< Job 32 >

1 Job ni amahoima tamikalan a kâti dawkvah, tami kathum touh ni Job pathung awh hoeh toe.
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he seemed just to himself.
2 Hottelah Barakel e capa Elihu, Buz tami Ram catoun Elihu teh pueng hoi a lungkhuek. Cathut hlak amahoima tamikalan a kâti dawkvah, Job koe a lungkhuek.
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.
3 Job e a hui kathum touh koehai a lungkhuek. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Job hah na payon atipouh eiteh, bout pathung nahane panuek awh hoeh.
And he was angry with his friends because they had not found a reasonable answer, but only had condemned Job.
4 Ahnimouh teh, ama hlak vah kacuehnawn lah ao. Elihu ni Job koevah lawk dei hanelah meng a ring.
So Eliu waited while Job was speaking, because they were his elders that were speaking.
5 Elihu ni hetnaw kathum touh e pahni dawk hoi pathung nahan awm hoeh tie hah a panue torei teh, a lung puenghoi a khuek.
But when he saw that the three were not able to answer, he was exceedingly angry.
6 Hottelah, Barakel e capa Elihu, Buz tami ni hettelah a pathung. Kai teh kum kanaw teh, nangmouh teh na kumcue poung awh toe. Hatdawkvah, na taki awh teh, ka pouknae hai ka dei ngam hoeh.
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.
7 Kum ni dei naseh, kum moikapap ni lungangnae cangkhai naseh ka ti.
For I hoped that greater age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom.
8 Hateiteh, tami e thung kaawm e muitha, Athakasaipounge kâha hah panuethainae kapoekung lah ao.
But, as I see, there is a spirit in men, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth understanding.
9 Tamikalannaw ni hoe lungangnae awm hoeh kum kacuenaw ni lannae hoe panuethainae awm hoeh.
They that are aged are not the wise men, neither do the ancients understand judgment.
10 Hatdawkvah, na thai pouh awh haw, kai ni hai ka pouknae ka pâpho han.
Therefore I will speak: Hearken to me, I also will shew you my wisdom.
11 Khenhaw! na lawknaw hah ka thai teh, dei hanelah ao telah na pouk lahun nah na panuesaknae hah ka panue toe.
For I have waited for your words, I have given ear to your wisdom, as long as you were disputing in words.
12 Kahawicalah na thai pouh haw lawk ka pathung thai e Job e a lung pan ka cai sak e, nangmouh thung dawk buet touh hai na awm awh hoeh maw.
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.
13 Lungangnae ka hmu toe, tami nahoeh niteh, Cathut ni ama teh a tâ han na tet awh payon vaih.
Lest you should say: We have found wisdom, God hath cast him down, not man.
14 A lawknaw ni rep na tâdue hoeh nangmae lawk patetlah ahni teh bout ka pathung mahoeh.
He hath spoken nothing to me, and I will not answer him according to your words.
15 A lung a pout awh teh, pathung awh hoeh toe, lawkkamuem ao awh toe.
They were afraid, and answered no more, and they left off speaking.
16 Lawk a dei awh hoeh toung dawkvah, ka ring rah, bangkongtetpawiteh, pathung toung laipalah duem a kangdue awh.
Therefore because I have waited, and they have not spoken: they stood, and answered no more:
17 Kai ni hai kama hane ka pathung van han, ka pouknae teh ka pâpho van han.
I also will answer my part, and will shew my knowledge.
18 Bangkongtetpawiteh, lawk hoi ka kawi teh, ka thung e muitha ni dei hoeh laipalah, na awm sak thai hoeh.
For I am full of matter to speak of, and the spirit of my bowels straiteneth me.
19 Ka thung lae hah misurtui tâconae kâko kaawm hoeh e patetlah ao. Misurtui um katha patetlah kâbawng hane coungkacoe ao toe.
Behold, my belly is as new wine which wanteth vent, which bursteth the new vessels.
20 Ka kâha a tâco thai nahanelah, lawk ka dei han, Ka pahni roeroe ka ang vaiteh ka pathung han.
I will speak and take breath a little: I will open my lips, and will answer.
21 Apipi nakunghai, kapeknae kamnue sak hoeh nahanlah tami bangpatet hai ka oup hoeh nahanlah ka ratoum.
I will not accept the person of man, and I will not level God with man.
22 Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami oupnae hah ka thoum hoeh, telah nahoeh pawiteh, kasakkung ni palang na lat payon vaih.
For I know not how long I shall continue, and whether after a while my Maker may take me away.
