Job 32
1 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.
Kun nuo kolme miestä eivät enää vastanneet Jobille, koska hän oli omissa silmissään vanhurskas,
2 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].
vihastui buusilainen Elihu, Baarakelin poika, joka oli Raamin sukua; Jobiin hän vihastui, koska tämä piti itseään Jumalaa vanhurskaampana,
3 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.
ja tämän kolmeen ystävään hän vihastui, koska he eivät keksineet vastausta, jolla olisivat osoittaneet Jobin olevan väärässä.
4 Elihu was younger than the others, so he waited [until they had finished speaking] before he replied to Job.
Elihu oli odottanut vuoroa puhuakseen Jobille, koska toiset olivat iältään häntä vanhemmat.
5 But when Elihu realized that the three men had no more to say [MTY] to Job, he became angry.
Mutta kun Elihu näki, ettei noilla kolmella miehellä enää ollut sanaa suussa vastaukseksi, vihastui hän.
6 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.
Niin buusilainen Elihu, Baarakelin poika, lausui ja sanoi: "Nuori minä olen iältäni, ja te olette vanhat; sentähden minä arkailin ja pelkäsin ilmoittaa tietoani teille.
7 I thought, ‘Let those [PRS] who are much older speak, because older people [should be able to] say things that are wise.’
Minä ajattelin: 'Puhukoon ikä, ja vuosien paljous julistakoon viisautta'.
8 But the Spirit of Almighty [God] is within people, and it is he who enables them to be wise.
Mutta onhan ihmisissä henki, ja Kaikkivaltiaan henkäys antaa heille ymmärrystä.
9 It is not people becoming old that enables them to be wise; not [all] old people understand what is right.
Eivät iäkkäät ole viisaimmat, eivätkä vanhukset yksin ymmärrä, mikä on oikein.
10 “So, I say, ‘Listen to me, and allow me to say what I think.’
Sentähden minä sanon: Kuule minua; minäkin ilmoitan, mitä tiedän.
11 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.
Katso, minä olen odottanut, mitä teillä olisi sanomista, olen kuunnellut teidän taitavia puheitanne, kunnes olisitte löytäneet osuvat sanat.
12 I paid attention carefully, but surprisingly, none of you were able to prove that what Job said was wrong.
Niin, minä tarkkasin teitä; mutta katso, ei kukaan ole Jobin sanoja kumonnut, ei kukaan teistä voinut vastata hänen puheisiinsa.
13 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.
Älkää sanoko: 'Meitä vastassa on ilmetty viisaus, vain Jumala voi hänet torjua, ei ihminen'.
14 Job was replying to you, [not to me], but I will not reply to him by saying what you three said.
Minua vastaan hän ei ole todisteita tuonut, enkä käy hänelle vastaamaan teidän puheillanne.
15 “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].
He ovat kauhistuneet, eivät enää vastaa; sanat puuttuvat heiltä.
16 But because you do not speak, I certainly will not wait any longer [RHQ]; you merely stand there and do not reply any more.
Odottaisinko minä, kun he eivät puhu, kun he siinä seisovat enää vastaamatta?
17 So [now] I also will reply [to Job] and say what I think.
Vastaanpa minäkin osaltani, minäkin ilmoitan, mitä tiedän.
18 I have plenty to say, and my spirit compels me to say it.
Sillä minä olen sanoja täynnä, henki rinnassani ahdistaa minua.
19 My inner being is like [SIM] a (wineskin/bag that has (new/fermenting) wine in it), and it will soon burst.
Katso, minun rintani on kuin viini, jolle ei reikää avata, se on pakahtumaisillaan niinkuin nuorella viinillä täytetyt leilit.
20 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].
Tahdon puhua, saadakseni helpotusta, avata huuleni ja vastata.
21 I will speak [fairly], not favoring any of you, and I will not try to flatter anyone.
En pidä kenenkään puolta enkä ketään ihmistä imartele.
22 I [really] do not know how to flatter people; and if I did that, God would soon get rid of me.”
Sillä en osaa imarrella; silloin Luojani ottaisi minut kohta pois."
