ΙΩΒ - Giobbe - Job 32

LXX	NEW JERUSALEM
1 ησυχασαν δε και οι τρεις φιλοι αυτου ετι αντειπειν ιωβ ην γαρ ιωβ δικαιος εναντιον αυτων	1 These three men stopped arguing with Job, because he was convinced of his uprightness.
2 ωργισθη δε ελιους ο του βαραχιηλ ο βουζιτης εκ της συγγενειας ραμ της αυσιτιδος χωρας ωργισθη δε τω ιωβ σφοδρα διοτι απεφηνεν εαυτον δικαιον εναντιον κυριου	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;
3 και κατα των τριων δε φιλων ωργισθη σφοδρα διοτι ουκ ηδυνηθησαν αποκριθηναι αντιθετα ιωβ και εθεντο αυτον ειναι ασεβη	3 and he was equal y angry with the three friends for giving up the argument and thus putting God in thewrong.
4 ελιους δε υπεμεινεν δουναι αποκρισιν ιωβ οτι πρεσβυτεροι αυτου εισιν ημεραις	4 While they and Job were talking, Elihu had waited, because they were older than he was;
5 και ειδεν ελιους οτι ουκ εστιν αποκρισις εν στοματι των τριων ανδρων και εθυμωθη οργη αυτου	5 but when he saw that the three men had not another word to say in answer, his anger burst out.
6 υπολαβων δε ελιους ο του βαραχιηλ ο βουζιτης ειπεν νεωτερος μεν ειμι τω χρονω υμεις δε εστε πρεσβυτεροι διο ησυχασα φοβηθεις του υμιν αναγγειλαι την εμαυτου επιστημην	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.
7 ειπα δε οτι ο χρονος εστιν ο λαλων εν πολλοις δε ετεσιν οιδασιν σοφιαν	7 I thought, 'Age ought to speak, advancing years wil convey wisdom.'
8 αλλα πνευμα εστιν εν βροτοις πνοη δε παντοκρατορος εστιν η διδασκουσα	8 There is, you see, a spirit residing in humanity, the breath of God conferring intelligence.
9 ουχ οι πολυχρονιοι εισιν σοφοι ουδ' οι γεροντες οιδασιν κριμα	9 Great age does not give wisdom, nor seniority fair judgement.
10 διο ειπα ακουσατε μου και αναγγελω υμιν α οιδα	10 And so I ask you for a hearing; now it is my turn to tel what I know.
11 ενωτιζεσθε μου τα ρηματα ερω γαρ υμων ακουοντων αχρι ου ετασητε λογους	11 Up to now, I was hanging on your words, I paid attention to your arguments as each of you chose hiswords.
12 και μεχρι υμων συνησω και ιδου ουκ ην τω ιωβ ελεγχων ανταποκρινομενος ρηματα αυτου εξ υμων	12 I paid very close attention; and I see that none of you has confounded Job, not one of you has refutedwhat he says.
13 ινα μη ειπητε ευρομεν σοφιαν κυριω προσθεμενοι	13 So do not say, 'We have found wisdom; our teaching is divine and not human.'
14 ανθρωπω δε επετρεψατε λαλησαι τοιαυτα ρηματα	14 I am not going to follow the same line of argument; my reply to Job wil be couched in different terms.
15 επτοηθησαν ουκ απεκριθησαν ετι επαλαιωσαν εξ αυτων λογους	15 They are nonplussed for an answer, words have failed them.
16 υπεμεινα ου γαρ ελαλησαν οτι εστησαν ουκ απεκριθησαν	16 I have been waiting. Since they do not speak, since they have given up the argument,
17 υπολαβων δε ελιους λεγει	17 now I shal have my say, my turn has come to say what I know.
18 παλιν λαλησω πληρης γαρ ειμι ρηματων ολεκει γαρ με το πνευμα της γαστρος	18 For I am ful of words and forced to speak by a spirit within me;
19 η δε γαστηρ μου ωσπερ ασκος γλευκους ζεων δεδεμενος η ωσπερ φυσητηρ χαλκεως ερρηγως	19 within me, it feels like new wine seeking a vent, bursting out of new wine-skins.
20 λαλησω ινα αναπαυσωμαι ανοιξας τα χειλη	20 To gain relief, I must speak, I must open my lips and reply.
21 ανθρωπον γαρ ου μη αισχυνθω αλλα μην ουδε βροτον ου μη εντραπω	21 I shall not take anyone's side, I shall not flatter anyone.
22 ου γαρ επισταμαι θαυμασαι προσωπον ει δε μη και εμε σητες εδονται	22 I do not know how to flatter -- or my Creator would make short work of me.
