Job 32
1 But these three men ceased to answer Job, because he considered himself justified.
Lawomadoda amathathu aseyekela ukumphendula uJobe, ngoba wayelungile emehlweni akhe.
2 And Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, was angry and indignant. But he was angry against Job because he described himself to be just in the presence of God.
Lwaseluvutha ulaka lukaElihu indodana kaBarakeli umBuzi, owosendo lukaRamu. Ulaka lwakhe lwavuthela uJobe ngoba wazilungisisa yena kuloNkulunkulu.
3 Moreover, he was indignant with his friends because they had not found a reasonable response, except in so far as they condemned Job.
Ulaka lwakhe lwabavuthela labo abangane bakhe abathathu, ngoba bengatholanga impendulo, kube kanti bamlahla uJobe.
4 Therefore, Eliu waited while Job was talking, for these were his elders that were speaking.
Kodwa UElihu wayelindele uJobe ekhuluma, ngoba babebadala ngensuku kulaye.
5 But when he saw that these three were not able to respond, he was extremely angry.
UElihu esebonile ukuthi kwakungelampendulo emlonyeni walamadoda amathathu, ulaka lwakhe lwaseluvutha.
6 And so Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite responded by saying: I am younger in years, and you are more ancient; therefore, I kept my head low, for I was afraid to reveal to you my opinion.
Ngakho uElihu indodana kaBarakeli umBuzi waphendula wathi: Mina ngingomncinyane ngezinsuku, lina-ke libadala; ngenxa yalokhu bengithikaza, ngesaba ukulitshela umcabango wami.
7 For I had hoped that greater age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom.
Ngathi: Kakukhulume izinsuku, lobunengi beminyaka bazise inhlakanipho.
8 But I see now that there is only breath in men, and that it is the inspiration of the Almighty that gives understanding.
Isibili umoya ukhona emuntwini, lokuphefumulela kukaSomandla kuyabanika ukuqedisisa.
9 The wise are not the aged, nor do the elders understand judgment.
Abakhulu kabahlakaniphi ngezikhathi zonke, labalupheleyo kabaqedisisi isahlulelo.
10 Therefore, I will speak. Listen to me, and so I will show you my wisdom.
Ngakho ngithi: Lalelani kimi; lami ngizatshengisa umcabango wami.
11 For I have endured your words; I have paid attention to your deliberations, while you were being argumentative with words.
Khangelani, bengiwalindele amazwi enu, ngabeka indlebe ekukhulumeni kwenu okuhlakaniphileyo, lisadinga amazwi.
12 And as long as I supposed that you were saying something, I considered; but now I see that there is none of you that is able to argue with Job and to respond to his words.
Yebo, ngalilalela, khangelani-ke, kakho phakathi kwenu omvumisileyo uJobe, owaphenduleyo amazwi akhe.
13 So that you will not say, “We have found wisdom,” God has thrown him down, not man.
Hlezi lithi: Sitholile inhlakanipho; nguNkulunkulu ozamxotsha, hatshi umuntu.
14 He has said nothing to me, and I will not respond to him according to your words.
Kodwa kangihlelelanga amazwi, langamazwi enu kangiyikumphendula.
15 Then they were filled with dread, and so they no longer responded, and they withdrew from their speechmaking.
Badideka, kabasaphendulanga, basusa amazwi kubo.
16 Therefore, because I have waited and they have not been speaking, for they stood firm and did not respond at all,
Ngasengilinda, kodwa kabakhulumanga, ngoba bema, kabasaphendulanga.
17 I also will answer in my turn, and I will reveal my knowledge.
Lami ngizaphendula ingxenye yami, lami ngitshengise umcabango wami.
18 For I am full of words, and the feeling in my gut inspires me.
Ngoba ngigcwele amazwi, umoya wesisu sami uyangiqhubezela.
19 Yes, my stomach is like fermenting wine without a vent, which bursts the new containers.
Khangelani, isisu sami sinjengewayini engavulwanga, njengemigodla emitsha sizadabuka.
20 I should speak, but I will also breathe a little; I will open my lips, and I will answer.
Ngizakhuluma ukuze ngiphefumule; ngivule indebe zami, ngiphendule.
21 I will not esteem the reputation of a man, and I will not equate God with man.
Ake ngingaphakamisi ubuso bomuntu, ngingabizi umuntu ngebizo lokubamba amehlo.
22 For I do not know how long I will continue, and whether, after a while, my Maker might take me away.
Ngoba kangikwazi ukunika amabizo okubamba amehlo; masinyane umenzi wami angangisusa.
