1Kaj tiuj tri viroj cxesis respondi al Ijob, cxar li opiniis sin prava.
1So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2Tiam ekflamis la kolero de Elihu, filo de Barahxel, Buzano, el la familio de Ram. Kontraux Ijob ekflamis lia kolero pro tio, ke li opiniis sin pli prava ol Dio;
2Then the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was kindled against Job. His wrath was kindled because he justified himself rather than God.
3kaj kontraux liaj tri amikoj ekflamis lia kolero pro tio, ke ili ne trovis respondon kaj akuzis Ijobon.
3Also his wrath was kindled against his three friends, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
4Elihu atendis, dum ili parolis kun Ijob, cxar ili estis pli agxaj ol li.
4Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job, because they were elder than he.
5Sed kiam Elihu vidis, ke ne trovigxas respondo en la busxo de la tri viroj, ekflamis lia kolero.
5When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
6Kaj ekparolis Elihu, filo de Barahxel, la Buzano, kaj diris: Mi estas juna, kaj vi estas maljunuloj; Tial mi hezitis kaj timis eldiri al vi mian opinion.
6Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered, “I am young, and you are very old; Therefore I held back, and didn’t dare show you my opinion.
7Mi pensis:La agxo parolu, Kaj la jarmulto montru sagxon.
7I said, ‘Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.’
8Sed la spirito en la homoj kaj la spiro de la Plejpotenculo Donas al ili prudenton.
8But there is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.
9Ne la grandaj estas la plej prudentaj, Kaj ne la maljunuloj sole scias jugxi,
9It is not the great who are wise, nor the aged who understand justice.
10Tial mi diras:Auxskultu min; Mi ankaux eldiros mian opinion.
10Therefore I said, ‘Listen to me; I also will show my opinion.’
11Jen mi atendis viajn vortojn, Mi atentis vian kompetentecon, GXis vi trovos la gxustan parolon.
11“Behold, I waited for your words, and I listened for your reasoning, while you searched out what to say.
12Sed atentante vin, mi vidis, Ke neniu el vi donas al Ijob moralinstruon, Respondante al liaj paroloj.
12Yes, I gave you my full attention, but there was no one who convinced Job, or who answered his words, among you.
13Ne diru:Ni trovis la sagxon. Dio instruu lin, ne homo.
13Beware lest you say, ‘We have found wisdom, God may refute him, not man;’
14Li ne direktis al mi siajn vortojn, Kaj per viaj diroj mi ne respondos al li.
14for he has not directed his words against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches.
15Ili perdis la kuragxon, ili ne plu respondis; Mankas al ili vortoj.
15“They are amazed. They answer no more. They don’t have a word to say.
16Mi atendis, gxis ili cxesos paroli; Sed cxar ili haltis kaj ne plu respondis,
16Shall I wait, because they don’t speak, because they stand still, and answer no more?
17Tial ankaux mi de mia flanko respondos, Mi ankaux eldiros mian opinion.
17I also will answer my part, and I also will show my opinion.
18CXar mi estas plena de vortoj; La spirito de mia interno min premas.
18For I am full of words. The spirit within me constrains me.
19Mia interno estas kiel vino sxtopfermita, Kiu krevigas novan felsakon.
19Behold, my breast is as wine which has no vent; like new wineskins it is ready to burst.
20Mi ekparolos, kaj tiam farigxos al mi pli facile; Mi malfermos mian busxon, kaj mi respondos.
20I will speak, that I may be refreshed. I will open my lips and answer.
21Mi ne atentos la vizagxon de persono, Kaj mi ne flatos al homo;
21Please don’t let me respect any man’s person, neither will I give flattering titles to any man.
22CXar mi ne povoscias flati; Aliokaze pereigu min mia Kreinto.
22For I don’t know how to give flattering titles; or else my Maker would soon take me away.
