Job 32
1 Tako so ti trije možje prenehali odgovarjati Jobu, ker je bil pravičen v svojih lastnih očeh.
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he seemed just to himself.
2 Potem je bil vžgan bes Elihúja, Barahélovega sina, Buzéjca iz Rámovega rodu. Njegov bes je bil vžgan zoper Joba, ker je sebe bolj opravičeval kakor Boga.
And Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, was angry and was moved to indignation: now he was angry against Job, because he said he was just before God.
3 Tudi zoper njegove tri prijatelje je bil vžgan njegov bes, ker niso našli nobenega odgovora, pa so vendar obsodili Joba.
And he was angry with his friends because they had not found a reasonable answer, but only had condemned Job.
4 Torej Elihú je čakal, dokler Job ni spregovoril, ker so bili starejši kakor on.
So Eliu waited while Job was speaking, because they were his elders that were speaking.
5 Ko je Elihú videl, da ni bilo nobenega odgovora v ustih teh treh mož, je bil potem vžgan njegov bes.
But when he saw that the three were not able to answer, he was exceedingly angry.
6 Elihú, Barahélov sin, Buzéjec, je odgovoril in rekel: »Jaz sem mlad, vi pa ste zelo stari, zato sem bil prestrašen in se vam nisem drznil pokazati svojega mnenja.
Then Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said: I am younger in days, and you are more ancient; therefore hanging down my head, I was afraid to shew you my opinion.
7 Rekel sem: ›Dnevi naj bi spregovorili in množica let naj bi učila modrost.‹
For I hoped that greater age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom.
8 Toda v človeku je duh. Navdih Vsemogočnega jim daje razumevanje.
But, as I see, there is a spirit in men, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth understanding.
9 Veliki možje niso vedno modri niti ostareli ne razumejo sodbe.
They that are aged are not the wise men, neither do the ancients understand judgment.
10 Zato sem rekel: ›Prisluhnite mi. Tudi jaz bom pokazal svoje mnenje.
Therefore I will speak: Hearken to me, I also will shew you my wisdom.
11 Glejte, čakal sem na vaše besede, prisluhnil sem vašim razlogom, medtem ko ste iskali, kaj bi rekli.
For I have waited for your words, I have given ear to your wisdom, as long as you were disputing in words.
12 Da, prisluhnil sem vam in glejte nikogar izmed vas ni bilo, da prepriča Joba ali da odgovori njegovim besedam,
And as long as I thought you said some thing, I considered: but, as I see, there is none of you that can convince Job, and answer his words.
13 da ne bi rekli: ›Pridobili smo modrost. Bog ga suva dol, ne človek.‹
Lest you should say: We have found wisdom, God hath cast him down, not man.
14 Torej svojih besed ni usmeril zoper mene niti mu ne bom odgovoril z vašimi govori.«
He hath spoken nothing to me, and I will not answer him according to your words.
15 Bili so osupli, niso več odgovarjali. Prenehali so govoriti.
They were afraid, and answered no more, and they left off speaking.
16 Ko sem čakal (kajti niso govorili, temveč mirno stali in niso več odgovarjali),
Therefore because I have waited, and they have not spoken: they stood, and answered no more:
17 sem rekel: »Tudi jaz bom odgovoril svoj del, tudi jaz bom pokazal svoje mišljenje.
I also will answer my part, and will shew my knowledge.
18 Kajti poln sem stvari, duh znotraj mene me sili.
For I am full of matter to speak of, and the spirit of my bowels straiteneth me.
19 Glejte, moj trebuh je kakor vino, ki nima oddušnika. Pripravljeno je, da poči kakor novi mehovi.
Behold, my belly is as new wine which wanteth vent, which bursteth the new vessels.
20 Govoril bom, da bom lahko osvežen. Odprl bom svoje ustnice in odgovoril.
I will speak and take breath a little: I will open my lips, and will answer.
21 Ne pustite mi, prosim vas, sprejeti obličja kateregakoli moža niti mi ne pustite, da dajem laskave nazive človeku.
I will not accept the person of man, and I will not level God with man.
22 Kajti ne znam dajati laskavih nazivov. Če bi tako počel, bi me moj stvarnik hitro odvedel.
For I know not how long I shall continue, and whether after a while my Maker may take me away.
