Job 32

NEW JERUSALEM	Peshitta
1 These three men stopped arguing with Job, because he was convinced of his uprightness.	1 ܘܫܠܝܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܬܠܬܐ ܓܒܪ̈ܝܢ ܕܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܚܝܒܘܬܗ ܠܐܝܘܒ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܘ ܗܘܐ ܙܕܝܩ ܒܥܝܢ̈ܝܗܘܢ
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 ܘܐܬܚܡܬ ܐܠܝܗܘ ܒܪ ܒܪܟܝܐܝܠ ܒܘܙܝܐ ܡܢ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܕܪܡܘ ܐܬܚܡܬ ܪܘܓܙܗ ܥܠ ܐܝܘܒ ܥܠ ܕܙܕܩ ܢܦܫܗ ܛܒ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ
3 and he was equal y angry with the three friends for giving up the argument and thus putting God in thewrong.	3 ܘܐܬܚܡܬ ܥܠ ܬܠܬܐ ܚܒܪ̈ܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܕܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܕܢܬܠܘܢ ܠܗ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܠܐܝܘܒ ܘܢܚܝܒܘܢܗ
4 While they and Job were talking, Elihu had waited, because they were older than he was;	4 ܘܐܠܝܗܘ ܡܟܘܢ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܠܐܝܘܒ ܒܡ̈ܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܣܐ̈ܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܒܝ̈ܘܡܬܐ
5 but when he saw that the three men had not another word to say in answer, his anger burst out.	5 ܘܚܙܐ ܐܠܝܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܕܢܬܠܘܢ ܠܗ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܬܠܬܐ ܓܒܪ̈ܝܢ ܘܐܬܚܡܬ ܪܘܓܙܗ
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 ܘܥܢܐ ܐܠܝܗܘ ܒܪ ܒܪܟܝܐܝܠ ܒܘܙܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܨܝܪ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܒܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܩܫܝ̈ܫܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܕܚܠܬ ܘܙܥܬ ܠܡܚܘܝܘܬܟܘܢ ܝܕܥܬܝ
7 I thought, 'Age ought to speak, advancing years wil convey wisdom.'	7 ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܡܪܬ ܕܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܗܘ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܘܣܘܓܐܐ ܕܫ̈ܢܝܐ ܡ̈ܠܦܢ ܚܟܡܬܐ
8 There is, you see, a spirit residing in humanity, the breath of God conferring intelligence.	8 ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܐܝܬ ܒܒܪܢܫܐ ܘܢܫܡܬܗ ܗܘ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܒܝܢܐ ܠܗܘܢ
9 Great age does not give wisdom, nor seniority fair judgement.	9 ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܣܘܓܐܐ ܕܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܡܚܟܡܝܢ ܘܐܦ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܣܒ̈ܐ ܡܬܒܝܢܝܢ ܕܝܢܐ
10 And so I ask you for a hearing; now it is my turn to tel what I know.	10 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܐܢܐ ܫܘܡܥܘܢܝ ܘܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܐܚܘܝܟܘܢ ܝܕܥܬܝ
11 Up to now, I was hanging on your words, I paid attention to your arguments as each of you chose hiswords.	11 ܗܐ ܫܬܩܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܡ̈ܠܝܟܘܢ ܘܨܬܬ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܛܠܩܬܘܢ ܘܒܨܝܬܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܒܡ̈ܠܐ
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 ܘܒܣ̈ܗܕܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܬܒܝܢܬ ܘܗܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܐܝܘܒ ܡܟܣܢܐ ܘܕܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܦܬܓܡܐ
13 So do not say, 'We have found wisdom; our teaching is divine and not human.'	13 ܕܐܡܪ̈ܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܫܟܚܢ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܡܚܝܗܝ ܘܠܐ ܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ
14 I am not going to follow the same line of argument; my reply to Job wil be couched in different terms.	14 ܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܡ̈ܠܐ ܘܒܡ̈ܠܝܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܬܪܡܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ
15 They are nonplussed for an answer, words have failed them.	15 ܫܬܩܘ ܘܬܘܒ ܠܐ ܥܢܐܘܗܝ ܐܦܪܩܘ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܐ ܘܫܬܩܘ
16 I have been waiting. Since they do not speak, since they have given up the argument,	16 ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܡܛܘܠ ܕܩܡܘ ܘܬܘܒ ܠܐ ܥܢܐܘܗܝ
17 now I shal have my say, my turn has come to say what I know.	17 ܐܥܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܡܠܬܝ ܘܐܚܘܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܝܕܥܬܝ
18 For I am ful of words and forced to speak by a spirit within me;	18 ܡܛܠ ܕܐܬܡܠܝܬ ܡ̈ܠܐ ܘܐܬܢܣܟܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܒܟܪܣܝ
19 within me, it feels like new wine seeking a vent, bursting out of new wine-skins.	19 ܗܐ ܟܪܣܝ ܟܝܒܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܦܬܚܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܐܒܐ ܒܝܪܚܐ ܡܬܦܪܬܐ
20 To gain relief, I must speak, I must open my lips and reply.	20 ܐܡܠܠ ܘܢܪܘܚ ܠܝ ܐܦܬܚ ܣ̈ܦܘܬܝ ܘܐܬܠ ܦܬܓܡܐ
21 I shall not take anyone's side, I shall not flatter anyone.	21 ܠܐ ܐܣܒ ܒܐ̈ܦܝ ܐܢܫ ܘܡܢ ܐ̈ܦܝ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܐܒܗܬ
22 I do not know how to flatter -- or my Creator would make short work of me.	22 ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܝ̇ܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܒܗܬܬܐ ܘܥܕ ܩܠܝܠ ܫ̇ܩܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܥܘܫܢܝ
