Job 32

NEW JERUSALEM	VULGATA
1 These three men stopped arguing with Job, because he was convinced of his uprightness.	1 Omiserunt autem tres viri isti respondere Job, eo quod justus sibi videretur.
2 But Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the clan of Ram, became very angry. He fumed with rageagainst Job for thinking that he was right and God was wrong;	2 Et iratus indignatusque est Eliu filius Barachel Buzites, de cognatione Ram : iratus est autem adversum Job, eo quod justum se esse diceret coram Deo.
3 and he was equal y angry with the three friends for giving up the argument and thus putting God in thewrong.	3 Porro adversum amicos ejus indignatus est, eo quod non invenissent responsionem rationabilem, sed tantummodo condemnassent Job.
4 While they and Job were talking, Elihu had waited, because they were older than he was;	4 Igitur Eliu expectavit Job loquentem, eo quod seniores essent qui loquebantur.
5 but when he saw that the three men had not another word to say in answer, his anger burst out.	5 Cum autem vidisset quod tres respondere non potuissent, iratus est vehementer.
6 And Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite began to speak. He said: I am stil young, and you are old, so Iwas shy and hesitant to tel you what I know.	6 Respondensque Eliu filius Barachel Buzites, dixit : Junior sum tempore, vos autem antiquiores : idcirco, demisso capite, veritus sum vobis indicare meam sententiam.
7 I thought, 'Age ought to speak, advancing years wil convey wisdom.'	7 Sperabam enim quod ætas prolixior loqueretur, et annorum multitudo doceret sapientiam.
8 There is, you see, a spirit residing in humanity, the breath of God conferring intelligence.	8 Sed, ut video, spiritus est in hominibus, et inspiratio Omnipotentis dat intelligentiam.
9 Great age does not give wisdom, nor seniority fair judgement.	9 Non sunt longævi sapientes, nec senes intelligunt judicium.
10 And so I ask you for a hearing; now it is my turn to tel what I know.	10 Ideo dicam : Audite me : ostendam vobis etiam ego meam sapientiam.
11 Up to now, I was hanging on your words, I paid attention to your arguments as each of you chose hiswords.	11 Expectavi enim sermones vestros ; audivi prudentiam vestram, donec disceptaremini sermonibus ;
12 I paid very close attention; and I see that none of you has confounded Job, not one of you has refutedwhat he says.	12 et donec putabam vos aliquid dicere, considerabam : sed, ut video, non est qui possit arguere Job, et respondere ex vobis sermonibus ejus.
13 So do not say, 'We have found wisdom; our teaching is divine and not human.'	13 Ne forte dicatis : Invenimus sapientiam : Deus projecit eum, non homo.
14 I am not going to follow the same line of argument; my reply to Job wil be couched in different terms.	14 Nihil locutus est mihi : et ego non secundum sermones vestros respondebo illi.
15 They are nonplussed for an answer, words have failed them.	15 Extimuerunt, nec responderunt ultra, abstuleruntque a se eloquia.
16 I have been waiting. Since they do not speak, since they have given up the argument,	16 Quoniam igitur expectavi, et non sunt locuti : steterunt, nec ultra responderunt :
17 now I shal have my say, my turn has come to say what I know.	17 respondebo et ego partem meam, et ostendam scientiam meam.
18 For I am ful of words and forced to speak by a spirit within me;	18 Plenus sum enim sermonibus, et coarctat me spiritus uteri mei.
19 within me, it feels like new wine seeking a vent, bursting out of new wine-skins.	19 En venter meus quasi mustum absque spiraculo, quod lagunculas novas disrumpit.
20 To gain relief, I must speak, I must open my lips and reply.	20 Loquar, et respirabo paululum : aperiam labia mea, et respondebo.
21 I shall not take anyone's side, I shall not flatter anyone.	21 Non accipiam personam viri, et Deum homini non æquabo.
22 I do not know how to flatter -- or my Creator would make short work of me.	22 Nescio enim quamdiu subsistam, et si post modicum tollat me factor meus.
