Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1So these three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
1ΗΣΥΧΑΣΑΝ δὲ καὶ οἱ τρεῖς φίλοι αὐτοῦ ἔτι ἀντειπεῖν Ἰώβ, ἦν γὰρ Ἰὼβ δίκαιος ἐναντίον αὐτῶν.
2This kindled the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram. He burned with anger against Job for justifying himself rather than God,
2ὠργίσθη δὲ Ἐλιοὺς ὁ τοῦ Βαραχιὴλ ὁ Βουζίτης ἐκ τῆς συγγενείας Ρὰμ τῆς Αὐσίτιδος χώρας· ὠργίσθη δὲ τῷ Ἰὼβ σφόδρα, διότι ἀπέφηνεν ἑαυτὸν δίκαιον ἐναντίον Κυρίου.
3and he burned with anger against Job’s three friends because they had failed to refute Job, and yet had condemned him.
3καὶ κατὰ τῶν τριῶν δὲ φίλων ὠργίσθη σφόδρα, διότι οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν ἀποκριθῆναι ἀντίθετα Ἰὼβ καὶ ἔθεντο αὐτὸν εἶναι ἀσεβῆ.
4Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because the others were older than he.
4Ἐλιοὺς δὲ ὑπέμεινε δοῦναι ἀπόκρισιν Ἰώβ, ὅτι πρεσβύτεροι αὐτοῦ εἰσιν ἡμέραις.
5But when he saw that the three men had no further reply, his anger was kindled.
5καὶ εἶδεν ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀπόκρισις ἐν στόματι τῶν τριῶν ἀνδρῶν, καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ.
6So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite declared: “I am young in years, while you are old; that is why I was timid and afraid to tell you what I know.
6ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἐλιοὺς ὁ τοῦ Βαραχιὴλ ὁ Βουζίτης εἶπε· νεώτερος μέν εἰμι τῷ χρόνῳ, ὑμεῖς δέ ἐστε πρεσβύτεροι· διὸ ἡσύχασα φοβηθεὶς τοῦ ὑμῖν ἀναγγεῖλαι τὴν ἐμαυτοῦ ἐπιστήμην.
7I thought that age should speak, and many years should teach wisdom.
7εἶπα δὲ ὅτι οὐχ ὁ χρόνος ἐστὶν ὁ λαλῶν, ἐν πολλοῖς δὲ ἔτεσι οἴδασι σοφίαν,
8But there is a spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding.
8ἀλλὰ πνεῦμά ἐστιν ἐν βροτοῖς, πνοὴ δὲ Παντοκράτορός ἐστιν ἡ διδάσκουσα·
9It is not only the old who are wise, or the elderly who understand justice.
9οὐχ οἱ πολυχρόνιοί εἰσι σοφοί, οὐδ᾿ οἱ γέροντες οἴδασι κρίμα.
10Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me; I too will declare what I know.’
10διὸ εἶπα· ἀκούσατέ μου, καὶ ἀναγγελῶ ὑμῖν ἃ οἶδα.
11Indeed, I waited while you spoke; I listened to your reasoning; as you searched for words,
11ἐνωτίζεσθέ μου τὰ ρήματα· ἐρῶ γὰρ ὑμῶν ἀκουόντων, ἄχρις οὗ ἐτάσητε λόγους,
12I paid you full attention. But no one proved Job wrong; not one of you rebutted his arguments.
12καὶ μέχρι ὑμῶν συνήσω. καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἦν τῷ Ἰὼβ ἐλέγχων ἀνταποκρινόμενος ρήματα αὐτοῦ ἐξ ὑμῶν,
13So do not claim, ‘We have found wisdom; let God, not man, refute him.’
13ἵνα μὴ εἴπητε· εὕρομεν σοφίαν Κυρίῳ προσθέμενοι·
14But Job has not directed his words against me, and I will not answer him with your arguments.
14ἀνθρώπῳ δὲ ἐπετρέψατε λαλῆσαι τοιαῦτα ρήματα.
15Job’s friends are dismayed, with no more to say; words have escaped them.
15ἐπτοήθησαν, οὐκ ἀπεκρίθησαν ἔτι, ἐπαλαίωσαν ἐξ αὐτῶν λόγους.
16Must I wait, now that they are silent, now that they stand and no longer reply?
16ὑπέμεινα, οὐ γὰρ ἐλάλησαν· ὅτι ἔστησαν, οὐκ ἀπεκρίθησαν.
17I too will answer; yes, I will declare what I know.
17ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἐλιοὺς λέγει· πάλιν λαλήσω·
18For I am full of words, and my spirit within me compels me.
18πλήρης γάρ εἰμι ρημάτων, ὀλέκει γάρ με τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς γαστρός·
19Behold, my belly is like unvented wine; it is about to burst like a new wineskin.
19ἡ δὲ γαστήρ μου ὥσπερ ἀσκὸς γλεύκους ζέων δεδεμένος ἢ ὥσπερ φυσητὴρ χαλκέως ἐρρηγώς.
20I must speak and find relief; I must open my lips and respond.
20λαλήσω, ἵνα ἀναπαύσωμαι ἀνοίξας τὰ χείλη·
21I will be partial to no one, nor will I flatter any man.
21ἄνθρωπον γὰρ οὐ μὴ αἰσχυνθῶ, ἀλλὰ μὴν οὐδὲ βροτὸν οὐ μὴ ἐντραπῶ·
22For I do not know how to flatter, or my Maker would remove me in an instant.
22οὐ γὰρ ἐπίσταμαι θαυμάσαι πρόσωπα· εἰ δὲ μή, καὶ ἐμὲ σῆτες ἔδονται.
