Job 32
1 So these three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
Heoi mutu ake te whakahoki kupu a enei tangata tokotoru ki a Hopa, no te mea he tika ia ki tona nei whakaaro.
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,
Na kua mura te riri o Erihu tama a Parakere Puti, no te whanau i a Rame: mura ana tona riri ki a Hopa, no te mea ki tana tika rawa ia i te Atua.
3 and he burned with anger against Job’s three friends because they had failed to refute Job, and yet had condemned him.
I mura ano tona riri ki ona hoa tokotoru, no te mea kihai i kitea e ratou he kupu hei whakahokinga atu, heoi kei te whakahe ano ratou i a Hopa.
4 Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because the others were older than he.
Na i tatari a Erihu kia korero ia ki a Hopa, no te mea he kaumatua ake ratou i a ia.
5 But when he saw that the three men had no further reply, his anger was kindled.
A, no te kitenga o Erihu kahore he kupu i nga mangai o aua tangata tokotoru hei whakahokinga atu, mura ana tona riri.
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.
Na ka oho a Erihu tama a Parakere Puti, ka mea, He taitamariki ahau, ko koutou ia he koroheke rawa; koia ahau i hopohopo ai, i wehi ai ki te whakaatu i toku whakaaro ki a koutou.
7 I thought that age should speak, and many years should teach wisdom.
I mea ahau, Ma nga ra te korero, ma nga tau kua maha e whakaatu te whakaaro nui.
8 But there is a spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding.
Otiia he wairua ano to te tangata, na te manawa ano o te Kaha Rawa ratou i whai mahara ai.
9 It is not only the old who are wise, or the elderly who understand justice.
Ko nga tangata nunui, kahore o ratou whakaaro nui, ko nga kaumatua, kahore e matau ki te whakawa.
10 Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me; I too will declare what I know.’
Koia ahau i mea ai, Whakarongo ki ahau; ka whakakite hoki ahau i toku whakaaro.
11 Indeed, I waited while you spoke; I listened to your reasoning; as you searched for words,
Nana, i tatari ahau ki a koutou kupu; i whai taringa atu ki o koutou whakaaro mohio i a koutou e rapu kupu ana.
12 I paid you full attention. But no one proved Job wrong; not one of you rebutted his arguments.
Nana, mahara tonu atu ahau ki a koutou, a kihai tetahi o koutou i whakaatu i te he o Hopa, i whakahoki kupu ranei ki ana korero.
13 So do not claim, ‘We have found wisdom; let God, not man, refute him.’
Kei mea koutou, Kua kitea e matou te mohio, na te Atua ia i turaki, ehara i te tangata.
14 But Job has not directed his words against me, and I will not answer him with your arguments.
Na kihai ana kupu i anga mai ki ahau; e kore ano tana e utua e ahau ki a koutou kupu.
15 Job’s friends are dismayed, with no more to say; words have escaped them.
Porahurahu kau ana ratou, kore ake a ratou kupu whakahoki: mutu ake a ratou korero.
16 Must I wait, now that they are silent, now that they stand and no longer reply?
Kia tatari ahau, no te mea kahore ratou e korero, no te mea e tu kau ana ratou, kahore e whakahoki atu?
17 I too will answer; yes, I will declare what I know.
Me korero atu hoki e ahau aku kupu, maku ano e whakaatu toku whakaaro.
18 For I am full of words, and my spirit within me compels me.
Ki tonu hoki ahau i te korero; e akiakina ana ahau e te wairua i roto i ahau.
19 Behold, my belly is like unvented wine; it is about to burst like a new wineskin.
Nana, ko toku kopu rite tonu ki te waina kahore nei ona putanga; ki te ipu hou e tata ana ia te pakaru.
20 I must speak and find relief; I must open my lips and respond.
Me korero ahau, kia ta ai toku manawa; ka puaki toku mangai, ka whakahoki kupu ahau.
21 I will be partial to no one, nor will I flatter any man.
Na kaua ahau e whakapai ki te kanohi tangata; e kore hoki ahau e hoatu ingoa whakapaipai ki te tangata.
22 For I do not know how to flatter, or my Maker would remove me in an instant.
Kahore hoki ahau e mohio ki te whakapati; penei kua riro wawe ahau i toku Kaihanga.
