| 1 ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Σωφαρ ὁ Μιναῖος λέγει 2 ὁ τὰ πολλὰ λέγων καὶ ἀντακούσεται ἢ καὶ ὁ εὔλαλος οἴεται εἶναι δίκαιος εὐλογημένος γεννητὸς γυναικὸς ὀλιγόβιος 3 μὴ πολὺς ἐν ῥήμασιν γίνου οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἀντικρινόμενός σοι 4 μὴ γὰρ λέγε ὅτι καθαρός εἰμι τοῖς ἔργοις καὶ ἄμεμπτος ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ 5 ἀλλὰ πῶς ἂν ὁ κύριος λαλήσαι πρὸς σέ καὶ ἀνοίξει χείλη αὐτοῦ μετὰ σοῦ 6 εἶτα ἀναγγελεῖ σοι δύναμιν σοφίας ὅτι διπλοῦς ἔσται τῶν κατὰ σέ καὶ τότε γνώσῃ ὅτι ἄξιά σοι ἀπέβη ἀπὸ κυρίου ὧν ἡμάρτηκας 7 ἦ ἴχνος κυρίου εὑρήσεις ἢ εἰς τὰ ἔσχατα ἀφίκου ἃ ἐποίησεν ὁ παντοκράτωρ 8 ὑψηλὸς ὁ οὐρανός καὶ τί ποιήσεις βαθύτερα δὲ τῶν ἐν ᾅδου τί οἶδας 9 ἢ μακρότερα μέτρου γῆς ἢ εὔρους θαλάσσης 10 ἐὰν δὲ καταστρέψῃ τὰ πάντα τίς ἐρεῖ αὐτῷ τί ἐποίησας 11 αὐτὸς γὰρ οἶδεν ἔργα ἀνόμων ἰδὼν δὲ ἄτοπα οὐ παρόψεται 12 ἄνθρωπος δὲ ἄλλως νήχεται λόγοις βροτὸς δὲ γεννητὸς γυναικὸς ἴσα ὄνῳ ἐρημίτῃ 13 εἰ γὰρ σὺ καθαρὰν ἔθου τὴν καρδίαν σου ὑπτιάζεις δὲ χεῖρας πρὸς αὐτόν 14 εἰ ἄνομόν τί ἐστιν ἐν χερσίν σου πόρρω ποίησον αὐτὸ ἀπὸ σοῦ ἀδικία δὲ ἐν διαίτῃ σου μὴ αὐλισθήτω 15 οὕτως γὰρ ἀναλάμψει σου τὸ πρόσωπον ὥσπερ ὕδωρ καθαρόν ἐκδύσῃ δὲ ῥύπον καὶ οὐ μὴ φοβηθῇς 16 καὶ τὸν κόπον ἐπιλήσῃ ὥσπερ κῦμα παρελθὸν καὶ οὐ πτοηθήσῃ 17 ἡ δὲ εὐχή σου ὥσπερ ἑωσφόρος ἐκ δὲ μεσημβρίας ἀνατελεῖ σοι ζωή 18 πεποιθώς τε ἔσῃ ὅτι ἔστιν σοι ἐλπίς ἐκ δὲ μερίμνης καὶ φροντίδος ἀναφανεῖταί σοι εἰρήνη 19 ἡσυχάσεις γάρ καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ πολεμῶν σε μεταβαλόμενοι δὲ πολλοί σου δεηθήσονται 20 σωτηρία δὲ αὐτοὺς ἀπολείψει ἡ γὰρ ἐλπὶς αὐτῶν ἀπώλεια ὀφθαλμοὶ δὲ ἀσεβῶν τακήσονται | 1 Then Sophar the Naamathite answered, and said: 2 Shall not he that speaks much, hear also? Or shall a man full of talk be justified? 3 Shall men hold their peace to you only? And when you have mocked others, shall no man confute you? 4 For you have said: My word is pure, and I am clean in your sight. 5 And I wish that God would speak with you, and would open his lips to you, 6 that he might show you the secrets of wisdom, and that his law is manifold, and you might understand that he exacts much less of you, than your iniquity deserves. 7 Peradventure you will comprehend the steps of God, and will find out the Almighty perfectly? 8 He is higher than heaven, and what will you do? He is deeper than hell, and how will you know? 9 The measure of him is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea. 10 If he shall overturn all things, or shall press them together, who shall contradict him? 11 For he knows the vanity of men, and when he sees iniquity, does he not consider it? 12 A vain man is lifted up into pride, and thinks himself born free like a wild ass' colt. 13 But you have hardened your heart, and have spread your hands to him. 14 If you will put away from you the iniquity that is in your hand, and let not injustice remain in your tabernacle: 15 Then may you lift up your face without spot, and you shall be steadfast, and shall not fear. 16 You shall also forget misery, and remember it only as waters that are passed away. 17 And brightness like that of the noonday, shall arise to you at evening: and when you shall think yourself consumed, you shall rise as the day star. 18 And you shall have confidence, hope being set before you, and being buried you shall sleep secure. 19 You shall rest, and there shall be none to make you afraid: and many shall entreat your face. 20 But the eyes of the wicked shall decay, and the way to escape shall fail them, and their hope the abomination of the soul. | 1 Respondens autem Sophar Naamathites, dixit: 2 Numquid qui multa loquitur, non et audiet? aut vir verbosus justificabitur? 3 Tibi soli tacebunt homines? et cum ceteros irriseris, a nullo confutaberis? 4 Dixisti enim : Purus est sermo meus, et mundus sum in conspectu tuo. 5 Atque utinam Deus loqueretur tecum, et aperiret labia sua tibi, 6 ut ostenderet tibi secreta sapientiæ, et quod multiplex esset lex ejus : et intelligeres quod multo minora exigaris ab eo quam meretur iniquitas tua! 7 Forsitan vestigia Dei comprehendes, et usque ad perfectum Omnipotentem reperies? 8 Excelsior cælo est, et quid facies? profundior inferno, et unde cognosces? 9 Longior terra mensura ejus, et latior mari. 10 Si subverterit omnia, vel in unum coarctaverit, quis contradicet ei? 11 Ipse enim novit hominum vanitatem; et videns iniquitatem, nonne considerat? 12 Vir vanus in superbiam erigitur, et tamquam pullum onagri se liberum natum putat. 13 Tu autem firmasti cor tuum, et expandisti ad eum manus tuas. 14 Si iniquitatem quæ est in manu tua abstuleris a te, et non manserit in tabernaculo tuo injustitia, 15 tunc levare poteris faciem tuam absque macula; et eris stabilis, et non timebis. 16 Miseriæ quoque oblivisceris, et quasi aquarum quæ præterierunt recordaberis. 17 Et quasi meridianus fulgor consurget tibi ad vesperam; et cum te consumptum putaveris, orieris ut lucifer. 18 Et habebis fiduciam, proposita tibi spe : et defossus securus dormies. 19 Requiesces, et non erit qui te exterreat; et deprecabuntur faciem tuam plurimi. 20 Oculi autem impiorum deficient, et effugium peribit ab eis : et spes illorum abominatio animæ. |
