| 1 | “Since times are not hidden from the Almighty, Why do those who know Him see not His days? |
|
διὰτίδὲκύριονέλαθονῶραι,
|
|
| 2 | “Some remove landmarks; They seize flocks violently and feed on them; |
|
ασεβεῖςδὲόριονυπερέβησανποίμνιονσὺνποιμένιαρπάσαντες;
|
|
| 3 | They drive away the donkey of the fatherless; They take the widow’s ox as a pledge. |
|
υποζύγιονορφανῶναπήγαγονκαὶβοῦνχήραςηνεχύρασαν.
|
|
| 4 | They push the needy off the road; All the poor of the land are forced to hide. |
|
εξέκλιναναδυνάτουςεξοδοῦδικαίας,ομοθυμαδὸνεκρύβησανπραεῖςγῆς.
|
|
| 5 | Indeed, like wild donkeys in the desert, They go out to their work, searching for food. The wilderness yields food for them and for their children. |
|
απέβησανδὲώσπερόνοιεναγρῶυπὲρεμοῦεξελθόντεςτὴνεαυτῶνπρᾶξιν·ηδύνθηαυτῶάρτοςειςνεωτέρους.
|
|
| 6 | They gather their fodder in the field And glean in the vineyard of the wicked. |
|
αγρὸνπρὸώραςουκαυτῶνόνταεθέρισαν·αδύνατοιδὲαμπελῶναςασεβῶναμισθὶκαὶασιτὶηργάσαντο.
|
|
| 7 | They spend the night naked, without clothing, And have no covering in the cold. |
|
γυμνοὺςπολλοὺςεκοίμισανάνευιματίων,αμφίασινδὲψυχῆςαυτῶναφείλαντο.
|
|
| 8 | They are wet with the showers of the mountains, And huddle around the rock for want of shelter. |
|
απὸψεκάδωνορέωνυγραίνονται,παρὰτὸμὴέχειναυτοὺςσκέπηνπέτρανπεριεβάλοντο.
|
|
| 9 | “Some snatch the fatherless from the breast, And take a pledge from the poor. |
|
ήρπασανορφανὸναπὸμαστοῦ,εκπεπτωκόταδὲεταπείνωσαν.
|
|
| 10 | They cause the poor to go naked, without clothing; And they take away the sheaves from the hungry. |
|
γυμνοὺςδὲεκοίμισαναδίκως,πεινώντωνδὲτὸνψωμὸναφείλαντο.
|
|
| 11 | They press out oil within their walls, And tread winepresses, yet suffer thirst. |
|
ενστενοῖςαδίκωςενήδρευσαν,οδὸνδὲδικαίανουκήδεισαν.
|
|
| 12 | The dying groan in the city, And the souls of the wounded cry out; Yet God does not charge them with wrong. |
|
οὶεκπόλεωςκαὶοίκωνιδίωνεξεβάλλοντο,ψυχὴδὲνηπίωνεστέναξενμέγα,αυτὸςδὲδιὰτίτούτωνεπισκοπὴνουπεποίηται;
|
|
| 13 | “There are those who rebel against the light; They do not know its ways Nor abide in its paths. |
|
επὶγῆςόντωναυτῶνκαὶουκεπέγνωσαν,οδὸνδὲδικαιοσύνηςουκήδεισανουδὲατραποὺςαυτῆςεπορεύθησαν.
|
|
| 14 | The murderer rises with the light; He kills the poor and needy; And in the night he is like a thief. |
|
γνοὺςδὲαυτῶντὰέργαπαρέδωκεναυτοὺςειςσκότος,καὶνυκτὸςέσταιωςκλέπτης.
|
|
| 15 | The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight, Saying, ‘No eye will see me’; And he disguises his face. |
|
καὶοφθαλμὸςμοιχοῦεφύλαξενσκότοςλέγωνΟυπροσνοήσειμεοφθαλμός,καὶαποκρυβὴνπροσώπουέθετο.
|
|
| 16 | In the dark they break into houses Which they marked for themselves in the daytime; They do not know the light. |
|
διώρυξενενσκότειοικίας·ημέραςεσφράγισανεαυτούς,ουκεπέγνωσανφῶς·
|
|
| 17 | For the morning is the same to them as the shadow of death; If someone recognizes them, They are in the terrors of the shadow of death. |
|
ότιομοθυμαδὸντὸπρωὶαυτοῖςσκιὰθανάτου,ότιεπιγνώσεταιταραχὰςσκιᾶςθανάτου.
|
|
| 18 | “They should be swift on the face of the waters, Their portion should be cursed in the earth, So that no one would turn into the way of their vineyards. |
|
ελαφρόςεστινεπὶπρόσωπονύδατος·καταραθείηημερὶςαυτῶνεπὶγῆς.
|
|
| 19 | As drought and heat consume the snow waters, So the grave consumes those who have sinned. |
|
αναφανείηδὲτὰφυτὰαυτῶνεπὶγῆςξηρά·αγκαλίδαγὰρορφανῶνήρπασαν.
|
|
| 20 | The womb should forget him, The worm should feed sweetly on him; He should be remembered no more, And wickedness should be broken like a tree. |
|
εῖτανεμνήσθηαυτοῦηαμαρτία,ώσπερδὲομίχληδρόσουαφανὴςεγένετο·αποδοθείηδὲαυτῶὰέπραξεν,συντριβείηδὲπᾶςάδικοςίσαξύλωανιάτω.
|
|
| 21 | For he preys on the barren who do not bear, And does no good for the widow. |
|
στεῖρανγὰρουκεῦεποίησενκαὶγύναιονουκηλέησεν,
|
|
| 22 | “But God draws the mighty away with His power; He rises up, but no man is sure of life. |
|
θυμῶδὲκατέστρεψεναδυνάτους.αναστὰςτοιγαροῦνουμὴπιστεύσηκατὰτῆςεαυτοῦζωῆς·
|
|
| 23 | He gives them security, and they rely on it; Yet His eyes are on their ways. |
|
μαλακισθεὶςμὴελπιζέτωυγιασθῆναι,αλλὰπεσεῖταινόσω.
|
|
| 24 | They are exalted for a little while, Then they are gone. They are brought low; They are taken out of the way like all others; They dry out like the heads of grain. |
|
πολλοὺςγὰρεκάκωσεντὸύψωμααυτοῦ·εμαράνθηδὲώσπερμολόχηενκαύματιὴώσπερστάχυςαπὸκαλάμηςαυτόματοςαποπεσών.
|
|
| 25 | “Now if it is not so, who will prove me a liar, And make my speech worth nothing?” |
|
ειδὲμή,τίςεστινοφάμενοςψευδῆμελέγεινκαὶθήσειειςουδὲντὰρήματάμου;
