Job 32
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
1於是這三個人，因 約伯 自以為義就不再回答他。
2Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
2那時有 布西 人 蘭 族 巴拉迦 的兒子 以利戶 向 約伯 發怒；因 約伯 自以為義，不以上帝為義。
3Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
3他又向 約伯 的三個朋友發怒；因為他們想不出回答的話來，仍以 約伯 為有罪。
4Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were older than he.
4以利戶 要與 約伯 說話，就等候他們，因為他們比自己年老。
5And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
5以利戶 見這三個人口中無話回答，就怒氣發作。
6And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said: I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I held back, and durst not declare you mine opinion.
6布西 人 巴拉迦 的兒子 以利戶 回答說： 我年輕，你們老邁； 因此我退讓，不敢向你們陳說我的意見。
7I said: 'Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.'
7我說，年老的當先說話； 壽高的當以智慧教訓人。
8But it is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty, that giveth them understanding.
8但在人裏面有靈； 全能者的氣使人有聰明。
9It is not the great that are wise, nor the aged that discern judgment.
9尊貴的不都有智慧； 壽高的不都能明白公平。
10Therefore I say: 'Hearken to me; I also will declare mine opinion.'
10因此我說：你們要聽我言； 我也要陳說我的意見。
11Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
11你們查究所要說的話； 那時我等候你們的話， 側耳聽你們的辯論，
12Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none that convinced Job, or that answered his words, among you.
12留心聽你們； 誰知你們中間無一人折服 約伯 ， 駁倒他的話。
13Beware lest ye say: 'We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man!'
13你們切不可說：我們尋得智慧； 上帝能勝他，人卻不能。
14For he hath not directed his words against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches.
14約伯 沒有向我爭辯； 我也不用你們的話回答他。
15They are amazed, they answer no more; words are departed from them.
15他們驚奇不再回答， 一言不發。
16And shall I wait, because they speak not, because they stand still, and answer no more?
16我豈因他們不說話， 站住不再回答，仍舊等候呢？
17I also will answer my part, I also will declare mine opinion.
17我也要回答我的一分話， 陳說我的意見。
18For I am full of words; the spirit within me constraineth me.
18因為我的言語滿懷； 我裏面的靈激動我。
19Behold, mine inwards are as wine which hath no vent; like new wine-skins which are ready to burst.
19我的胸懷如盛酒 之囊 沒有出氣之縫， 又如新皮袋快要破裂。
20I will speak, that I may find relief; I will open my lips and answer.
20我要說話，使我舒暢； 我要開口回答。
21Let me not, I pray you, respect any man's person; neither will I give flattering titles unto any man.
21我必不看人的情面， 也不奉承人。
22For I know not to give flattering titles; else would my Maker soon take me away.
22我不曉得奉承； 若奉承 ，造我的主必快快除滅我。
