1于是这三个人，因约伯自以为义就不再回答他。So these three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2那时有巴拉迦的儿子向约伯发怒；因约伯，不以 神为义。This kindled the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram. He burned with anger against Job for justifying himself rather than God,
3他又向约伯的三个朋友发怒；因为他们想不出回答的话来，仍以约伯为有罪。and he burned with anger against Job’s three friends because they had failed to refute Job, and yet had condemned him.
4以利户要与约伯说话，就等候他们，因为他们比自己年老。Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because the others were older than he.
5以利户见这三个人口中无话回答，就怒气发作。But when he saw that the three men had no further reply, his anger was kindled.
6布西人巴拉迦的儿子以利户回答说：我年轻，你们老迈；因此我退让，不敢向你们陈说我的意见。So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite declared: “I am young in years, while you are old; that is why I was timid and afraid to tell you what I know.
7我说，年老的当先说话；寿高的当以智慧教训人。I thought that age should speak, and many years should teach wisdom.
8但在人里面有灵；全能者的气使人有聪明。But there is a spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding.
9尊贵的不都有智慧；寿高的不都能明白公平。It is not only the old who are wise, or the elderly who understand justice.
10因此我说：你们要听我言；我也要陈说我的意见。Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me; I too will declare what I know.’
11你们查究所要说的话；那时我等候你们的话，侧耳听你们的辩论，Indeed, I waited while you spoke; I listened to your reasoning; as you searched for words,
12留心听你们；谁知你们中间无一人约伯，驳倒他的话。I paid you full attention. But no one proved Job wrong; not one of you rebutted his arguments.
13你们切不可说：我们寻得智慧； 神能胜他，人却不能。So do not claim, ‘We have found wisdom; let God, not man, refute him.’
14约伯没有向我争辩；我也不用你们的话回答他。But Job has not directed his words against me, and I will not answer him with your arguments.
15他们惊奇不再回答，一言不发。Job’s friends are dismayed, with no more to say; words have escaped them.
16我岂因他们不说话，站住不再回答，仍旧等候呢？Must I wait, now that they are silent, now that they stand and no longer reply?
17我也要回答我的一分话，陈说我的意见。I too will answer; yes, I will declare what I know.
18因为我的言语满怀；我里面的灵激动我。For I am full of words, and my spirit within me compels me.
19我的胸怀如盛酒之囊没有出气之缝，又如快要破裂。Behold, my belly is like unvented wine; it is about to burst like a new wineskin.
20我要说话，使我舒畅；我要开口回答。I must speak and find relief; I must open my lips and respond.
21我必不看人的情面，也不人。I will be partial to no one, nor will I flatter any man.
22我不晓得奉承；若奉承，造我的主必快快除灭我。For I do not know how to flatter, or my Maker would remove me in an instant.
