Job 32
1 Job's three friends stopped responding to him because he kept on protesting his innocence.
Heoi mutu ake te whakahoki kupu a enei tangata tokotoru ki a Hopa, no te mea he tika ia ki tona nei whakaaro.
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.
Na kua mura te riri o Erihu tama a Parakere Puti, no te whanau i a Rame: mura ana tona riri ki a Hopa, no te mea ki tana tika rawa ia i te Atua.
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.
I mura ano tona riri ki ona hoa tokotoru, no te mea kihai i kitea e ratou he kupu hei whakahokinga atu, heoi kei te whakahe ano ratou i a Hopa.
4 Elihu had waited to for the other three to speak with Job since they were older than he was.
Na i tatari a Erihu kia korero ia ki a Hopa, no te mea he kaumatua ake ratou i a ia.
5 But when he saw that they could not answer Job, he grew very angry.
A, no te kitenga o Erihu kahore he kupu i nga mangai o aua tangata tokotoru hei whakahokinga atu, mura ana tona riri.
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.
Na ka oho a Erihu tama a Parakere Puti, ka mea, He taitamariki ahau, ko koutou ia he koroheke rawa; koia ahau i hopohopo ai, i wehi ai ki te whakaatu i toku whakaaro ki a koutou.
7 I told myself, ‘Those who are older should speak—those who are elderly should teach wisdom.’
I mea ahau, Ma nga ra te korero, ma nga tau kua maha e whakaatu te whakaaro nui.
8 However, there is a spirit in human beings, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding.
Otiia he wairua ano to te tangata, na te manawa ano o te Kaha Rawa ratou i whai mahara ai.
9 It is not the old who are wise, or the elderly who know what is right.
Ko nga tangata nunui, kahore o ratou whakaaro nui, ko nga kaumatua, kahore e matau ki te whakawa.
10 That's why I'm telling you to listen to me now—let me tell you what I know.
Koia ahau i mea ai, Whakarongo ki ahau; ka whakakite hoki ahau i toku whakaaro.
11 Well, I waited to hear what you had to say, listening for your insights as you looked for the right words to speak.
Nana, i tatari ahau ki a koutou kupu; i whai taringa atu ki o koutou whakaaro mohio i a koutou e rapu kupu ana.
12 I paid close attention to all of you, and none of you have proved Job wrong or answered his arguments.
Nana, mahara tonu atu ahau ki a koutou, a kihai tetahi o koutou i whakaatu i te he o Hopa, i whakahoki kupu ranei ki ana korero.
13 Don't say to yourselves, ‘We are so wise,’ for God will prove him wrong, not a human being.
Kei mea koutou, Kua kitea e matou te mohio, na te Atua ia i turaki, ehara i te tangata.
14 Job didn't line up his arguments against me, and I won't answer him the way you did.
Na kihai ana kupu i anga mai ki ahau; e kore ano tana e utua e ahau ki a koutou kupu.
15 You sit there speechless with nothing left to say.
Porahurahu kau ana ratou, kore ake a ratou kupu whakahoki: mutu ake a ratou korero.
16 Should I continue to wait since you're no longer talking, just standing there saying nothing?
Kia tatari ahau, no te mea kahore ratou e korero, no te mea e tu kau ana ratou, kahore e whakahoki atu?
17 No—now I'll give my answer too. I'll tell you what I know.
Me korero atu hoki e ahau aku kupu, maku ano e whakaatu toku whakaaro.
18 I have so much to say I can't hold the words back!
Ki tonu hoki ahau i te korero; e akiakina ana ahau e te wairua i roto i ahau.
19 Inside I'm like fermenting wine all bottled up; like new wineskins ready to explode!
Nana, ko toku kopu rite tonu ki te waina kahore nei ona putanga; ki te ipu hou e tata ana ia te pakaru.
20 I have to speak before I burst; I will open my lips to answer him.
Me korero ahau, kia ta ai toku manawa; ka puaki toku mangai, ka whakahoki kupu ahau.
21 I will not take sides, and I'm not going to flatter anyone.
Na kaua ahau e whakapai ki te kanohi tangata; e kore hoki ahau e hoatu ingoa whakapaipai ki te tangata.
22 I don't know how to flatter, and if I did my Creator would soon destroy me.
Kahore hoki ahau e mohio ki te whakapati; penei kua riro wawe ahau i toku Kaihanga.
