¹فكف هؤلاء الرجال الثلاثة عن مجاوبة ايوب لكونه بارا في عيني نفسه

¹And these three men cease from answering Job, for he [is] righteous in his own eyes,

²فحمي غضب اليهو بن برخئيل البوزي من عشيرة رام. على ايوب حمي غضبه لانه حسب نفسه ابر من الله.

²and burn doth the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job hath his anger burned, because of his justifying himself more than God;

³وعلى اصحابه الثلاثة حمي غضبه لانهم لم يجدوا جوابا واستذنبوا ايوب.

³and against his three friends hath his anger burned, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job.

⁴وكان اليهو قد صبر على ايوب بالكلام لانهم اكثر منه اياما.

⁴And Elihu hath waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days.

⁵فلما رأى اليهو انه لا جواب في افواه الرجال الثلاثة حمي غضبه

⁵And Elihu seeth that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burneth.

⁶فاجاب اليهو بن برخئيل البوزي وقال انا صغير في الايام وانتم شيوخ. لاجل ذلك خفت وخشيت ان ابدي لكم رأيي.

⁶And Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answereth and saith: — Young I [am] in days, and ye [are] age Therefore I have feared, And am afraid of shewing you my opinion.

⁷قلت الايام تتكلم وكثرة السنين تظهر حكمة.

⁷I said: Days do speak, And multitude of years teach wisdom.

⁸ولكن في الناس روحا ونسمة القدير تعقلهم.

⁸Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Doth cause them to understand.

⁹ليس الكثيرو الايام حكماء ولا الشيوخ يفهمون الحق.

⁹The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.

¹⁰لذلك قلت اسمعوني انا ايضا ابدي رأيي.

¹⁰Therefore I have said: Hearken to me, I do shew my opinion — even I.

¹¹هانذا قد صبرت لكلامكم. اصغيت الى حججكم حتى فحصتم الاقوال.

¹¹Lo, I have waited for your words, I give ear unto your reasons, Till ye search out sayings.

¹²فتأملت فيكم واذ ليس من حجّ ايوب ولا جواب منكم لكلامه.

¹²And unto you I attend, And lo, there is no reasoner for Job, [Or] answerer of his sayings among you.

¹³فلا تقولوا قد وجدنا حكمة. الله يغلبه لا الانسان.

¹³Lest ye say, We have found wisdom, God doth thrust him away, not man.

¹⁴فانه لم يوجه اليّ كلامه ولا ارد عليه انا بكلامكم.

¹⁴And he hath not set in array words for me, And with your sayings I do not answer him.

¹⁵تحيروا. لم يجيبوا بعد. انتزع عنهم الكلام.

¹⁵(They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed from themselves words.

¹⁶فانتظرت لانهم لم يتكلموا لانهم وقفوا لم يجيبوا بعد.

¹⁶And I have waited, but they do not speak, For they have stood still, They have not answered any more.)

¹⁷فاجيب انا ايضا حصتي وابدي انا ايضا رأيي.

¹⁷I answer, even I — my share, I shew my opinion — even I.

¹⁸لاني ملآن اقوالا. روح باطني تضايقني.

¹⁸For I have been full of words, Distressed me hath the spirit of my breast,

¹⁹هوذا بطني كخمر لم تفتح كالزقاق الجديدة يكاد ينشق.

¹⁹Lo, my breast [is] as wine not opened, Like new bottles it is broken up.

²⁰اتكلم فافرج. افتح شفتيّ واجيب.

²⁰I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I open my lips and answer.

²¹لا احابينّ وجه رجل ولا أملث انسانا.

²¹Let me not, I pray you, accept the face of any, Nor unto man give flattering titles,

²²لاني لا اعرف الملث. لانه عن قليل يأخذني صانعي

²²For I have not known to give flattering titles, In a little doth my Maker take me away.
