< 約伯記 32 >

1 於是這三個人，因約伯自以為義就不再回答他。

So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

2 那時有布西人蘭族巴拉迦的兒子以利戶向約伯發怒；因約伯自以為義，不以上帝為義。

Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

3 他又向約伯的三個朋友發怒；因為他們想不出回答的話來，仍以約伯為有罪。

Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

4 以利戶要與約伯說話，就等候他們，因為他們比自己年老。

Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were older than he.

5 以利戶見這三個人口中無話回答，就怒氣發作。

And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.

6 布西人巴拉迦的兒子以利戶回答說：我年輕，你們老邁；因此我退讓，不敢向你們陳說我的意見。

And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said: I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I held back, and durst not declare you mine opinion.

7 我說，年老的當先說話；壽高的當以智慧教訓人。

I said: 'Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.'

8 但在人裏面有靈；全能者的氣使人有聰明。

But it is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty, that giveth them understanding.

9 尊貴的不都有智慧；壽高的不都能明白公平。

It is not the great that are wise, nor the aged that discern judgment.

10 因此我說：你們要聽我言；我也要陳說我的意見。

Therefore I say: 'Hearken to me; I also will declare mine opinion.'

11 你們查究所要說的話；那時我等候你們的話，側耳聽你們的辯論，

Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.

12 留心聽你們；誰知你們中間無一人折服約伯，駁倒他的話。

Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none that convinced Job, or that answered his words, among you.
