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.
Tako so ti trije možje prenehali odgovarjati Jobu, ker je bil pravičen v svojih lastnih očeh.
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].
Potem je bil vžgan bes Elihúja, Barahélovega sina, Buzéjca iz Rámovega rodu. Njegov bes je bil vžgan zoper Joba, ker je sebe bolj opravičeval kakor Boga.
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.
Tudi zoper njegove tri prijatelje je bil vžgan njegov bes, ker niso našli nobenega odgovora, pa so vendar obsodili Joba.
4 Elihu was younger than the others, so he waited [until they had finished speaking] before he replied to Job.
Torej Elihú je čakal, dokler Job ni spregovoril, ker so bili starejši kakor on.
5 But when Elihu realized that the three men had no more to say [MTY] to Job, he became angry.
Ko je Elihú videl, da ni bilo nobenega odgovora v ustih teh treh mož, je bil potem vžgan njegov bes.
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.
Elihú, Barahélov sin, Buzéjec, je odgovoril in rekel: »Jaz sem mlad, vi pa ste zelo stari, zato sem bil prestrašen in se vam nisem drznil pokazati svojega mnenja.
7 I thought, ‘Let those [PRS] who are much older speak, because older people [should be able to] say things that are wise.’
Rekel sem: ›Dnevi naj bi spregovorili in množica let naj bi učila modrost.‹
8 But the Spirit of Almighty [God] is within people, and it is he who enables them to be wise.
Toda v človeku je duh. Navdih Vsemogočnega jim daje razumevanje.
9 It is not people becoming old that enables them to be wise; not [all] old people understand what is right.
Veliki možje niso vedno modri niti ostareli ne razumejo sodbe.
10 “So, I say, ‘Listen to me, and allow me to say what I think.’
Zato sem rekel: ›Prisluhnite mi. Tudi jaz bom pokazal svoje mnenje.
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.
Glejte, čakal sem na vaše besede, prisluhnil sem vašim razlogom, medtem ko ste iskali, kaj bi rekli.
12 I paid attention carefully, but surprisingly, none of you were able to prove that what Job said was wrong.
Da, prisluhnil sem vam in glejte nikogar izmed vas ni bilo, da prepriča Joba ali da odgovori njegovim besedam,
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.
da ne bi rekli: ›Pridobili smo modrost. Bog ga suva dol, ne človek.‹
14 Job was replying to you, [not to me], but I will not reply to him by saying what you three said.
Torej svojih besed ni usmeril zoper mene niti mu ne bom odgovoril z vašimi govori.«
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].
Bili so osupli, niso več odgovarjali. Prenehali so govoriti.
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.
Ko sem čakal (kajti niso govorili, temveč mirno stali in niso več odgovarjali),
17 So [now] I also will reply [to Job] and say what I think.
sem rekel: »Tudi jaz bom odgovoril svoj del, tudi jaz bom pokazal svoje mišljenje.
18 I have plenty to say, and my spirit compels me to say it.
Kajti poln sem stvari, duh znotraj mene me sili.
19 My inner being is like [SIM] a (wineskin/bag that has (new/fermenting) wine in it), and it will soon burst.
Glejte, moj trebuh je kakor vino, ki nima oddušnika. Pripravljeno je, da poči kakor novi mehovi.
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].
Govoril bom, da bom lahko osvežen. Odprl bom svoje ustnice in odgovoril.
21 I will speak [fairly], not favoring any of you, and I will not try to flatter anyone.
Ne pustite mi, prosim vas, sprejeti obličja kateregakoli moža niti mi ne pustite, da dajem laskave nazive človeku.
22 I [really] do not know how to flatter people; and if I did that, God would soon get rid of me.”
Kajti ne znam dajati laskavih nazivov. Če bi tako počel, bi me moj stvarnik hitro odvedel.
