< Job 32 >

1 And his three friends also ceased any longer to answer Job: for Job was righteous before them.
Job loe angmah hoi angmah to katoeng kami ah poek pongah, to kami thumtonawk mah Job ih lok to pathim pae o ai boeh.
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.
To naah Ram imthung takoh kami ah kaom, Buz acaeng Barakel capa Elihu loe palungphui; angmah hoi angmah Sithaw pong katoeng kue ah poek pongah, Job nuiah palungphui.
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.
Job ih lok to pathim o thai ai pongah, angmah ih ampui thumto nuiah doeh palungphui moe, Job doeh zaehaih a net.
4 But Elius had forborne to give an answer to Job, because they were older than he.
Elihu loe nihcae pongah saning nawk kue pongah, Job lokthuih boeng ai karoek to a zing.
5 And Elius saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men; and he was angered in his wrath.
To kami thumtonawk loe lokthuih han tawn o ai boeh, tiah Elihu mah panoek naah, paroeai palungphui.
6 And Elius the Buzite the son of Barachiel answered and said, I am younger in age, and you are elder, therefore I kept silence, fearing to declare to you my own knowledge.
To pongah Barakel capa Buz acaeng Elihu mah, Kai loe saning ka nawk vop, nangcae loe saning na coeh o boeh; to pongah kang zit o moe, ka poekhaih kang thui o ai.
7 And I said, It is not time that speaks, though in many years [men] know wisdom:
Kai mah loe, Saning coeh kami mah lok to thuih moe, saning sawkah khosah kami mah palunghahaih patuk han oh, tiah ka poek.
8 but there is a spirit in mortals; and the inspiration of the Almighty is that which teaches.
Toe kami thungah muithla oh; Thacak Sithaw ih takhi mah anih to panoekhaih paek.
9 The long-lived are not wise [as such]; neither do the aged know judgement.
Saning coeh kaminawk khue palungha ai, katoeng hmuen loe saning coeh kaminawk khue mah ni panoek tito na ai ni.
10 Therefore I said, Hear me, and I will tell you what I know.
To pongah ka lok hae tahngai oh; ka poekhaih kang thuih o toeng han.
11 Listen to my words; for I will speak in your hearing, until you shall have tried [the matter] with words:
Khenah, na thuih o ih loknawk to ka zing; lokthuih han na poek o moe, na thuih o ih lok to kang tahngaih pae o.
12 and I shall understand as far as you; and, behold, there was no one of you that answered Job his words in argument,
Ue, nangcae ih lok to ka tahngaih; khenah, mi mah doeh Job na pazawk o ai; a lok to mi mah doeh na pathim o thai ai;
13 lest you should say, We have found that we have added wisdom to the Lord.
to pongah palunghahaih ka hnuk o boeh, tiah thui o moeng hmah; Job pahnaemkung loe, kami na ai, Sithaw ni.
14 And you have commissioned a man to speak such words.
Job mah ka lok hae aek ai, na thuih o ih lok baktiah, anih ih lok to ka pathim mak ai.
15 They were afraid, they answered no longer; they gave up their speaking.
Nihcae loe dawnrai o, lokthuih han tawn o ai pongah lok apae ai ah oh o duem.
16 I waited, (for I had not spoken, ) because they stood still, they answered not.
Ka zing naah, nihcae lok apae o ai, lok pathim ai ah, oh o duem;
17 And Elius continued, and said, I will again speak,
to pongah kaimah han lok ka thuih moe, ka poekhaih doeh kam tuengsak han, tiah ka thuih.
18 for I am full of words, for the spirit of my belly destroys me.
Kai thungah kaom muithla mah ang pahruek pongah, thuih han lok zetpui ka tawnh.
19 And my belly is as a skin of sweet wine, bound up [and] ready to burst; or as a brazier's labouring bellows.
Khenah, ka zok loe tacawthaih akhaw om ai misurtui baktih, kakoi tom moihin tabu kangtha baktiah oh.
20 I will speak, that I may open my lips and relieve myself.
Ngantuihaih ka hnuk hanah, lok ka thuih han; pahni ka angh moe, lok ka pathim han.
21 For truly I will not be awed because of man, nor indeed will I be confounded before a mortal.
Mi kawbaktih mikhmai doeh ka khen mak ai, mi doeh ka pakoeh mak ai.
22 For I know not how to respect persons: and if otherwise, even the moths would eat me.
Minawk pakoehhaih lok thuih hanah ka panoek ai; to tiah ka thuih nahaeloe, kai sahkung Sithaw mah kai hae amrosak ving tih.
