| 1 | “Call out now; Is there anyone who will answer you? And to which of the holy ones will you turn? |
|
επικάλεσαιδέ,είτίςσοιυπακούσεται,ὴείτινααγγέλωναγίωνόψη.
|
|
| 2 | For wrath kills a foolish man, And envy slays a simple one. |
|
καὶγὰράφρονααναιρεῖοργή,πεπλανημένονδὲθανατοῖζῆλος.
|
|
| 3 | I have seen the foolish taking root, But suddenly I cursed his dwelling place. |
|
εγὼδὲεώρακαάφροναςρίζανβάλλοντας,αλλ᾿ευθέωςεβρώθηαυτῶνηδίαιτα.
|
|
| 4 | His sons are far from safety, They are crushed in the gate, And there is no deliverer. |
|
πόρρωγένοιντοοιυιοὶαυτῶναπὸσωτηρίας,κολαβρισθείησανδὲεπὶθύραιςησσόνων,καὶουκέσταιοεξαιρούμενος·
|
|
| 5 | Because the hungry eat up his harvest, Taking it even from the thorns, And a snare snatches their substance. |
|
ὰγὰρεκεῖνοισυνήγαγον,δίκαιοιέδονται,αυτοὶδὲεκκακῶνουκεξαίρετοιέσονται,εκσιφωνισθείηαυτῶνηισχύς.
|
|
| 6 | For affliction does not come from the dust, Nor does trouble spring from the ground; |
|
ουγὰρμὴεξέλθηεκτῆςγῆςκόπος,ουδὲεξορέωναναβλαστήσειπόνος·
|
|
| 7 | Yet man is born to trouble, As the sparks fly upward. |
|
αλλὰάνθρωποςγεννᾶταικόπω,νεοσσοὶδὲγυπὸςτὰυψηλὰπέτονται.
|
|
| 8 | “But as for me, I would seek God, And to God I would commit my cause— |
|
ουμὴνδὲαλλὰεγὼδεηθήσομαικυρίου,κύριονδὲτὸνπάντωνδεσπότηνεπικαλέσομαι
|
|
| 9 | Who does great things, and unsearchable, Marvelous things without number. |
|
τὸνποιοῦνταμεγάλακαὶανεξιχνίαστα,ένδοξάτεκαὶεξαίσια,ῶνουκέστιναριθμός·
|
|
| 10 | He gives rain on the earth, And sends waters on the fields. |
|
τὸνδιδόνταυετὸνεπὶτὴνγῆν,αποστέλλονταύδωρεπὶτὴνυπ᾿ουρανόν·
|
|
| 11 | He sets on high those who are lowly, And those who mourn are lifted to safety. |
|
τὸνποιοῦνταταπεινοὺςειςύψοςκαὶαπολωλόταςεξεγείροντα·
|
|
| 12 | He frustrates the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot carry out their plans. |
|
διαλλάσσονταβουλὰςπανούργων,καὶουμὴποιήσουσιναιχεῖρεςαυτῶναληθές.
|
|
| 13 | He catches the wise in their own craftiness, And the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them. |
|
οκαταλαμβάνωνσοφοὺςεντῆφρονήσει,βουλὴνδὲπολυπλόκωνεξέστησεν·
|
|
| 14 | They meet with darkness in the daytime, And grope at noontime as in the night. |
|
ημέραςσυναντήσεταιαυτοῖςσκότος,τὸδὲμεσημβρινὸνψηλαφήσαισανίσανυκτί.
|
|
| 15 | But He saves the needy from the sword, From the mouth of the mighty, And from their hand. |
|
απόλοιντοδὲενπολέμω,αδύνατοςδὲεξέλθοιεκχειρὸςδυνάστου·
|
|
| 16 | So the poor have hope, And injustice shuts her mouth. |
|
είηδὲαδυνάτωελπίς,αδίκουδὲστόμαεμφραχθείη.
|
|
| 17 | “Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty. |
|
μακάριοςδὲάνθρωπος,ὸνήλεγξενοκύριος·νουθέτημαδὲπαντοκράτοροςμὴαπαναίνου.
|
|
| 18 | For He bruises, but He binds up; He wounds, but His hands make whole. |
|
αυτὸςγὰραλγεῖνποιεῖκαὶπάλιναποκαθίστησιν·έπαισεν,καὶαιχεῖρεςαυτοῦιάσαντο.
|
|
| 19 | He shall deliver you in six troubles, Yes, in seven no evil shall touch you. |
|
εξάκιςεξαναγκῶνσεεξελεῖται,ενδὲτῶεβδόμωουμὴάψηταίσουκακόν.
|
|
| 20 | In famine He shall redeem you from death, And in war from the power of the sword. |
|
ενλιμῶρύσεταίσεεκθανάτου,ενπολέμωδὲεκχειρὸςσιδήρουλύσεισε.
|
|
| 21 | You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, And you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes. |
|
απὸμάστιγοςγλώσσηςσεκρύψει,καὶουμὴφοβηθῆςαπὸκακῶνερχομένων.
|
|
| 22 | You shall laugh at destruction and famine, And you shall not be afraid of the beasts of the earth. |
|
αδίκωνκαὶανόμωνκαταγελάση,απὸδὲθηρίωναγρίωνουμὴφοβηθῆς·
|
|
| 23 | For you shall have a covenant with the stones of the field, And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you. |
|
θῆρεςγὰράγριοιειρηνεύσουσίνσοι.
|
|
| 24 | You shall know that your tent is in peace; You shall visit your dwelling and find nothing amiss. |
|
εῖταγνώσηότιειρηνεύσεισουοοῖκος,ηδὲδίαιτατῆςσκηνῆςσουουμὴαμάρτη.
|
|
| 25 | You shall also know that your descendants shall be many, And your offspring like the grass of the earth. |
|
γνώσηδὲότιπολὺτὸσπέρμασου,τὰδὲτέκνασουέσταιώσπερτὸπαμβότανοντοῦαγροῦ.
|
|
| 26 | You shall come to the grave at a full age, As a sheaf of grain ripens in its season. |
|
ελεύσηδὲεντάφωώσπερσῖτοςώριμοςκατὰκαιρὸνθεριζόμενοςὴώσπερθιμωνιὰάλωνοςκαθ᾿ώρανσυγκομισθεῖσα.
|
|
| 27 | Behold, this we have searched out; It is true. Hear it, and know for yourself.” |
|
ιδοὺταῦταούτωςεξιχνιάσαμεν,ταῦτάεστινὰακηκόαμεν·σὺδὲγνῶθισεαυτῶείτιέπραξας.
