Job 32
1 And his three friends also ceased any longer to answer Job: for Job was righteous before them.
Tako so ti trije možje prenehali odgovarjati Jobu, ker je bil pravičen v svojih lastnih očeh.
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.
Potem je bil vžgan bes Elihúja, Barahélovega sina, Buzéjca iz Rámovega rodu. Njegov bes je bil vžgan zoper Joba, ker je sebe bolj opravičeval kakor Boga.
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.
Tudi zoper njegove tri prijatelje je bil vžgan njegov bes, ker niso našli nobenega odgovora, pa so vendar obsodili Joba.
4 But Elius had forborne to give an answer to Job, because they were older than he.
Torej Elihú je čakal, dokler Job ni spregovoril, ker so bili starejši kakor on.
5 And Elius saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men; and he was angered in his wrath.
Ko je Elihú videl, da ni bilo nobenega odgovora v ustih teh treh mož, je bil potem vžgan njegov bes.
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.
Elihú, Barahélov sin, Buzéjec, je odgovoril in rekel: »Jaz sem mlad, vi pa ste zelo stari, zato sem bil prestrašen in se vam nisem drznil pokazati svojega mnenja.
7 And I said, It is not time that speaks, though in many years [men] know wisdom:
Rekel sem: ›Dnevi naj bi spregovorili in množica let naj bi učila modrost.‹
8 but there is a spirit in mortals; and the inspiration of the Almighty is that which teaches.
Toda v človeku je duh. Navdih Vsemogočnega jim daje razumevanje.
9 The long-lived are not wise [as such]; neither do the aged know judgement.
Veliki možje niso vedno modri niti ostareli ne razumejo sodbe.
10 Therefore I said, Hear me, and I will tell you what I know.
Zato sem rekel: ›Prisluhnite mi. Tudi jaz bom pokazal svoje mnenje.
11 Listen to my words; for I will speak in your hearing, until you shall have tried [the matter] with words:
Glejte, čakal sem na vaše besede, prisluhnil sem vašim razlogom, medtem ko ste iskali, kaj bi rekli.
12 and I shall understand as far as you; and, behold, there was no one of you that answered Job his words in argument,
Da, prisluhnil sem vam in glejte nikogar izmed vas ni bilo, da prepriča Joba ali da odgovori njegovim besedam,
13 lest you should say, We have found that we have added wisdom to the Lord.
da ne bi rekli: ›Pridobili smo modrost. Bog ga suva dol, ne človek.‹
14 And you have commissioned a man to speak such words.
Torej svojih besed ni usmeril zoper mene niti mu ne bom odgovoril z vašimi govori.«
15 They were afraid, they answered no longer; they gave up their speaking.
Bili so osupli, niso več odgovarjali. Prenehali so govoriti.
16 I waited, (for I had not spoken, ) because they stood still, they answered not.
Ko sem čakal (kajti niso govorili, temveč mirno stali in niso več odgovarjali),
17 And Elius continued, and said, I will again speak,
sem rekel: »Tudi jaz bom odgovoril svoj del, tudi jaz bom pokazal svoje mišljenje.
18 for I am full of words, for the spirit of my belly destroys me.
Kajti poln sem stvari, duh znotraj mene me sili.
19 And my belly is as a skin of sweet wine, bound up [and] ready to burst; or as a brazier's labouring bellows.
Glejte, moj trebuh je kakor vino, ki nima oddušnika. Pripravljeno je, da poči kakor novi mehovi.
20 I will speak, that I may open my lips and relieve myself.
Govoril bom, da bom lahko osvežen. Odprl bom svoje ustnice in odgovoril.
21 For truly I will not be awed because of man, nor indeed will I be confounded before a mortal.
Ne pustite mi, prosim vas, sprejeti obličja kateregakoli moža niti mi ne pustite, da dajem laskave nazive človeku.
22 For I know not how to respect persons: and if otherwise, even the moths would eat me.
Kajti ne znam dajati laskavih nazivov. Če bi tako počel, bi me moj stvarnik hitro odvedel.
