1
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
Ἡσύχασαν δὲ καὶ οἱ τρεῖς φίλοι αὐτοῦ ἔτι ἀντειπεῖν Ἰὼβ, ἦν γὰρ Ἰὼβ δίκαιος ἐναντίον αὐτῶν.
2
Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
Ὠργίσθη δὲ Ἐλιοὺς ὁ τοῦ Βαραχιὴλ ὁ Βουζίτης ἐκ τῆς συγγενείας Ῥὰμ, τῆς Αὐσίτιδος χώρας· ὠργίσθη δὲ τῷ Ἰὼβ σφόδρα, διότι ἀπέφῃνεν ἑαυτὸν δίκαιον ἐναντίον Κυρίου·
3
Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
Καὶ κατὰ τῶν τριῶν δὲ φίλων ὠργίσθη σφόδρα, διότι οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν ἀποκριθῆναι ἀντίθετα Ἰὼβ, καὶ ἔθεντο αὐτὸν εἶναι ἀσεβῆ.
4
Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.
Ἐλιοὺς δὲ ὑπέμεινε δοῦναι ἀπόκρισιν Ἰὼβ, ὅτι πρεσβύτεροι αὐτοῦ εἰσιν ἡμέραις.
5
When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.
Καὶ εἶδεν Ἐλιοὺς, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀπόκρισις ἐν στόματι τῶν τριῶν ἀνδρῶν, καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ.
6
And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.
Ὑπολαβὼν 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.
7
I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
Εἶπα δὲ, ὅτι οὐχ ὁ χρόνος ἐστὶν ὁ λαλῶν, ἐν πολλοῖς δὲ ἔτεσιν οἴδασι σοφίαν.
8
But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
Ἀλλὰ πνεῦμά ἐστιν ἐν βροτοῖς· πνοὴ δὲ παντοκράτορός ἐστιν ἡ διδάσκουσα.
9
Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
Οὐχ οἱ πολυχρόνιοί εἰσι σοφοὶ, οὐδʼ οἱ γέροντες οἴδασι κρίμα.
10
Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.
Διὸ εἶπα, ἀκούσατέ μου, καὶ ἀναγγελῶ ὑμῖν ἃ οἶδα.
11
Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
Ἐνωτίζεσθέ μου τὰ ῥήματα· ἐρῶ γὰρ ὑμῶν ἀκουόντων ἄχρις οὗ ἐτάσητε λόγουις,
12
Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
καὶ μέχρι ὑμῶν συνήσω, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἦν τῷ Ἰὼβ ἐλέγχων ἀνταποκρινόμενος ῥήματα αὐτοῦ ἐξ ὑμῶν·
13
Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
ἵνα μὴ εἴπητε, εὕρομεν σοφίαν Κυρίῳ προσθέμενοι.
14
Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
Ἀνθρώπῳ δὲ ἐπετρέψατε λαλῆσαι τοιαῦτα ῥήματα.
15
They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
Ἐπτοήθησαν, οὐκ ἀπεκρίθησαν ἔτι, ἐπαλαίωσαν ἐξ αὐτῶν λόγους.
16
When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)
Ὑπέμεινα, οὐ γὰρ ἐλάλησα, ὅτι ἔστησαν, οὐκ ἀπεκρίθησαν.
17
I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἐλιοῦς, λέγει,
18
For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
πάλιν λαλήσω, πλήρης γάρ εἰμι ῥημάτων, ὀλέκει γάρ με τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς γαστρός.
19
Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
Ἡ δὲ γαστήρ μου ὥσπερ ἀσκὸς γλεύκους ζέων δεδεμένος, ἢ ὥσπερ φυσητὴρ χαλκέως ἐῤῥηγώς.
20
I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
Λαλήσω, ἵνα ἀναπαύσωμαι ἀνοίξας τὰ χείλη,
21
Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
ἄνθρωπον γὰρ οὐ μὴ αἰσχυνθῶ, ἀλλὰ μὴν οὐδὲ βροτὸν οὐ μὴ ἐντραπῶ.
22
For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
Οὐ γὰρ ἐπίσταμαι θαυμάσαι πρόσωπα· εἰ δὲ μὴ, καὶ ἐμὲ σῆτες ἔδονται.
