Job 32
1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
Hivyo hawa watu watatu walikoma kumjibu Ayubu kwasababu alikuwa ni mwenye haki katika macho yake mwenyewe.
2 Then the wrath of Elihu the son of Barakel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was kindled against Job. His wrath was kindled because he justified himself rather than God.
Ndipo iliwaka hasira ya Elihu mwana wa Barakeli Mbuzi, wa familia ya Ramu, iliwaka dhidi ya Ayubu kwa kuwa alijihesabia haki mwenyewe kuliko Mungu.
3 Also his wrath was kindled against his three friends, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
Hasira ya Elihu iliwaka pia kinyume cha marafiki zake watatu kwasababu hawakupata jibu kwa ajili ya Ayubu, na bado walimhukumu Ayubu.
4 Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job, because they were elder than he.
Sasa Elihu alikuwa amemsubiri Ayubu ili aweze kuzungumza naye kwa kuwa watu wengine walikuwa wakubwa kuliko yeye.
5 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
Hata hivyo, wakati Elihu alipoona ya kuwa hapakuwa na jibu katika midomo ya watu hawa watatu, hasira yake iliwaka.
6 Elihu the son of Barakel the Buzite answered, "I am young, and you are very old; Therefore I held back, and did not dare show you my opinion.
Ndipo Elihu mwana wa Barakeli Mbuzi alinena na kusema, “Mimi ni mdogo, na ninyi ni wazee. Hii ndio sababu nilijizuia na sikuthubutu kuzungumza mawazo yangu mwenyewe.
7 I said, 'Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.'
Nilisema, “Urefu wa siku utazungumza; na wingi wa miaka utatufundisha hekima.
8 But there is a spirit in man, and the breath of Shaddai gives them understanding.
Lakini kuna roho ndani ya mtu; pumzi ya Mwenye nguvu humpa yeye ufahamu.
9 It is not the great who are wise, nor the aged who understand justice.
Si tu watu wakubwa ndio wenye hekima, wala watu wazee pekee ambao hufahamu haki.
10 Therefore I said, 'Listen to me; I also will show my opinion.'
Hivyo basi nakwambia wewe, “Nisikilizeni mimi; Nitakwambia pia uelewa wangu.'
11 "Look, I waited for your words, and I listened for your reasoning, while you searched out what to say.
Tazama, niliyasubiria maneno yenu; nilisikiliza hoja zenu wakati mlipokuwa mnafikiri juu ya kile cha kusema.
12 Yes, I gave you my full attention, but there was no one who convinced Job, or who answered his words, among you.
Hakika, niliwajali sana ninyi, lakini, tazama, hakuna hata mmoja wenu aliyeweza kumshawishi Ayubu wala ambaye aliweza kumjibu maneno yake.
13 Beware lest you say, 'We have found wisdom, God may refute him, not man;'
Iweni waangalifu msije mkasema, 'Tumepata hekima!' Mungu atakuwa amemshinda Ayubu; mtu wa kawaida hawezi akafanya hivyo.
14 for he has not directed his words against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches.
Kwa kuwa Ayubu hajasema mojamoja maneno yake juu yangu, basi sitamjibu kwa maneno yenu.
15 "They are amazed. They answer no more. They do not have a word to say.
Hawa watu watatu wamep igwa bumbuwazi; hawawezi kuendelea kumjibu Ayubu; hawana neno zaidi la kusema.
16 Shall I wait, because they do not speak, because they stand still, and answer no more?
Je ninapaswa kusubiria kwasababu hawazungumzi, kwa kuwa wamesimama pale kimya na wala hawajibu zaidi?
17 I also will answer my part, and I also will show my opinion.
La, nitajibu pia upande wangu; Nitawaambia pia ufahamu wangu.
18 For I am full of words. The spirit within me constrains me.
Kwa kuwa nimejawa na maneno mengi, roho ndani yangu inanisukuma.
19 Look, my breast is as wine which has no vent; like new wineskins it is ready to burst.
Tazama, kifua changu ni kama divai yenye chachu ambayo haina tundu; kama viriba vipya, kiko tayari kupasuka.
20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed. I will open my lips and answer.
Nitazungumza ili kwamba niweze kuburudishwa; nitafungua kimya changu na kusema.
21 Please do not let me respect any man's person, neither will I give flattering titles to any man.
Sitaonesha upendeleo; wala sitatoa sifa za majina kwa mtu yeyote.
22 For I do not know how to give flattering titles; or else my Maker would soon take me away.
Kwa kuwa sijui namna ya kutoa sifa; kama nitafanya hivyo, Muumba wangu atanikatilia mimi mbali.
