Job 32
1 So these three men stopped answering Job because he was righteous in his own eyes.
omiserunt autem tres viri isti respondere Iob eo quod iustus sibi videretur
2 Then was kindled the anger of Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite, of the family of Ram; it was kindled against Job because he justified himself rather than God.
et iratus indignatusque Heliu filius Barachel Buzites de cognatione Ram iratus est autem adversus Iob eo quod iustum se esse diceret coram Deo
3 Elihu's anger was also kindled against his three friends because they had found no answer to Job, and yet they had condemned Job.
porro adversum amicos eius indignatus est eo quod non invenissent responsionem rationabilem sed tantummodo condemnassent Iob
4 Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because the other men were older than he.
igitur Heliu expectavit Iob loquentem eo quod seniores se essent qui loquebantur
5 However, when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouths of these three men, his anger was kindled.
cum autem vidisset quod tres respondere non potuissent iratus est vehementer
6 Then Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite spoke up and said, “I am young, and you are very old. That is why I held back and did not dare to tell you my own opinion.
respondensque Heliu filius Barachel Buzites dixit iunior sum tempore vos autem antiquiores idcirco dimisso capite veritus sum indicare vobis meam sententiam
7 I said, “Length of days should speak; a multitude of years should teach wisdom.
sperabam enim quod aetas prolixior loqueretur et annorum multitudo doceret sapientiam
8 But there is a spirit in a man; the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.
sed ut video spiritus est in hominibus et inspiratio Omnipotentis dat intellegentiam
9 It is not only the great people who are wise, nor the aged people alone who understand justice.
non sunt longevi sapientes nec senes intellegunt iudicium
10 Therefore I say to you, 'Listen to me; I will also tell you my knowledge.'
ideo dicam audite me ostendam vobis etiam ego meam scientiam
11 See, I waited for your words; I listened to your arguments while you were thinking about what to say.
expectavi enim sermones vestros audivi prudentiam vestram donec disceptaremini sermonibus
12 Indeed, I paid attention to you, but, see, there was not one of you who could convince Job or who could respond to his words.
et donec putabam vos aliquid dicere considerabam sed ut video non est qui arguere possit Iob et respondere ex vobis sermonibus eius
13 Be careful not to say, 'We have found wisdom!' God will have to defeat Job; mere man cannot do it.
ne forte dicatis invenimus sapientiam Deus proiecit eum non homo
14 For Job has not directed his words against me, so I will not answer him with your words.
nihil locutus est mihi et ego non secundum vestros sermones respondebo illi
15 These three men are dumbfounded; they can answer Job no longer; they have not a word more to say.
extimuerunt non responderunt ultra abstuleruntque a se eloquia
16 Should I wait because they are not speaking, because they stand there silent and answer no more?
quoniam igitur expectavi et non sunt locuti steterunt nec responderunt ultra
17 No, I also will answer on my part; I will also tell them my knowledge.
respondebo et ego partem meam et ostendam scientiam meam
18 For I am full of words; the spirit in me compels me.
plenus sum enim sermonibus et coartat me spiritus uteri mei
19 See, my breast is like fermenting wine that has no vent; like new wineskins, it is ready to burst.
en venter meus quasi mustum absque spiraculo quod lagunculas novas disrumpit
20 I will speak so that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer.
loquar et respirabo paululum aperiam labia mea et respondebo
21 I will not show favoritism; neither will I give honorific titles to any man.
non accipiam personam viri et Deum homini non aequabo
22 For I do not know how to give such titles; if I did so, my Maker would soon take me away.
nescio enim quamdiu subsistam et si post modicum tollat me factor meus
