Job 32
Svenska 1917
32 De tre männen upphörde nu att svara Job, eftersom han höll sig själv för rättfärdig.
2 Då blev Elihu, Barakels son, från Bus, av Rams släkt, upptänd av vrede. Mot Job upptändes han av vrede, därför att denne menade sig hava rätt mot Gud;
3 och mot hans tre vänner upptändes hans vrede, därför att de icke funno något svar varmed de kunde vederlägga Job.
4 Hittills hade Elihu dröjt att tala till Job, därför att de andra voro äldre till åren än han.
5 Men då nu Elihu såg att de tre männen icke mer hade något att svara, upptändes hans vrede.
6 Så tog då Elihu, Barakels son, från Bus, till orda och sade; Ung till åren är jag, I däremot ären gamla. Därför höll jag mig tillbaka och var försagd och lade ej fram för eder min mening.
7 Jag tänkte: »Må åldern tala, och må årens mängd förkunna visdom.»
8 Dock, på anden i människorna kommer det an, den Allsmäktiges livsfläkt giver dem förstånd.
9 Icke de åldriga äro alltid visast, icke de äldsta förstå bäst vad rätt är.
10 Därför säger jag nu: Hör mig; jag vill lägga fram min mening, också jag.
11 Se, jag väntade på vad I skullen tala, jag lyssnade efter förstånd ifrån eder, efter skäl som I skullen draga fram.
12 Ja, noga aktade jag på eder. Men se, ingen fanns, som vederlade Job, ingen bland eder, som kunde svara på hans ord.
13 Nu mån I icke säga: »Vi möttes av vishet; Gud, men ingen människa, kan nedslå denne.»
14 Skäl mot min mening har han icke lagt fram, ej heller skall jag bemöta honom med edra bevis.
15 Se, nu stå de bestörta och svara ej mer, målet i munnen hava de mist.
16 Och jag skulle vänta, då de nu intet kunna säga, då de stå där och ej mer hava något svar!
17 Nej, också jag vill svara i min ordning, jag vill lägga fram min mening, också jag.
18 Ty, fullt upp har jag av skäl, anden i mitt inre vill spränga mig sönder.
19 Ja, mitt inre är såsom instängt vin, likt en lägel med nytt vin är det nära att brista.
20 Så vill jag då tala och skaffa mig luft, jag vill upplåta mina läppar och svara.
21 Jag får ej hava anseende till personen, och jag skall ej till någon tala inställsamma ord.
22 Nej, jag förstår ej att tala inställsamma ord; huru lätt kunde ej eljest min skapare rycka mig bort!
Job 32
Darby Translation
32 And these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2 Then was kindled the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his anger kindled, because he justified himself rather than God;
3 and against his three friends was his anger kindled, because they found no answer, and [yet] condemned Job.
4 But Elihu had waited till Job had finished speaking, because they were older than he.
5 And Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger was kindled.
6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are aged; wherefore I was timid, and feared to shew you what I know.
7 I said, Let days speak, and multitude of years teach wisdom.
8 But there is a spirit which is in man; and the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
9 It is not the great that are wise; neither do the aged understand judgment.
10 Therefore I say, Hearken to me; I also will shew what I know.
11 Lo, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasonings, until ye searched out what to say.
12 Yea, I gave you mine attention, and behold, there was none of you that confuted Job, that answered his words;
13 That ye may not say, We have found out wisdom; God will make him yield, not man.
14 Now he hath not directed [his] words against me; and I will not answer him with your speeches. …
15 They were amazed, they answered no more; words failed them.
16 And I waited, for they spoke not, but stood still, and answered no more;—
17 I will answer, I also in my turn, I also will shew what I know:
18 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
19 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; like new flasks, it is ready to burst.
20 I will speak, that I may find relief; I will open my lips and answer.
21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person; neither will I give flattery to man.
22 For I know not how to flatter; my Maker would soon take me away.
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 International Version
Elihu
32 So these three men stopped answering Job,(A) because he was righteous in his own eyes.(B) 2 But Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite,(C) of the family of Ram, became very angry with Job for justifying himself(D) rather than God.(E) 3 He was also angry with the three friends,(F) because they had found no way to refute Job,(G) and yet had condemned him.[a](H) 4 Now Elihu had waited before speaking to Job because they were older than he.(I) 5 But when he saw that the three men had nothing more to say, his anger was aroused.
6 So Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite said:
“I am young in years,
and you are old;(J)
that is why I was fearful,
not daring to tell you what I know.
7 I thought, ‘Age should speak;
advanced years should teach wisdom.’(K)
8 But it is the spirit[b](L) in a person,
the breath of the Almighty,(M) that gives them understanding.(N)
9 It is not only the old[c] who are wise,(O)
not only the aged(P) who understand what is right.(Q)
10 “Therefore I say: Listen to me;(R)
I too will tell you what I know.(S)
11 I waited while you spoke,
I listened to your reasoning;
while you were searching for words,
12 I gave you my full attention.
But not one of you has proved Job wrong;
none of you has answered his arguments.(T)
13 Do not say, ‘We have found wisdom;(U)
let God, not a man, refute(V) him.’
14 But Job has not marshaled his words against me,(W)
and I will not answer him with your arguments.
15 “They are dismayed and have no more to say;
words have failed them.(X)
16 Must I wait, now that they are silent,
now that they stand there with no reply?
17 I too will have my say;
I too will tell what I know.(Y)
18 For I am full of words,
and the spirit(Z) within me compels me;(AA)
19 inside I am like bottled-up wine,
like new wineskins ready to burst.(AB)
20 I must speak and find relief;
I must open my lips and reply.(AC)
21 I will show no partiality,(AD)
nor will I flatter anyone;(AE)
22 for if I were skilled in flattery,
my Maker(AF) would soon take me away.(AG)
