Job 32

1 And his three friends also ceased any longer to answer Job: for Job was righteous before them.

Enti saa mmarima baasa yi ammua Hiob bio, efisɛ na ɔteɛ wɔ ɔno ara ani so.

2 Then Elius the son of Barachiel, the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, of the country of Ausis, was angered: and he was very angry with Job, because he justified himself before the Lord.

Na Busini Barakel babarima Elihu a ofi Ram abusua mu no bo fuw Hiob yiye sɛ obu ne ho bem na ommu Onyankopɔn mmom bem.

3 And he was also very angry with [his] three friends, because they were not able to return answers to Job, yet set him down for an ungodly man.

Ne bo fuw nnamfonom baasa no sɛ wɔantumi anya nnyinaso bi ammɔ Hiob nsɛm no angu, nanso wobuu no fɔ.

4 But Elius had forborne to give an answer to Job, because they were older than he.

Elihu twɛn sɛ afoforo no bɛkasa akyerɛ Hiob, efisɛ na wɔanyinyin sen no.

5 And Elius saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men; and he was angered in his wrath.

Na ohuu sɛ nnipa baasa no nni asɛm biara ka bio no, nʼabufuw no sɔree.

6 And Elius the Buzite the son of Barachiel answered and said, I am younger in age, and ye are elder, wherefore I kept silence, fearing to declare to you my own knowledge.

Enti Busini Barakel babarima Elihu kae se, “Meyɛ abofra, na moyɛ mpanyimfo; ɛno nti na misuroo sɛ mɛka nea minim akyerɛ mo.

7 And I said, It is not time that speaks, though in many years [men] know wisdom:

Medwenee sɛ, ‘Ɛsɛ sɛ mpanyimfo kasa; ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔn ani afi kyerɛ nyansa.’

8 but there is a spirit in mortals; and the inspiration of the Almighty is that which teaches.

Nanso honhom a ɛte onipa mu, Otumfo no home no na ɛma ntease.

9 The long-lived are not wise [as such]; neither do the aged know judgment.

Ɛnyɛ mpanyimfo nko na wɔyɛ anyansafo, ɛnyɛ wɔn a wɔn ani afi nko na wɔte nea eye ase.

10 Wherefore I said, Hear me, and I will tell you what I know.

“Enti mise: Muntie me; me nso mɛka mʼadwene.

11 Hearken to my words; for I will speak in your hearing, until ye shall have tried [the matter] with words:

Metwɛn wɔ bere a na morekasa, mitiee mo adwenkyerɛ; bere a na munhu nea monka no,

12 and I shall understand as far as you; and, behold, there was no one of you that answered Job his words in argument,

meyɛɛ aso maa mo pa ara, nanso mo mu biara antumi ankyerɛ sɛ Hiob ayɛ mfomso; mo mu biara anyi ne nsɛm no ano.

13 lest ye should say, We have found that we have added wisdom to the Lord.

Monnka se, ‘Yɛahu nyansa; momma Onyankopɔn mmɔ nʼasɛm no ngu, na ɛnyɛ onipa.’

14 And ye have commissioned a man to speak such words.

Nanso Hiob nkasa ntia me, na merennyina mo adwenkyerɛ so mmua no.

15 They were afraid, they answered no longer; they gave up their speaking.

“Wɔn ho adwiriw wɔn, wonni hwee ka bio; wɔn nsɛm asa.

16 I waited, (for I had not spoken, ) because they stood still, they answered not.

So ɛsɛ sɛ metwɛn wɔ bere a wɔayɛ komm yi, saa bere yi a wogyinagyina ha yi a wonni mmuae biara no?

17 And Elius continued, and said, I will again speak,

Me nso mɛka bi me nso mɛka mʼadwene.

18 for I am full of words, for the spirit of my belly destroys me.

Efisɛ nsɛm ahyɛ mʼanom ma, na honhom a ɛte me mu no hyɛ me sɛ menka;

19 And my belly is as a skin of sweet wine, bound up [and] ready to burst; or as a brazier's labouring bellows.

Me mu no, mete sɛ nsa a ɛhyɛ toa mu te sɛ nsa kotoku foforo a ɛrebɛpae.

20 I will speak, that I may open my lips and relieve myself.

Ɛsɛ sɛ mekasa na me ho tɔ me; ɛsɛ sɛ mibue mʼano na mema mmuae.

21 For truly I will not be awed because of man, nor indeed will I be confounded before a mortal.

Merenyɛ nhwɛanim na merennɛfɛdɛfɛ obiara;

22 For I know not how to respect persons: and if otherwise, even the moths would eat me.

na sɛ makwadaw adɛfɛdɛfɛ mu a, anka me Yɛfo beyi me afi hɔ ntɛm so.
