Job 32
1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was 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 Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather 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 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned 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 Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were elder than he.
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 when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
以利户见这三个人口中无话回答，就怒气发作。
6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I held back, and durst not shew you mine 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 should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
我说，年老的当先说话； 寿高的当以智慧教训人。
8 But there is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
但在人里面有灵； 全能者的气使人有聪明。
9 It is not the great that are wise, nor the aged that understand judgment.
尊贵的不都有智慧； 寿高的不都能明白公平。
10 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.
因此我说：你们要听我言； 我也要陈说我的意见。
11 Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
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 Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none that convinced Job, or that answered his words, 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 Beware lest ye say, We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man:
你们切不可说：我们寻得智慧； 神能胜他，人却不能。
14 For he hath not directed his words against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches.
约伯没有向我争辩； 我也不用你们的话回答他。
15 They are amazed, they answer no more: they have not a word to say.
他们惊奇不再回答， 一言不发。
16 And shall I wait, because they speak not, because they stand still, and answer no more?
我岂因他们不说话， 站住不再回答，仍旧等候呢？
17 I also will answer my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
我也要回答我的一分话， 陈说我的意见。
18 For I am full of words; the spirit within me constraineth me.
因为我的言语满怀； 我里面的灵激动我。
19 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; like new bottles it is ready to burst.
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 will speak, that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer.
我要说话，使我舒畅； 我要开口回答。
21 Let me not, I pray you, respect any man’s person; neither will I give flattering titles unto any man.
我必不看人的情面， 也不奉承人。
22 For I know not to give flattering titles; [else] would my Maker soon take me away.
我不晓得奉承； 若奉承，造我的主必快快除灭我。
