The Book of Job
Chapter 32
| |
32:1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he seemed just to himself. Omiserunt autem tres viri isti respondere Job, eo quod justus sibi videretur.
|
|
32:2 And Eliu, the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, was angry, and was moved to indignation: now he was angry against Job, because he said he was just before God. Et iratus indignatusque est Eliu filius Barachel Buzites, de cognatione Ram: iratus est autem adversum Job, eo quod justum se esse diceret coram Deo.
|
|
32:3 And he was angry with his friends, because they had not found a reasonable answer, but only had condemned Job. Porro adversum amicos ejus indignatus est, eo quod non invenissent responsionem rationabilem, sed tantummodo condemnassent Job.
|
|
32:4 So Eliu waited while Job was speaking, because they were his elders that were speaking. Igitur Eliu expectavit Job loquentem, eo quod seniores essent qui loquebantur.
|
|
32:5 But when he saw that the three were not able to answer, he was exceedingly angry. Cum autem vidisset quod tres respondere non potuissent, iratus est vehementer.
|
|
32:6 Then Eliu, the son of Barachel, the Buzite, answered, and said: I am younger in days, and you are more ancient; therefore, hanging down my head, I was afraid to shew you my opinion. Respondensque Eliu filius Barachel Buzites, dixit: Junior sum tempore, vos autem antiquiores: idcirco, demisso capite, veritus sum vobis indicare meam sententiam.
|
|
32:7 For I hoped that greater age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom. Sperabam enim quod ætas prolixior loqueretur, et annorum multitudo doceret sapientiam.
|
|
32:8 But, as I see, there is a spirit in men, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth understanding. Sed, ut video, spiritus est in hominibus, et inspiratio Omnipotentis dat intelligentiam.
|
|
32:9 They that are aged are not the wise men, neither do the ancients understand judgment. Non sunt longævi sapientes, nec senes intelligunt judicium.
|
|
32:10 Therefore I will speak: Hearken to me, I also will shew you my wisdom. Ideo dicam: Audite me: ostendam vobis etiam ego meam sapientiam.
|
|
32:11 For I have waited for your words, I have given ear to your wisdom, as long as you were disputing in words. Expectavi enim sermones vestros; audivi prudentiam vestram, donec disceptaremini sermonibus;
|
|
32:12 And as long as I thought you said something, I considered: but, as I see, there is none of you that can convince Job, and answer his words. et donec putabam vos aliquid dicere, considerabam: sed, ut video, non est qui possit arguere Job, et respondere ex vobis sermonibus ejus.
|
|
32:13 Lest you should say: We have found wisdom, God hath cast him down, not man. Ne forte dicatis: Invenimus sapientiam: Deus projecit eum, non homo.
|
|
32:14 He hath spoken nothing to me, and I will not answer him according to your words. Nihil locutus est mihi: et ego non secundum sermones vestros respondebo illi.
|
|
32:15 They were afraid, and answered no more, and they left off speaking. Extimuerunt, nec responderunt ultra, abstuleruntque a se eloquia.
|
|
32:16 Therefore, because I have waited, and they have not spoken: they stood, and answered no more: Quoniam igitur expectavi, et non sunt locuti: steterunt, nec ultra responderunt:
|
|
32:17 I also will answer my part, and will shew my knowledge. respondebo et ego partem meam, et ostendam scientiam meam.
|
|
32:18 For I am full of matter to speak of, and the spirit of my bowels straiteneth me. Plenus sum enim sermonibus, et coarctat me spiritus uteri mei.
|
|
32:19 Behold, my belly is as new wine which wanteth vent, which bursteth the new vessels. En venter meus quasi mustum absque spiraculo, quod lagunculas novas disrumpit.
|
|
32:20 I will speak, and take breath a little: I will open my lips, and will answer. Loquar, et respirabo paululum: aperiam labia mea, et respondebo.
|
|
32:21 I will not accept the person of man, and I will not level God with man. Non accipiam personam viri, et Deum homini non æquabo.
|
|
32:22 For I know not how long I shall continue, and whether after a while my maker may take me away. Nescio enim quamdiu subsistam, et si post modicum tollat me factor meus.
