Job 32

1 So these three men ceased to respond to Job, because, he, was righteous in their eyes.

١ فَكَفَّ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلثَّلَاثَةُ عَنْ مُجَاوَبَةِ أَيُّوبَ لِكَوْنِهِ بَارًّا فِي عَيْنَيْ نَفْسِهِ.

2 Then was kindled the anger of Elihu, son of Barachel the Buzite of the family of Ram, —against Job, was kindled his anger, because he justified his own soul rather than God;

٢ فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ أَلِيهُوَ بْنِ بَرَخْئِيلَ ٱلْبُوزِيِّ مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ رَامٍ. عَلَى أَيُّوبَ حَمِيَ غَضَبُهُ لأِنَّهُ حَسِبَ نَفْسَهُ أَبَرَّ مِنَ ٱللهِ.

3 and, against his three friends, was kindled his anger, —because that they found not a response, and condemned God.

٣ وَعَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ حَمِيَ غَضَبُهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَجِدُوا جَوَابًا وَٱسْتَذْنَبُوا أَيُّوبَ.

4 But, Elihu, had waited for Job with words, because the others were older than he.

٤ وَكَانَ أَلِيهُو قَدْ صَبَرَ عَلَى أَيُّوبَ بِٱلْكَلَامِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ أَكْثَرُ مِنْهُ أَيَّامًا.

5 Howbeit, when Elihu saw that there was no response in the mouth of the three men, then was kindled his anger.

٥ فَلَمَّا رَأَى أَلِيهُو أَنَّهُ لَا جَوَابَ فِي أَفْوَاهِ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ حَمِيَ غَضَبُهُ.

6 So then Elihu, son of Barachel, the Buzite, responded and said: —Young, am I, whereas, ye, are aged, For this cause, I faltered, and feared—to shew my knowledge unto you:

٦ فَأَجَابَ أَلِيهُو بْنُ بَرَخْئِيلَ ٱلْبُوزِيُّ وَقَالَ: «أَنَا صَغِيرٌ فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ وَأَنْتُمْ شُيُوخٌ، لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ خِفْتُ وَخَشِيتُ أَنْ أُبْدِيَ لَكُمْ رَأْيِيِ.

7 I said, Days, should speak, —and, the multitude of years, should make known wisdom.

٧ قُلْتُ: ٱلْأَيَّامُ تَتَكَلَّمُ وَكَثْرَةُ ٱلسِّنِينِ تُظْهِرُ حِكْمَةً.

8 Yet surely, there is a spirit in men, and, the inspiration of the Almighty, giveth them understanding;

٨ وَلَكِنَّ فِي ٱلنَّاسِ رُوحًا، وَنَسَمَةُ ٱلْقَدِيرِ تُعَقِّلُهُمْ.

9 Great men, may not be wise, nor, elders, understand justice.

٩ لَيْسَ ٱلْكَثِيرُو ٱلْأَيَّامِ حُكَمَاءَ، وَلَا ٱلشُّيُوخُ يَفْهَمُونَ ٱلْحَقَّ.

10 Therefore, I said, Hearken unto me, I will show my knowledge—even I.

١٠ لِذَلِكَ قُلْتُ: ٱسْمَعُونِي. أَنَا أَيْضًا أُبْدِي رَأْيِيِ.

11 Lo! I waited for your words, I kept giving ear for your reasons, until ye should search out what to say;

١١ هَأَنَذَا قَدْ صَبَرْتُ لِكَلَامِكُمْ. أَصْغَيْتُ إِلَى حُجَجِكُمْ حَتَّى فَحَصْتُمُ ٱلْأَقْوَالَ.

12 Yea, unto you, gave I diligent heed, —But lo! there was, for Job, nothing to convince, nor could you of you answer his speeches.

١٢ فَتَأَمَّلْتُ فِيكُمْ وَإِذْ لَيْسَ مَنْ حَجَّ أَيُّوبَ، وَلَا جَوَابَ مِنْكُمْ لِكَلَامِهِ.

13 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom. GOD, must put him to flight, not man.

١٣ فَلَا تَقُولُوا: قَدْ وَجَدْنَا حِكْمَةً. ٱللهُ يَغْلِبُهُ لَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ.

14 Since he directed not to me discourse, therefore, with your speeches, will I not reply to him.

١٤ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُوَجِّهْ إِلَيَّ كَلَامَهُ وَلَا أَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ أَنَا بِكَلَامِكُمْ.

15 They were dismayed, they responded no more, they suffered speech to forsake them;

١٥ تَحَيَّرُوا. لَمْ يُجِيبُوا بَعْدُ. ٱنْتَزَعَ عَنْهُمُ ٱلْكَلَامُ.

16 Though I waited, yet could they not speak, Surely they came to a stand, they responded no more.

١٦ فَٱنْتَظَرْتُ لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمُوا. لِأَنَّهُمْ وَقَفُوا، لَمْ يُجِيبُوا بَعْدُ.

17 I will respond, even I—on my part, I will shew my knowledge, even I!

١٧ فَأُجِيبُ أَنَا أَيْضًا حِصَّتِي، وَأُبْدِي أَنَا أَيْضًا رَأْيِيِ.

18 For I am full of discourse, The spirit in my bosom, presseth me on.

١٨ لِأَنِّي مَلآنٌ أَقْوَالًا. رُوحُ بَاطِنِي تُضَايِقُنِي.

19 Lo! my bosom, is like wine not opened, Like new wine-skins, it will burst.

١٩ هُوَذَا بَطْنِي كَخَمْرٍ لَمْ تُفْتَحْ. كَٱلزِّقَاقِ ٱلْجَدِيدَةِ يَكَادُ يَنْشَقُّ.

20 I will speak, that I may freely breathe, I will open my lips and respond.

٢٠ أَتَكَلَّمُ فَأُفْرَجُ. أَفْتَحُ شَفَتَيَّ وَأُجِيبُ.

21 Let me be partial to no man, and, unto no son of earth, give flattering titles,

٢١ لَا أُحَابِيَنَّ وَجْهَ رَجُلٍ وَلَا أَمْلُثُ إِنْسَانًا.

22 Surely I know not how to give flattering titles, How soon might my Maker take me away!

٢٢ لِأَنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ ٱلْمَلْثَ. لِأَنَّهُ عَنْ قَلِيلٍ يَأْخُذُنِي صَانِعِي.
