Job 32
1 So these three men ceased to answere Iob, because he esteemed himselfe iust.
於是這三個人，因約伯自以為義就不再回答他。
2 Then the wrath of Elihu the sonne of Barachel the Buzite, of the familie of Ram, was kindled: his wrath, I say, was kindled against Iob, because he iustified himselfe more then God.
那時有布西人蘭族巴拉迦的兒子以利戶向約伯發怒；因約伯自以為義，不以上帝為義。
3 Also his anger was kindled against his three friends, because they could not finde an answere, and yet condemned Iob.
他又向約伯的三個朋友發怒；因為他們想不出回答的話來，仍以約伯為有罪。
4 (Now Elihu had wayted til Iob had spoken: for they were more ancient in yeeres then he)
以利戶要與約伯說話，就等候他們，因為他們比自己年老。
5 So when Elihu saw, that there was none answere in the mouth of the three men, his wrath was kindled.
以利戶見這三個人口中無話回答，就怒氣發作。
6 Therefore Elihu the sonne of Barachel, the Buzite answered, and sayd, I am yong in yeres, and ye are ancient: therefore I doubted, and was afraide to shewe you mine opinion.
布西人巴拉迦的兒子以利戶回答說： 我年輕，你們老邁； 因此我退讓，不敢向你們陳說我的意見。
7 For I said, The dayes shall speake, and the multitude of yeeres shall teach wisedome.
我說，年老的當先說話； 壽高的當以智慧教訓人。
8 Surely there is a spirite in man, but the inspiration of the Almightie giueth vnderstanding.
但在人裏面有靈； 全能者的氣使人有聰明。
9 Great men are not alway wise, neither doe the aged alway vnderstand iudgement.
尊貴的不都有智慧； 壽高的不都能明白公平。
10 Therefore I say, Heare me, and I will shew also mine opinion.
因此我說：你們要聽我言； 我也要陳說我的意見。
11 Behold, I did waite vpon your wordes, and hearkened vnto your knowledge, whiles you sought out reasons.
你們查究所要說的話； 那時我等候你們的話， 側耳聽你們的辯論，
12 Yea, when I had considered you, lo, there was none of you that reproued Iob, nor answered his wordes:
留心聽你們； 誰知你們中間無一人折服約伯， 駁倒他的話。
13 Lest ye should say, We haue found wisedome: for God hath cast him downe, and no man.
你們切不可說：我們尋得智慧； 上帝能勝他，人卻不能。
14 Yet hath he not directed his words to me, neyther will I answere him by your wordes.
約伯沒有向我爭辯； 我也不用你們的話回答他。
15 Then they fearing, answered no more, but left off their talke.
他們驚奇不再回答， 一言不發。
16 When I had wayted (for they spake not, but stood still and answered no more)
我豈因他們不說話， 站住不再回答，仍舊等候呢？
17 Then answered I in my turne, and I shewed mine opinion.
我也要回答我的一分話， 陳說我的意見。
18 For I am full of matter, and the spirite within me compelleth me.
因為我的言語滿懷； 我裏面的靈激動我。
19 Beholde, my belly is as the wine, which hath no vent, and like the new bottels that brast.
我的胸懷如盛酒之囊沒有出氣之縫， 又如新皮袋快要破裂。
20 Therefore will I speake, that I may take breath: I will open my lippes, and will answere.
我要說話，使我舒暢； 我要開口回答。
21 I will not now accept the person of man, neyther will I giue titles to man.
我必不看人的情面， 也不奉承人。
22 For I may not giue titles, lest my Maker should take me away suddenly.
我不曉得奉承； 若奉承，造我的主必快快除滅我。
