Job 32
1 Job's three friends stopped responding to him because he kept on protesting his innocence.
Bato wana misato batikaki koyanola Yobo, pamba te azalaki komimona sembo na miso na ye moko.
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.
Kasi Eliwu, mwana mobali ya Barakeyeli, moto ya libota ya Buzi mpe ya etuka ya Rami, asilikelaki Yobo makasi, pamba te amimonaki sembo koleka Nzambe.
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.
Asilikelaki mpe baninga misato ya Yobo, pamba te balongaki te kopesa Yobo eyano oyo esengeli; nzokande bakweyisaki Nzambe.
4 Elihu had waited to for the other three to speak with Job since they were older than he was.
Eliwu awelaki te koloba moto ya liboso epai ya Yobo, pamba te baninga wana misato ya Yobo bazalaki mikolo na ye na mibu ya mbotama.
5 But when he saw that they could not answer Job, he grew very angry.
Kasi tango Eliwu amonaki ete bato wana misato bazali lisusu na likambo ya koloba te, asilikaki makasi.
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.
Boye Eliwu, mwana mobali ya Barakeyeli, moto ya libota ya Buzi, alobaki: « Nazali leki na mibu ya mbotama, mpe bino bozali mikolo; yango wana nazalaki kobanga mpe nazangaki makasi ya koloba na bino makambo oyo ngai nayebi.
7 I told myself, ‘Those who are older should speak—those who are elderly should teach wisdom.’
Nazalaki komilobela: ‹ Bato oyo bazali na mibu ebele ya mbotama bakoyeba koloba, pamba te kozala na mibu ebele epesaka bwanya. ›
8 However, there is a spirit in human beings, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding.
Nzokande, kati na moto, ezali nde molimo, ezali pema ya Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso nde epesaka moto boyebi.
9 It is not the old who are wise, or the elderly who know what is right.
Ezali kaka mibange te nde bazali na bwanya, mpe ezali kaka bampaka te nde basosolaka makambo oyo ezali sembo.
10 That's why I'm telling you to listen to me now—let me tell you what I know.
Yango wana nalobi: Boyoka ngai, ngai mpe nakoloba na bino makambo oyo nayebi.
11 Well, I waited to hear what you had to say, listening for your insights as you looked for the right words to speak.
Tango bino bozalaki koloba, ngai nazalaki koloba te, nazalaki koyoka makanisi na bino, wana bozalaki koluka makambo ya koloba.
12 I paid close attention to all of you, and none of you have proved Job wrong or answered his arguments.
Nalandaki bino na bokebi nyonso; moko te kati na bino amoni mabe ya Yobo, moko te kati na bino alongi makanisi ya Yobo.
13 Don't say to yourselves, ‘We are so wise,’ for God will prove him wrong, not a human being.
Boloba te: ‹ Tomoni bwanya; Nzambe kaka nde akoki kolonga ye, kasi moto te. ›
14 Job didn't line up his arguments against me, and I won't answer him the way you did.
Lokola Yobo alobaki maloba na ye epai na ngai te, ngai mpe nakosalela makanisi na bino te mpo na kozongisela ye eyano.
15 You sit there speechless with nothing left to say.
Bayoki soni, batikali ata na liloba moko te ya koloba, makambo ya koloba esili bango na minoko!
16 Should I continue to wait since you're no longer talking, just standing there saying nothing?
Boni, nasengeli sik’oyo kozela, awa bazangi maloba to basuki wana mpe bakangi minoko?
17 No—now I'll give my answer too. I'll tell you what I know.
Ngai mpe nakoloba sik’oyo, nakoloba makambo oyo nayebi.
18 I have so much to say I can't hold the words back!
Lokola maloba ebele etondi kati na ngai, motema na ngai ezali kopela lokola moto.
19 Inside I'm like fermenting wine all bottled up; like new wineskins ready to explode!
Kati na ngai, nazali lokola mbeki ya vino oyo ezali kotoka, lokola mbeki ya vino ya sika oyo ekomi pene ya kopasuka.
20 I have to speak before I burst; I will open my lips to answer him.
Nakoloba mpo ete motema na ngai ekita, nakofungola bibebu na ngai mpo ete nayanola.
21 I will not take sides, and I'm not going to flatter anyone.
Nakopona bilongi te, nakobondela mpe moto moko te;
22 I don't know how to flatter, and if I did my Creator would soon destroy me.
pamba te, soki nayebaki kobondela bato, Mokeli na ngai alingaki kolongola ngai mbala moko.
