约伯记 32
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
以利户的回答
32 三人见约伯自以为义，便不再回答他。 2 那时，兰族的布西人巴拉迦的儿子以利户对约伯很恼火，因为约伯自以为义，不承认上帝的公义。 3 他对约伯的三个朋友也很恼火，因为他们说约伯有罪，却无法回答约伯的质问[a]。 4 由于不及他们年长，以利户便等他们说完才向约伯发言。 5 他见三人无法回答约伯，很恼火， 6 就说：
“我年纪轻，你们是长辈，
所以我畏惧，不敢陈明观点。
7 我想，前辈当先发言，
长者当传授智慧。
8 但只有人里面的灵——
全能者的气息赐人悟性。
9 长者不一定有智慧，
年老不一定明白是非。
10 因此，请听我说，
我也要陈明观点。
11 看啊，我一直等候你们发言，
倾听你们的理论，
等你们斟词酌句。
12 我仔细聆听，
发现你们无人能驳倒约伯，
无人能答复他。
13 你们不要说，‘我们找到了智慧，
使他折服的是上帝而非人。’
14 约伯没有与我辩论，
我也不会用你们的理论答复他。
15 “他们惊慌失措，无言以对，
再也说不出话来。
16 难道他们不说话，站在那里无言以对，
我就要等下去吗？
17 我也要作出答复，
陈明我的观点。
18 因为我心里积满了话，
我里面的灵催促我说出来。
19 我里面像盛满了酒，却没有出口，
又如将要破裂的新酒袋。
20 我要一吐为快，
我要开口答复。
21 我不看人的情面，
也不奉承人。
22 我不善奉承，
否则，造物主会很快把我除掉。

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.
