Job 32
1 And these three men cease from answering Job, for he [is] righteous in his own eyes,
於是這三個人，因約伯自以為義就不再回答他。
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;
那時有布西人蘭族巴拉迦的兒子以利戶向約伯發怒；因約伯自以為義，不以上帝為義。
3 and his anger has burned against his three friends, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job.
他又向約伯的三個朋友發怒；因為他們想不出回答的話來，仍以約伯為有罪。
4 And Elihu has waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days.
以利戶要與約伯說話，就等候他們，因為他們比自己年老。
5 And Elihu sees that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burns.
以利戶見這三個人口中無話回答，就怒氣發作。
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.
布西人巴拉迦的兒子以利戶回答說： 我年輕，你們老邁； 因此我退讓，不敢向你們陳說我的意見。
7 I said, Days speak, And a multitude of years teach wisdom.
我說，年老的當先說話； 壽高的當以智慧教訓人。
8 Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Causes them to understand.
但在人裏面有靈； 全能者的氣使人有聰明。
9 The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.
尊貴的不都有智慧； 壽高的不都能明白公平。
10 Therefore I have said: Listen to me, I show my opinion—even I.
因此我說：你們要聽我言； 我也要陳說我的意見。
11 Behold, I have waited for your words, I give ear to your reasons, Until you search out sayings.
你們查究所要說的話； 那時我等候你們的話， 側耳聽你們的辯論，
12 And to you I attend, And behold, there is no reasoner for Job, [Or] answerer of his sayings among you.
留心聽你們； 誰知你們中間無一人折服約伯， 駁倒他的話。
13 Lest you say, We have found wisdom, God thrusts him away, not man.
你們切不可說：我們尋得智慧； 上帝能勝他，人卻不能。
14 And he has not set words in array for me, And I do not answer him with your sayings.
約伯沒有向我爭辯； 我也不用你們的話回答他。
15 (They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed words from themselves.
他們驚奇不再回答， 一言不發。
16 And I have waited, but they do not speak, For they have stood still, They have not answered anymore.)
我豈因他們不說話， 站住不再回答，仍舊等候呢？
17 I answer, even I—my share, I show my opinion—even I.
我也要回答我的一分話， 陳說我的意見。
18 For I have been full of words, The spirit of my breast has distressed me,
因為我的言語滿懷； 我裏面的靈激動我。
19 Behold, my breast [is] as wine not opened, It is broken up like new bottles.
我的胸懷如盛酒之囊沒有出氣之縫， 又如新皮袋快要破裂。
20 I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I open my lips and answer.
我要說話，使我舒暢； 我要開口回答。
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.”
我不曉得奉承； 若奉承，造我的主必快快除滅我。
