Berean Standard Bible
1Addens quoque Eliu, hæc locutus est:
1And Elihu continued:
2[Sustine me paululum, et indicabo tibi: adhuc enim habeo quod pro Deo loquar.
2“Bear with me a little longer, and I will show you that there is more to be said on God’s behalf.
3Repetam scientiam meam a principio, et operatorem meum probabo justum.
3I get my knowledge from afar, and I will ascribe justice to my Maker.
4Vere enim absque mendacio sermones mei, et perfecta scientia probabitur tibi.
4For truly my words are free of falsehood; one perfect in knowledge is with you.
5Deus potentes non abjicit, cum et ipse sit potens:
5Indeed, God is mighty, but He despises no one; He is mighty in strength of understanding.
6sed non salvat impios, et judicium pauperibus tribuit.
6He does not keep the wicked alive, but He grants justice to the afflicted.
7Non auferet a justo oculos suos: et reges in solio collocat in perpetuum, et illi eriguntur.
7He does not take His eyes off the righteous, but He enthrones them with kings and exalts them forever.
8Et si fuerint in catenis, et vinciantur funibus paupertatis,
8And if men are bound with chains, caught in cords of affliction,
9indicabit eis opera eorum, et scelera eorum, quia violenti fuerunt.
9then He tells them their deeds and how arrogantly they have transgressed.
10Revelabit quoque aurem eorum, ut corripiat: et loquetur, ut revertantur ab iniquitate.
10He opens their ears to correction and commands that they turn from iniquity.
11Si audierint et observaverint, complebunt dies suos in bono, et annos suos in gloria:
11If they obey and serve Him, then they end their days in prosperity and their years in happiness.
12si autem non audierint, transibunt per gladium, et consumentur in stultitia.
12But if they do not obey, then they perish by the sword and die without knowledge.
13Simulatores et callidi provocant iram Dei, neque clamabunt cum vincti fuerint.
13The godless in heart harbor resentment; even when He binds them, they do not cry for help.
14Morietur in tempestate anima eorum, et vita eorum inter effeminatos.
14They die in their youth, among the male shrine prostitutes.
15Eripiet de angustia sua pauperem, et revelabit in tribulatione aurem ejus.
15God rescues the afflicted by their affliction and opens their ears in oppression.
16Igitur salvabit te de ore angusto latissime, et non habente fundamentum subter se: requies autem mensæ tuæ erit plena pinguedine.
16Indeed, He drew you from the jaws of distress to a spacious and broad place, to a table full of richness.
17Causa tua quasi impii judicata est: causam judiciumque recipies.
17But now you are laden with the judgment due the wicked; judgment and justice have seized you.
18Non te ergo superet ira ut aliquem opprimas: nec multitudo donorum inclinet te.
18Be careful that no one lures you with riches; do not let a large bribe lead you astray.
19Depone magnitudinem tuam absque tribulatione, et omnes robustos fortitudine.
19Can your wealth or all your mighty effort keep you from distress?
20Ne protrahas noctem, ut ascendant populi pro eis.
20Do not long for the night, when people vanish from their homes.
21Cave ne declines ad iniquitatem: hanc enim cœpisti sequi post miseriam.
21Be careful not to turn to iniquity, for this you have preferred to affliction.
22Ecce Deus excelsus in fortitudine sua, et nullus ei similis in legislatoribus.
22Behold, God is exalted in His power. Who is a teacher like Him?
23Quis poterit scrutari vias ejus? aut quis potest ei dicere: Operatus es iniquitatem?
23Who has appointed His way for Him, or told Him, ‘You have done wrong’?
24Memento quod ignores opus ejus, de quo cecinerunt viri.
24Remember to magnify His work, which men have praised in song.
25Omnes homines vident eum: unusquisque intuetur procul.
25All mankind has seen it; men behold it from afar.
26Ecce Deus magnus vincens scientiam nostram: numerus annorum ejus inæstimabilis.
26Indeed, God is great—beyond our knowledge; the number of His years is unsearchable.
27Qui aufert stillas pluviæ, et effundit imbres ad instar gurgitum,
27For He draws up drops of water which distill the rain from the mist,
28qui de nubibus fluunt quæ prætexunt cuncta desuper.
28which the clouds pour out and shower abundantly on mankind.
29Si voluerit extendere nubes quasi tentorium suum,
29Furthermore, who can understand how the clouds spread out, how the thunder roars from His pavilion?
30et fulgurare lumine suo desuper, cardines quoque maris operiet.
30See how He scatters His lightning around Him and covers the depths of the sea.
31Per hæc enim judicat populos, et dat escas multis mortalibus.
31For by these He judges the nations and provides food in abundance.
32In manibus abscondit lucem, et præcepit ei ut rursus adveniat.
32He fills His hands with lightning and commands it to strike its mark.
33Annuntiat de ea amico suo, quod possessio ejus sit, et ad eam possit ascendere.]
33The thunder declares His presence; even the cattle regard the rising storm.
