1 Então aquelles tres homens cessaram de responder a Job; porque era justo aos seus proprios olhos.
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2 E accendeu-se a ira d'Elihu, filho de Baracheel o buzita, da familia de Ram: contra Job se accendeu a sua ira, porque se justificava a si mesmo, mais do que a Deus.
Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
3 Tambem a sua ira se accendeu contra os seus tres amigos: porque, não achando que responder, todavia condemnavam a Job.
Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
4 Elihu porém esperou que Job fallasse; porquanto tinham mais edade do que elle.
Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were elder than he.
5 Vendo pois Elihu que já não havia resposta na bocca d'aquelles tres homens, a sua ira se accendeu.
And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
6 E respondeu Elihu, filho de Baracheel o buzita, e disse: Eu sou de menos edade, e vós sois edosos; receei-me e temi de vos declarar a minha opinião.
And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; Wherefore I held back, and durst not show you mine opinion.
7 Dizia eu: Fallem os dias, e a multidão doa annos ensine a sabedoria.
I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.
8 Na verdade, ha um espirito no homem, e a inspiração do Todo-poderoso os faz entendidos.
But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
9 Os grandes não são os sabios, nem os velhos entendem juizo.
It is not the great that are wise, Nor the aged that understand justice.
10 Pelo que digo: Dae-me ouvidos, e tambem eu declararei a minha opinião.
Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show mine opinion.
11 Eis que aguardei as vossas palavras, e dei ouvidos ás vossas considerações, até que buscasseis razões.
Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasonings, Whilst ye searched out what to say.
12 Attentando pois para vós, eis que nenhum de vós ha que possa convencer a Job, nem que responda ás suas razões:
Yea, I attended unto you, And, behold, there was none that convinced Job, Or that answered his words, among you.
13 Para que não digaes: Achamos a sabedoria; Deus o derribou, e não homem algum.
Beware lest ye say, We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man:
14 Ora elle não dirigiu contra mim palavra alguma, nem lhe responderei com as vossas palavras.
For he hath not directed his words against me; Neither will I answer him with your speeches.
15 Estão pasmados, não respondem mais, faltam-lhes as palavras.
They are amazed, they answer no more: They have not a word to say.
16 Esperei pois, porém não fallam: porque já pararam, e não respondem mais.
And shall I wait, because they speak not, Because they stand still, and answer no more?
17 Tambem eu responderei pela minha parte: tambem eu declararei a minha opinião.
I also will answer my part, I also will show mine opinion.
18 Porque estou cheio de palavras, e aperta-me o espirito do meu ventre.
For I am full of words; The spirit within me constraineth me.
19 Eis que o meu ventre é como o mosto, sem respiradouro, e virá a arrebentar, como odres novos.
Behold, my breast is as wine which hath no vent; Like new wine-skins it is ready to burst.
20 Fallarei, e respirarei: abrirei os meus labios, e responderei.
I will speak, that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer.
21 Oxalá eu não faça accepção de pessoas, nem use de sobrenomes com o homem!
Let me not, I pray you, respect any man’s person; Neither will I give flattering titles unto any man.
22 Porque não sei usar de sobrenomes: em breve me levaria o meu Creador.
For I know not to give flattering titles; [Else] would my Maker soon take me away.
