Job 32
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Nagsalita si Elihu
32 Kinalaunan, tumigil na sa pagsasalita ang tatlong kaibigan ni Job, dahil ipinipilit ni Job na wala siyang kasalanan.
2 May isang tao roon na ang pangalan ay Elihu. Anak siya ni Barakel, na taga-Buz. Mula siya sa angkan ni Ram. Nagalit siya kay Job dahil sinisisi nito ang Dios, sa halip na ang kanyang sarili. 3 Nagalit din siya sa tatlong kaibigan ni Job dahil hindi nila napatunayang nagkasala si Job at lumalabas pa na ang Dios ang may kasalanan. 4 At dahil mas matanda sila kaysa kay Elihu, naghintay muna si Elihu na matapos silang magsalita bago siya nagsalita kay Job. 5 Pero nang wala ng masabi ang tatlo, nagalit siya. 6 Kaya sinabi niya, “Bata pa ako at kayoʼy matatanda na, kaya nag-aatubili akong magsalita. Hindi ako nangahas na magsalita sa inyo tungkol sa nalalaman ko. 7 Ang akala ko ay kayo ang dapat magturo dahil matatanda na kayo at maraming nalalaman. 8 Pero ang totoo, ang espiritu ng Dios na Makapangyarihan na nasa tao, ang siyang nagbibigay ng pang-unawa. 9 Ang katandaan ay hindi garantiya ng karunungan at kaalaman kung ano ang tama. 10 Kaya pakinggan ninyo ako. Sasabihin ko ang nalalaman ko. 11 Naghintay ako habang iniisip ninyo kung ano ang nararapat ninyong sabihin. Pinakinggan ko ang inyong mga katuwiran. 12 Pinakinggan kong mabuti ang mga sinabi ninyo, pero ni isa sa inyoʼy walang nakapagpatunay na nagkasala si Job; ni hindi ninyo nasagot ang mga pangangatwiran niya. 13 Huwag ninyong sasabihing, ‘Napag-alaman naming mas marunong siya. Hayaan ninyong ang Dios ang sumagot sa kanya at hindi ang tao!’ 14 Kung sa akin siya nakipagtalo, hindi ko siya sasagutin na katulad ng mga sinabi ninyo. 15 Hindi na kayo makakibo ngayon at wala nang maisagot sa kanya. 16 At ngayong wala na kayong maisagot, kailangan ko pa bang maghintay? 17 Ako rin ay may sasabihin ayon sa nalalaman ko. 18 Dahil marami akong gustong sabihin, at hindi ko na talaga ito mapigilan. 19 Para akong bagong sisidlang-balat na punong-puno at malapit nang sumabog. 20 Kinakailangan kong magsalita para gumaan ang pakiramdam ko. 21 Wala akong kakampihan o pupurihin. 22 Hindi ako marunong mambola. Kung gagawin ko ito, parusahan nawa ako ng aking Manlilikha.”
Job 32
King James Version
32 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2 Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
3 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
4 Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.
5 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.
6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.
7 I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
9 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
10 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.
11 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
12 Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
13 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
14 Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
15 They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
16 When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)
17 I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
18 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
19 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
22 For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.

Elihu Rebukes Job’s Friends
32 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.(A) 2 Then Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, became angry. He was angry at Job because he justified himself rather than God;(B) 3 he was angry also at Job’s three friends because they had found no answer, though they had declared Job to be in the wrong.[a](C) 4 Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were older than he. 5 But when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouths of these three men, he became angry.
6 Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answered:
“I am young in years,
and you are aged;
therefore I was timid and afraid
to declare my opinion to you.(D)
7 I said, ‘Let days speak
and many years teach wisdom.’
8 But truly it is the spirit in a mortal,
the breath of the Almighty[b] that makes for understanding.(E)
9 It is not the old[c] who are wise
nor the aged who understand what is right.(F)
10 Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me;
let me also declare my opinion.’
11 “See, I waited for your words;
I listened for your wise sayings
while you searched out what to say.(G)
12 I gave you my attention,
but there was, in fact, no one who confuted Job,
no one among you who answered his words.
13 Yet do not say, ‘We have found wisdom;
God may vanquish him, not a human.’(H)
14 He has not directed his words against me,
and I will not answer him with your speeches.
15 “They are dismayed; they answer no more;
they have not a word to say.
16 And am I to wait because they do not speak,
because they stand there and answer no more?
17 I also will give my answer;
I also will declare my opinion.
18 For I am full of words;
the spirit within me constrains me.(I)
19 My belly is indeed like wine that has no vent;
like new wineskins, it is ready to burst.(J)
20 I must speak, so that I may find relief;
I must open my lips and answer.
21 I will not show partiality to any person
or use flattery toward anyone.(K)
22 For I do not know how to flatter—
or my Maker would soon put an end to me!(L)
