Job 32
1 So these three men gave no more answers to Job, because he seemed to himself to be right.
Maka ketiga orang itu menghentikan sanggahan mereka terhadap Ayub, karena ia menganggap dirinya benar.
2 And Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was angry, burning with wrath against Job, because he seemed to himself more right than God;
Lalu marahlah Elihu bin Barakheel, orang Bus, dari kaum Ram; ia marah terhadap Ayub, karena ia menganggap dirinya lebih benar dari pada Allah,
3 And he was angry with his three friends, because they had been unable to give him an answer, and had not made Job's sin clear.
dan ia juga marah terhadap ketiga orang sahabat itu, karena mereka mempersalahkan Ayub, meskipun tidak dapat memberikan sanggahan.
4 Now Elihu had kept quiet while Job was talking, because they were older than he;
Elihu menangguhkan bicaranya dengan Ayub, karena mereka lebih tua dari pada dia.
5 And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, he was very angry.
Tetapi setelah dilihatnya, bahwa mulut ketiga orang itu tidak lagi memberi sanggahan, maka marahlah ia.
6 And Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, made answer and said, I am young, and you are very old, so I was in fear, and kept myself from putting my knowledge before you.
Lalu berbicaralah Elihu bin Barakheel, orang Bus itu: "Aku masih muda dan kamu sudah berumur tinggi; oleh sebab itu aku malu dan takut mengemukakan pendapatku kepadamu.
7 I said to myself, It is right for the old to say what is in their minds, and for those who are far on in years to give out wisdom.
Pikirku: Biarlah yang sudah lanjut usianya berbicara, dan yang sudah banyak jumlah tahunnya memaparkan hikmat.
8 But truly it is the spirit in man, even the breath of the Ruler of all, which gives them knowledge.
Tetapi roh yang di dalam manusia, dan nafas Yang Mahakuasa, itulah yang memberi kepadanya pengertian.
9 It is not the old who are wise, and those who are full of years have not the knowledge of what is right.
Bukan orang yang lanjut umurnya yang mempunyai hikmat, bukan orang yang sudah tua yang mengerti keadilan.
10 So I say, Give ear to me, and I will put forward my knowledge.
Oleh sebab itu aku berkata: Dengarkanlah aku, akupun akan mengemukakan pendapatku.
11 I was waiting for your words, I was giving ear to your wise sayings; while you were searching out what to say,
Ketahuilah, aku telah menantikan kata-katamu, aku telah memperhatikan pemikiranmu, hingga kamu menemukan kata-kata yang tepat.
12 I was taking note; and truly not one of you was able to make clear Job's error, or to give an answer to his words.
Kepadamulah kupusatkan perhatianku, tetapi sesungguhnya, tiada seorangpun yang mengecam Ayub, tiada seorangpun di antara kamu menyanggah perkataannya.
13 Take care that you do not say, Wisdom is here; God may overcome him, but not man.
Jangan berkata sekarang: Kami sudah mendapatkan hikmat; hanya Allah yang dapat mengalahkan dia, bukan manusia.
14 I will not put forward words like these, or make use of your sayings in answer to him.
Perkataannya tidak tertuju kepadaku, dan aku tidak akan menjawabnya dengan perkataanmu.
15 Fear has overcome them, they have no more answers to give; they have come to an end of words.
Mereka bingung, mereka tidak dapat memberi sanggahan lagi, mereka tidak dapat berbicara lagi.
16 And am I to go on waiting while they have nothing to say? while they keep quiet and give no more answers?
Haruskah aku menunggu, karena mereka putus bicara, karena mereka berdiri di sana dan tidak memberi sanggahan lagi?
17 I will give my answer; I will put forward my knowledge:
Akupun hendak memberi sanggahan pada giliranku, akupun akan mengemukakan pendapatku.
18 For I am full of words, I am unable to keep in my breath any longer:
Karena aku tumpat dengan kata-kata, semangat yang ada dalam diriku mendesak aku.
19 My stomach is like wine which is unable to get out; like skins full of new wine, it is almost burst.
Sesungguhnya, batinku seperti anggur yang tidak mendapat jalan hawa, seperti kirbat baru yang akan meletup.
20 Let me say what is in my mind, so that I may get comfort; let me give answer with open mouth.
Aku harus berbicara, supaya merasa lega, aku harus membuka mulutku dan memberi sanggahan.
21 Let me not give respect to any man, or give names of honour to any living.
Aku tidak akan memihak kepada siapapun dan tidak akan menyanjung-nyanjung siapapun,
22 For I am not able to give names of honour to any man; and if I did, my Maker would quickly take me away.
karena aku tidak tahu menyanjung-nyanjung; jika demikian, maka segera Pembuatku akan mencabut nyawaku."
