Eliu a young man being angry that Job persisted in his opinion, and that his three friends could not convince him, 8. taketh upon him to confute Job which they could not do.Eliu a young man being angrie that Iob persisted in his opinion, and that his three freindes could not conuince him, 8. taketh vpon him to confute Iob which they could not do.✦
But these three men omitted to answer Job, for that he seemed just to himself.BVt these three men omitted to answer Iob, for that he seemed iust to himself.Omiserunt autem tres viri isti respondere Job, eo quod justus sibi videretur.
2And Eliu the son of Barachel a Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, was angry and took indignation: and he was angry against Job, for that he said himself to be just before God.And Eliu the sonne of Barachel a Buzite, of the kinred of Ram, was angrie and tooke indignation: and he was angrie against Iob, for that he sayd himself to be iust before God.✦Et iratus indignatusque est Eliu filius Barachel Buzites, de cognatione Ram : iratus est autem adversum Job, eo quod justum se esse diceret coram Deo.
3Moreover against his friends he had indignation, for that they had not found a reasonable answer, but only had condemned Job.Moreouer against his freindes he had indignation, for that they had not found a reasonable answer, but onlie had condemned Iob.Porro adversum amicos ejus indignatus est, eo quod non invenissent responsionem rationabilem, sed tantummodo condemnassent Job.
4Therefore Eliu expectavit: waited for Job speaking, because they were his elders that spake.Therfore Eliu expected Iob speaking, because they were his elders that spake.✦Igitur Eliu expectavit Job loquentem, eo quod seniores essent qui loquebantur.
5But when he saw that the three were not able to answer, he was wrath exceedingly.But when he saw that the three were not able to answer, he was wrath excedingly.Cum autem vidisset quod tres respondere non potuissent, iratus est vehementer.
6And Eliu the son of Barachel a Buzite answering, said: I am younger in time, and you more ancient, therefore casting down my head, I was afraid to shew you my sententiam: opinion, judgement.And Eliu the sonne of Barachel a Buzite answering, sayd: I am yonger in time, and you more ancient, therfore casting downe my head, I was afrayd to shewe yon my sentence.✦Respondensque Eliu filius Barachel Buzites, dixit : Junior sum tempore, vos autem antiquiores : idcirco, demisso capite, veritus sum vobis indicare meam sententiam.
7For I hoped that longer age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom.For I hoped that longer age would speake, and that a multitnde of yeares would teach wisdom.Sperabam enim quod ætas prolixior loqueretur, et annorum multitudo doceret sapientiam.
8But as I see, there is a Spirit in men, and the inspiration of the Omnipotent giveth understanding.But as I see, there is a Spirite in men, and the inspiration of the Omnipotent geueth vnderstanding.✦Sed, ut video, spiritus est in hominibus, et inspiratio Omnipotentis dat intelligentiam.
9They of many years are not the wise men, neither do the ancients understand judgement.They of many yeares are not the wise men, neither doe the ancientes vnderstand iudgement.✦Non sunt longævi sapientes, nec senes intelligunt judicium.
10Therefore will I speak: Hear ye me, I also will shew you my wisdom.Therfore wil I speake: Heare ye me, I also wil shew you my wisedom.Ideo dicam : Audite me : ostendam vobis etiam ego meam sapientiam.
11For I have expected your words, I have heard your wisdom, as long as you contended in words.For I haue expected your wordes, I haue heard your wisdom, as long as you contended in wordes.Expectavi enim sermones vestros ; audivi prudentiam vestram, donec disceptaremini sermonibus ;
12And as long as I thought you said somewhat, I considered: but as I see, here is none of you that can reprove Job, and answer to his words.And as long as I thought you said somewhat, I considered: but as I see, here is none of you that can reproue Iob, and answer to his wordes.✦et donec putabam vos aliquid dicere, considerabam : sed, ut video, non est qui possit arguere Job, et respondere ex vobis sermonibus ejus.
13Lest perhaps you may say: We have found wisdom, God hath rejected him, not man.Lest perhaps you may say: We haue found wisedom, God hath reiected him, not man.Ne forte dicatis : Invenimus sapientiam : Deus projecit eum, non homo.
14He hath spoken nothing to me, and I will not answer him according to your words.He hath spoken nothing to me, and I wil not answer him according to your wordes.✦Nihil locutus est mihi : et ego non secundum sermones vestros respondebo illi.
15They were afraid, and answered no more, and they have taken away talk from themselves.They were afrayd, and answered no more, & they haue taken away talke from themselues.✦Extimuerunt, nec responderunt ultra, abstuleruntque a se eloquia.
16Therefore because I have expected, and they spake not: they stood, and answered no more:Therfore because I haue expected, and they spake not: they stoode, & answered no more:✦Quoniam igitur expectavi, et non sunt locuti : steterunt, nec ultra responderunt :
17I also will answer my part, and will shew my knowledge.I also wil answer my part, and wil shew my knowledge.✦respondebo et ego partem meam, et ostendam scientiam meam.
18For I am full of words, and the spirit of my belly straineth me.For I am ful of wordes, and the spirit of my bellie streyneth me.Plenus sum enim sermonibus, et coarctat me spiritus uteri mei.
19Behold, my belly is as new wine without a vent, which breaketh new vessels.Behold, my bellie is as new wine without a vent, which breaketh new vessels.En venter meus quasi mustum absque spiraculo, quod lagunculas novas disrumpit.
20I will speak, and take breath a little: I will open my lips, and will answer.I wil speake, and take breath a litle: I wil open my lippes, and wil answer.Loquar, et respirabo paululum : aperiam labia mea, et respondebo.
21I will not accept the person of a man, and I will not make God equal to man.I wil not accept the person of a man, and I wil not make God equal to man.✦Non accipiam personam viri, et Deum homini non æquabo.
22For I know not how long I shall continue, and whether after a while my maker will take me away.For I know not how long I shal continewe, and whether after a while my maker wil take me away.Nescio enim quamdiu subsistam, et si post modicum tollat me factor meus.
