Job 32 — Novel English Bible

1 So these shalawash (three) anashayam (men) shabath (shabath / rest) to inah (answer / respond) Ayawab (Job), because he was tzadayaq (righteous) in his own iyan (eye).

2 Then the ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting) of Alayahaw (Elihu) the ban (son) of Barakaal (Barachel), the bawazay (buzite), of the mashapachah (tribe / clan / family) of Ram (Ram), was charah (hot with anger) against Ayawab (Job). His ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting) was charah (hot with anger) because he justified himself rather than Alahayam ().

3 Also his ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting) was charah (hot with anger) against his shalawash (three) rai (neigbor/another person), because they matzaa (had) found no mainah (answer), and yet had rashai (condemned) Ayawab (Job).

4 Now Alayahaw (Elihu) had chakah (waited) to dabar (word / matter) to Ayawab (Job), because they were zaqan (elder) than he.

5 When Alayahaw (Elihu) raah (see / saw) that there was no mainah (answer) in the pah (mouth) of these shalawash (three) anashayam (men), his ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting) was charah (hot with anger).

6 Alayahaw (Elihu) the ban (son) of Barakaal (Barachel) the bawazay (buzite) inah (answer / respond), “I am tzaiyar (young), and you are very yashayash (old); Therefore I held back, and didn't dare chawah (show) you my dai (opinion).

7 I amar (said), ‘yamayam (days) should dabar (word / matter), and rab (multitude) of shanayam (two) should yadai (teach) chakamah (wisdom).’

8 But there is a rawach (spirit / wind) in anawash (man), and the nashamah (breathing thing) of the Shaday () gives them bayan (between).

9 It is not the rab (great) who are chakam (wise), nor the zaqan (aged) who bayan (between) mashapat (justice).

10 Therefore I amar (said), ‘shamai (hearken / hear) to me; I also will chawah (show) my dai (opinion).’

11 “Behold, I yachal (waited) for your dabar (word / matter), and I listened for your thabawan (reasoning), while you chaqar (searched) out what to malah (say).

12 Yes, I bayan (between) you my full attention, but there was no one who yakach (convinced) Ayawab (Job), or who inah (answer / respond) his amar (said), among you.

13 Beware lest you amar (said), ‘We matzaa (have) found chakamah (wisdom), Al may refute him, not ayash (man / husband);’

14 For he has not irak (directed) his malayan (words) against me; neither will I shawab (turn) him with your speeches.

15 “They are chathath (amazed). They inah (answer / respond) no more. They don't have a malah (word) to say.

16 Shall I yachal (wait), because they don't dabar (word / matter), because they imad (stand) still, and inah (answer / respond) no more?

17 I also will inah (answer / respond) my chalaq (part), and I also will chawah (show) my dai (opinion).

18 For I am malaa (full) of malayam (words). The rawach (spirit / wind) batan (within) me tzawaq (constrains) me.

19 Behold, my breast is as yayan (wine) which pathach (has) no vent; like chadash (new) wineskins it is baqai (ready) to burst.

20 I will dabar (word / matter), that I may be rawach (spirit / wind). I will pathach (open) my shapah (lips) and inah (answer / respond).

21 Please don't let me nashaa (lift) any ayash (man / husband) panayam (face), neither will I kanah (give) flattering titles to any adam (man).

22 For I don't yadai (know) how to kanah (give) flattering titles; or else my Maker would mait (soon) nashaa (lift) me away.
