| 1 ἡσύχασαν δὲ καὶ οἱ τρεῖς φίλοι αὐτοῦ ἔτι ἀντειπεῖν Ιωβ ἦν γὰρ Ιωβ δίκαιος ἐναντίον αὐτῶν 2 ὠργίσθη δὲ Ελιους ὁ τοῦ Βαραχιηλ ὁ Βουζίτης ἐκ τῆς συγγενείας Ραμ τῆς Αυσίτιδος χώρας ὠργίσθη δὲ τῷ Ιωβ σφόδρα διότι ἀπέφηνεν ἑαυτὸν δίκαιον ἐναντίον κυρίου 3 καὶ κατὰ τῶν τριῶν δὲ φίλων ὠργίσθη σφόδρα διότι οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν ἀποκριθῆναι ἀντίθετα Ιωβ καὶ ἔθεντο αὐτὸν εἶναι ἀσεβῆ 4 Ελιους δὲ ὑπέμεινεν δοῦναι ἀπόκρισιν Ιωβ ὅτι πρεσβύτεροι αὐτοῦ εἰσιν ἡμέραις 5 καὶ εἶδεν Ελιους ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀπόκρισις ἐν στόματι τῶν τριῶν ἀνδρῶν καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργὴ αὐτοῦ | 1 So they answered Job no more, those others, a man persuaded of his own inno-cence. 2 But there was one who stood by in anger and thought scorn of them, Eliu the Buzite, son of Barachel, of Ram’s kindred. Angry he was with Job, for claiming that God did him an injury, 3 and thought scorn of those friends of his, that could find no reasonable answer, but were content to find Job a guilty man. 4 Eliu, then, waited till Job had finished speaking; was he not younger than the rest? 5 But when he found that the other three had no answer to give, he could contain himself no longer. | 1 Omiserunt autem tres viri isti respondere Job, eo quod justus sibi videretur. 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. 3 Porro adversum amicos ejus indignatus est, eo quod non invenissent responsionem rationabilem, sed tantummodo condemnassent Job. 4 Igitur Eliu expectavit Job loquentem, eo quod seniores essent qui loquebantur. 5 Cum autem vidisset quod tres respondere non potuissent, iratus est vehementer. |
| 6 ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ελιους ὁ τοῦ Βαραχιηλ ὁ Βουζίτης εἶπεν νεώτερος μέν εἰμι τῷ χρόνῳ ὑμεῖς δέ ἐστε πρεσβύτεροι διὸ ἡσύχασα φοβηθεὶς τοῦ ὑμῖν ἀναγγεῖλαι τὴν ἐμαυτοῦ ἐπιστήμην 7 εἶπα δὲ ὅτι ὁ χρόνος ἐστὶν ὁ λαλῶν ἐν πολλοῖς δὲ ἔτεσιν οἴδασιν σοφίαν 8 ἀλλὰ πνεῦμά ἐστιν ἐν βροτοῖς πνοὴ δὲ παντοκράτορός ἐστιν ἡ διδάσκουσα 9 οὐχ οἱ πολυχρόνιοί εἰσιν σοφοί οὐ{D'} οἱ γέροντες οἴδασιν κρίμα 10 διὸ εἶπα ἀκούσατέ μου καὶ ἀναγγελῶ ὑμῖν ἃ οἶδα 11 ἐνωτίζεσθέ μου τὰ ῥήματα ἐρῶ γὰρ ὑμῶν ἀκουόντων ἄχρι οὗ ἐτάσητε λόγους 12 καὶ μέχρι ὑμῶν συνήσω καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἦν τῷ Ιωβ ἐλέγχων ἀνταποκρινόμενος ῥήματα αὐτοῦ ἐξ ὑμῶν 13 ἵνα μὴ εἴπητε εὕρομεν σοφίαν κυρίῳ προσθέμενοι 14 ἀνθρώπῳ δὲ ἐπετρέψατε λαλῆσαι τοιαῦτα ῥήματα | 6 Thus, then, spoke Eliu the Buzite, son of Barachel: Late in time was I born, and you are older men than I; with bowed head I kept my own counsel, 7 ready to listen, while old age spoke, and learn from you the garnered wisdom of years. 8 But I see now that man speaks by inspiration; only the breath of the most High can grant discernment; 9 long life does not make men wise, it is not always the aged that give true award. 10 So it is that I would fain have you listen while I make known my thought to you. 11 I have waited long on your words, heard you out, while you searched about for reasons, 12 attentive enough, while I still hoped to hear the truth from you; but no, not one of you has convinced Job, or answered his riddle. 13 Do not flatter yourselves that you have tracked down the truth; God must put him down, not man.[1] 14 Not against me has he drawn up these pleadings of his; not with your shiftless answers will I meet him. | 6 Respondensque Eliu filius Barachel Buzites, dixit: Junior sum tempore, vos autem antiquiores: idcirco, demisso capite, veritus sum vobis indicare meam sententiam. Sperabam enim quod ætas prolixior loqueretur, et annorum multitudo doceret sapientiam. Sed, ut video, spiritus est in hominibus, et inspiratio Omnipotentis dat intelligentiam. Non sunt longævi sapientes, nec senes intelligunt judicium. Ideo dicam: Audite me: ostendam vobis etiam ego meam sapientiam. Expectavi enim sermones vestros; audivi prudentiam vestram, donec disceptaremini sermonibus; et donec putabam vos aliquid dicere, considerabam: sed, ut video, non est qui possit arguere Job, et respondere ex vobis sermonibus ejus. Ne forte dicatis: Invenimus sapientiam: Deus projecit eum, non homo. Nihil locutus est mihi: et ego non secundum sermones vestros respondebo illi. |
| 15 ἐπτοήθησαν οὐκ ἀπεκρίθησαν ἔτι ἐπαλαίωσαν ἐξ αὐτῶν λόγους 16 ὑπέμεινα οὐ γὰρ ἐλάλησαν ὅτι ἔστησαν οὐκ ἀπεκρίθησαν 17 ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ελιους λέγει 18 πάλιν λαλήσω πλήρης γάρ εἰμι ῥημάτων ὀλέκει γάρ με τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς γαστρός 19 ἡ δὲ γαστήρ μου ὥσπερ ἀσκὸς γλεύκους ζέων δεδεμένος ἢ ὥσπερ φυσητὴρ χαλκέως ἐρρηγώς 20 λαλήσω ἵνα ἀναπαύσωμαι ἀνοίξας τὰ χείλη 21 ἄνθρωπον γὰρ οὐ μὴ αἰσχυνθῶ ἀλλὰ μὴν οὐδὲ βροτὸν οὐ μὴ ἐντραπῶ 22 οὐ γὰρ ἐπίσταμαι θαυμάσαι πρόσωπον εἰ δὲ μή καὶ ἐμὲ σῆτες ἔδονται | 15 What, all abashed, these wise men, no answer ready, the words driven from their lips? 16 I have had enough of waiting for them to speak, and seeing them stand dumb; 17 I will take my turn at pleading, tell out my thoughts. 18 I am full of matter, in labour with ripe utterance; 19 fresh wine that has no vent will burst even a new wine-skin. 20 Speak I must, if I would get relief, unburden my lips of their answer. 21 Human respect shall not daunt me; how should I match man with God?[2] 22 Uncertain my span of days; what if he should call me suddenly to account, he, my Creator? | 15 Extimuerunt, nec responderunt ultra, abstuleruntque a se eloquia. Quoniam igitur expectavi, et non sunt locuti: steterunt, nec ultra responderunt: respondebo et ego partem meam, et ostendam scientiam meam. Plenus sum enim sermonibus, et coarctat me spiritus uteri mei. En venter meus quasi mustum absque spiraculo, quod lagunculas novas disrumpit. Loquar, et respirabo paululum: aperiam labia mea, et respondebo. Non accipiam personam viri, et Deum homini non æquabo. Nescio enim quamdiu subsistam, et si post modicum tollat me factor meus. |
[1] Literally, ‘Lest perhaps you should say, We have found wisdom; God not man, has cast him away’. It is not clear whether the wisdom is that of Job or his friends, nor whether the second half of the verse is part of their supposed utterance.
[2] According to the Hebrew text, ‘I cannot give flattering titles to men’, a phrase which is repeated in the next verse, where the Latin has ‘I do not know how long I shall last’.
