Job 32
1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he seemed just to himself.
Hivyo hawa watu watatu walikoma kumjibu Ayubu kwasababu alikuwa ni mwenye haki katika macho yake mwenyewe.
2 And Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, was angry and was moved to indignation: now he was angry against Job, because he said he was just before God.
Ndipo iliwaka hasira ya Elihu mwana wa Barakeli Mbuzi, wa familia ya Ramu, iliwaka dhidi ya Ayubu kwa kuwa alijihesabia haki mwenyewe kuliko Mungu.
3 And he was angry with his friends because they had not found a reasonable answer, but only had condemned Job.
Hasira ya Elihu iliwaka pia kinyume cha marafiki zake watatu kwasababu hawakupata jibu kwa ajili ya Ayubu, na bado walimhukumu Ayubu.
4 So Eliu waited while Job was speaking, because they were his elders that were speaking.
Sasa Elihu alikuwa amemsubiri Ayubu ili aweze kuzungumza naye kwa kuwa watu wengine walikuwa wakubwa kuliko yeye.
5 But when he saw that the three were not able to answer, he was exceedingly angry.
Hata hivyo, wakati Elihu alipoona ya kuwa hapakuwa na jibu katika midomo ya watu hawa watatu, hasira yake iliwaka.
6 Then Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said: I am younger in days, and you are more ancient; therefore hanging down my head, I was afraid to shew you my opinion.
Ndipo Elihu mwana wa Barakeli Mbuzi alinena na kusema, “Mimi ni mdogo, na ninyi ni wazee. Hii ndio sababu nilijizuia na sikuthubutu kuzungumza mawazo yangu mwenyewe.
7 For I hoped that greater age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom.
Nilisema, “Urefu wa siku utazungumza; na wingi wa miaka utatufundisha hekima.
8 But, as I see, there is a spirit in men, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth understanding.
Lakini kuna roho ndani ya mtu; pumzi ya Mwenye nguvu humpa yeye ufahamu.
9 They that are aged are not the wise men, neither do the ancients understand judgment.
Si tu watu wakubwa ndio wenye hekima, wala watu wazee pekee ambao hufahamu haki.
10 Therefore I will speak: Hearken to me, I also will shew you my wisdom.
Hivyo basi nakwambia wewe, “Nisikilizeni mimi; Nitakwambia pia uelewa wangu.'
11 For I have waited for your words, I have given ear to your wisdom, as long as you were disputing in words.
Tazama, niliyasubiria maneno yenu; nilisikiliza hoja zenu wakati mlipokuwa mnafikiri juu ya kile cha kusema.
12 And as long as I thought you said some thing, I considered: but, as I see, there is none of you that can convince Job, and answer his words.
Hakika, niliwajali sana ninyi, lakini, tazama, hakuna hata mmoja wenu aliyeweza kumshawishi Ayubu wala ambaye aliweza kumjibu maneno yake.
13 Lest you should say: We have found wisdom, God hath cast him down, not man.
Iweni waangalifu msije mkasema, 'Tumepata hekima!' Mungu atakuwa amemshinda Ayubu; mtu wa kawaida hawezi akafanya hivyo.
14 He hath spoken nothing to me, and I will not answer him according to your words.
Kwa kuwa Ayubu hajasema mojamoja maneno yake juu yangu, basi sitamjibu kwa maneno yenu.
15 They were afraid, and answered no more, and they left off speaking.
Hawa watu watatu wamep igwa bumbuwazi; hawawezi kuendelea kumjibu Ayubu; hawana neno zaidi la kusema.
16 Therefore because I have waited, and they have not spoken: they stood, and answered no more:
Je ninapaswa kusubiria kwasababu hawazungumzi, kwa kuwa wamesimama pale kimya na wala hawajibu zaidi?
17 I also will answer my part, and will shew my knowledge.
La, nitajibu pia upande wangu; Nitawaambia pia ufahamu wangu.
18 For I am full of matter to speak of, and the spirit of my bowels straiteneth me.
Kwa kuwa nimejawa na maneno mengi, roho ndani yangu inanisukuma.
19 Behold, my belly is as new wine which wanteth vent, which bursteth the new vessels.
Tazama, kifua changu ni kama divai yenye chachu ambayo haina tundu; kama viriba vipya, kiko tayari kupasuka.
20 I will speak and take breath a little: I will open my lips, and will answer.
Nitazungumza ili kwamba niweze kuburudishwa; nitafungua kimya changu na kusema.
21 I will not accept the person of man, and I will not level God with man.
Sitaonesha upendeleo; wala sitatoa sifa za majina kwa mtu yeyote.
22 For I know not how long I shall continue, and whether after a while my Maker may take me away.
Kwa kuwa sijui namna ya kutoa sifa; kama nitafanya hivyo, Muumba wangu atanikatilia mimi mbali.
