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.
ORA essendo que' tre uomini restati di rispondere a Giobbe, perchè gli pareva di esser giusto;
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].
Elihu, figliuolo di Baracheel, Buzita, della nazione di Ram, si accese nell'ira contro a Giobbe, perchè giustificava sè stesso anzi che Iddio;
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.
e contro a' tre amici di esso, perciocchè non aveano trovata alcuna replica, e pure aveano condannato Giobbe.
4 Elihu was younger than the others, so he waited [until they had finished speaking] before he replied to Job.
Ora Elihu avea aspettato che Giobbe avesse parlato; perciocchè [egli ed i suoi amici] erano più attempati di lui.
5 But when Elihu realized that the three men had no more to say [MTY] to Job, he became angry.
Ma, veggendo che non [vi era] replica alcuna nella bocca di que' tre uomini, egli si accese nell'ira.
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.
Ed Elihu, figliuolo di Baracheel, Buzita, parlò, e disse: Io [son] giovane, e [voi siete] molto attempati; Perciò io ho avuta paura, ed ho temuto Di dichiararvi il mio parere.
7 I thought, ‘Let those [PRS] who are much older speak, because older people [should be able to] say things that are wise.’
Io diceva: L'età parlerà, E la moltitudine degli anni farà conoscere la sapienza.
8 But the Spirit of Almighty [God] is within people, and it is he who enables them to be wise.
Certo lo spirito [è] negli uomini, Ma l'inspirazione dell'Onnipotente li fa intendere.
9 It is not people becoming old that enables them to be wise; not [all] old people understand what is right.
I maggiori non son [sempre] savi; E i vecchi [non] intendono [sempre] la dirittura.
10 “So, I say, ‘Listen to me, and allow me to say what I think.’
Perciò io ho detto: Ascoltatemi; Ed io ancora dichiarerò il mio parere.
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.
Ecco, io ho aspettate le vostre parole, Io ho pòrto l'orecchio alle vostre considerazioni, Finchè voi aveste ricercati de' ragionamenti.
12 I paid attention carefully, but surprisingly, none of you were able to prove that what Job said was wrong.
Ma avendo posto mente a voi, Ecco, non [vi è] alcun di voi che convinca Giobbe, Che risponda a' suoi ragionamenti;
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.
Che talora non diciate: Noi abbiamo trovata la sapienza; Scaccilo ora Iddio, [e] non un uomo.
14 Job was replying to you, [not to me], but I will not reply to him by saying what you three said.
Or egli non ha ordinati i [suoi] ragionamenti contro a me; Io altresì non gli risponderò secondo le vostre parole.
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].
Essi si sono sgomentati, non hanno più risposto; Le parole sono state loro tolte [di bocca].
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.
Io dunque ho aspettato; ma perciocchè non parlano [più], Perchè restano [e] non rispondono più;
17 So [now] I also will reply [to Job] and say what I think.
Io ancora risponderò per la parte mia; Io ancora dichiarerò il mio parere;
18 I have plenty to say, and my spirit compels me to say it.
Perciocchè io son pieno di parole, Lo spirito del mio ventre mi stringe.
19 My inner being is like [SIM] a (wineskin/bag that has (new/fermenting) wine in it), and it will soon burst.
Ecco, il mio ventre [è] come un vino che non ha spiraglio, E schianterebbesi come barili nuovi.
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].
Io parlerò adunque, ed avrò alcuna respirazione; Io aprirò le mie labbra, e risponderò.
21 I will speak [fairly], not favoring any of you, and I will not try to flatter anyone.
Già non mi avvenga di aver riguardo alla qualità della persona di alcuno; Io non m'infingerò [parlando] ad un uomo.
22 I [really] do not know how to flatter people; and if I did that, God would soon get rid of me.”
Perciocchè io non so infingermi; Altrimenti, colui che mi ha fatto di subito mi torrebbe via.
