Job 32
1 So these three men gave no more answers to Job, because he seemed to himself to be right.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio atatũ nĩmatigire gũcookeria Ayubu, nĩ ũndũ eeyonaga arĩ mũthingu.
2 And Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was angry, burning with wrath against Job, because he seemed to himself more right than God;
No rĩrĩ, Elihu mũrũ wa Barakeli ũrĩa Mũbuzi, wa nyũmba ya Ramu, nĩarakaririo mũno nĩ Ayubu nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtua aarĩ na kĩhooto gũkĩra Ngai.
3 And he was angry with his three friends, because they had been unable to give him an answer, and had not made Job's sin clear.
Ningĩ nĩarakarĩtio nĩ arata acio atatũ tondũ nĩmagĩte ũndũ mangĩcookeria Ayubu, o na gũtuĩka nĩmamũtuĩrĩire ciira.
4 Now Elihu had kept quiet while Job was talking, because they were older than he;
Na rĩrĩ, Elihu aambĩte gweterera acio angĩ maarie atanaaria na Ayubu, tondũ o maarĩ akũrũ kũmũkĩra.
5 And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, he was very angry.
No rĩrĩa onire atĩ andũ acio atatũ matiarĩ na ũndũ ũngĩ wa kuuga-rĩ, agĩakanwo nĩ marakara.
6 And Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, made answer and said, I am young, and you are very old, so I was in fear, and kept myself from putting my knowledge before you.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Elihu, mũrũ wa Barakeli ũcio Mũbuzi, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Niĩ ndĩ na mĩaka mĩnini, na inyuĩ mũrĩ akũrũ; nĩkĩo ngwĩtigagĩra, ngaaga ũũmĩrĩru wa kũmwĩra ũrĩa njũũĩ.
7 I said to myself, It is right for the old to say what is in their minds, and for those who are far on in years to give out wisdom.
Ndeciiragia atĩrĩ, ‘Ũkũrũ nĩwaagĩrĩire warie; ũingĩ wa mĩaka nĩwaagĩrĩire kũrutana ũũgĩ.’
8 But truly it is the spirit in man, even the breath of the Ruler of all, which gives them knowledge.
No nĩ roho ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa mũndũ, o yo mĩhũmũ ya Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, ũheaga mũndũ ũmenyo.
9 It is not the old who are wise, and those who are full of years have not the knowledge of what is right.
To arĩa akũrũ oiki oogĩ, na to arĩa akũrũ mamenyaga ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire.
10 So I say, Give ear to me, and I will put forward my knowledge.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nguuga atĩrĩ, ‘Thikĩrĩriai; o na niĩ nĩngũmwĩra ũrĩa njũũĩ.’
11 I was waiting for your words, I was giving ear to your wise sayings; while you were searching out what to say,
Nĩngwetereire rĩrĩa mũkwaragia, ndathikĩrĩria ihooto cianyu; rĩrĩa mũgũcaragia ciugo-rĩ,
12 I was taking note; and truly not one of you was able to make clear Job's error, or to give an answer to his words.
nĩngũmũtegeire matũ biũ. No gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wanyu wonanirie mahĩtia ma Ayubu; gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wanyu ũmũcookeirie mĩario yake.
13 Take care that you do not say, Wisdom is here; God may overcome him, but not man.
Tigai kuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩtũgĩĩte na ũũgĩ; rekei Mũrungu amũkararie, no ti mũndũ.’
14 I will not put forward words like these, or make use of your sayings in answer to him.
No rĩrĩ, Ayubu ti niĩ ekwerekeirie ciugo ciake, na niĩ ndikũmũcookeria kũringana na mĩario yanyu.
15 Fear has overcome them, they have no more answers to give; they have come to an end of words.
“Nĩmamakĩte, na matirĩ na ũndũ ũngĩ mangiuga; nĩmarigĩtwo nĩ atĩa mangiuga.
16 And am I to go on waiting while they have nothing to say? while they keep quiet and give no more answers?
no nginya njeterere, nĩ ũndũ rĩu nĩmakirĩte, tondũ atĩ rĩu marũgamĩte hau matarĩ na macookio?
17 I will give my answer; I will put forward my knowledge:
O na niĩ nĩngwaria; o na niĩ nĩnguuga ũrĩa njũũĩ.
18 For I am full of words, I am unable to keep in my breath any longer:
Nĩgũkorwo njiyũrĩtwo nĩ ciugo, naguo roho ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wakwa nĩũrandindĩkĩrĩria;
19 My stomach is like wine which is unable to get out; like skins full of new wine, it is almost burst.
thĩinĩ wakwa haana ta ndibei ĩrĩ cuba ngunĩke, ngahaana ta mondo njerũ ya ndibei ĩkirie gũtuthũka.
20 Let me say what is in my mind, so that I may get comfort; let me give answer with open mouth.
no nginya njarie hũũcũke, no nginya ndumũre mĩromo yakwa njookie ũhoro.
21 Let me not give respect to any man, or give names of honour to any living.
Ndigũtĩĩra mũndũ o na ũ maũthĩ, kana ngaathĩrĩrie mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ tũhũ;
22 For I am not able to give names of honour to any man; and if I did, my Maker would quickly take me away.
nĩ ũndũ korwo ndĩ mwara na kũgaathĩrĩria, Mũnyũũmbi no anjeherie narua.
