Job 32
1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
Naʻe tuku ai ʻe he kau tangata ʻe toko tolu ni ʻenau lea atu kia Siope, koeʻuhi naʻe māʻoniʻoni ia ʻi hono mata ʻoʻona.
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.
Pea naʻe tupu ʻae ʻita ʻa Elihu ko e foha ʻo Palakela ko e tangata Pusa, ʻi he kāinga ʻo Lame: naʻe tupu ʻene ʻita kia Siope, koeʻuhi naʻa ne fakatonuhiaʻi ia ʻe ia kae ʻikai ko e ʻOtua.
3 Also his wrath was kindled against his three friends, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
Naʻe ʻita foki ia ki hono kāinga ʻe toko tolu, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa talia ʻa Siope, ka kuo nau talatalaakiʻi ia.
4 Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job, because they were elder than he.
Ka naʻe tatali ʻa Elihu kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae lea ʻa Siope, koeʻuhi naʻa nau motuʻa ʻiate ia.
5 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
Pea ʻi he vakai ʻa Elihu kuo ʻikai ha tali ʻi he ngutu ʻoe kau tangata ʻe toko tolu ni, naʻe tupu ʻene ʻita.
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.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Elihu ko e foha ʻo Palakela ko e tangata Pusa, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou siʻi au, kae motuʻa ʻakimoutolu; ko ia ne u manavahē ai, ʻo taʻefiefakahā ʻa hoku loto.
7 I said, 'Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.'
Ne u pehē, ‘ʻE lea ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, pea ʻe akonekina ke poto ʻe he ngaahi taʻu lahi.’
8 But there is a spirit in man, and the breath of Shaddai gives them understanding.
Ka ʻoku ai ʻae laumālie ʻi he tangata, pea ʻoku foaki kiate ia ʻae ʻilo lahi ʻe he fakamānava ʻae Māfimafi.
9 It is not the great who are wise, nor the aged who understand justice.
ʻOku ʻikai poto ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻe he mātuʻa ʻae fakamaau.
10 Therefore I said, 'Listen to me; I also will show my opinion.'
Ko ia ne u pehē ai, ‘Fanongo mai kiate au; te u fakahā foki hoku loto.’
11 "Look, I waited for your words, and I listened for your reasoning, while you searched out what to say.
“Vakai, ne u tatali ki hoʻomou ngaahi lea; naʻaku fakafanongo ki hoʻomou ngaahi fakamatala, ʻi he lolotonga homou hakule ki haʻamou lea.
12 Yes, I gave you my full attention, but there was no one who convinced Job, or who answered his words, among you.
ʻIo, ne u tokangaʻi ʻakimoutolu, pea vakai, kuo ʻikai ha taha ʻiate kimoutolu kuo ne lavaʻi ʻa Siope, pe tali ʻene ngaahi lea:
13 Beware lest you say, 'We have found wisdom, God may refute him, not man;'
Telia naʻa mou pehē, ‘Kuo mau ʻiloʻi ʻae poto: ʻoku lī hifo ia ʻe he ʻOtua, kae ʻikai ko e tangata.’
14 for he has not directed his words against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches.
Pea ko eni, naʻe ʻikai te ne lea fakatotonu mai kiate au: pea ʻe ʻikai te u tali ʻaki ia ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi lea.
15 "They are amazed. They answer no more. They do not have a word to say.
“Naʻe ofo ʻakinautolu, ʻo ʻikai te nau toe lea: pea fakalongo pe.
16 Shall I wait, because they do not speak, because they stand still, and answer no more?
Pea kuo u tatali, (he naʻe ʻikai te nau lea, kae tutuʻu pe, ʻo ʻikai toe lea: )
17 I also will answer my part, and I also will show my opinion.
Pea ne u pehē, ‘Te u tali foki ʻeau ʻi hoku lakanga, te u fakahā foki hoku loto.’
18 For I am full of words. The spirit within me constrains me.
He ʻoku ou pito ʻi he ngaahi lea, ʻoku fakangaueʻi au ʻe hoku laumālie.
19 Look, my breast is as wine which has no vent; like new wineskins it is ready to burst.
Vakai, ʻoku tatau hoku loto mo e uaine taʻehanoava; ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi hina ʻoe uaine foʻou, ʻoku toe siʻi pea mahaehae.
20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed. I will open my lips and answer.
Te u lea kau fiemālie: te u faʻai hoku loungutu ʻo tali.
21 Please do not let me respect any man's person, neither will I give flattering titles to any man.
ʻOfa ke ʻoua naʻaku filifilimānako ki ha taha, pea ʻoua naʻaku ʻai ʻae hingoa fakalapu ki ha tangata.
22 For I do not know how to give flattering titles; or else my Maker would soon take me away.
He ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ke ʻai ʻae hingoa lapu; telia naʻa ʻave fakavave ai au ʻe hoku Tupuʻanga.
