Job 32
1 And his three friends also ceased any longer to answer Job: for Job was righteous before them.
ἡσύχασαν δὲ καὶ οἱ τρεῖς φίλοι αὐτοῦ ἔτι ἀντειπεῖν Ιωβ ἦν γὰρ Ιωβ δίκαιος ἐναντίον αὐτῶν
2 Then Elius the son of Barachiel, the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, of the country of Ausis, was angered: and he was very angry with Job, because he justified himself before the Lord.
ὠργίσθη δὲ Ελιους ὁ τοῦ Βαραχιηλ ὁ Βουζίτης ἐκ τῆς συγγενείας Ραμ τῆς Αυσίτιδος χώρας ὠργίσθη δὲ τῷ Ιωβ σφόδρα διότι ἀπέφηνεν ἑαυτὸν δίκαιον ἐναντίον κυρίου
3 And he was also very angry with [his] three friends, because they were not able to return answers to Job, yet set him down for an ungodly man.
καὶ κατὰ τῶν τριῶν δὲ φίλων ὠργίσθη σφόδρα διότι οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν ἀποκριθῆναι ἀντίθετα Ιωβ καὶ ἔθεντο αὐτὸν εἶναι ἀσεβῆ
4 But Elius had forborne to give an answer to Job, because they were older than he.
Ελιους δὲ ὑπέμεινεν δοῦναι ἀπόκρισιν Ιωβ ὅτι πρεσβύτεροι αὐτοῦ εἰσιν ἡμέραις
5 And Elius saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men; and he was angered in his wrath.
καὶ εἶδεν Ελιους ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀπόκρισις ἐν στόματι τῶν τριῶν ἀνδρῶν καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργὴ αὐτοῦ
6 And Elius the Buzite the son of Barachiel answered and said, I am younger in age, and you are elder, therefore I kept silence, fearing to declare to you my own knowledge.
ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ελιους ὁ τοῦ Βαραχιηλ ὁ Βουζίτης εἶπεν νεώτερος μέν εἰμι τῷ χρόνῳ ὑμεῖς δέ ἐστε πρεσβύτεροι διὸ ἡσύχασα φοβηθεὶς τοῦ ὑμῖν ἀναγγεῖλαι τὴν ἐμαυτοῦ ἐπιστήμην
7 And I said, It is not time that speaks, though in many years [men] know wisdom:
εἶπα δὲ ὅτι ὁ χρόνος ἐστὶν ὁ λαλῶν ἐν πολλοῖς δὲ ἔτεσιν οἴδασιν σοφίαν
8 but there is a spirit in mortals; and the inspiration of the Almighty is that which teaches.
ἀλλὰ πνεῦμά ἐστιν ἐν βροτοῖς πνοὴ δὲ παντοκράτορός ἐστιν ἡ διδάσκουσα
9 The long-lived are not wise [as such]; neither do the aged know judgement.
οὐχ οἱ πολυχρόνιοί εἰσιν σοφοί οὐδ’ οἱ γέροντες οἴδασιν κρίμα
10 Therefore I said, Hear me, and I will tell you what I know.
διὸ εἶπα ἀκούσατέ μου καὶ ἀναγγελῶ ὑμῖν ἃ οἶδα
11 Listen to my words; for I will speak in your hearing, until you shall have tried [the matter] with words:
ἐνωτίζεσθέ μου τὰ ῥήματα ἐρῶ γὰρ ὑμῶν ἀκουόντων ἄχρι οὗ ἐτάσητε λόγους
12 and I shall understand as far as you; and, behold, there was no one of you that answered Job his words in argument,
καὶ μέχρι ὑμῶν συνήσω καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἦν τῷ Ιωβ ἐλέγχων ἀνταποκρινόμενος ῥήματα αὐτοῦ ἐξ ὑμῶν
13 lest you should say, We have found that we have added wisdom to the Lord.
ἵνα μὴ εἴπητε εὕρομεν σοφίαν κυρίῳ προσθέμενοι
14 And you have commissioned a man to speak such words.
ἀνθρώπῳ δὲ ἐπετρέψατε λαλῆσαι τοιαῦτα ῥήματα
15 They were afraid, they answered no longer; they gave up their speaking.
ἐπτοήθησαν οὐκ ἀπεκρίθησαν ἔτι ἐπαλαίωσαν ἐξ αὐτῶν λόγους
16 I waited, (for I had not spoken, ) because they stood still, they answered not.
ὑπέμεινα οὐ γὰρ ἐλάλησαν ὅτι ἔστησαν οὐκ ἀπεκρίθησαν
17 And Elius continued, and said, I will again speak,
ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ελιους λέγει
18 for I am full of words, for the spirit of my belly destroys me.
πάλιν λαλήσω πλήρης γάρ εἰμι ῥημάτων ὀλέκει γάρ με τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς γαστρός
19 And my belly is as a skin of sweet wine, bound up [and] ready to burst; or as a brazier's labouring bellows.
ἡ δὲ γαστήρ μου ὥσπερ ἀσκὸς γλεύκους ζέων δεδεμένος ἢ ὥσπερ φυσητὴρ χαλκέως ἐρρηγώς
20 I will speak, that I may open my lips and relieve myself.
λαλήσω ἵνα ἀναπαύσωμαι ἀνοίξας τὰ χείλη
21 For truly I will not be awed because of man, nor indeed will I be confounded before a mortal.
ἄνθρωπον γὰρ οὐ μὴ αἰσχυνθῶ ἀλλὰ μὴν οὐδὲ βροτὸν οὐ μὴ ἐντραπῶ
22 For I know not how to respect persons: and if otherwise, even the moths would eat me.
οὐ γὰρ ἐπίσταμαι θαυμάσαι πρόσωπον εἰ δὲ μή καὶ ἐμὲ σῆτες ἔδονται
