యోబు~ గ్రంథము 32
1 ౧ యోబు తన దృష్టికి తాను నీతిమంతుడుగా ఉన్నాడని ఆ ముగ్గురు మనుషులు గ్రహించి అతనికి జవాబు చెప్పడం చాలించుకున్నారు.
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 ౨ అప్పుడు రము వంశస్థుడు, బూజీయుడు, బరకెయేలు కుమారుడు అయిన ఎలీహు, యోబు దేవుని కంటే తానే నీతిమంతుడైనట్టు చెప్పుకోవడం చూసి అతని మీద ఎంతో కోపగించాడు.
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 ౩ యోబు ముగ్గురు స్నేహితులు ప్రత్యుత్తరమేమీ చెప్పకుండా యోబు మీద దోషం మోపినందుకు వారి మీద కూడా అతడు ఎంతో కోపగించాడు.
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 ౬ కాబట్టి బూజీయుడైన బరకెయేలు కుమారుడు ఎలీహు ఇలా మాటలాడసాగాడు. నేను వయస్సులో చిన్నవాణ్ణి. మీరు బహు వృద్ధులు. ఆ కారణం చేత నేను భయపడి నా ఉద్దేశం మీకు తెలియజేయడానికి తెగించలేదు.
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.
7 ౭ వృద్ధాప్యం మాట్లాడాలి, అధిక సంఖ్యగల సంవత్సరాలు జ్ఞానం బోధించడానికి తగినవి, అని నేను అనుకున్నాను.
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.’
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 ౧౨ మీ అభిప్రాయాలు చెవిని వేసుకోవడం కోసం మీరు చెప్పిన వాటిపై బహు జాగ్రత్తగా ధ్యాస పెట్టాను. అయితే మీలో ఎవరూ యోబును ఖండించలేదు. ఎవరూ అతని మాటలకు జవాబు ఇయ్యలేదు.
I paid attention carefully, but surprisingly, none of you were able to prove that what Job said was wrong.
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 ౧౯ నా మనస్సు తెరవని ద్రాక్షారసపు తిత్తి లాగా ఉంది. కొత్త తిత్తుల్లాగా అది పిగిలిపోడానికి సిద్ధంగా ఉంది.
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].
21 ౨౧ మీరు దయచేసి వినండి. నేను ఎవరి విషయంలోనూ పక్షపాతం చూపించను. నేను ముఖస్తుతి కోసం ఎవరికీ బిరుదులు తగిలించను.
I will speak [fairly], not favoring any of you, and I will not try to flatter anyone.
I [really] do not know how to flatter people; and if I did that, God would soon get rid of me.”
