Job 32
1 And these three men cease from answering Job, for he [is] righteous in his own eyes,
于是这三个人，因约伯自以为义就不再回答他。
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;
那时有布西人兰族巴拉迦的儿子以利户向约伯发怒；因约伯自以为义，不以 神为义。
3 and his anger has burned against his three friends, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job.
他又向约伯的三个朋友发怒；因为他们想不出回答的话来，仍以约伯为有罪。
4 And Elihu has waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days.
以利户要与约伯说话，就等候他们，因为他们比自己年老。
5 And Elihu sees that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burns.
以利户见这三个人口中无话回答，就怒气发作。
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.
布西人巴拉迦的儿子以利户回答说： 我年轻，你们老迈； 因此我退让，不敢向你们陈说我的意见。
7 I said, Days speak, And a multitude of years teach wisdom.
我说，年老的当先说话； 寿高的当以智慧教训人。
8 Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Causes them to understand.
但在人里面有灵； 全能者的气使人有聪明。
9 The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.
尊贵的不都有智慧； 寿高的不都能明白公平。
10 Therefore I have said: Listen to me, I show my opinion—even I.
因此我说：你们要听我言； 我也要陈说我的意见。
11 Behold, I have waited for your words, I give ear to your reasons, Until you search out sayings.
你们查究所要说的话； 那时我等候你们的话， 侧耳听你们的辩论，
12 And to you I attend, And behold, there is no reasoner for Job, [Or] answerer of his sayings among you.
留心听你们； 谁知你们中间无一人折服约伯， 驳倒他的话。
13 Lest you say, We have found wisdom, God thrusts him away, not man.
你们切不可说：我们寻得智慧； 神能胜他，人却不能。
14 And he has not set words in array for me, And I do not answer him with your sayings.
约伯没有向我争辩； 我也不用你们的话回答他。
15 (They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed words from themselves.
他们惊奇不再回答， 一言不发。
16 And I have waited, but they do not speak, For they have stood still, They have not answered anymore.)
我岂因他们不说话， 站住不再回答，仍旧等候呢？
17 I answer, even I—my share, I show my opinion—even I.
我也要回答我的一分话， 陈说我的意见。
18 For I have been full of words, The spirit of my breast has distressed me,
因为我的言语满怀； 我里面的灵激动我。
19 Behold, my breast [is] as wine not opened, It is broken up like new bottles.
我的胸怀如盛酒之囊没有出气之缝， 又如新皮袋快要破裂。
20 I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I open my lips and answer.
我要说话，使我舒畅； 我要开口回答。
21 Please do not let me accept the face of any, Nor give flattering titles to man,
我必不看人的情面， 也不奉承人。
22 For I have not known to give flattering titles, My Maker takes me away in a little.”
我不晓得奉承； 若奉承，造我的主必快快除灭我。
