Job 32
1 Job loe angmah hoi angmah to katoeng kami ah poek pongah, to kami thumtonawk mah Job ih lok to pathim pae o ai boeh.
So these three men stopped answering Job because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2 To naah Ram imthung takoh kami ah kaom, Buz acaeng Barakel capa Elihu loe palungphui; angmah hoi angmah Sithaw pong katoeng kue ah poek pongah, Job nuiah palungphui.
Then was kindled the anger of Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite, of the family of Ram; it was kindled against Job because he justified himself rather than God.
3 Job ih lok to pathim o thai ai pongah, angmah ih ampui thumto nuiah doeh palungphui moe, Job doeh zaehaih a net.
Elihu's anger was also kindled against his three friends because they had found no answer to Job, and yet they had condemned Job.
4 Elihu loe nihcae pongah saning nawk kue pongah, Job lokthuih boeng ai karoek to a zing.
Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because the other men were older than he.
5 To kami thumtonawk loe lokthuih han tawn o ai boeh, tiah Elihu mah panoek naah, paroeai palungphui.
However, when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouths of these three men, his anger was kindled.
6 To pongah Barakel capa Buz acaeng Elihu mah, Kai loe saning ka nawk vop, nangcae loe saning na coeh o boeh; to pongah kang zit o moe, ka poekhaih kang thui o ai.
Then Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite spoke up and said, “I am young, and you are very old. That is why I held back and did not dare to tell you my own opinion.
7 Kai mah loe, Saning coeh kami mah lok to thuih moe, saning sawkah khosah kami mah palunghahaih patuk han oh, tiah ka poek.
I said, “Length of days should speak; a multitude of years should teach wisdom.
8 Toe kami thungah muithla oh; Thacak Sithaw ih takhi mah anih to panoekhaih paek.
But there is a spirit in a man; the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.
9 Saning coeh kaminawk khue palungha ai, katoeng hmuen loe saning coeh kaminawk khue mah ni panoek tito na ai ni.
It is not only the great people who are wise, nor the aged people alone who understand justice.
10 To pongah ka lok hae tahngai oh; ka poekhaih kang thuih o toeng han.
Therefore I say to you, 'Listen to me; I will also tell you my knowledge.'
11 Khenah, na thuih o ih loknawk to ka zing; lokthuih han na poek o moe, na thuih o ih lok to kang tahngaih pae o.
See, I waited for your words; I listened to your arguments while you were thinking about what to say.
12 Ue, nangcae ih lok to ka tahngaih; khenah, mi mah doeh Job na pazawk o ai; a lok to mi mah doeh na pathim o thai ai;
Indeed, I paid attention to you, but, see, there was not one of you who could convince Job or who could respond to his words.
13 to pongah palunghahaih ka hnuk o boeh, tiah thui o moeng hmah; Job pahnaemkung loe, kami na ai, Sithaw ni.
Be careful not to say, 'We have found wisdom!' God will have to defeat Job; mere man cannot do it.
14 Job mah ka lok hae aek ai, na thuih o ih lok baktiah, anih ih lok to ka pathim mak ai.
For Job has not directed his words against me, so I will not answer him with your words.
15 Nihcae loe dawnrai o, lokthuih han tawn o ai pongah lok apae ai ah oh o duem.
These three men are dumbfounded; they can answer Job no longer; they have not a word more to say.
16 Ka zing naah, nihcae lok apae o ai, lok pathim ai ah, oh o duem;
Should I wait because they are not speaking, because they stand there silent and answer no more?
17 to pongah kaimah han lok ka thuih moe, ka poekhaih doeh kam tuengsak han, tiah ka thuih.
No, I also will answer on my part; I will also tell them my knowledge.
18 Kai thungah kaom muithla mah ang pahruek pongah, thuih han lok zetpui ka tawnh.
For I am full of words; the spirit in me compels me.
19 Khenah, ka zok loe tacawthaih akhaw om ai misurtui baktih, kakoi tom moihin tabu kangtha baktiah oh.
See, my breast is like fermenting wine that has no vent; like new wineskins, it is ready to burst.
20 Ngantuihaih ka hnuk hanah, lok ka thuih han; pahni ka angh moe, lok ka pathim han.
I will speak so that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer.
21 Mi kawbaktih mikhmai doeh ka khen mak ai, mi doeh ka pakoeh mak ai.
I will not show favoritism; neither will I give honorific titles to any man.
22 Minawk pakoehhaih lok thuih hanah ka panoek ai; to tiah ka thuih nahaeloe, kai sahkung Sithaw mah kai hae amrosak ving tih.
For I do not know how to give such titles; if I did so, my Maker would soon take me away.
