< Job 32 >

1 And these three men cease from answering Job, for he [is] righteous in his own eyes,
فَكَفَّ هَؤُلاءِ الرِّجَالُ عَنِ الرَّدِّ عَلَى أَيُّوبَ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ مُقْتَنِعاً بِبَرَاءَةِ نَفْسِهِ.١
2 and the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite burns, of the family of Ram; his anger has burned against Job, because of his justifying himself more than God;
غَيْرَ أَنَّ غَضَبَ أَلِيهُو بْنِ بَرَخْئِيلَ الْبُوزِيِّ، مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ رَامٍ، احْتَدَمَ عَلَى أَيُّوبَ، لأَنَّهُ ظَنَّ نَفْسَهُ أَبَرَّ مِنَ اللهِ،٢
3 and his anger has burned against his three friends, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job.
كَمَا غَضِبَ أَيْضاً عَلَى أَصْحَابِ أَيُّوبَ الثَّلاثَةِ، لأَنَّهُمْ عَجَزُوا عَنِ الرَّدِّ عَلَيْهِ، مَعَ أَنَّهُمُ اسْتَذْنَبُوهُ.٣
4 And Elihu has waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days.
وَكَانَ أَلِيهُو قَدْ لَزِمَ الصَّمْتَ حَتَّى فَرَغُوا مِنَ الْكَلامِ مَعَ أَيُّوبَ، لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا أَكْبَرَ مِنْهُ سِنّاً.٤
5 And Elihu sees that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burns.
وَلَمَّا رَأَى أَلِيهُو أَنَّ الرِّجَالَ الثَّلاثَةَ قَدْ أَخْفَقُوا فِي إِجَابَةِ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ بِغَضَبٍ مُحْتَدِمٍ:٥
6 And Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answers and says: “I [am] young in days, and you [are] aged; Therefore I have feared, And am afraid of showing you my opinion.
«أَنَا صَغِيرُ السِّنِّ وَأَنْتُمْ شُيُوخٌ، لِذَلِكَ تَهَيَّبْتُ وَخِفْتُ أَنْ أُبْدِيَ لَكُمْ رَأْيِي،٦
7 I said, Days speak, And a multitude of years teach wisdom.
قَائِلاً لِنَفْسِي:’لِتَتَكَلَّمِ الأَيَّامُ، وَلْتُلَقِّنْ كَثْرَةُ السِّنِينَ حِكْمَةً.‘٧
8 Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Causes them to understand.
وَلَكِنَّ الرُّوحَ الَّذِي فِي الإِنْسَانِ، وَنَسَمَةَ الْقَدِيرِ، تُعْطِي الإِنْسَانَ فَهْماً.٨
9 The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.
لَيْسَ الْمُسِنُّونَ وَحْدَهُمْ هُمُ الْحُكَمَاءَ، وَلا الشُّيُوخُ فَقَطْ يُدْرِكُونَ الْحَقَّ.٩
10 Therefore I have said: Listen to me, I show my opinion—even I.
لِذَلِكَ أَقُولُ: أَصْغُوا إِلَيَّ لأُحَدِّثَكُمْ بِمَا أَعْرِفُ.١٠
11 Behold, I have waited for your words, I give ear to your reasons, Until you search out sayings.
لَقَدْ أَنْصَتُّ بِصَبْرٍ حِينَ تَكَلَّمْتُمْ، وَاسْتَمَعْتُ إِلَى حُجَجِكُمْ حِينَ بَحَثْتُمْ عَنِ الْكَلامِ،١١
12 And to you I attend, And behold, there is no reasoner for Job, [Or] answerer of his sayings among you.
وَأَوْلَيْتُكُمُ انْتِبَاهِي، فَلَمْ أَجِدْ فِي كَلامِكُمْ مَا أَفْحَمَ أَيُّوبَ، أَوْ رَدَّ عَلَى أَقْوَالِهِ.١٢
13 Lest you say, We have found wisdom, God thrusts him away, not man.
احْتَرِسُوا لِئَلّا تَقُولُوا إِنَّنَا قَدْ أَحْرَزْنَا حِكْمَةً، فَالرَّبُّ يُفْحِمُ أَيُّوبَ لَا الإِنْسَانُ.١٣
14 And he has not set words in array for me, And I do not answer him with your sayings.
إِنَّهُ لَمْ يُوَجِّهْ حَدِيثَهُ إِلَيَّ، لِذَلِكَ لَنْ أُجِيبَهُ بِمِثْلِ كَلامِكُمْ.١٤
15 (They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed words from themselves.
لَقَدْ تَحَيَّرُوا، يَا أَيُّوبُ، وَلَمْ يُجِيبُوا إِذْ أَعْيَاهُمُ النُّطْقُ،١٥
16 And I have waited, but they do not speak, For they have stood still, They have not answered anymore.)
فَهَلْ أَصْمُتُ لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمُوا، وَهَلْ أَمْتَنِعُ عَنِ الرَّدِّ؟١٦
17 I answer, even I—my share, I show my opinion—even I.
لا، سَأُجِيبُ أَنَا أَيْضاً وَأُبْدِي رَأْيِي،١٧
18 For I have been full of words, The spirit of my breast has distressed me,
لأَنِّي أَفِيضُ كَلاماً، وَالرُّوحُ فِي دَاخِلِي يُحَفِّزُنِي.١٨
19 Behold, my breast [is] as wine not opened, It is broken up like new bottles.
انْظُرُوا، إِنَّ قَلْبِي فِي دَاخِلِي كَخَمْرٍ لَمْ تُفْتَحْ، وَكَزِقَاقٍ جَدِيدَةٍ تَكَادُ تَنْشَقُّ!١٩
20 I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I open my lips and answer.
فَلأَتَكَلَّمَنَّ لأُفَرِّجَ عَنْ نَفْسِي، أَفْتَحُ شَفَتَيَّ لأُجِيبَ.٢٠
21 Please do not let me accept the face of any, Nor give flattering titles to man,
لَنْ أُحَابِيَ إِنْسَاناً أَوْ أَتَمَلَّقَ أَحَداً.٢١
22 For I have not known to give flattering titles, My Maker takes me away in a little.”
لأَنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ التَّمَلُّقَ، وَإلَّا يَقْضِي عَلَيَّ صَانِعِي سَرِيعاً.٢٢
