< Job 32 >

1 And these three men cease from answering Job, for he [is] righteous in his own eyes,
Enti saa mmarima baasa yi ammua Hiob bio, efisɛ na ɔteɛ wɔ ɔno ara ani so.
2 and the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite burns, of the family of Ram; his anger has burned against Job, because of his justifying himself more than God;
Na Busini Barakel babarima Elihu a ofi Ram abusua mu no bo fuw Hiob yiye sɛ obu ne ho bem na ommu Onyankopɔn mmom bem.
3 and his anger has burned against his three friends, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job.
Ne bo fuw nnamfonom baasa no sɛ wɔantumi anya nnyinaso bi ammɔ Hiob nsɛm no angu, nanso wobuu no fɔ.
4 And Elihu has waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days.
Elihu twɛn sɛ afoforo no bɛkasa akyerɛ Hiob, efisɛ na wɔanyinyin sen no.
5 And Elihu sees that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burns.
Na ohuu sɛ nnipa baasa no nni asɛm biara ka bio no, nʼabufuw no sɔree.
6 And Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answers and says: “I [am] young in days, and you [are] aged; Therefore I have feared, And am afraid of showing you my opinion.
Enti Busini Barakel babarima Elihu kae se, “Meyɛ abofra, na moyɛ mpanyimfo; ɛno nti na misuroo sɛ mɛka nea minim akyerɛ mo.
7 I said, Days speak, And a multitude of years teach wisdom.
Medwenee sɛ, ‘Ɛsɛ sɛ mpanyimfo kasa; ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔn ani afi kyerɛ nyansa.’
8 Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Causes them to understand.
Nanso honhom a ɛte onipa mu, Otumfo no home no na ɛma ntease.
9 The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.
Ɛnyɛ mpanyimfo nko na wɔyɛ anyansafo, ɛnyɛ wɔn a wɔn ani afi nko na wɔte nea eye ase.
10 Therefore I have said: Listen to me, I show my opinion—even I.
“Enti mise: Muntie me; me nso mɛka mʼadwene.
11 Behold, I have waited for your words, I give ear to your reasons, Until you search out sayings.
Metwɛn wɔ bere a na morekasa, mitiee mo adwenkyerɛ; bere a na munhu nea monka no,
12 And to you I attend, And behold, there is no reasoner for Job, [Or] answerer of his sayings among you.
meyɛɛ aso maa mo pa ara, nanso mo mu biara antumi ankyerɛ sɛ Hiob ayɛ mfomso; mo mu biara anyi ne nsɛm no ano.
13 Lest you say, We have found wisdom, God thrusts him away, not man.
Monnka se, ‘Yɛahu nyansa; momma Onyankopɔn mmɔ nʼasɛm no ngu, na ɛnyɛ onipa.’
14 And he has not set words in array for me, And I do not answer him with your sayings.
Nanso Hiob nkasa ntia me, na merennyina mo adwenkyerɛ so mmua no.
15 (They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed words from themselves.
“Wɔn ho adwiriw wɔn, wonni hwee ka bio; wɔn nsɛm asa.
16 And I have waited, but they do not speak, For they have stood still, They have not answered anymore.)
So ɛsɛ sɛ metwɛn wɔ bere a wɔayɛ komm yi, saa bere yi a wogyinagyina ha yi a wonni mmuae biara no?
17 I answer, even I—my share, I show my opinion—even I.
Me nso mɛka bi me nso mɛka mʼadwene.
18 For I have been full of words, The spirit of my breast has distressed me,
Efisɛ nsɛm ahyɛ mʼanom ma, na honhom a ɛte me mu no hyɛ me sɛ menka;
19 Behold, my breast [is] as wine not opened, It is broken up like new bottles.
Me mu no, mete sɛ nsa a ɛhyɛ toa mu te sɛ nsa kotoku foforo a ɛrebɛpae.
20 I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I open my lips and answer.
Ɛsɛ sɛ mekasa na me ho tɔ me; ɛsɛ sɛ mibue mʼano na mema mmuae.
21 Please do not let me accept the face of any, Nor give flattering titles to man,
Merenyɛ nhwɛanim na merennɛfɛdɛfɛ obiara;
22 For I have not known to give flattering titles, My Maker takes me away in a little.”
na sɛ makwadaw adɛfɛdɛfɛ mu a, anka me Yɛfo beyi me afi hɔ ntɛm so.
