Job 32
1 And his three friends also ceased any longer to answer Job: for Job was righteous before them.
Enti saa mmarima baasa yi ammua Hiob bio, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔtene wɔ ɔno ara ani so.
2 Then Elius the son of Barachiel, the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, of the country of Ausis, was angered: and he was very angry with Job, because he justified himself before the Lord.
Na Busini Barakel babarima Elihu a ɔfiri Ram abusua mu no bo fuu Hiob yie sɛ ɔbu ne ho bem na ɔmmu Onyankopɔn mmom bem.
3 And he was also very angry with [his] three friends, because they were not able to return answers to Job, yet set him down for an ungodly man.
Ne bo fuu nnamfonom baasa no sɛ wɔantumi anya nnyinasoɔ bi ammɔ Hiob nsɛm no angu, nanso wɔbuu no fɔ.
4 But Elius had forborne to give an answer to Job, because they were older than he.
Elihu twɛnee sɛ afoforɔ no bɛkasa akyerɛ Hiob, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔanyinyini sene no.
5 And Elius saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men; and he was angered in his wrath.
Na ɔhunuu sɛ nnipa baasa no nni asɛm biara ka bio no, nʼabufuo sɔreeɛ.
6 And Elius the Buzite the son of Barachiel answered and said, I am younger in age, and you are elder, therefore I kept silence, fearing to declare to you my own knowledge.
Enti Busini Barakel babarima Elihu kaa sɛ, “Meyɛ abɔfra, na moyɛ mpanimfoɔ; ɛno enti na mesuroo sɛ mɛka deɛ menim akyerɛ mo.
7 And I said, It is not time that speaks, though in many years [men] know wisdom:
Medwenee sɛ, ‘Ɛsɛ sɛ mpanimfoɔ kasa; ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔn ani afire kyerɛ nyansa.’
8 but there is a spirit in mortals; and the inspiration of the Almighty is that which teaches.
Nanso honhom a ɛte onipa mu, Otumfoɔ no ahomeɛ no na ɛma nteaseɛ.
9 The long-lived are not wise [as such]; neither do the aged know judgment.
Ɛnyɛ mpanimfoɔ nko na wɔyɛ anyansafoɔ, ɛnyɛ wɔn a wɔn ani afire nko na wɔte deɛ ɛyɛ ase.
10 Therefore I said, Hear me, and I will tell you what I know.
“Enti mese: Montie me; me nso mɛka mʼadwene.
11 Listen to my words; for I will speak in your hearing, until you shall have tried [the matter] with words:
Metwɛneeɛ wɔ ɛberɛ a morekasa, metiee mo adwenkyerɛ; ɛberɛ a na monhunu deɛ monka no,
12 and I shall understand as far as you; and, behold, there was no one of you that answered Job his words in argument,
meyɛɛ aso maa mo pa ara, nanso mo mu biara antumi ankyerɛ sɛ Hiob ayɛ mfomsoɔ; mo mu biara anyi nʼanosɛm ano.
13 lest you should say, We have found that we have added wisdom to the Lord.
Monnka sɛ, ‘Ɔnim nyansa; Onyankopɔn nko ara na ɔbɛtumi asesa nʼadwene.’
14 And you have commissioned a man to speak such words.
Sɛ Hiob ne me kasaeɛ a, anka merennyina mo adwenkyerɛ no so mmua no.
15 They were afraid, they answered no longer; they gave up their speaking.
“Mo ho adwiri mo, monni hwee ka bio; mo nsɛm asa.
16 I waited, (for I had not spoken, ) because they stood still, they answered not.
Ɛsɛ sɛ metwɛn wɔ ɛberɛ a moayɛ komm yi, saa ɛberɛ a mo monni mmuaeɛ biara de ma yi?
17 And Elius continued, and said, I will again speak,
Me nso mɛka bi me nso mɛka mʼadwene.
18 for I am full of words, for the spirit of my belly destroys me.
Ɛfiri sɛ, nsɛm ahyɛ mʼanomu ma, na honhom a ɛte me mu no hyɛ me sɛ menka;
19 And my belly is as a skin of sweet wine, bound up [and] ready to burst; or as a brazier's laboring bellows.
Me mu no, mete sɛ nsa a ɛhyɛ toa mu; Me te sɛ nsã kotokuo foforɔ a ɛrebɛpae.
20 I will speak, that I may open my lips and relieve myself.
Ɛsɛ sɛ mekasa na me ho tɔ me; ɛsɛ sɛ mebue mʼano na me ma mmuaeɛ.
21 For truly I will not be awed because of man, nor indeed will I be confounded before a mortal.
Merenyɛ animhwɛ na merenkorɔkorɔ obiara.
22 For I know not how to respect persons: and if otherwise, even the moths would eat me.
Na sɛ makwadare akorɔkorɔ mu a, anka me Yɛfoɔ bɛyi me afiri hɔ ntɛm so.
