约伯记 32
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
以利户向约伯与三友发怒
32 因为约伯自以为义,于是这三个人就不再回答他。 2 那时,布西人兰族巴拉迦的儿子以利户发怒了;他向约伯发怒,因为他在 神面前自以为义。 3 他又向约伯的三个朋友发怒,因为他们虽然仍以约伯为有罪,却找不到回答的话来。 4 以利户等待着要向约伯说话,因为他们的年纪都比以利户大。 5 以利户一见这三个人的口里无话回答,他就发怒了。
以利户发言陈述己见
6 布西人巴拉迦的儿子以利户回答说:
“我年纪轻,你们年纪大,
因此我拘束畏惧,不敢向你们表达我的意见。
7 我心里想:‘年长的当先说话,
寿高的当以智慧教训人。’
8 但是在人心里面有灵,
全能者的气息使人有聪明。
9 年纪大的不都有智慧,
年老的不都能明白是非,
10 因此我说:‘你们要听我说话,
我也要说出我的意见。’
11 你们砌词说话的时候,
我等待着你们的话,
留心听你们的理论。
12 我留意听你们,
不料,你们中间没有人能驳倒约伯,
驳回他所说的话。
13 你们不要说:‘我们寻得了智慧;
能胜过他的,是 神,不是人。’
14 约伯没有用他的话攻击我,
我也不用你们的话回答他。
15 他们惊惶失措,不再回应,
他们没有甚么可说的话了。
16 因为他们不说话,因为他们站着不再回应,
我就等待吗?
17 我也要回答我的一份话,
我也要表达我的意见,
18 因为我充满了要说的话,
我里面的灵催逼我说出来。
19 我里面如盛酒的囊,没有出气的地方,
又如新酒袋,快要破裂。
20 我要说话,使我可以舒畅,
我要开口回答。
21 我必不徇人的情面,
也不奉承人,
22 因为我不晓得怎样奉承。
不然,我的创造主很快就把我除去。”
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.
