Job 32
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1So these three men ceased to answer 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.
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.
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.
3Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
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 unto Job, because they were older than he.
4Ἐλιοὺς δὲ ὑπέμεινε δοῦναι ἀπόκρισιν Ἰώβ, ὅτι πρεσβύτεροι αὐτοῦ εἰσιν ἡμέραις.
5And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
5καὶ εἶδεν ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀπόκρισις ἐν στόματι τῶν τριῶν ἀνδρῶν, καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ.
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.
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 said: 'Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.'
7εἶπα δὲ ὅτι οὐχ ὁ χρόνος ἐστὶν ὁ λαλῶν, ἐν πολλοῖς δὲ ἔτεσι οἴδασι σοφίαν,
8But it is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty, that giveth them understanding.
8ἀλλὰ πνεῦμά ἐστιν ἐν βροτοῖς, πνοὴ δὲ Παντοκράτορός ἐστιν ἡ διδάσκουσα·
9It is not the great that are wise, nor the aged that discern judgment.
9οὐχ οἱ πολυχρόνιοί εἰσι σοφοί, οὐδ᾿ οἱ γέροντες οἴδασι κρίμα.
10Therefore I say: 'Hearken to me; I also will declare mine opinion.'
10διὸ εἶπα· ἀκούσατέ μου, καὶ ἀναγγελῶ ὑμῖν ἃ οἶδα.
11Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
11ἐνωτίζεσθέ μου τὰ ρήματα· ἐρῶ γὰρ ὑμῶν ἀκουόντων, ἄχρις οὗ ἐτάσητε λόγους,
12Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none that convinced Job, or that answered his words, among you.
12καὶ μέχρι ὑμῶν συνήσω. καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἦν τῷ Ἰὼβ ἐλέγχων ἀνταποκρινόμενος ρήματα αὐτοῦ ἐξ ὑμῶν,
13Beware lest ye say: 'We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man!'
13ἵνα μὴ εἴπητε· εὕρομεν σοφίαν Κυρίῳ προσθέμενοι·
14For he hath not directed his words against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches.
14ἀνθρώπῳ δὲ ἐπετρέψατε λαλῆσαι τοιαῦτα ρήματα.
15They are amazed, they answer no more; words are departed from them.
15ἐπτοήθησαν, οὐκ ἀπεκρίθησαν ἔτι, ἐπαλαίωσαν ἐξ αὐτῶν λόγους.
16And shall I wait, because they speak not, because they stand still, and answer no more?
16ὑπέμεινα, οὐ γὰρ ἐλάλησαν· ὅτι ἔστησαν, οὐκ ἀπεκρίθησαν.
17I also will answer my part, I also will declare mine opinion.
17ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἐλιοὺς λέγει· πάλιν λαλήσω·
18For I am full of words; the spirit within me constraineth me.
18πλήρης γάρ εἰμι ρημάτων, ὀλέκει γάρ με τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς γαστρός·
19Behold, mine inwards are as wine which hath no vent; like new wine-skins which are ready to burst.
19ἡ δὲ γαστήρ μου ὥσπερ ἀσκὸς γλεύκους ζέων δεδεμένος ἢ ὥσπερ φυσητὴρ χαλκέως ἐρρηγώς.
20I will speak, that I may find relief; I will open my lips and answer.
20λαλήσω, ἵνα ἀναπαύσωμαι ἀνοίξας τὰ χείλη·
21Let me not, I pray you, respect any man's person; neither will I give flattering titles unto any man.
21ἄνθρωπον γὰρ οὐ μὴ αἰσχυνθῶ, ἀλλὰ μὴν οὐδὲ βροτὸν οὐ μὴ ἐντραπῶ·
22For I know not to give flattering titles; else would my Maker soon take me away.
22οὐ γὰρ ἐπίσταμαι θαυμάσαι πρόσωπα· εἰ δὲ μή, καὶ ἐμὲ σῆτες ἔδονται.
