Job 32
New American Standard Bible 1995
Elihu in Anger Rebukes Job
32 Then these three men ceased answering Job, because he was (A)righteous in his own eyes. 2 But the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel the (B)Buzite, of the family of Ram burned; against Job his anger burned (C)because he justified himself [a](D)before God. 3 And his anger burned against his three friends because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. 4 Now Elihu had waited [b]to speak to Job because they were years older than he. 5 And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men his anger burned.
6 So Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite [c]spoke out and said,
“I am young in years and you are (E)old;
Therefore I was shy and afraid to tell you [d]what I think.
7 “I [e]thought [f](F)age should speak,
And [g]increased years should teach wisdom.
8 “But it is a spirit in man,
And the (G)breath of the Almighty gives them (H)understanding.
9 “The [h]abundant in years may not be wise,
Nor may (I)elders understand justice.
10 “So I [i]say, ‘Listen to me,
I too will tell [j]what I think.’
11 “Behold, I waited for your words,
I listened to your reasonings,
While you [k]pondered what to say.
12 “I even paid close attention to you;
[l]Indeed, there was no one who refuted Job,
Not one of you who answered his words.
13 “Do not say,
‘(J)We have found wisdom;
God will [m]rout him, not man.’
14 “For he has not arranged his words against me,
Nor will I reply to him with your [n]arguments.
15 “They are dismayed, they no longer answer;
Words have [o]failed them.
16 “Shall I wait, because they do not speak,
Because they [p]stop and no longer answer?
17 “I too will answer my share,
I also will tell my opinion.
18 “For I am full of words;
The spirit within me constrains me.
19 “Behold, my belly is like unvented wine,
Like new wineskins it is about to burst.
20 “Let me speak that I may get relief;
Let me open my lips and answer.
21 “Let me now (K)be partial to no one,
Nor flatter any man.
22 “For I do not know how to flatter,
Else my Maker would soon take me away.

Аюб 32
Священное Писание (Восточный перевод), версия с «Аллахом»
Монолог Элиху
32 Тогда трое друзей перестали спорить с Аюбом, потому что он был уверен в своей правоте. 2 Но Элиху, сын Барахила, потомок Буза, из рода Рам, разгневался на Аюба за то, что тот считал себя праведным перед Аллахом. 3 Он разгневался и на трёх его друзей за то, что, не сумев возразить, они клеветали на Аюба[a]. 4 Но Элиху не сразу заговорил с Аюбом, потому что остальные были старше его. 5 Когда же он увидел, что тем троим нечего больше сказать, он разгневался.
Первая речь Элиху
6 И тогда Элиху, сын Барахила, потомок Буза, сказал:
– Я молод годами,
вы же в преклонных летах;
поэтому я и робел
и не смел вам высказать своё мнение.
7 Я думал: «Пусть говорит возраст;
пусть преклонные годы учат мудрости».
8 Но нет, это дух в человеке
и дыхание Всемогущего разум дают.
9 Не одни старики[b] мудры,
не одни престарелые знают правду.
10 Поэтому говорю я: «Внимайте мне!
Я тоже скажу вам, что знаю».
11 Я ждал, пока вы говорили,
суждения ваши слушал;
пока вы искали слова,
12 я вглядывался в вас.
Но никто из вас Аюба не опроверг,
на его слова не ответил.
13 Не говорите: «Мы мудрость нашли:
пусть Аллах обличает его, а не человек».
14 Если бы против меня он обратил речь свою,
то я не как вы отвечал бы ему.
15 Они испугались и нечего им сказать,
слов у них не осталось.
16 Ждать ли мне, раз они замолчали,
раз они стоят здесь, не отвечая?
17 Мне ведь тоже есть что сказать,
я тоже выскажу своё мнение.
18 Я переполнен словами,
дух во мне побуждает меня.
19 Сердце моё, как вино неоткрытое,
как новые бурдюки, готовые разорваться.
20 Заговорю и найду покой;
разомкну уста свои и отвечу;
21 не буду смотреть ни на чьё лицо
и льстить никому не стану,
22 ведь я не умею льстить –
иначе убил бы меня мой Творец!
Job 32
New King James Version
Elihu Contradicts Job’s Friends
32 So these three men ceased answering Job, because he was (A)righteous in his own eyes. 2 Then the wrath of Elihu, the son of Barachel the (B)Buzite, of the family of Ram, was aroused against Job; his wrath was aroused because he (C)justified himself rather than God. 3 Also against his three friends his wrath was aroused, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
4 Now because they were years older than he, Elihu had waited [a]to speak to Job. 5 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was aroused.
6 So Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, answered and said:
“I am (D)young in years, and you are very old;
Therefore I was afraid,
And dared not declare my opinion to you.
7 I said, [b]‘Age should speak,
And multitude of years should teach wisdom.’
8 But there is a spirit in man,
And (E)the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.
9 (F)Great[c] men are not always wise,
Nor do the aged always understand justice.
10 “Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me,
I also will declare my opinion.’
11 Indeed I waited for your words,
I listened to your reasonings, while you searched out what to say.
12 I paid close attention to you;
And surely not one of you convinced Job,
Or answered his words—
13 (G)Lest you say,
‘We have found wisdom’;
God will vanquish him, not man.
14 Now he has not [d]directed his words against me;
So I will not answer him with your words.
15 “They are dismayed and answer no more;
Words escape them.
16 And I have waited, because they did not speak,
Because they stood still and answered no more.
17 I also will answer my part,
I too will declare my opinion.
18 For I am full of words;
The spirit within me compels me.
19 Indeed my [e]belly is like wine that has no [f]vent;
It is ready to burst like new wineskins.
20 I will speak, that I may find relief;
I must open my lips and answer.
21 Let me not, I pray, show partiality to anyone;
Nor let me flatter any man.
22 For I do not know how to flatter,
Else my Maker would soon take me (H)away.
