1 ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Σωφαρ ὁ Μιναῖος λέγει 2 οὐχ οὕτως ὑπελάμβανον ἀντερεῖν σε ταῦτα καὶ οὐχὶ συνίετε μᾶλλον ἢ καὶ ἐγώ 3 παιδείαν ἐντροπῆς μου ἀκούσομαι καὶ πνεῦμα ἐκ τῆς συνέσεως ἀποκρίνεταί μοι 4 μὴ ταῦτα ἔγνως ἀπὸ τοῦ ἔτι ἀφ' οὗ ἐτέθη ἄνθρωπος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς 5 εὐφροσύνη γὰρ ἀσεβῶν πτῶμα ἐξαίσιον χαρμονὴ δὲ παρανόμων ἀπώλεια 6 ἐὰν ἀναβῇ εἰς οὐρανὸν αὐτοῦ τὰ δῶρα ἡ δὲ θυσία αὐτοῦ νεφῶν ἅψηται 7 ὅταν γὰρ δοκῇ ἤδη κατεστηρίχθαι τότε εἰς τέλος ἀπολεῖται οἱ δὲ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν ἐροῦσιν ποῦ ἐστιν 8 ὥσπερ ἐνύπνιον ἐκπετασθὲν οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῇ ἔπτη δὲ ὥσπερ φάσμα νυκτερινόν 9 ὀφθαλμὸς παρέβλεψεν καὶ οὐ προσθήσει καὶ οὐκέτι προσνοήσει αὐτὸν ὁ τόπος αὐτοῦ 10 τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ ὀλέσαισαν ἥττονες αἱ δὲ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ πυρσεύσαισαν ὀδύνας 11 ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ ἐνεπλήσθησαν νεότητος αὐτοῦ καὶ μετ' αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ χώματος κοιμηθήσεται 12 ἐὰν γλυκανθῇ ἐν στόματι αὐτοῦ κακία κρύψει αὐτὴν ὑπὸ τὴν γλῶσσαν αὐτοῦ 13 οὐ φείσεται αὐτῆς καὶ οὐκ ἐγκαταλείψει αὐτὴν καὶ συνέξει αὐτὴν ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λάρυγγος αὐτοῦ 14 καὶ οὐ μὴ δυνηθῇ βοηθῆσαι ἑαυτῷ χολὴ ἀσπίδος ἐν γαστρὶ αὐτοῦ 15 πλοῦτος ἀδίκως συναγόμενος ἐξεμεσθήσεται ἐξ οἰκίας αὐτοῦ ἐξελκύσει αὐτὸν ἄγγελος 16 θυμὸν δὲ δρακόντων θηλάσειεν ἀνέλοι δὲ αὐτὸν γλῶσσα ὄφεως 17 μὴ ἴδοι ἄμελξιν νομάδων μηδὲ νομὰς μέλιτος καὶ βουτύρου 18 εἰς κενὰ καὶ μάταια ἐκοπίασεν πλοῦτον ἐξ οὗ οὐ γεύσεται ὥσπερ στρίφνος ἀμάσητος ἀκατάποτος 19 πολλῶν γὰρ ἀδυνάτων οἴκους ἔθλασεν δίαιταν δὲ ἥρπασεν καὶ οὐκ ἔστησεν 20 οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῦ σωτηρία τοῖς ὑπάρχουσιν ἐν ἐπιθυμίᾳ αὐτοῦ οὐ σωθήσεται 21 οὐκ ἔστιν ὑπόλειμμα τοῖς βρώμασιν αὐτοῦ διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἀνθήσει αὐτοῦ τὰ ἀγαθά 22 ὅταν δὲ δοκῇ ἤδη πεπληρῶσθαι θλιβήσεται πᾶσα δὲ ἀνάγκη ἐπ' αὐτὸν ἐπελεύσεται 23 εἴ πως πληρώσαι γαστέρα αὐτοῦ ἐπαποστείλαι ἐπ' αὐτὸν θυμὸν ὀργῆς νίψαι ἐπ' αὐτὸν ὀδύνας 24 καὶ οὐ μὴ σωθῇ ἐκ χειρὸς σιδήρου τρώσαι αὐτὸν τόξον χάλκειον 25 διεξέλθοι δὲ διὰ σώματος αὐτοῦ βέλος ἀστραπαὶ δὲ ἐν διαίταις αὐτοῦ περιπατήσαισαν ἐπ' αὐτῷ φόβοι 26 πᾶν δὲ σκότος αὐτῷ ὑπομείναι κατέδεται αὐτὸν πῦρ ἄκαυστον κακώσαι δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπήλυτος τὸν οἶκον 27 ἀνακαλύψαι δὲ αὐτοῦ ὁ οὐρανὸς τὰς ἀνομίας γῆ δὲ ἐπανασταίη αὐτῷ 28 ἑλκύσαι τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ἀπώλεια εἰς τέλος ἡμέρα ὀργῆς ἐπέλθοι αὐτῷ 29 αὕτη ἡ μερὶς ἀνθρώπου ἀσεβοῦς παρὰ κυρίου καὶ κτῆμα ὑπαρχόντων αὐτῷ παρὰ τοῦ ἐπισκόπου 1 Then Sophar the Naamathite answered, and said: 2 Therefore various thoughts succeed one another in me, and my mind is hurried away to different things. 3 The doctrine with which you reprove me, I will hear, and the spirit of my understanding shall answer for me. 4 This I know from the beginning, since man was placed upon the earth, 5 that the praise of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment. 6 If his pride mount up even to heaven, and his head touch the clouds: 7 In the end he shall be destroyed like a dunghill, and they that had seen him, shall say: Where is he? 8 As a dream that flees away he shall not be found, he shall pass as a vision of the night: 9 The eyes that had seen him, shall see him no more, neither shall his place any more behold him. 10 His children shall be oppressed with want, and his hands shall render to him his sorrow. 11 His bones shall be filled with the vices of his youth, and they shall sleep with him in the dust. 12 For when evil shall be sweet in his mouth, he will hide it under his tongue. 13 He will spare it, and not leave it, and will hide it in his throat. 14 His bread in his belly shall be turned into the gall of asps within him, 15 the riches which he has swallowed, he shall vomit up, and God shall draw them out of his belly. 16 He shall suck the head of asps, and the viper's tongue shall kill him. 17 Let him not see the streams of the river, the brooks of honey and of butter. 18 He shall be punished for all that he did, and yet shall not be consumed: according to the multitude of his devices so also shall he suffer. 19 Because he broke in and stripped the poor: he has violently taken away a house which he did not build. 20 And yet his belly was not filled: and when he has the things he coveted, he shall not be able to possess them. 21 There was nothing left of his meat, and therefore nothing shall continue of his goods: 22 When he shall be filled, he shall be straitened, he shall burn, and every sorrow shall fall upon him. 23 May his belly be filled, that God may send forth the wrath of his indignation upon him, and rain down his war upon him. 24 He shall flee from weapons of iron, and shall fall upon a bow of brass. 25 The sword is drawn out, and comes forth from its scabbard, and glitters in his bitterness: the terrible ones shall go and come upon him. 26 All darkness is hid in his secret places: a fire that is not kindled shall devour him, he shall be afflicted when left in his tabernacle. 27 The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and the earth shall rise up against him. 28 The offspring of his house shall be exposed, he shall be pulled down in the day of God's wrath. 29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the inheritance of his doings from the Lord. 1 Respondens autem Sophar Naamathites, dixit: 2 Idcirco cogitationes meæ variæ succedunt sibi, et mens in diversa rapitur. 3 Doctrinam qua me arguis audiam, et spiritus intelligentiæ meæ respondebit mihi. 4 Hoc scio a principio, ex quo positus est homo super terram, 5 quod laus impiorum brevis sit, et gaudium hypocritæ ad instar puncti. 6 Si ascenderit usque ad cælum superbia ejus, et caput ejus nubes tetigerit, 7 quasi sterquilinium in fine perdetur, et qui eum viderant, dicent : Ubi est? 8 Velut somnium avolans non invenietur : transiet sicut visio nocturna. 9 Oculus qui eum viderat non videbit, neque ultra intuebitur eum locus suus. 10 Filii ejus atterentur egestate, et manus illius reddent ei dolorem suum. 11 Ossa ejus implebuntur vitiis adolescentiæ ejus, et cum eo in pulvere dormient. 12 Cum enim dulce fuerit in ore ejus malum, abscondet illud sub lingua sua. 13 Parcet illi, et non derelinquet illud, et celabit in gutture suo. 14 Panis ejus in utero illius vertetur in fel aspidum intrinsecus. 15 Divitias quas devoravit evomet, et de ventre illius extrahet eas Deus. 16 Caput aspidum suget, et occidet eum lingua viperæ. 17 (Non videat rivulos fluminis, torrentes mellis et butyri.) 18 Luet quæ fecit omnia, nec tamen consumetur : juxta multitudinem adinventionum suarum, sic et sustinebit. 19 Quoniam confringens nudavit pauperes : domum rapuit, et non ædificavit eam. 20 Nec est satiatus venter ejus : et cum habuerit quæ concupierat, possidere non poterit. 21 Non remansit de cibo ejus, et propterea nihil permanebit de bonis ejus. 22 Cum satiatus fuerit, arctabitur : æstuabit, et omnis dolor irruet super eum. 23 Utinam impleatur venter ejus, ut emittat in eum iram furoris sui, et pluat super illum bellum suum. 24 Fugiet arma ferrea, et irruet in arcum æreum. 25 Eductus, et egrediens de vagina sua, et fulgurans in amaritudine sua : vadent et venient super eum horribiles. 26 Omnes tenebræ absconditæ sunt in occultis ejus; devorabit eum ignis qui non succenditur : affligetur relictus in tabernaculo suo. 27 Revelabunt cæli iniquitatem ejus, et terra consurget adversus eum. 28 Apertum erit germen domus illius : detrahetur in die furoris Dei. 29 Hæc est pars hominis impii a Deo, et hæreditas verborum ejus a Domino.
