約伯記 Job

32:1	[hb5]	於是這三個人、因約伯自以為義、就不再回答他。
	[bbe]	So these three men gave no more answers to Job, because he seemed to himself to be right.
32:2	[hb5]	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　神為義。
	[bbe]	And Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was angry, burning with wrath against Job, because he seemed to himself more right than God;
32:3	[hb5]	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。
	[bbe]	And he was angry with his three friends, because they had been unable to give him an answer, and had not made Job's sin clear.
32:4	[hb5]	以利戶要與約伯說話、就等候他們、因為他們比自己年老。
	[bbe]	Now Elihu had kept quiet while Job was talking, because they were older than he;
32:5	[hb5]	以利戶見這三個人口中無話回答、就怒氣發作。
	[bbe]	And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, he was very angry.
32:6	[hb5]	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。
	[bbe]	And Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, made answer and said, I am young, and you are very old, so I was in fear, and kept myself from putting my knowledge before you.
32:7	[hb5]	我說、年老的當先說話、壽高的當以智慧教訓人。
	[bbe]	I said to myself, It is right for the old to say what is in their minds, and for those who are far on in years to give out wisdom.
32:8	[hb5]	但在人裡面有靈、全能者的氣使人有聰明。
	[bbe]	But truly it is the spirit in man, even the breath of the Ruler of all, which gives them knowledge.
32:9	[hb5]	尊貴的不都有智慧、壽高的不都能明白公平。
	[bbe]	It is not the old who are wise, and those who are full of years have not the knowledge of what is right.
32:10	[hb5]	因此我說、你們要聽我言、我也要陳說我的意見。
	[bbe]	So I say, Give ear to me, and I will put forward my knowledge.
32:11	[hb5]	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、
	[bbe]	I was waiting for your words, I was giving ear to your wise sayings; while you were searching out what to say,
32:12	[hb5]	留心聽你們．誰知你們中間無一人折服約伯、駁倒他的話。
	[bbe]	I was taking note; and truly not one of you was able to make clear Job's error, or to give an answer to his words.
32:13	[hb5]	你們切不可說、我們尋得智慧．　神能勝他、人卻不能。
	[bbe]	Take care that you do not say, Wisdom is here; God may overcome him, but not man.
32:14	[hb5]	約伯沒有向我爭辯、我也不用你們的話回答他。
	[bbe]	I will not put forward words like these, or make use of your sayings in answer to him.
32:15	[hb5]	他們驚奇不再回答、一言不發。
	[bbe]	Fear has overcome them, they have no more answers to give; they have come to an end of words.
32:16	[hb5]	我豈因他們不說話、站住不再回答、仍舊等候呢。
	[bbe]	And am I to go on waiting while they have nothing to say? while they keep quiet and give no more answers?
32:17	[hb5]	我也要回答我的一分話、陳說我的意見。
	[bbe]	I will give my answer; I will put forward my knowledge:
32:18	[hb5]	因為我的言語滿懷、我裡面的靈激動我。
	[bbe]	For I am full of words, I am unable to keep in my breath any longer:
32:19	[hb5]	我的胸懷如盛酒之囊、沒有出氣之縫、又如新皮袋快要破裂。
	[bbe]	My stomach is like wine which is unable to get out; like skins full of new wine, it is almost burst.
32:20	[hb5]	我要說話、使我舒暢．我要開口回答。
	[bbe]	Let me say what is in my mind, so that I may get comfort; let me give answer with open mouth.
32:21	[hb5]	我必不看人的情面、也不奉承人。
	[bbe]	Let me not give respect to any man, or give names of honour to any living.
32:22	[hb5]	我不曉得奉承、若奉承、造我的主必快快除滅我。
	[bbe]	For I am not able to give names of honour to any man; and if I did, my Maker would quickly take me away.
