Job:Chapter 32

約伯傳	Job
¹因為約伯自以為義，那三個友人就不再回答他。	¹So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he seemed just to himself.
²那時，有個布次蘭族的人，他是巴辣革耳的兒子厄里烏，為了約伯在天主前自以為義人，便大為憤怒；	²And Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, was angry and was moved to indignation: now he was angry against Job, because he said he was just before God.
³同時也對約伯的三個友人大為震怒，因為他們找不到適當的答覆，又以天主為不公。	³And he was angry with his friends because they had not found a reasonable answer, but only had condemned Job.
⁴厄里烏先等他們同約伯講完話，因為他們都比他年老。	⁴So Eliu waited while Job was speaking, because they were his elders that were speaking.
⁵他一見他們三人無話可說，遂大為憤怒。	⁵But when he saw that the three were not able to answer, he was exceedingly angry.
⁶於是布次人巴辣革耳的兒子厄里烏發言說：我年齡小，你們年紀大，故此我退縮畏懼，不敢在你們前表示我的見解。	⁶Then Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said: I am younger in days, and you are more ancient; therefore hanging down my head, I was afraid to shew you my opinion.
⁷我心想：「老人應先發言，年高者應教人智慧。」	⁷For I hoped that greater age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom.
⁸但人本來都具有靈性，全能者的氣息賦與人聰明；	⁸But, as I see, there is a spirit in men, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth understanding.
⁹並不是年高者就有智慧，老人就通曉正義。	⁹They that are aged are not the wise men, neither do the ancients understand judgment.
¹⁰故此我請你們且聽我說，我也要表示我的見解。	¹⁰Therefore I will speak: Hearken to me, I also will shew you my wisdom.
¹¹直到如今，我等待你們講話，靜聽你們的理論，等待你們尋出適當的言詞；	¹¹For I have waited for your words, I have given ear to your wisdom, as long as you were disputing in words.
¹²但現今我已明白看出了，你們中沒一個能駁倒約伯，能回答他的話的。	¹²And as long as I thought you said some thing, I considered: but, as I see, there is none of you that can convince Job, and answer his words.
¹³你們不要說：「我們尋到了智慧！只有天主可說服他，人卻不能。」	¹³Lest you should say: We have found wisdom, God hath cast him down, not man.
¹⁴我決不那樣辯論，也決不以你們說的話答覆他。	¹⁴He hath spoken nothing to me, and I will not answer him according to your words.
¹⁵他們已心亂，不能再回答，且已窮於辭令。	¹⁵They were afraid, and answered no more, and they left off speaking.
¹⁶他們已不再講話了，他們已停止，不再答話了，我還等什麼？	¹⁶Therefore because I have waited, and they have not spoken: they stood, and answered no more:
¹⁷現在我要開始講我的一段話，表示出我的見解。	¹⁷I also will answer my part, and will shew my knowledge.
¹⁸因為我覺着充滿了要說的話，內心催迫着我。	¹⁸For I am full of matter to speak of, and the spirit of my bowels straiteneth me.
¹⁹看啊！我內心像尋覓出口的新酒，要將新酒囊爆裂。	¹⁹Behold, my belly is as new wine which wanteth vent, which bursteth the new vessels.
²⁰我一說出，必覺輕鬆，我定要開口發言。	²⁰I will speak and take breath a little: I will open my lips, and will answer.
²¹我決不顧情面，也決不奉承人。	²¹I will not accept the person of man, and I will not level God with man.
²²因為我不會奉承，不然，造我者必立即將我消滅。	²²For I know not how long I shall continue, and whether after a while my Maker may take me away.
