Job 32
1 So these three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
Awo abasajja abo abasatu ne balekeraawo okwogera ne Yobu, kubanga yali yeeraba nga mutuukirivu.
2 This kindled the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram. He burned with anger against Job for justifying himself rather than God,
Naye Eriku, mutabani wa Balakeri Omubuzi, ow’omu kika kya Laamu, n’anyiigira nnyo Yobu olw’okweraba ng’atalina musango, naye n’anenya Katonda.
3 and he burned with anger against Job’s three friends because they had failed to refute Job, and yet had condemned him.
Yanyiigira ne mikwano gye abasatu, kubanga baalemwa okulumiriza Yobu kyokka nga baali bamusingisizza omusango.
4 Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because the others were older than he.
Eriku yali alinzeeko okwogera ne Yobu kubanga banne baali bakulu okumusinga.
5 But when he saw that the three men had no further reply, his anger was kindled.
Naye bwe yalaba ng’abasajja bano abasatu tebakyalina kirala kya kwogera, n’anyiiga.
6 So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite declared: “I am young in years, while you are old; that is why I was timid and afraid to tell you what I know.
Awo Eriku mutabani wa Balakeri Omubuzi n’addamu n’ayogera nti, “Nze ndi muto mu myaka, mmwe muli bakulu, kyenavudde ntya okubabuulira kye ndowooza.
7 I thought that age should speak, and many years should teach wisdom.
Nalowoozezza nti, Emyaka gye gisaanye okwogera, n’emyaka emingi gye gisaanye okuyigiriza amagezi.
8 But there is a spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding.
Kyokka omwoyo oguli mu muntu, nga gwe mukka gw’oyo Ayinzabyonna, gwe guwa omuntu okutegeera.
9 It is not only the old who are wise, or the elderly who understand justice.
Abakadde si be bokka abalina amagezi, wadde abakulu bokka okuba nga be bategeera ekituufu.
10 Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me; I too will declare what I know.’
“Kyenva ŋŋamba nti, Mumpulirize, nange mbabuulire kye mmanyi.
11 Indeed, I waited while you spoke; I listened to your reasoning; as you searched for words,
Nassizzaayo omwoyo nga mwogera, nawulirizza ensonga ze mwawadde nga munoonya eby’okwogera.
12 I paid you full attention. But no one proved Job wrong; not one of you rebutted his arguments.
Nabawulirizza bulungi. Kyokka tewali n’omu ku mmwe yalaze Yobu bw’ali omukyamu; tewali n’omu ku mmwe eyayanukudde ebigambo bye.
13 So do not claim, ‘We have found wisdom; let God, not man, refute him.’
Mwegendereze temugamba nti, ‘Tusanze omuntu ow’amagezi; muleke Katonda amuwangule so si bantu.’
14 But Job has not directed his words against me, and I will not answer him with your arguments.
Kyokka Yobu ebigambo bye tabyolekezza nze, era sijja kumuddamu na bigambo byammwe.
15 Job’s friends are dismayed, with no more to say; words have escaped them.
“Basobeddwa, tebalina kya kwogera, ebigambo bibaweddeko.
16 Must I wait, now that they are silent, now that they stand and no longer reply?
Kaakano nsirike busirisi, nga bayimiridde buyimirizi, nga tebalina kye boogera?
17 I too will answer; yes, I will declare what I know.
Nange nnina eky’okwogera, era nnaayogera kye mmanyi,
18 For I am full of words, and my spirit within me compels me.
kubanga nzijjudde ebigambo, era omwoyo ogwange gumpaliriza okwogera.
19 Behold, my belly is like unvented wine; it is about to burst like a new wineskin.
Munda mu nze omutima guli nga wayini, asaanikiddwa mu ccupa, ng’amaliba amaggya agalindiridde okwabika.
20 I must speak and find relief; I must open my lips and respond.
Nteekwa okwogera, nsobole okufuna eddembe, nteekwa okwasamya akamwa kange mbeeko kye njogera.
21 I will be partial to no one, nor will I flatter any man.
Sijja kubaako gwe nkwatirwa nsonyi, era sijja na kuwaana muntu yenna.
22 For I do not know how to flatter, or my Maker would remove me in an instant.
Kubanga singa mpaaniriza, Omutonzi wange yandyanguye okunziggyawo.”
