Job 32 — parallel

32:1

Καὶ ἐπαύσατο Ἰὼβ ῥήμασιν· (¹)ἡσύχασαν δὲ καὶ οἱ τρεῖς φίλοι αὐτοῦ ἔτι ἀντειπεῖν Ἰὼβ, ἦν γὰρ Ἰὼβ δίκαιος ἐναντίον αὐτῶν.

So these three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

32:2

ὠργίσθη δὲ Ἐλιοῦς ὁ τοῦ Βαραχιὴλ ὁ Βουζείτης ἐκ τῆς συγγενείας Ῥάμ, τῆς Αὐσείτιδος χώρας· ὠργίσθη δὲ τῷ Ἰὼβ σφόδρα, διότι ἀπέφηνεν ἑαυτὸν δίκαιον ἐναντίον Κυρίου.

This kindled the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram. He burned with anger against Job for justifying himself rather than God,

32:3

καὶ κατὰ τῶν τριῶν δὲ φίῦλων ὠργίσθη σφόδρα, διότι οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν ἀποκριθῆναι ἀντίθετα Ἰὼβ, καὶ ἔθεντο αὐτὸν εἶναι ἀσεβῆ.

and he burned with anger against Job’s three friends because they had failed to refute Job, and yet had condemned him.

32:4

Ἐλους δὲ ὑπέμεινεν δοῦναι ἀπόκρισιν Ἰώβ, ὅτι πρεσβύτεροι αὐτοῦ εἰσιν ἡμέραις.

Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because the others were older than he.

32:5

καὶ εἶδεν Ἐλους ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀπόκρισις ἐν στόματι τῶν τριῶν ἀνδρῶν, καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ.

But when he saw that the three men had no further reply, his anger was kindled.

32:6

ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἐλιοῦς ὁ τοῦ Βαραχιὴλ ὁ Βουζείτης εἶπεν Νεώτερος μέν εὶμι τῷ χρόνῳ, ὑμεῖς δέ ἐστε πρεσβύτεροι· διὸ ἡσύχασα, φοβηθεὶς τοῦ ὑμῖν ἀναγγεῖλαι τὴν ἐμαυτοῦ ἐπιστήμην.

So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite declared: “I am young in years, while you are old; that is why I was timid and afraid to tell you what I know.

32:7

εἶπα δὲ ὅτι Οὐχ ὁ χρόνος ἐστὶν ὁ λαλῶν, ἐν πολλοῖς δὲ ἔτεσιν οὐκ οἴδασιν σοφίαν·

I thought that age should speak, and many years should teach wisdom.

32:8

ἀλλὰ πνεῦμά ἐστιν ἐν βροτοῖς, πνοὴ δὲ Μαντοκράτορός ἐστιν ἡ διδάσκουσα·

But there is in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding.

32:9

οὐχ οἱ πολυχρόνιοί εἰσιν σοφοί, οὐδʼ οἱ γέροντες οἴδασιν κρίμα.

It is not only who are wise, or the elderly who understand justice.
