Job 32
1 And these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
| וַֽיִּשְׁבְּתוּ שְׁלֹשֶׁת הָאֲנָשִׁים הָאֵלֶּה מֵעֲנוֹת אֶת־אִיּוֹב כִּי הוּא צַדִּיק בְּעֵינָֽיו׃ |
2 Then was kindled the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his anger kindled, because he justified himself rather than God;
| וַיִּחַר אַף ׀ אֱלִיהוּא בֶן־בַּרַכְאֵל הַבּוּזִי מִמִּשְׁפַּחַת רָם בְּאִיּוֹב חָרָה אַפּוֹ עַֽל־צַדְּקוֹ נַפְשׁוֹ מֵאֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
3 and against his three friends was his anger kindled, because they found no answer, and [yet] condemned Job.
| וּבִשְׁלֹשֶׁת רֵעָיו חָרָה אַפּוֹ עַל אֲשֶׁר לֹא־מָצְאוּ מַעֲנֶה וַיַּרְשִׁיעוּ אֶת־אִיּֽוֹב׃ |
4 But Elihu had waited till Job had finished speaking, because they were older than he.
| וֶֽאֱלִיהוּ חִכָּה אֶת־אִיּוֹב בִּדְבָרִים כִּי זְֽקֵנִים־הֵמָּה מִמֶּנּוּ לְיָמִֽים׃ |
5 And Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger was kindled.
| וַיַּרְא אֱלִיהוּא כִּי אֵין מַעֲנֶה בְּפִי שְׁלֹשֶׁת הָאֲנָשִׁים וַיִּחַר אַפּֽוֹ׃ |
6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are aged; wherefore I was timid, and feared to shew you what I know.
| וַיַּעַן ׀ אֱלִיהוּא בֶן־בַּֽרַכְאֵל הַבּוּזִי וַיֹּאמַר צָעִיר אֲנִי לְיָמִים וְאַתֶּם יְשִׁישִׁים עַל־כֵּן זָחַלְתִּי וָֽאִירָא ׀ מֵחַוֺּת דֵּעִי אֶתְכֶֽם׃ |
7 I said, Let days speak, and multitude of years teach wisdom.
| אָמַרְתִּי יָמִים יְדַבֵּרוּ וְרֹב שָׁנִים יֹדִיעוּ חָכְמָֽה׃ |
8 But there is a spirit which is in man; and the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
| אָכֵן רֽוּחַ־הִיא בֶאֱנוֹשׁ וְנִשְׁמַת שַׁדַּי תְּבִינֵֽם׃ |
9 It is not the great that are wise; neither do the aged understand judgment.
| לֹֽא־רַבִּים יֶחְכָּמוּ וּזְקֵנִים יָבִינוּ מִשְׁפָּֽט׃ |
10 Therefore I say, Hearken to me; I also will shew what I know.
| לָכֵן אָמַרְתִּי שִׁמְעָה־לִּי אֲחַוֶּה דֵּעִי אַף־אָֽנִי׃ |
11 Lo, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasonings, until ye searched out what to say.
| הֵן הוֹחַלְתִּי לְֽדִבְרֵיכֶם אָזִין עַד־תְּבוּנֹֽתֵיכֶם עַֽד־תַּחְקְרוּן מִלִּֽין׃ |
12 Yea, I gave you mine attention, and behold, there was none of you that confuted Job, that answered his words;
| וְעָֽדֵיכֶם אֶתְבּוֹנָן וְהִנֵּה אֵין לְאִיּוֹב מוֹכִיחַ עוֹנֶה אֲמָרָיו מִכֶּֽם׃ |
13 That ye may not say, We have found out wisdom; God will make him yield, not man.
| פֶּן־תֹּאמְרוּ מָצָאנוּ חָכְמָה אֵל יִדְּפֶנּוּ לֹא־אִֽישׁ׃ |
14 Now he hath not directed [his] words against me; and I will not answer him with your speeches. ...
| וְלֹא־עָרַךְ אֵלַי מִלִּין וּבְאִמְרֵיכֶם לֹא אֲשִׁיבֶֽנּוּ׃ |
15 They were amazed, they answered no more; words failed them.
| חַתּוּ לֹא־עָנוּ עוֹד הֶעְתִּיקוּ מֵהֶם מִלִּֽים׃ |
16 And I waited, for they spoke not, but stood still, and answered no more; —
| וְהוֹחַלְתִּי כִּי־לֹא יְדַבֵּרוּ כִּי עָמְדוּ לֹא־עָנוּ עֽוֹד׃ |
17 I will answer, I also in my turn, I also will shew what I know:
| אַעֲנֶה אַף־אֲנִי חֶלְקִי אֲחַוֶּה דֵעִי אַף־אָֽנִי׃ |
18 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
| כִּי מָלֵתִי מִלִּים הֱצִיקַתְנִי רוּחַ בִּטְנִֽי׃ |
19 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; like new flasks, it is ready to burst.
| הִנֵּֽה־בִטְנִי כְּיַיִן לֹא־יִפָּתֵחַ כְּאֹבוֹת חֲדָשִׁים יִבָּקֵֽעַ׃ |
20 I will speak, that I may find relief; I will open my lips and answer.
| אֲדַבְּרָה וְיִֽרְוַֽח־לִי אֶפְתַּח שְׂפָתַי וְאֶֽעֱנֶֽה׃ |
21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person; neither will I give flattery to man.
| אַל־נָא אֶשָּׂא פְנֵי־אִישׁ וְאֶל־אָדָם לֹא אֲכַנֶּֽה׃ |
22 For I know not how to flatter; my Maker would soon take me away.
| כִּי לֹא יָדַעְתִּי אֲכַנֶּה כִּמְעַט יִשָּׂאֵנִי עֹשֵֽׂנִי׃ |
