Jobi 32
Albanian Bible
32 Atëherë këta tre njerëz nuk iu përgjigjën më Jobit, sepse ai e ndjente veten të drejtë.
2 Por zemërimi i Elihut, birit të Barakelit, Buzitit, nga fisi i Ramit, u ndez kundër Jobit; zemërimi i tij u ndez, sepse ai e quante veten e tij të drejtë më tepër se Perëndia.
3 Zemërimi i tij u ndez edhe kundër tre miqve të tij, sepse nuk kishin gjetur përgjigjen e drejtë, megjithëse e dënonin Jobin.
4 Elihu kishte pritur për t’i folur Jobit, sepse ata ishin më të moshuar se ai.
5 Por kur Elihu u bind që në gojën e këtyre tre njerëzve nuk kishte më përgjigje, ai u zemërua.
6 Kështu Elihu, bir i Barakelit, Buzitit, mori fjalën dhe tha: "Unë jam akoma i ri me moshë dhe ju jeni pleq; prandaj ngurrova dhe pata frikë t’ju parashtroj mendimin tim.
7 Thoja: "Do të flasë mosha dhe numri i madh i viteve do t’u mësojë diturinë".
8 Por te njeriu ka një frymë, dhe është fryma i të Plotfuqishmit që i jep zgjuarsinë.
9 Nuk janë detyrimisht të mëdhenjtë që kanë diturinë ose pleqtë që kuptojnë drejtësinë.
10 Prandaj them: Dëgjomëni, do të shtroj edhe unë mendimin tim.
11 Ja, prita fjalimet tuaja, dëgjova argumentat tuaja, ndërsa kërkonit të thonit diçka.
12 Ju kam ndjekur me vëmendje, dhe ja, asnjëri prej jush nuk e bindi Jobin ose nuk iu përgjigj fjalëve të tij.
13 Mos thoni, pra: "Kemi gjetur diturinë; vetëm Perëndia mund ta mundë plotësisht, por jo njeriu!".
14 Ai nuk i ka drejtuar fjalimet e tij kundër meje, prandaj nuk do t’i përgjigjem me fjalët tuaja.
15 Janë hutuar, nuk përgjigjen më, nuk gjejnë fjalë.
16 Duhet të pres akoma, sepse nuk flasin më, rrinë aty pa dhënë asnjë përgjigje.
17 Do të paraqes edhe unë pjesën time, do të shtroj edhe unë mendimin tim.
18 Sepse kam plot fjalë dhe fryma përbrenda më detyron.
19 Ja, gjiri im është si vera që nuk ka një shfrim, si shakujt e rinj, gati për të plasur.
20 Do të flas, pra, për të pasur një lehtësim të vogël, do të hap buzët dhe do të përgjigjem.
21 Tani më lejoni të flas pa treguar anësi me asnjë dhe pa i bërë lajka kurrkujt;
22 sepse unë nuk di të bëj lajka, përndryshe Krijuesi im do të më hiqte shpejt nga mesi".
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.
Job 32
English Standard Version
Elihu Rebukes Job's Three Friends
32 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was (A)righteous in his own eyes. 2 Then Elihu the son of Barachel (B)the Buzite, of the family of Ram, burned with anger. He burned with anger at Job because he justified himself (C)rather than God. 3 He burned with anger also at Job's three friends because they had found no answer, although they had (D)declared Job to be in the wrong. 4 Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were older than he. 5 And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, he burned with anger.
6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said:
“I am young in years,
and you are (E)aged;
therefore I was timid and afraid
to declare my opinion to you.
7 I said, ‘Let days speak,
and many years teach wisdom.’
8 But it is (F)the spirit in man,
(G)the breath of the Almighty, that makes him (H)understand.
9 (I)It is not the old[a] who are wise,
nor the aged who understand what is right.
10 Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me;
let me also declare my opinion.’
11 “Behold, I waited for your words,
I listened for your wise sayings,
while you searched out what to say.
12 I gave you my attention,
and, behold, there was none among you who refuted Job
or who answered his words.
13 Beware (J)lest you say, ‘We have found wisdom;
God may vanquish him, not a man.’
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 shall I wait, because they do not speak,
because they stand there, and answer no more?
17 I also will answer with my share;
I also will declare my opinion.
18 For I am full of words;
the spirit within me constrains me.
19 Behold, my belly is like wine that has no vent;
like new (K)wineskins ready to burst.
20 (L)I must speak, that I may find (M)relief;
I must open my lips and answer.
21 I will not (N)show partiality to any man
or use flattery toward any person.
22 For I do not know how to flatter,
else my Maker would soon take me away.
