< Job 32 >
1 Then those three men stopped answering Job, because [they could not convince Job that he was wrong in claiming that] he had not done anything that was wrong.
And they ceased [the] three the men these from answering Job for he [was] righteous in own eyes his.
2 Then Elihu, the son of Barachel, a descendant of Buz, from the clan of Ram, became very angry at Job. He was angry because Job continued to claim that he was righteous/innocent, and that God was wrong [to punish him].
And it burned [the] anger of - Elihu [the] son of Barakel the Buzite from [the] clan of Ram on Job it burned anger his because justified he self his more than God.
3 He was also angry with Job’s three friends, because they had declared that Job must have done many things that were wrong, but they were unable to convince Job [that what they said was true]. As a result, [it seemed to Elihu that] God did what was wrong by punishing Job.
And on [the] three companions his it burned anger his on that not they had found an answer and they had condemned as guilty Job.
4 Elihu was younger than the others, so he waited [until they had finished speaking] before he replied to Job.
And Elihu he had waited Job in words for [were] old they more than him to days.
5 But when Elihu realized that the three men had no more to say [MTY] to Job, he became angry.
And he saw Elihu that there not [was] an answer in [the] mouth of [the] three the men and it burned anger his.
6 And this is what he said: “I am young, and you all are much older than I am. So, I was timid, and I was afraid to tell you what I was thinking.
And he answered - Elihu [the] son of Barakel the Buzite and he said [am] young I to days and you [are] aged there-fore I was anxious and I was afraid - from telling knowledge my you.
7 I thought, ‘Let those [PRS] who are much older speak, because older people [should be able to] say things that are wise.’
I said days let them speak and abundance of years let them make known wisdom.
8 But the Spirit of Almighty [God] is within people, and it is he who enables them to be wise.
Nevertheless [is the] spirit it in a person and [the] breath of [the] Almighty [which] it gives understanding them.
9 It is not people becoming old that enables them to be wise; not [all] old people understand what is right.
Not many [people] they are wise and old [people] they understand justice.
10 “So, I say, ‘Listen to me, and allow me to say what I think.’
Therefore I say listen! to me I will tell knowledge my also I.
11 I waited for you all to speak; I wanted to hear the wise things that you would say. I waited while you thought carefully about what [would be the right things] to say.
Here! I waited for words your I gave ear to understanding your until you searched for! words.
12 I paid attention carefully, but surprisingly, none of you were able to prove that what Job said was wrong.
And to you I showed myself attentive and there! there not Job [was one who] rebuked [was one who] answered words his any of you.
13 So, do not say [to yourselves], ‘We have discovered what is wise!’ It is God who must (refute Job/show that what Job said was wrong), because you three have not been able to do that.
Lest you should say we have found wisdom God let him drive about him not a human.
14 Job was replying to you, [not to me], but I will not reply to him by saying what you three said.
And not he has arranged against me words and with words your not I will respond to him.
15 “You three are dismayed [because you have not been able to convince him that he was wrong], so you are not saying any more to him [DOU].
They are dismayed not they have answered again they have moved away from them words.
16 But because you do not speak, I certainly will not wait any longer [RHQ]; you merely stand there and do not reply any more.
And will I wait? that not they speak that they have stood not they have answered again.
17 So [now] I also will reply [to Job] and say what I think.
I will answer also I part my I will tell knowledge my also I.
18 I have plenty to say, and my spirit compels me to say it.
For I am full words it has constrained me [the] spirit of belly my.
19 My inner being is like [SIM] a (wineskin/bag that has (new/fermenting) wine in it), and it will soon burst.
Here! belly my [is] like wine [which] not it is opened like wineskins new it will be split open.
20 I must speak [MTY], in order that I do not have to keep holding what I want to say; I must say something [MTY] to reply [to you all].
Let me speak and it may be relieved to me let me open lips my so I may answer.
21 I will speak [fairly], not favoring any of you, and I will not try to flatter anyone.
May not please I lift up [the] face of anyone and to anyone not I will use flattery.
22 I [really] do not know how to flatter people; and if I did that, God would soon get rid of me.”
For not I know I will use flattery like a little he will carry away me [the one who] made me.
