< 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.
Böylece bu üç kişi Eyüp'e yanıt vermekten vazgeçti, çünkü Eyüp kendi doğruluğundan emindi.
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].
Ram ailesinden Bûzlu Barakel oğlu Elihu Eyüp'e çok öfkelendi. Çünkü Eyüp kendini Tanrı'dan haklı görüyordu.
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.
Elihu Eyüp'ün üç arkadaşına da öfkelendi, çünkü Eyüp'ü suçlamalarına karşın sağlam bir yanıt bulamamışlardı.
4 Elihu was younger than the others, so he waited [until they had finished speaking] before he replied to Job.
Elihu Eyüp'le konuşmak için sırasını beklemişti, çünkü ötekiler yaşça kendisinden büyüktü.
5 But when Elihu realized that the three men had no more to say [MTY] to Job, he became angry.
Bu üç kişinin başka bir şey söyleyemeyeceğini görünce öfkesi alevlendi.
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.
Bûzlu Barakel oğlu Elihu şöyle konuştu: “Ben yaşça küçüğüm, sizse yaşlısınız. Bu yüzden çekindim, bildiğimi söylemekten korktum.
7 I thought, ‘Let those [PRS] who are much older speak, because older people [should be able to] say things that are wise.’
‘Çok gün görenler konuşsun’ dedim, ‘Çok yıl yaşayanlar bilgeliği öğretsin.’
8 But the Spirit of Almighty [God] is within people, and it is he who enables them to be wise.
Oysa insana ruh, Her Şeye Gücü Yeten'in soluğu akıl verir.
9 It is not people becoming old that enables them to be wise; not [all] old people understand what is right.
Akıl yaşta değil baştadır. Adaleti anlamak yaşa bakmaz.
10 “So, I say, ‘Listen to me, and allow me to say what I think.’
“Bu yüzden, ‘Beni dinleyin’ diyorum, Ben de bildiğimi söyleyeyim.
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.
Siz konuşurken ben bekledim, Siz ne diyeceğinizi araştırırken Düşüncelerinizi dinledim.
12 I paid attention carefully, but surprisingly, none of you were able to prove that what Job said was wrong.
Bütün dikkatimi size çevirdim. Ama hiçbiriniz Eyüp'ün haksızlığını kanıtlayamadı, Onun söylediklerine karşılık veremedi.
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.
‘Biz bilgeliğe eriştik, Bırakın Tanrı onu haksız çıkarsın, insan değil’ demeyin.
14 Job was replying to you, [not to me], but I will not reply to him by saying what you three said.
Ama Eyüp'ün sözlerinin hedefi ben değildim, Bu yüzden onu sizin sözlerinizle yanıtlamayacağım.
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].
“Onlar yıldı, yanıt veremiyorlar artık, Söyleyecek şeyleri kalmadı.
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.
Onlar konuşmuyor diye ben beklemeli miyim, Duruyor, yanıt vermiyorlar diye?
17 So [now] I also will reply [to Job] and say what I think.
Benim de söyleyecek sözüm var, Ben de bildiğimi söyleyeceğim.
18 I have plenty to say, and my spirit compels me to say it.
Çünkü içim dolu, İçimdeki ruh beni zorluyor.
19 My inner being is like [SIM] a (wineskin/bag that has (new/fermenting) wine in it), and it will soon burst.
İçim açılmamış şarap gibi, Yeni şarap tulumları gibi patlamak üzere.
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].
Konuşup rahatlamalıyım, Ağzımı açıp yanıtlamalıyım.
21 I will speak [fairly], not favoring any of you, and I will not try to flatter anyone.
Kimseye ayrıcalık göstermeyecek, Kimseye yaltaklanmayacağım.
22 I [really] do not know how to flatter people; and if I did that, God would soon get rid of me.”
Çünkü yaltaklanmayı bilsem, Yaratıcım beni hemen yok ederdi.
