Job 32
1 So these three men stopped answering Job because he was righteous in his own eyes.
Y cesaron estos tres varones de responder a Job, por cuanto él era justo en sus ojos.
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.
Y Eliú, hijo de Baraquel, Buzita, de la familia de Ram, se enojó con furor contra Job: enojóse con furor, por cuanto justificaba su vida más que a Dios.
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.
Enojóse asimismo con furor contra sus tres amigos, por cuanto no hallaban que responder, habiendo condenado a Job.
4 Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because the other men were older than he.
Y Eliú había esperado a Job en la disputa; porque todos eran más viejos de días que él.
5 However, when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouths of these three men, his anger was kindled.
Y viendo Eliú que no había respuesta en la boca de aquellos tres varones, su furor se encendió.
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.
Y respondió Eliú, hijo de Baraquel, Buzita, y dijo: Yo soy menor de días, y vosotros viejos; por tanto he tenido miedo, y he temido de declararos mi opinión.
7 I said, “Length of days should speak; a multitude of years should teach wisdom.
Yo decía: Los días hablarán, y la muchedumbre de años declarará sabiduría.
8 But there is a spirit in a man; the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.
Ciertamente espíritu hay en el hombre, e inspiración del Omnipotente los hace que entiendan.
9 It is not only the great people who are wise, nor the aged people alone who understand justice.
No los grandes son los sabios: ni los viejos entienden el derecho.
10 Therefore I say to you, 'Listen to me; I will also tell you my knowledge.'
Por tanto yo dije: Escuchádme, declararé mi sabiduría yo también.
11 See, I waited for your words; I listened to your arguments while you were thinking about what to say.
He aquí, yo he esperado a vuestras razones, he escuchado vuestros argumentos entre tanto que buscáis palabras.
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.
Y aun os he considerado, y he aquí, que no hay de vosotros quien redarguya a Job, y responda a sus razones.
13 Be careful not to say, 'We have found wisdom!' God will have to defeat Job; mere man cannot do it.
Porque no digáis: Nosotros hemos hallado sabiduría: Dios le desechó, y no hombre.
14 For Job has not directed his words against me, so I will not answer him with your words.
Ni tampoco Job enderezó a mi sus palabras, ni yo le responderé con vuestras razones.
15 These three men are dumbfounded; they can answer Job no longer; they have not a word more to say.
Espantáronse, no respondieron más, quitáronseles las hablas.
16 Should I wait because they are not speaking, because they stand there silent and answer no more?
Y yo esperé, porque no hablaban: antes pararon, y no respondieron más.
17 No, I also will answer on my part; I will also tell them my knowledge.
Responderé pues también yo mi parte, declararé también yo mi opinión:
18 For I am full of words; the spirit in me compels me.
Porque estoy lleno de palabras: y el espíritu de mi vientre me constriñe.
19 See, my breast is like fermenting wine that has no vent; like new wineskins, it is ready to burst.
De cierto mi vientre es como el vino que no tiene respiradero, y se rompe como odres nuevos.
20 I will speak so that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer.
Hablaré pues, y respiraré: abriré mis labios, y responderé.
21 I will not show favoritism; neither will I give honorific titles to any man.
No haré ahora acepción de personas, ni usaré con hombre de lisonjeros títulos.
22 For I do not know how to give such titles; if I did so, my Maker would soon take me away.
Porque no sé hablar lisonjas: de otra manera en breve me consuma mi hacedor.
