32:1 Omiserunt autem tres viri isti respondere Job, eo quod justus sibi videretur.

32:1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he seemed just to himself.

32:2 Et iratus indignatusque est Eliu filius Barachel Buzites, de cognatione Ram : iratus est autem adversum Job, eo quod justum se esse diceret coram Deo.

32:2 And 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.

32:3 Porro adversum amicos ejus indignatus est, eo quod non invenissent responsionem rationabilem, sed tantummodo condemnassent Job.

32:3 And he was angry with his friends, because they had not found a reasonable answer, but only had condemned Job.

32:4 Igitur Eliu expectavit Job loquentem, eo quod seniores essent qui loquebantur.

32:4 So Eliu waited while Job was speaking because they were his elders that were speaking.

32:5 Cum autem vidisset quod tres respondere non potuissent, iratus est vehementer.

32:5 But when he saw that the three were not able to answer, he was exceedingly angry.

32:6 Respondensque Eliu filius Barachel Buzites, dixit : Junior sum tempore, vos autem antiquiores : idcirco, demisso capite, veritus sum vobis indicare meam sententiam.

32:6 Then 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.

32:7 Sperabam enim quod ætas prolixior loqueretur, et annorum multitudo doceret sapientiam.

32:7 For I hoped that greater age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom.

32:8 Sed, ut video, spiritus est in hominibus, et inspiratio Omnipotentis dat intelligentiam.

32:8 But, as I see, there is a spirit in men, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth understanding.

32:9 Non sunt longævi sapientes, nec senes intelligunt judicium.

32:9 They that are aged are not the wise men, neither do the ancients understand judgment.

32:10 Ideo dicam : Audite me : ostendam vobis etiam ego meam sapientiam.

32:10 Therefore I will speak: Hearken to me, I also will shew you my wisdom.

32:11 Expectavi enim sermones vestros ; audivi prudentiam vestram, donec disceptaremini sermonibus ;

32:11 For I have waited for your words, I have given ear to your wisdom, as long as you were disputing in words.

32:12 et donec putabam vos aliquid dicere, considerabam : sed, ut video, non est qui possit arguere Job, et respondere ex vobis sermonibus ejus.

32:12 And 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.

32:13 Ne forte dicatis : Invenimus sapientiam : Deus projecit eum, non homo.

32:13 Lest you should say: We have found wisdom, God hath cast him down, not man.

32:14 Nihil locutus est mihi : et ego non secundum sermones vestros respondebo illi.

32:14 He hath spoken nothing to me, and I will not answer him according to your words.

32:15 Extimuerunt, nec responderunt ultra, abstuleruntque a se eloquia.

32:15 They were afraid, and answered no more, and they left off speaking.

32:16 Quoniam igitur expectavi, et non sunt locuti : steterunt, nec ultra responderunt :

32:16 Therefore because I have waited, and they have not spoken: they stood, and answered no more:

32:17 respondebo et ego partem meam, et ostendam scientiam meam.

32:17 I also will answer my part, and will shew my knowledge.

32:18 Plenus sum enim sermonibus, et coarctat me spiritus uteri mei.

32:18 For I am full of matter to speak of, and the spirit of my bowels straiteneth me.

32:19 En venter meus quasi mustum absque spiraculo, quod lagunculas novas disrumpit.

32:19 Behold, my belly is as new wine which wanteth vent, which bursteth the new vessels.

32:20 Loquar, et respirabo paululum : aperiam labia mea, et respondebo.

32:20 I will speak and take breath a little: I will open my lips, and will answer.

32:21 Non accipiam personam viri, et Deum homini non æquabo.

32:21 I will not accept the person of man, and I will not level God with man.

32:22 Nescio enim quamdiu subsistam, et si post modicum tollat me factor meus.

32:22 For I know not how long I shall continue, and whether after a while my Maker may take me away.
