World English Bible
1ΗΣΥΧΑΣΑΝ δὲ καὶ οἱ τρεῖς φίλοι αὐτοῦ ἔτι ἀντειπεῖν Ἰώβ, ἦν γὰρ Ἰὼβ δίκαιος ἐναντίον αὐτῶν.
1So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
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.
2Then the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was kindled against Job. His wrath was kindled because he justified himself rather than God.
3καὶ κατὰ τῶν τριῶν δὲ φίλων ὠργίσθη σφόδρα, διότι οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν ἀποκριθῆναι ἀντίθετα Ἰὼβ καὶ ἔθεντο αὐτὸν εἶναι ἀσεβῆ.
3Also his wrath was kindled against his three friends, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
4Ἐλιοὺς δὲ ὑπέμεινε δοῦναι ἀπόκρισιν Ἰώβ, ὅτι πρεσβύτεροι αὐτοῦ εἰσιν ἡμέραις.
4Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job, because they were older than he.
5καὶ εἶδεν ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀπόκρισις ἐν στόματι τῶν τριῶν ἀνδρῶν, καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ.
5When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
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.
6Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered, “I am young, and you are very old. Therefore I held back, and didn’t dare show you my opinion.
7εἶπα δὲ ὅτι οὐχ ὁ χρόνος ἐστὶν ὁ λαλῶν, ἐν πολλοῖς δὲ ἔτεσι οἴδασι σοφίαν,
7I said, ‘Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.’
8ἀλλὰ πνεῦμά ἐστιν ἐν βροτοῖς, πνοὴ δὲ Παντοκράτορός ἐστιν ἡ διδάσκουσα·
8But there is a spirit in man, and the Spirit of the Almighty gives them understanding.
9οὐχ οἱ πολυχρόνιοί εἰσι σοφοί, οὐδ᾿ οἱ γέροντες οἴδασι κρίμα.
9It is not the great who are wise, nor the aged who understand justice.
10διὸ εἶπα· ἀκούσατέ μου, καὶ ἀναγγελῶ ὑμῖν ἃ οἶδα.
10Therefore I said, ‘Listen to me; I also will show my opinion.’
11ἐνωτίζεσθέ μου τὰ ρήματα· ἐρῶ γὰρ ὑμῶν ἀκουόντων, ἄχρις οὗ ἐτάσητε λόγους,
11“Behold, I waited for your words, and I listened for your reasoning, while you searched out what to say.
12καὶ μέχρι ὑμῶν συνήσω. καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἦν τῷ Ἰὼβ ἐλέγχων ἀνταποκρινόμενος ρήματα αὐτοῦ ἐξ ὑμῶν,
12Yes, I gave you my full attention, but there was no one who convinced Job, or who answered his words, among you.
13ἵνα μὴ εἴπητε· εὕρομεν σοφίαν Κυρίῳ προσθέμενοι·
13Beware lest you say, ‘We have found wisdom. God may refute him, not man;’
14ἀνθρώπῳ δὲ ἐπετρέψατε λαλῆσαι τοιαῦτα ρήματα.
14for he has not directed his words against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches.
15ἐπτοήθησαν, οὐκ ἀπεκρίθησαν ἔτι, ἐπαλαίωσαν ἐξ αὐτῶν λόγους.
15“They are amazed. They answer no more. They don’t have a word to say.
16ὑπέμεινα, οὐ γὰρ ἐλάλησαν· ὅτι ἔστησαν, οὐκ ἀπεκρίθησαν.
16Shall I wait, because they don’t speak, because they stand still, and answer no more?
17ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἐλιοὺς λέγει· πάλιν λαλήσω·
17I also will answer my part, and I also will show my opinion.
18πλήρης γάρ εἰμι ρημάτων, ὀλέκει γάρ με τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς γαστρός·
18For I am full of words. The spirit within me constrains me.
19ἡ δὲ γαστήρ μου ὥσπερ ἀσκὸς γλεύκους ζέων δεδεμένος ἢ ὥσπερ φυσητὴρ χαλκέως ἐρρηγώς.
19Behold, my breast is as wine which has no vent; like new wineskins it is ready to burst.
20λαλήσω, ἵνα ἀναπαύσωμαι ἀνοίξας τὰ χείλη·
20I will speak, that I may be refreshed. I will open my lips and answer.
21ἄνθρωπον γὰρ οὐ μὴ αἰσχυνθῶ, ἀλλὰ μὴν οὐδὲ βροτὸν οὐ μὴ ἐντραπῶ·
21Please don’t let me respect any man’s person, neither will I give flattering titles to any man.
22οὐ γὰρ ἐπίσταμαι θαυμάσαι πρόσωπα· εἰ δὲ μή, καὶ ἐμὲ σῆτες ἔδονται.
22For I don’t know how to give flattering titles, or else my Maker would soon take me away.
