰ μέτρα αὐτῆς, εἰ οἶδας; ἢ τίς ὁ ἐπαγαγὼν σπαρτίον ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς;

Кто̀ положѝ мѣ̑ры є҆ѧ̀, а҆́ще вѣ́си; и҆лѝ кто̀ наведы́й ве́рвь на ню̀;

6

On what are its rings fastened? and who is he that laid the corner-stone upon it?

ἐπὶ τίνος οἱ κρίκοι αὐτῆς πεπήγασι; τίς δέ ἐστιν ὁ βαλὼν λίθον γωνιαῖον ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς;

На че́мже столпѝ є҆ѧ̀ ᲂу҆твержде́ни сꙋ́ть; кто́же є҆́сть положи́вый ка́мень краеꙋго́льный на не́й;

7

When the stars were made, all my angels praised me with a loud voice.

ὅτε ἐγενήθησαν ἄστρα, ᾔνεσάν με φωνῇ μεγάλῃ πάντες ἄγγελοί μου.

Є҆гда̀ (сотворє́ны) бы́ша ѕвѣ́зды, восхвали́ша мѧ̀ гла́сомъ ве́лїимъ всѝ а҆́гг҃ли моѝ.

8

And I shut up the sea with gates, when it rushed out, coming forth out its mother’s womb.

ἔφραξα δὲ θάλασσαν πύλαις, ὅτε ἐμαιοῦτο ἐκ κοιλίας μητρὸς αὐτῆς ἐκπορευομένη.

Загради́хъ же мо́ре враты̀, є҆гда̀ и҆злива́шесѧ и҆з̾ чре́ва ма́тере своеѧ̀ и҆сходѧ́щее:

9

And I made a cloud its clothing, and swathed it in mist.

ἐθέμην δὲ αὐτῇ νέφος ἀμφίασιν, ὁμίχλῃ δὲ αὐτὴν ἐσπαργάνωσα.

положи́хъ же є҆мꙋ̀ ѡ҆́блакъ во ѡ҆дѣѧ́нїе, мгло́ю же пови́хъ є҆̀:

10

And I set bounds to it, surrounding it with bars and gates.

ἐθέμην δὲ αὐτῇ ὅρια, περιθεὶς κλεῖθρα καὶ πύλας.

и҆ положи́хъ є҆мꙋ̀ предѣ́лы, ѡ҆бложи́въ затво́ры и҆ врата̀:

11

And I said to it, Hitherto shalt thou come, but thou shalt not go beyond, but thy waves shall be confined within thee.

εἶπα δὲ αὐτῇ· μέχρι τούτου ἐλεύσῃ καὶ οὐχ ὑπερβήσῃ, ἀλλ᾿ ἐν σεαυτῇ συντριβήσεταί σου τὰ κύματα.

рѣ́хъ же є҆мꙋ̀: до сегѡ̀ до́йдеши и҆ не пре́йдеши, но въ тебѣ̀ сокрꙋша́тсѧ во́лны твоѧ̑.

12

Or did I order the morning light in thy time; and [did] the morning star [then first] see his appointed place;

ἦ ἐπὶ σοῦ συντέταχα φέγγος πρωϊνόν; ἑωσφόρος δὲ εἶδε τὴν ἑαυτοῦ τάξιν

И҆лѝ при тебѣ̀ соста́вихъ свѣ́тъ ᲂу҆́треннїй, денни́ца же вѣ́сть чи́нъ сво́й,

13

to lay hold of the extremities of the earth, to cast out the ungodly out of it?

ἐπιλαβέσθαι πτερύγων γῆς, ἐκτινάξαι ἀσεβεῖς ἐξ αὐτῆς;

ꙗ҆́тисѧ кри́лъ землѝ, ѿтрѧстѝ нечести̑выѧ ѿ неѧ̀;

14

Or didst thou take clay of the ground, and form a living creature, and set it with the power of speech upon the earth?

ἦ σὺ λαβὼν γῆν πηλὸν ἔπλασας ζῷον καὶ λαλητὸν αὐτὸν ἔθου ἐπ‘Ι γῆς;

И҆лѝ ты̀, бре́нїе взе́мъ, ѿ землѝ созда́лъ є҆сѝ живо́тно, и҆ глаго́ливаго сего̀ посади́лъ є҆сѝ на землѝ;

15

And hast thou removed light from the ungodly, and crushed the arm of the proud?

ἀφεῖλες δὲ ἀπὸ ἀσεβῶν τὸ φῶς, βραχίονα δὲ ὑπερηφάνων συνέτριψας;

Ѿѧ́лъ же ли є҆сѝ ѿ нечести́выхъ свѣ́тъ, мы́шцꙋ же го́рдыхъ сокрꙋши́лъ ли є҆сѝ;

16

Or hast thou gone to the source of the sea, and walked in the tracks of the deep?

ἦλθες δὲ ἐπὶ πηγὴν θαλάσσης, ἐν δὲ ἴχνεσιν ἀβύσσου περιεπάτησας;

Прише́лъ же ли є҆сѝ на и҆сто́чники мо́рѧ, во слѣда́хъ же бе́здны ходи́лъ ли є҆сѝ;

17

And do the gates of death open to thee for fear; and did the porters of hell quake when they saw thee?

ἀνοίγονταί δέ σοι φόβῳ πύλαι θανάτου, πυλωροὶ δὲ ᾅδου ἰδόντες σε ἔπτηξαν;

Ѿверза́ютсѧ же ли тебѣ̀ стра́хомъ врата̀ смє́ртнаѧ, вра́тницы же а҆́дѡвы ви́дѣвше тѧ̀ ᲂу҆боѧ́шасѧ ли;

18

And hast thou been instructed in the breadth of the [whole earth] under heaven? tell me now, what is the extent of it?

νενουθέτησαι δὲ τὸ εὖρος τῆς ὑπ᾿ οὐρανόν; ἀνάγγειλον δή μοι, πόση τίς ἐστι;

Навы́клъ же ли є҆сѝ широты̀ поднебе́сныѧ; Повѣ́ждь ᲂу҆̀бо мѝ, коли́ка є҆́сть;

19

And in what kind of a land does the light dwell? and of what kind is the place of darkness?

ἐν ποίᾳ δὲ γῇ αὐλίζεται τὸ φῶς; σκότους δὲ ποῖος ὁ τόπος;

Въ ко́ей же землѝ вселѧ́етсѧ свѣ́тъ, тьмѣ́ же ко́е є҆́сть мѣ́сто;

20

If thou couldest bring me to their [utmost] boundaries, and if also thou knowest their paths;

εἰ ἀγάγοις με εἰς ὅρια αὐτῶν; εἰ δὲ καὶ ἐπίστασαι τρίβους αὐτῶν;

А҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо введе́ши мѧ̀ въ предѣ́лы и҆́хъ, а҆́ще же ли и҆ вѣ́си стєзѝ и҆́хъ;

21

I know then that thou wert born at that time, and the number of thy years is great.

οἶδας ἄρα ὅτι τότε γεγέννησαι, ἀριθμὸς δὲ ἐτῶν σου πολύς;

Вѣ́мъ ᲂу҆̀бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ тогда̀ рожде́нъ є҆сѝ, число́ же лѣ́тъ твои́хъ мно́го.

22

But hast thou gone to the treasures of snow? and hast thou seen the treasures of hail?

ἦλθες δὲ ἐπὶ θησαυροὺς χιόνος, θησαυροὺς δὲ χαλάζης ἑώρακας;

Прише́лъ же ли є҆сѝ въ сокрѡ́вища снѣ̑жнаѧ, и҆ сокрѡ́вища гра̑днаѧ ви́дѣлъ ли є҆сѝ;

23

And is there a store [of them], for thee against the time of [thine] enemies, for the day of wars and battle?

ἀπόκειται δέ σοι εἰς ὥραν ἐχθρῶν εἰς ἡμέραν πολέμων καὶ μάχης;

подлежа́тъ же ли тебѣ̀ въ ча́съ врагѡ́въ, въ де́нь бра́ней и҆ ра́ти;

24

And whence proceeds the frost? or [whence] is the south wind dispersed over the [whole world] under heaven?

πόθεν δὲ ἐκπορεύεται πάχνη ἢ διασκεδάννυται νότος εἰς τὴν ὑπ᾿ οὐρανόν;

Ѿкꙋ́дꙋ же и҆схо́дитъ сла́на, и҆лѝ разсыпа́етсѧ ю҆́гъ на поднебе́снꙋю;

25

And who prepared a course for the violent rain, and a way for the thunders;

τίς δὲ ἡτοίμασεν ὑετῷ λάβρῳ ρύσιν, ὁδὸν δὲ κυδοιμῶν

Кто́ же ᲂу҆гото́ва дождю̀ ве́лїю пролїѧ́нїе, и҆ пꙋ́ть мо́лнїи и҆ гро́ма,

26

to rain upon the land where [there is] no man, the wilderness, where there is not a man in it; so as to feed the untrodden and uninhabited [land],

τοῦ ὑετίσαι ἐπὶ γῆν, οὗ οὐκ ἀνήρ, ἔρημον, οὗ οὐχ ὑπάρχει ἄνθρωπος ἐν αὐτῇ,

ѡ҆дожди́ти на зе́млю, на не́йже нѣ́сть мꙋ́жа, пꙋсты́ню, и҆дѣ́же человѣ́ка нѣ́сть въ не́й,

27

and cause it to send forth a crop of green herbs?

τοῦ χορτάσαι ἄβατον καὶ ἀοίκητον καὶ τοῦ ἐκβλαστῆσαι ἔξοδον χλόης;

насы́тити непроходи́мꙋ и҆ ненаселе́нꙋ, и҆ прозѧ́бнꙋти и҆схо́дъ ѕла́ка;

28

Who is the rain’s father? and who has generated the drops of dew?

τίς ἐστιν ὑετοῦ πατήρ; τίς δέ ἐστιν ὁ τετοκὼς βώλους δρόσου,

Кто́ є҆сть дождю̀ ѻ҆те́цъ; кто́ же є҆́сть роди́вый ка̑пли рѡ́сныѧ;

29

And out of whose womb comes the ice? and who has produced the frost in the sky,

ἐκ γαστρὸς δέ τίνος ἐκπορεύεται ὁ κρύσταλλος; πάχνην δὲ ἐν οὐρανῷ τίς τέτοκεν,

И҆з̾ чїегѡ̀ чре́ва и҆схо́дитъ ле́дъ; Сла́нꙋ же на небесѝ кто̀ роди́лъ,

30

which descends like flowing water? who has terrified the face of the ungodly?

ἣ καταβαίνει ὥσπερ ὕδωρ ρέον; πρόσωπον ἀσεβοῦς τίς ἔπληξε;

ꙗ҆́же низхо́дитъ ꙗ҆́кѡ вода̀ текꙋ́щаѧ; Лицѐ нечести́ва кто̀ ᲂу҆страшѝ;

31

And dost thou understand the band of Pleias, and hast thou opened the barrier of Orion?

συνῆκας δὲ δεσμὸν Πλειάδος καὶ φραγμὸν ᾿Ωρίωνος ἤνοιξας;

Разꙋмѣ́лъ же ли є҆сѝ соꙋ́зъ плїа́дъ, и҆ ѡ҆гражде́нїе ѡ҆рїѡ́ново ѿве́рзлъ ли є҆сѝ;

32

Or wilt thou reveal Mazuroth in his season, and the evening star with his rays? Wilt thou guide them?

ἦ διανοίξεις μαζουρὼθ ἐν καιρῷ αὐτοῦ καὶ ῞Εσπερον ἐπὶ κόμης αὐτοῦ ἄξεις αὐτά;

И҆лѝ ѿве́рзеши зна́мєнїѧ небє́снаѧ во вре́мѧ своѐ; и҆ вече́рнюю ѕвѣздꙋ̀ за власы̀ є҆ѧ̀ привлече́ши ли;

33

And knowest thou the changes of heaven, or the events which take place together under heaven?

ἐπίστασαι δὲ τροπὰς οὐρανοῦ ἢ τὰ ὑπ᾿ οὐρανὸν ὁμοθυμαδὸν γινόμενα;

Вѣ́си же ли премѣнє́нїѧ небє́снаѧ, и҆лѝ быва̑ющаѧ вкꙋ́пѣ под̾ небесе́мъ;

34

And wilt thou call a cloud with thy voice, and will it obey thee with a violent shower of much rain?

καλέσεις δὲ νέφος φωνῇ, καὶ τρόμῳ ὕδατος λάβρου ὑπακούσεταί σου;

Призове́ши же ли ѡ҆́блакъ гла́сомъ; и҆ тре́петомъ воды̀ вели́кїѧ послꙋ́шаетъ ли тѧ̀;

35

And wilt thou send lightnings, and they shall go? and shall they say to thee, What is [thy pleasure]?

ἀποστελεῖς δὲ κεραυνοὺς καὶ πορεύσονται; ἐροῦσι δέ σοι· τί ἐστι;

По́слеши же ли мѡ́лнїи, и҆ по́йдꙋтъ; рекꙋ́тъ же ли тѝ: что́ є҆сть;

36

And who has given to women skill in weaving, or knowledge of embroidery?

τίς δὲ ἔδωκε γυναιξὶν ὑφάσματος σοφίαν ἢ ποικιλτικὴν ἐπιστήμην;

Кто́ же да́лъ є҆́сть жена́мъ тка́нїѧ мꙋ́дрость, и҆лѝ и҆спещре́нїѧ хи́трость;

37

And who is he that numbers the clouds in wisdom, and has bowed the heaven [down] to the earth?

τίς δὲ ὁ ἀριθμῶν νέφη σοφίᾳ, οὐρανὸν δὲ εἰς γῆν ἔκλινε;

Кто́ же и҆счислѧ́ѧй ѡ҆́блаки премꙋ́дростїю, не́бо же на зе́млю преклони́лъ,

38

For it is spread out as dusty earth, and I have cemented it as one hewn stone to another.

κέχυται δὲ ὥσπερ γῆ κονία, κεκόλληκα δὲ αὐτὸν ὥσπερ λίθῳ κύβον.

разлїѧ́сѧ же ꙗ҆́кѡ землѧ̀ пра́хъ, спаѧ́хъ же є҆̀, а҆́ки ка́менемъ, на четы́ри ᲂу҆́глы;

39

And wilt thou hunt a prey for the lions? and satisfy the desires of the serpents?

θηρεύσεις δὲ λέουσι βοράν, ψυχὰς δὲ δρακόντων ἐμπρήσεις;

Оу҆лови́ши же ли льва́мъ ꙗ҆́дь, и҆ дꙋ́шы ѕмїє́въ насы́тиши ли;

40

For they fear in their lairs, and lying in wait couch in the woods.

δεδοίκασι γὰρ ἐν κοίταις αὐτῶν, κάθηνται δὲ ἐν ὕλαις ἐνεδρεύοντες.

ᲂу҆боѧ́шасѧ бо на ло́жахъ свои́хъ и҆ сѣдѧ́тъ въ де́брехъ ᲂу҆ловлѧ́юще.

41

And who has prepared food for the raven? for its young ones wander and cry to the Lord, in search of food.

τίς δὲ ἡτοίμασε κόρακι βοράν; νεοσσοὶ γὰρ αὐτοῦ πρὸς Κύριον κεκράγασι πλανώμενοι, τὰ σῖτα ζητοῦντες.

Кто́ же вра́нꙋ ᲂу҆гото́ва пи́щꙋ; пти̑чищи бо є҆гѡ̀ ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ воззва́ша, ѡ҆блета́юще бра̑шна и҆́щꙋще.

Chapter 39

1

[Say] if thou knowest the time of the bringing forth of the wild goats of the rock, and [if] thou hast marked the calving of the hinds:

ΕΙ ἔγνως καιρὸν τοκετοῦ τραγελάφων πέτρας, ἐφύλαξας δὲ ὠδῖνας ἐλάφων;

А҆́ще ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́лъ є҆сѝ вре́мѧ рожде́нїѧ ко́зъ живꙋ́щихъ на гора́хъ ка́менныхъ; ᲂу҆смотри́лъ же ли є҆сѝ болѣ́знь при рожде́нїи є҆ле́ней;

2

and [if] thou has hast numbered the full months of their being with young, and [if] thou hast relieved their pangs:

ἠρίθμησας δὲ μῆνας αὐτῶν πλήρεις τοκετοῦ αὐτῶν, ὠδῖνας δὲ αὐτῶν ἔδυσας;

и҆счи́слилъ же ли є҆сѝ мцⷭ҇ы и҆́хъ и҆спо́лнєны рожде́нїѧ и҆́хъ, бѡлѣ́зни же и҆́хъ разрѣши́лъ ли є҆сѝ;

3

and hast reared their young without fear; and wilt thou loosen their pangs?

ἐξέθρεψας δὲ αὐτῶν τὰ παιδία ἔξω φόβου; ὠδῖνας δὲ αὐτῶν ἐξαποστελεῖς;

Вскорми́лъ же ли є҆сѝ дѣ́тищы и҆́хъ внѣ̀ стра́ха, бѡлѣ́зни же и҆́хъ ѿсле́ши ли;

4

Their young will break forth; they will be multiplied with offspring: [their young] will go forth, and will not return to them.

ἀπορρήξουσι τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν, πληθυνθήσονται ἐν γεννήματι· ἐξελεύσονται, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀνακάμψουσιν αὐτοῖς.

и҆зве́ргнꙋтъ ча̑да своѧ̑, ᲂу҆мно́жатсѧ въ порожде́нїи, и҆зы́дꙋтъ и҆ не возвратѧ́тсѧ къ ни̑мъ.

5

And who is he that sent forth the wild ass free? and who loosed his bands?

τίς δέ ἐστιν ὁ ἀφεὶς ὄνον ἄγριον ἐλεύθερον, δεσμοὺς δὲ αὐτοῦ τίς ἔλυσεν;

Кто́ же є҆́сть пꙋсти́вый ѻ҆сла̀ ди́вїѧго свобо́дна, ᲂу҆́зы же є҆гѡ̀ кто̀ разрѣши́лъ;

6

whereas I made his habitation the wilderness, and the salt land his coverts.

ἐθέμην δὲ τὴν δίαιταν αὐτοῦ ἔρημον, καὶ τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτοῦ ἁλμυρίδα·

Положи́хъ же жили́ще є҆гѡ̀ пꙋсты́ню и҆ селє́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ сла́ность:

7

He laughs to scorn the multitude of the city, and hears not the chiding of the tax-gatherer.

καταγελῶν πολυοχλίας πόλεως, μέμψιν δὲ φορολόγου οὐκ ἀκούων,

смѣѧ́йсѧ мно́гꙋ наро́дꙋ гра́да, стꙋжа́нїѧ же да́нническагѡ не слы́шай,

8

He will survey the mountains [as] his pasture, and he seeks after every green thing.

κατασκέψεται ὄρη νομὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ὀπίσω παντὸς χλωροῦ ζητεῖ.

ᲂу҆смо́тритъ на гора́хъ па́жить себѣ̀ и҆ в̾слѣ́дъ всѧ́кагѡ ѕла́ка и҆́щетъ.

9

And will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or to lie down at thy manger?

βουλήσεται δέ σοι μονόκερως δουλεῦσαι ἢ κοιμηθῆναι ἐπὶ φάτνης σου;

Похо́щетъ же ли тѝ є҆диноро́гъ рабо́тати, и҆лѝ поспа́ти при ꙗ҆́слехъ твои́хъ;

10

And wilt thou bind his yoke with thongs, or will he plough furrows for thee in the plain?

δήσεις δὲ ἐν ἱμᾶσι ζυγὸν αὐτοῦ ἢ ἑλκύσει σου αὔλακας ἐν πεδίῳ;

привѧ́жеши ли реме́нїемъ и҆́го є҆гѡ̀, и҆ провлече́тъ тѝ бразды̑ на по́ли;

11

And dost thou trust him, because his strength is great? and wilt thou commit thy works to him?

πέποιθας δὲ ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ, ὅτι πολλὴ ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτοῦ, ἐπαφήσεις δὲ αὐτῷ τὰ ἔργα σου;

надѣ́ешилисѧ на́нь, ꙗ҆́кѡ мно́га крѣ́пость є҆гѡ̀; попꙋ́стиши же ли є҆мꙋ̀ дѣла̀ твоѧ̑;

12

And wilt thou believe that he will return to thee thy seed, and bring [it] in [to] thy threshing-floor?

πιστεύσεις δὲ ὅτι ἀποδώσει σοι τὸν σπόρον, εἰσοίσει δέ σου τὸν ἅλωνα;

повѣ́риши же ли, ꙗ҆́кѡ возда́стъ тѝ сѣ́мѧ; внесе́тъ же ли тѝ въ гꙋмно̀;

13

The peacock has a beautiful wing: * if the stork and the ostrich conceive, [it is worthy of notice],

πτέρυξ τερπομένων νεέλασα, ἐὰν συλλάβῃ ἀσίδα καὶ νέσσα·

Крило̀ веселѧ́щихсѧ неела́сса, а҆́ще зачне́тъ а҆сі́да и҆ не́сса;

14

for [the ostrich] will leave her eggs in the ground, and warm them on the dust,

ὅτι ἀφήσει εἰς γῆν τὰ ὠὰ αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπὶ χοῦν θάλψει

ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆ста́витъ на землѝ ꙗ҆́ица своѧ̑, и҆ на пе́рсти согрѣ́етъ,

15

and has forgotten that the foot will scatter them, and the wild beasts of the field trample them.

καὶ ἐπελάθετο ὅτι ποὺς σκορπιεῖ καὶ θηρία ἀγροῦ καταπατήσει·

и҆ забы̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ нога̀ разбїе́тъ, и҆ ѕвѣ́рїе се́льнїи поперꙋ́тъ:

16

She has hardened [herself] against her young ones, as though [she bereaved] not herself: she labours in vain without fear.

ἀπεσκλήρυνε τὰ τέκνα ἑαυτῆς, ὥστε μὴ ἑαυτήν, εἰς κενὸν ἐκοπίασεν ἄνευ φόβου·

ѡ҆жесточи́сѧ на ча̑да своѧ̑, а҆́ки бы не є҆ѧ̀, вотщѐ трꙋди́сѧ без̾ стра́ха,

17

For God has withholden wisdom from her, and not given her a portion in understanding.

ὅτι κατεσιώπησεν αὐτῇ ὁ Θεὸς σοφίαν καὶ οὐκ ἐπεμέρισεν αὐτῇ ἐν τῇ συνέσει.

ꙗ҆́кѡ сокры̀ бг҃ъ є҆́й премꙋ́дрость и҆ не ᲂу҆дѣлѝ є҆́й въ ра́зꙋмѣ:

18

In her season she will lift herself on high; she will scorn the horse and his rider.

κατὰ καιρὸν ἐν ὕψει ὑψώσει, καταγελάσεται ἵππου καὶ τοῦ ἐπιβάτου αὐτοῦ.

во вре́мѧ же на высотꙋ̀ вознесе́тъ, посмѣе́тсѧ коню̀ и҆ сѣдѧ́щемꙋ на не́мъ.

19

Hast thou invested the horse with strength, and clothed his neck with terror?

ἦ σὺ περιέθηκας ἵππῳ δύναμιν, ἐνέδυσας δὲ τραχήλῳ αὐτοῦ φόβον;

И҆лѝ ты̀ ѡ҆бложи́лъ є҆сѝ конѧ̀ си́лою, и҆ ѡ҆бле́клъ же ли є҆сѝ вы́ю є҆гѡ̀ въ стра́хъ;

20

And hast thou clad him in perfect armour, and made his breast glorious with courage?

περιέθηκας δὲ αὐτῷ πανοπλίαν, δόξαν δὲ στηθέων αὐτοῦ τόλμῃ;

ѡ҆бложи́лъ же ли є҆сѝ є҆го̀ всеѻрꙋ́жїемъ, сла́вꙋ же пе́рсей є҆гѡ̀ де́рзостїю;

21

He paws exulting in the plain, and goes forth in strength into the plain.

ἀνορύσσων ἐν πεδίῳ γαυριᾷ, ἐκπορεύεται δὲ εἰς πεδίον ἐν ἰσχύϊ·

копы́томъ копа́ѧ на по́ли и҆гра́етъ и҆ и҆схо́дитъ на по́ле съ крѣ́постїю:

22

He laughs to scorn a king as he meets him, and will by no means turn back from the sword.

συναντῶν βασιλεῖ καταγελᾷ καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποστραφῇ ἀπὸ σιδήρου·

срѣта́ѧ стрѣ́лы посмѣѧва́етсѧ и҆ не ѿврати́тсѧ ѿ желѣ́за:

23

The bow and sword resound against him; and [his] rage will swallow up the ground:

ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ γαυριᾷ τόξον καὶ μάχαιρα,

над̾ ни́мъ и҆гра́етъ лꙋ́къ и҆ ме́чь,

24

and he will not believe until the trumpet sounds.

καὶ ὀργῇ ἀφανιεῖ τὴν γῆν καὶ οὐ μὴ πιστεύσει, ἕως ἂν σημάνῃ σάλπιγξ·

и҆ гнѣ́вомъ потреби́тъ зе́млю и҆ не и҆́мать вѣ́ры ꙗ҆́ти, до́ндеже вострꙋ́битъ трꙋба̀:

25

And when the trumpet sounds, he says, Aha! and afar off he smells the war with prancing and neighing.

σάλπιγγος δὲ σημαινούσης λέγει· εὖγε. πόρρωθεν δὲ ὀσφραίνεται πολέμου σὺν ἅλματι καὶ κραυγῇ.

трꙋбѣ́ же вострꙋби́вшей глаго́летъ, бла́гоже: и҆здале́ча же ѡ҆бонѧ́етъ ра́ть, со скака́нїемъ и҆ ржа́нїемъ.

26

And does the hawk remain steady by thy wisdom, having spread out her wings unmoved, looking toward the region of the south?

ἐκ δὲ τῆς σῆς ἐπιστήμης ἕστηκεν ἱέραξ, ἀναπετάσας τὰς πτέρυγας, ἀκίνητος, καθορῶν τὰ πρὸς νότον;

И҆ твое́ю ли хи́тростїю стои́тъ ꙗ҆́стребъ, распросте́ръ крилѣ̑ недви́жимь, зрѧ̀ на ю҆́гъ;

27

And does the eagle rise at thy command, and the vulture remain sitting over his nest,

ἐπὶ δὲ σῷ προστάγματι ὑψοῦται ἀετός, γὺψ δὲ ἐπὶ νοσσιᾶς αὐτοῦ καθεσθεὶς αὐλίζεται

Твои́мъ же ли повелѣ́нїемъ возно́ситсѧ ѻ҆ре́лъ, неѧ́сыть же на гнѣздѣ̀ свое́мъ сѣдѧ̀ вселѧ́етсѧ,

28

on a crag of a rock, and in a secret [place]?

ἐπ᾿ ἐξοχῇ πέτρας καὶ ἀποκρύφῳ;

на версѣ̀ ка́мене и҆ въ сокрове́нѣ;

29

Thence he seeks food, his eyes observe from far.

ἐκεῖσε ὢν ζητεῖ τὰ σῖτα, πόρρωθεν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ σκοπεύουσι·

та́мѡ же сы́й и҆́щетъ бра̑шна, и҆здале́ча ѻ҆́чи є҆гѡ̀ наблюда́ютъ,

30

And his young ones roll themselves in blood, and wherever the carcasses may be, immediately they are found.

νεοσσοὶ δὲ αὐτοῦ φύρονται ἐν αἵματι, οὗ δ᾿ ἂν ὦσι τεθνεῶτες, παραχρῆμα εὑρίσκονται. * Gr. a wing of delighted ones is the peacock. See Appendix

пти̑чищи же є҆гѡ̀ валѧ́ютсѧ въ кро́ви: и҆дѣ́же а҆́ще бꙋ́дꙋтъ мертвечи̑ны, а҆́бїе ѡ҆брѣта́ютсѧ.

Chapter 40

1

And the Lord God answered Job, and said,

ΚΑΙ ἀπεκρίθη Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τῷ ᾿Ιὼβ καὶ εἶπε·

Па́ки же ѿвѣща́въ гдⷭ҇ь, речѐ ко і҆́ѡвꙋ и҆з̾ ѡ҆́блака:

2

Will [any one] pervert judgment with the Mighty One? and he that reproves God, let him return it for answer.

μὴ κρίσιν μετὰ ἱκανοῦ ἐκκλινεῖ, ἐλέγχων δὲ Θεὸν ἀποκριθήσεται αὐτήν;

нѝ, но препоѧ́ши ꙗ҆́кѡ мꙋ́жъ чрє́сла твоѧ̑: вопрошꙋ́ же тѧ̀, ты́ же мѝ ѿвѣща́й.

3

And Job answered and said to the Lord,

ὑπολαβὼν δὲ ᾿Ιὼβ λέγει τῷ Κυρίῳ·

Не ѿверга́й сꙋда̀ моегѡ̀: мни́ши ли мѧ̀ и҆на́кѡ тебѣ̀ сотво́рша, ра́звѣ да ꙗ҆ви́шисѧ правди́въ;

4

Why do I yet plead? being rebuked even while reproving the Lord: hearing such things, whereas I am nothing: and what shall I answer to these [arguments]? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.

τί ἔτι ἐγὼ κρίνομαι, νουθετούμενος καὶ ἐλέγχων Κύριον, ἀκούων τοιαῦτα οὐθὲν ὤν; ἐγὼ δὲ τίνα ἀπόκρισιν δῶ πρὸς ταῦτα; χεῖρα θήσω ἐπὶ στόματί μου·

Є҆да̀ мы́шца тѝ є҆́сть на гдⷭ҇а, и҆лѝ гла́сомъ на него̀ греми́ши;

5

I have spoken once; but I will not do so a second time.

ἅπαξ λελάληκα, ἐπὶ δὲ τῷ δευτέρῳ οὐ προσθήσω.

Прїими́ же высотꙋ̀ и҆ си́лꙋ, въ сла́вꙋ же и҆ въ че́сть ѡ҆блецы́сѧ:

6

And the Lord yet again answered and spoke to Job out of the cloud, [saying],

ἔτι δὲ ὑπολαβὼν ὁ Κύριος εἶπε τῷ ᾿Ιὼβ ἐκ τοῦ νέφους·

пꙋсти́ же а҆́гг҃лы гнѣ́вомъ и҆ всѧ́каго ᲂу҆кори́телѧ смирѝ,

7

Nay, gird up now thy loins like a man; and I will ask thee, and do thou answer me.

μή, ἀλλὰ ζῶσαι ὥσπερ ἀνὴρ τὴν ὀσφύν σου, ἐρωτήσω δέ σε, σὺ δέ μοι ἀπόκριναι·

велича́ва же ᲂу҆гасѝ и҆ согно́й нечєсти́выѧ а҆́бїе:

8

Do not set aside my judgment: and dost thou think that I have dealt with thee in any other way, than that thou mightest appear to be righteous?

μὴ ἀποποιοῦ μου τὸ κρίμα. οἴει δέ με ἄλλως σοι κεχρηματικέναι ἢ ἵνα ἀναφανῇς δίκαιος;

скры́й же въ зе́млю внѣ̀ вкꙋ́пѣ и҆ ли́ца и҆́хъ безче́стїѧ и҆спо́лни.

9

Hast thou an arm like the Lord’s? or dost thou thunder with a voice like his?

ἦ βραχίων σοί ἐστι κατὰ τοῦ Κυρίου, ἢ φωνῇ κατ᾿ αὐτὸν βροντᾷς;

И҆сповѣ́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ мо́жетъ десни́ца твоѧ̀ спастѝ.

10

Assume now a lofty bearing and power; and clothe thyself with glory and honour.

ἀνάλαβε δὴ ὕψος καὶ δύναμιν, δόξαν δὲ καὶ τιμὴν ἀμφίασαι.

Но ᲂу҆́бѡ сѐ, ѕвѣ́рїе ᲂу҆ тебє̀, травꙋ̀ а҆́ки воло́ве ꙗ҆дѧ́тъ:

11

And send forth messengers with wrath; and lay low every haughty one.

ἀπόστειλον δὲ ἀγγέλους ὀργῇ, πάντα δὲ ὑβριστὴν ταπείνωσον·

сѐ ᲂу҆́бѡ, крѣ́пость є҆гѡ̀ на чре́слѣхъ, си́ла же є҆гѡ̀ на пꙋ́пѣ чре́ва:

12

Bring down also the proud man; and consume at once the ungodly.

ὑπερήφανον δὲ σβέσον, σῆψον δὲ ἀσεβεῖς παραχρῆμα,

поста́ви ѡ҆́шибъ ꙗ҆́кѡ кѷпарі́съ, жи̑лы же є҆гѡ̀ (꙳ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆́же) сплетє́ны сꙋ́ть,

13

And hide them together in the earth; and fill their faces with shame.

κρύψον δὲ εἰς γῆν ὁμοθυμαδόν, τὰ δὲ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ἀτιμίας ἔμπλησον·

ре́бра є҆гѡ̀ ре́бра мѣ̑дѧна, хребе́тъ же є҆гѡ̀ желѣ́зо слїѧ́но.

14

[Then] will I confess that thy right hand can save [thee].

ὁμολογήσω ὅτι δύναται ἡ δεξιά σου σῶσαι.

Сі́есть нача́ло созда́нїѧ гдⷭ҇нѧ: сотворе́нъ порꙋ́ганъ бы́ти а҆́гг҃лы є҆гѡ̀:

15

But now look at the wild beasts with thee; they eat grass like oxen.

ἀλλὰ δὴ ἰδοὺ θηρία παρά σοι, χόρτον ἴσα βουσὶν ἐσθίουσιν.

возше́дъ же на го́рꙋ стреми́ннꙋю, сотворѝ ра́дость четверонѡ́гимъ въ та́ртарѣ:

16

Behold now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.

ἰδοὺ δὴ ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ ὀσφύϊ, ἡ δὲ δύναμις αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾿ ὀμφαλοῦ γαστρός·

под̾ всѧ́кимъ дре́вомъ спи́тъ, при ро́гозѣ и҆ тро́стїи и҆ сїто́вїи:

17

He sets up his tail like a cypress; and his nerves are wrapped together.

ἔστησεν οὐρὰν ὡς κυπάρισσον, τὰ δὲ νεῦρα αὐτοῦ συμπέπλεκται·

ѡ҆сѣнѧ́ютъ же над̾ ни́мъ древеса̀ вели̑ка съ лѣ́торасльми и҆ вѣ̑тви напѡ́льныѧ:

18

His sides are sides of brass; and his backbone is [as] cast iron.

αἱ πλευραὶ αὐτοῦ πλευραὶ χάλκειαι, ἡ δὲ ῥάχις αὐτοῦ σίδηρος χυτός.

а҆́ще бꙋ́детъ наводне́нїе, не ѡ҆щꙋти́тъ: ᲂу҆пова́етъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ вни́детъ і҆ѻрда́нъ во ᲂу҆ста̀ є҆гѡ̀:

19

This is the chief of the creation of the Lord; made to be played with by his angels.

τοῦτ᾿ ἔστιν ἀρχὴ πλάσματος Κυρίου, πεποιημένον ἐγκαταπαίζεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ.

во ѻ҆́ко своѐ во́зметъ є҆го̀, ѡ҆жесточи́всѧ продира́витъ нѡ́здри.

20

And when he has gone up to a steep mountain, he causes joy to the quadrupeds in the deep.

ἐπελθὼν δὲ ἐπ᾿ ὄρος ἀκρότομον ἐποίησε χαρμονὴν τετράποσιν ἐν τῷ ταρτάρῳ.

И҆звлече́ши ли ѕмі́а ᲂу҆́дицею, и҆лѝ ѡ҆бложи́ши ᲂу҆здꙋ̀ ѡ҆ ноздре́хъ є҆гѡ̀;

21

He lies under trees of every kind, by the papyrus, and reed, and bulrush.

ὑπὸ παντοδαπὰ δένδρα κοιμᾶται, παρὰ πάπυρον καὶ κάλαμον καὶ βούτομον.

и҆лѝ вдѣ́жеши кольцѐ въ нѡ́здри є҆гѡ̀; ши́ломъ же проверти́ши ли ᲂу҆стнѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀;

22

And the great trees make a shadow over him with their branches, and [so do] the bushes of the field.

σκιάζονται δὲ ἐν αὐτῷ δένδρα μεγάλα σὺν ραδάμνοις καὶ κλῶνες ἀγροῦ.

возглаго́летъ же ли тѝ съ моле́нїемъ, (и҆лѝ) съ проше́нїемъ кро́ткѡ;

23

If there should be a flood, he will not perceive it; he trusts that Jordan will rush up into his mouth.

ἐὰν γένηται πλήμμυρα, οὐ μὴ αἰσθηθῇ· πέποιθεν ὅτι προσκρούσει ὁ ᾿Ιορδάνης εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ.

сотвори́тъ же ли завѣ́тъ съ тобо́ю; по́ймеши же ли є҆го̀ раба̀ вѣ́чна;

24

[Yet one] shall take him in his sight; [one] shall catch [him] with a cord, and pierce his nose.

ἐν τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ αὐτοῦ δέξεται αὐτόν, ἐνσκολιευόμενος τρήσει ρῖνα.

поигра́еши же ли съ ни́мъ, ꙗ҆́коже со пти́цею, и҆лѝ свѧ́жеши є҆го̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ вра́бїѧ дѣ́тищꙋ;

25

But wilt thou catch the serpent with a hook, and put a halter about his nose?

ἄξεις δὲ δράκοντα ἐν ἀγκίστρῳ, περιθήσεις δὲ φορβαίαν περὶ ρῖνα αὐτοῦ;

пита́ютсѧ ли же и҆́мъ ꙗ҆зы́цы, и҆ раздѣлѧ́ютъ ли є҆го̀ фїнїкі́йстїи наро́ди;

26

Or wilt thou fasten a ring in his nostril, and bore his lip with a clasp?

εἰ δήσεις κρίκον ἐν τῷ μυκτῆρι αὐτοῦ, ψελλίῳ δὲ τρυπήσεις τὸ χεῖλος αὐτοῦ;

всѧ̑ же пла̑вающаѧ собра́вшесѧ не под̾и́мꙋтъ ко́жи є҆ди́ныѧ ѡ҆́шиба є҆гѡ̀, и҆ корабли̑ ры́барей главы̀ є҆гѡ̀.

27

Will he address thee with a petition? softly, with the voice of a suppliant?

λαλήσει δέ σοι δεήσει, ἱκετηρίᾳ μαλακῶς;

Возложи́ши же ли на́нь рꙋ́кꙋ, воспомѧнꙋ́въ бра́нь быва́ющꙋю на тѣ́лѣ є҆гѡ̀; и҆ ктомꙋ̀ да не бꙋ́детъ.

28

And will he make a covenant with thee? and wilt thou take him for a perpetual servant?

θήσεται δὲ μετὰ σοῦ διαθήκην; λήψῃ δὲ αὐτὸν δοῦλον αἰώνιον;

29

And wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or bind him as a sparrow for a child?

παίξῃ δὲ ἐν αὐτῷ ὥσπερ ὀρνέῳ ἢ δήσεις αὐτὸν ὥσπερ στρουθίον παιδίῳ;

30

And do the nations feed upon him, and the nations of the Phoenicians share him?

ἐνσιτοῦνται δὲ ἐν αὐτῷ ἔθνη, μεριτεύονται δὲ αὐτὸν Φοινίκων ἔθνη;

31

And all the ships come together would not be able to bear the mere skin of his tail; neither [shall they carry] his head in fishing-vessels.

πᾶν δὲ πλωτὸν συνελθὸν οὐ μὴ ἐνέγκωσι βύρσαν μίαν οὐρᾶς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν πλοίοις ἁλιέων κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ.

32

But thou shalt lay thy hand upon him [once], remembering the war that is waged by his mouth; and let it not be done any more.

ἐπιθήσεις δὲ αὐτῷ χεῖρα μνησθεὶς πόλεμον τὸν γινόμενον ἐν σώματι αὐτοῦ, καὶ μηκέτι γινέσθω.

Chapter 41

1

Hast thou not seen him? and hast thou not wondered at the things said [of him]?

ΟΥΧ ἑώρακας αὐτόν, οὐδὲ ἐπὶ τοῖς λεγομένοις τεθαύμακας;

Не ви́дѣлъ ли є҆сѝ є҆го̀, и҆ глаго́лємымъ не ᲂу҆диви́лсѧ ли є҆сѝ; не ᲂу҆боѧ́лсѧ ли є҆сѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆гото́васѧ мѝ; Кто́ бо є҆́сть противлѧ́ѧйсѧ мнѣ̀, и҆лѝ кто̀ противоста́нетъ мѝ и҆ стерпи́тъ,

2

Dost thou not fear because preparation has been made by me? for who is there that resists me?

οὐ δέδοικας ὅτι ἡτοίμασταί μοι; τίς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἐμοὶ ἀντιστάς;

а҆́ще всѧ̀ поднебе́снаѧ моѧ̀ є҆́сть;

3

Or who will resist me, and abide, since the whole [world] under heaven is mine?

ἢ τίς ἀντιστήσεταί μοι καὶ ὑπομενεῖ, εἰ πᾶσα ἡ ὑπ᾿ οὐρανὸν ἐμή ἐστιν;

Не ᲂу҆молчꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀ ра́ди и҆ сло́вомъ си́лы поми́лꙋю ра́внаго є҆мꙋ̀.

4

I will not be silent because of him: though because of his power [one] shall pity his antagonist.

οὐ σιωπήσομαι δι᾿ αὐτόν, καὶ λόγον δυνάμεως ἐλεήσει τὸν ἴσον αὐτῷ.

Кто̀ ѿкры́етъ лицѐ ѡ҆блече́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀, въ согбе́нїе же пе́рсей є҆гѡ̀ кто̀ вни́детъ;

5

Who will open the face of his garment? and who can enter within the fold of his breastplate?

τίς ἀποκαλύψει πρόσωπον ἐνδύσεως αὐτοῦ, εἰς δὲ πτύξιν θώρακος αὐτοῦ τίς ἂν εἰσέλθοι;

Двє́ри лица̀ є҆гѡ̀ кто̀ ѿве́рзетъ; ѡ҆́крестъ зꙋбѡ́въ є҆гѡ̀ стра́хъ,

6

Who will open the doors of his face? terror is round about his teeth.

πύλας προσώπου αὐτοῦ τίς ἀνοίξει; κύκλῳ ὀδόντων αὐτοῦ φόβος.

ᲂу҆тро́ба є҆гѡ̀ щиты̀ мѣ̑дѧны, сою́зъ же є҆гѡ̀ ꙗ҆́коже смѷрі́тъ ка́мень,

7

His inwards are as brazen plates, and the texture of his [skin] as a smyrite stone.

τὰ ἔγκατα αὐτοῦ ἀσπίδες χάλκεαι, σύνδεσμος δὲ αὐτοῦ ὥσπερ σμυρίτης λίθος·

є҆ди́нъ ко дрꙋго́мꙋ прилипа́ютъ, дꙋ́хъ же не про́йдетъ є҆гѡ̀:

8

One [part] cleaves fast to another, and the air cannot come between them.

εἷς τοῦ ἑνὸς κολλῶνται, πνεῦμα δὲ οὐ μὴ διέλθῃ αὐτόν·

ꙗ҆́кѡ мꙋ́жъ бра́тꙋ своемꙋ̀ прилѣпи́тсѧ, содержа́тсѧ и҆ не ѿто́ргнꙋтсѧ.

9

They will remain united each to the other: they are closely joined, and cannot be separated.

ἀνὴρ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ προσκολληθήσεται, συνέχονται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποσπασθῶσιν.

Въ чха́нїи є҆гѡ̀ возблиста́етъ свѣ́тъ: ѻ҆́чи же є҆гѡ̀ видѣ́нїе денни́цы.

10

At his sneezing a light shines, and his eyes are [as] the appearance of the morning star.

ἐν πταρμῷ αὐτοῦ ἐπιφαύσκεται φέγγος, οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἶδος ῾Εωσφόρου.

И҆з̾ ᲂу҆́стъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆схо́дѧтъ а҆́ки свѣщы̀ горѧ́щыѧ, и҆ разме́щꙋтсѧ а҆́ки и҆́скры ѻ҆́гнєнныѧ:

11

Out of his mouth proceed as it were burning lamps, and as it were hearths of fire are cast abroad.

ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύονται ὡς λαμπάδες καιόμεναι καὶ διαρριπτοῦνται ὡς ἐσχάραι πυρός.

и҆з̾ ноздре́й є҆гѡ̀ и҆схо́дитъ ды́мъ пе́щи горѧ́щїѧ ѻ҆гне́мъ ᲂу҆́глїѧ:

12

Out of his nostrils proceeds smoke of a furnace burning with fire of coals.

ἐκ μυκτήρων αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύεται καπνὸς καμίνου καιομένης πυρὶ ἀνθράκων.

дꙋша́ же є҆гѡ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆́глїе, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ пла́мы и҆з̾ ꙗ҆́стъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆схо́дитъ.

13

His breath is [as] live coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.

ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἄνθρακες, φλὸξ δὲ ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύεται.

На вы́и же є҆гѡ̀ водворѧ́етсѧ си́ла, пред̾ ни́мъ тече́тъ па́гꙋба.

14

And power is lodged in his neck, before him destruction runs.

ἐν δὲ τραχήλῳ αὐτοῦ αὐλίζεται δύναμις, ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ τρέχει ἀπώλεια.

Плѡ́ти же тѣлесѐ є҆гѡ̀ сольпнꙋ́шасѧ: лїе́тъ на́нь, и҆ не подви́житсѧ.

15

The flesh also of his body is joined together: [if one] pours [violence] upon him, he shall not be moved.

σάρκες δὲ σώματος αὐτοῦ κεκόλληνται· καταχέει ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, οὐ σαλευθήσεται.

Се́рдце є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆жестѣ̀ а҆́ки ка́мень, стои́тъ же а҆́ки на́ковальнѧ неподви́жна.

16

His heart is firm as a stone, and it stands like an unyielding anvil.

ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ πέπηγεν ὡς λίθος, ἕστηκε δὲ ὥσπερ ἄκμων ἀνήλατος.

Ѡ҆бра́щшꙋсѧ же є҆мꙋ̀, стра́хъ ѕвѣрє́мъ четверонѡ́гимъ по землѝ ска́чꙋщымъ.

17

And when he turns, [he is] a terror to the four-footed wild beasts which leap upon the earth.

στραφέντος δὲ αὐτοῦ, φόβος θηρίοις τετράποσιν ἐπὶ γῆς ἁλλομένοις.

А҆́ще срѧ́щꙋтъ є҆го̀ ко́пїѧ, ничто́же сотворѧ́тъ є҆мꙋ̀, копїѐ вонзе́но и҆ бронѧ̀:

18

If spears should come against him, [men] will effect nothing, [either with] the spear or the breast-plate.

ἐὰν συναντήσωσιν αὐτῷ λόγχαι, οὐδὲν μὴ ποιήσωσι δόρυ καὶ θώρακα·

вмѣнѧ́етъ бо желѣ́зо а҆́ки плє́вы, мѣ́дь же а҆́ки дре́во гни́ло:

19

For he considers iron as chaff, and brass as rotten wood.

ἥγηται μὲν γὰρ σίδηρον ἄχυρα, χαλκὸν δὲ ὥσπερ ξύλον σαθρόν.

не ᲂу҆ѧзви́тъ є҆го̀ лꙋ́къ мѣ́дѧнъ, мни́тъ бо каменоме́тнꙋю пра́щꙋ а҆́ки сѣ́но:

20

The bow of brass shall not wound him, he deems a slinger as grass.

οὐ μὴ τρώσῃ αὐτὸν τόξον χάλκεον, ἥγηται μὲν πετροβόλον χόρτον·

а҆́ки сте́блїе вмѣни́шасѧ є҆мꙋ̀ мла́тове, рꙋга́етжесѧ трꙋ́сꙋ ѻ҆гнено́сномꙋ.

21

Mauls are counted as stubble; and he laughs to scorn the waving of the firebrand.

ὡς καλάμη ἐλογίσθησαν σφῦραι, καταγελᾷ δὲ σεισμοῦ πυρφόρου.

Ло́же є҆гѡ̀ ѻ҆стнѝ ѻ҆́стрїи, всѧ́ко же зла́то морско́е под̾ ни́мъ, ꙗ҆́коже бре́нїе безчи́сленно.

22

His lair is [formed of] sharp points; and all the gold of the sea under him is an immense [quantity of] clay.

ἡ στρωμνὴ αὐτοῦ ὀβελίσκοι ὀξεῖς, πᾶς δὲ χρυσὸς θαλάσσης ὑπ᾿ αὐτὸν ὥσπερ πηλὸς ἀμύθητος.

Возжиза́етъ бе́зднꙋ, ꙗ҆́коже пе́щь мѣ́дѧнꙋ: мни́тъ же мо́ре ꙗ҆́кѡ мѷрова́рницꙋ

23

He makes the deep boil like a brazen caldron; and he regards the sea as a pot of ointment,

ἀναζεῖ τὴν ἄβυσσον ὥσπερ χαλκεῖον, ἥγηται δὲ τὴν θάλασσαν ὥσπερ ἐξάλειπτρον,

и҆ та́ртаръ бе́здны ꙗ҆́коже плѣ́нника: вмѣни́лъ бе́зднꙋ въ прохожде́нїе.

24

and the lowest part of the deep as a captive: he reckons the deep as [his] range.

τὸν δὲ τάρταρον τῆς ἀβύσσου ὥσπερ αἰχμάλωτον· ἐλογίσατο ἄβυσσον εἰς περίπατον.

Ничто́же є҆́сть на землѝ подо́бно є҆мꙋ̀ сотворе́но, порꙋ́гано бы́ти а҆́гг҃лы мои́ми:

25

There is nothing upon the earth like to him, formed to be sported with by my angels.

οὐκ ἔστιν οὐδὲν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὅμοιον αὐτῷ πεποιημένον ἐγκαταπαίζεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων μου·

всѐ высо́кое зри́тъ: са́мъ же ца́рь всѣ̑мъ сꙋ́щымъ въ вода́хъ.

26

He beholds every high thing: and he is king of all that are in the waters.

πᾶν ὑψηλὸν ὁρᾷ, αὐτὸς δὲ βασιλεὺς πάντων τῶν ἐν τοῖς ὕδασιν.

Chapter 42

1

Then Job answered and said to the Lord,

ΥΠΟΛΑΒΩΝ δὲ ᾿Ιὼβ λέγει τῷ Κυρίῳ·

Ѿвѣща́въ же і҆́ѡвъ, речѐ ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ:

2

I know that thou canst do all things, and nothing is impossible with thee.

οἶδα ὅτι πάντα δύνασαι, ἀδυνατεῖ δέ σοι οὐδέν.

вѣ́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ̑ мо́жеши, невозмо́жно же тебѣ̀ ничто́же.

3

For who is he that hides counsel from thee? or who keeps back his words, and thinks to hide them from thee? and who will tell me what I knew not, great and wonderful things which I understood not?

τίς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ κρύπτων σε βουλήν; φειδόμενος δὲ ῥημάτων, καὶ σὲ οἴεται κρύπτειν; τίς δὲ ἀναγγελεῖ μοι ἃ οὐκ ᾔδειν, μεγάλα καὶ θαυμαστά, ἃ οὐκ ἐπιστάμην;

Кто́ є҆сть таѧ́й ѿ тебє̀ совѣ́тъ, щадѧ́й же словеса̀ и҆ ѿ тебє̀ мни́тсѧ ᲂу҆таи́ти; кто́ же возвѣсти́тъ мѝ, и҆́хже не вѣ́дѣхъ, вє́лїѧ и҆ ди̑внаѧ, и҆́хже не зна́хъ;

4

But hear me, O Lord, that I also may speak: and I will ask thee, and do thou teach me.

ἄκουσον δέ μου, Κύριε, ἵνα κἀγὼ λαλήσω· ἐρωτήσω δέ σε, σὺ δέ με δίδαξον.

Послꙋ́шай же менѐ, гдⷭ҇и, да и҆ а҆́зъ возглаго́лю: вопрошꙋ́ же тѧ̀, ты́ же мѧ̀ наꙋчѝ:

5

I have heard the report of thee by the ear before; but now mine eye has seen thee.

ἀκοὴν μὲν ὠτὸς ἤκουόν σου τὸ πρότερον, νυνὶ δὲ ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἑώρακέ σε·

слꙋ́хомъ ᲂу҆́бѡ ᲂу҆́ха слы́шахъ тѧ̀ пе́рвѣе, нн҃ѣ же ѻ҆́ко моѐ ви́дѣ тѧ̀:
