Job 32
1 Job's three friends stopped responding to him because he kept on protesting his innocence.
Job ni amahoima tamikalan a kâti dawkvah, tami kathum touh ni Job pathung awh hoeh toe.
2 Then Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, grew angry. He was angry with Job for claiming he was right rather than God.
Hottelah Barakel e capa Elihu, Buz tami Ram catoun Elihu teh pueng hoi a lungkhuek. Cathut hlak amahoima tamikalan a kâti dawkvah, Job koe a lungkhuek.
3 Elihu was also angry at Job's three friends because they made it seem that God was wrong, because they had not been able to answer Job.
Job e a hui kathum touh koehai a lungkhuek. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Job hah na payon atipouh eiteh, bout pathung nahane panuek awh hoeh.
4 Elihu had waited to for the other three to speak with Job since they were older than he was.
Ahnimouh teh, ama hlak vah kacuehnawn lah ao. Elihu ni Job koevah lawk dei hanelah meng a ring.
5 But when he saw that they could not answer Job, he grew very angry.
Elihu ni hetnaw kathum touh e pahni dawk hoi pathung nahan awm hoeh tie hah a panue torei teh, a lung puenghoi a khuek.
6 Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, said, “I am young, and you are old, which is why I was reluctant to tell you what I know.
Hottelah, Barakel e capa Elihu, Buz tami ni hettelah a pathung. Kai teh kum kanaw teh, nangmouh teh na kumcue poung awh toe. Hatdawkvah, na taki awh teh, ka pouknae hai ka dei ngam hoeh.
7 I told myself, ‘Those who are older should speak—those who are elderly should teach wisdom.’
Kum ni dei naseh, kum moikapap ni lungangnae cangkhai naseh ka ti.
8 However, there is a spirit in human beings, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding.
Hateiteh, tami e thung kaawm e muitha, Athakasaipounge kâha hah panuethainae kapoekung lah ao.
9 It is not the old who are wise, or the elderly who know what is right.
Tamikalannaw ni hoe lungangnae awm hoeh kum kacuenaw ni lannae hoe panuethainae awm hoeh.
10 That's why I'm telling you to listen to me now—let me tell you what I know.
Hatdawkvah, na thai pouh awh haw, kai ni hai ka pouknae ka pâpho han.
11 Well, I waited to hear what you had to say, listening for your insights as you looked for the right words to speak.
Khenhaw! na lawknaw hah ka thai teh, dei hanelah ao telah na pouk lahun nah na panuesaknae hah ka panue toe.
12 I paid close attention to all of you, and none of you have proved Job wrong or answered his arguments.
Kahawicalah na thai pouh haw lawk ka pathung thai e Job e a lung pan ka cai sak e, nangmouh thung dawk buet touh hai na awm awh hoeh maw.
13 Don't say to yourselves, ‘We are so wise,’ for God will prove him wrong, not a human being.
Lungangnae ka hmu toe, tami nahoeh niteh, Cathut ni ama teh a tâ han na tet awh payon vaih.
14 Job didn't line up his arguments against me, and I won't answer him the way you did.
A lawknaw ni rep na tâdue hoeh nangmae lawk patetlah ahni teh bout ka pathung mahoeh.
15 You sit there speechless with nothing left to say.
A lung a pout awh teh, pathung awh hoeh toe, lawkkamuem ao awh toe.
16 Should I continue to wait since you're no longer talking, just standing there saying nothing?
Lawk a dei awh hoeh toung dawkvah, ka ring rah, bangkongtetpawiteh, pathung toung laipalah duem a kangdue awh.
17 No—now I'll give my answer too. I'll tell you what I know.
Kai ni hai kama hane ka pathung van han, ka pouknae teh ka pâpho van han.
18 I have so much to say I can't hold the words back!
Bangkongtetpawiteh, lawk hoi ka kawi teh, ka thung e muitha ni dei hoeh laipalah, na awm sak thai hoeh.
19 Inside I'm like fermenting wine all bottled up; like new wineskins ready to explode!
Ka thung lae hah misurtui tâconae kâko kaawm hoeh e patetlah ao. Misurtui um katha patetlah kâbawng hane coungkacoe ao toe.
20 I have to speak before I burst; I will open my lips to answer him.
Ka kâha a tâco thai nahanelah, lawk ka dei han, Ka pahni roeroe ka ang vaiteh ka pathung han.
21 I will not take sides, and I'm not going to flatter anyone.
Apipi nakunghai, kapeknae kamnue sak hoeh nahanlah tami bangpatet hai ka oup hoeh nahanlah ka ratoum.
22 I don't know how to flatter, and if I did my Creator would soon destroy me.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami oupnae hah ka thoum hoeh, telah nahoeh pawiteh, kasakkung ni palang na lat payon vaih.
