ਅੱਯੂਬ 32
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.
2 ੨ ਫੇਰ ਬਰਕਏਲ ਬੂਜ਼ੀ ਦਾ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਅਲੀਹੂ ਜੋ ਰਾਮ ਦੇ ਟੱਬਰ ਦਾ ਸੀ, ਉਸ ਦਾ ਕ੍ਰੋਧ ਭੜਕਿਆ। ਉਹ ਦਾ ਕ੍ਰੋਧ ਅੱਯੂਬ ਉੱਤੇ ਇਸ ਲਈ ਭੜਕਿਆ ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਪ ਨੂੰ ਨਿਰਦੋਸ਼ ਠਹਿਰਾਇਆ ਨਾ ਕਿ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਨੂੰ,
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].
3 ੩ ਅਤੇ ਉਹ ਦਾ ਕ੍ਰੋਧ ਉਹ ਦੇ ਤਿੰਨਾਂ ਮਿੱਤਰਾਂ ਉੱਤੇ ਵੀ ਭੜਕਿਆ ਕਿਉਂ ਜੋ ਉਹ ਅੱਯੂਬ ਨੂੰ ਉੱਤਰ ਨਾ ਦੇ ਸਕੇ, ਤਾਂ ਵੀ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਨੇ ਅੱਯੂਬ ਨੂੰ ਦੋਸ਼ੀ ਠਹਿਰਾਇਆ।
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 was younger than the others, so he waited [until they had finished speaking] before he replied to Job.
But when Elihu realized that the three men had no more to say [MTY] to Job, he became angry.
6 ੬ ਤਦ ਬਰਕਏਲ ਬੂਜ਼ੀ ਦੇ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਅਲੀਹੂ ਨੇ ਉੱਤਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਮੈਂ ਅਜੇ ਜੁਆਨ ਹਾਂ, ਅਤੇ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਵੱਡੀ ਉਮਰ ਦੇ ਹੋ, ਇਸ ਲਈ ਮੈਂ ਰੁਕਿਆ ਰਿਹਾ ਅਤੇ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਵਿਚਾਰ ਦੱਸਣ ਤੋਂ ਡਰਦਾ ਸੀ।
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.
I thought, ‘Let those [PRS] who are much older speak, because older people [should be able to] say things that are wise.’
But the Spirit of Almighty [God] is within people, and it is he who enables them to be wise.
It is not people becoming old that enables them to be wise; not [all] old people understand what is right.
“So, I say, ‘Listen to me, and allow me to say what I think.’
11 ੧੧ ਵੇਖੋ, ਮੈਂ ਤੁਹਾਡੀਆਂ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਸੁਣਨ ਲਈ ਠਹਿਰਿਆ ਰਿਹਾ, ਮੈਂ ਤੁਹਾਡੀਆਂ ਦਲੀਲਾਂ ਉੱਤੇ ਕੰਨ ਲਾਇਆ, ਜਦ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਦੀ ਭਾਲ ਕਰਦੇ ਸੀ!
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.
12 ੧੨ ਮੈਂ ਤੁਹਾਡੀਆਂ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਉੱਤੇ ਧਿਆਨ ਕੀਤਾ, ਵੇਖੋ, ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੋਈ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੀ ਜਿਹੜਾ ਅੱਯੂਬ ਨੂੰ ਗਲਤ ਸਾਬਤ ਕਰ ਸਕਦਾ, ਜਾਂ ਉਹ ਦੀਆਂ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਦਾ ਉੱਤਰ ਦਿੰਦਾ।
I paid attention carefully, but surprisingly, none of you were able to prove that what Job said was wrong.
13 ੧੩ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਇਹ ਨਾ ਸਮਝੋ ਕਿ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਹੀ ਬੁੱਧ ਮਿਲੀ ਹੈ, ਕਿ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਹੀ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਤਰਕ ਨੂੰ ਰੱਦ ਕਰ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ ਨਾ ਕਿ ਮਨੁੱਖ,
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.
Job was replying to you, [not to me], but I will not reply to him by saying what you three said.
“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].
But because you do not speak, I certainly will not wait any longer [RHQ]; you merely stand there and do not reply any more.
So [now] I also will reply [to Job] and say what I think.
I have plenty to say, and my spirit compels me to say it.
19 ੧੯ ਵੇਖੋ, ਮੇਰਾ ਮਨ ਉਸ ਮੈਅ ਦੀ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਹੈ, ਜਿਹੜੀ ਖੋਲ੍ਹੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਗਈ, ਨਵੀਆਂ ਮਸ਼ਕਾਂ ਦੀ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਉਹ ਪਾਟਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਹੈ।
My inner being is like [SIM] a (wineskin/bag that has (new/fermenting) wine in it), and it will soon burst.
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].
I will speak [fairly], not favoring any of you, and I will not try to flatter anyone.
22 ੨੨ ਕਿਉਂ ਜੋ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਕਿਸੇ ਦੀ ਚਾਪਲੂਸੀ ਕਰਨੀ ਆਉਂਦੀ ਹੀ ਨਹੀਂ, ਨਹੀਂ ਤਾਂ ਮੇਰਾ ਸਿਰਜਣਹਾਰ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਛੇਤੀ ਚੁੱਕ ਲਵੇਗਾ।”
I [really] do not know how to flatter people; and if I did that, God would soon get rid of me.”
