Job 32
1 So these three men ceased to respond to Job, because, he, was righteous in their eyes.
Lawomadoda amathathu aseyekela ukumphendula uJobe, ngoba wayelungile emehlweni akhe.
2 Then was kindled the anger of Elihu, son of Barachel the Buzite of the family of Ram, —against Job, was kindled his anger, because he justified his own soul rather than God;
Lwaseluvutha ulaka lukaElihu indodana kaBarakeli umBuzi, owosendo lukaRamu. Ulaka lwakhe lwavuthela uJobe ngoba wazilungisisa yena kuloNkulunkulu.
3 and, against his three friends, was kindled his anger, —because that they found not a response, and condemned God.
Ulaka lwakhe lwabavuthela labo abangane bakhe abathathu, ngoba bengatholanga impendulo, kube kanti bamlahla uJobe.
4 But, Elihu, had waited for Job with words, because the others were older than he.
Kodwa UElihu wayelindele uJobe ekhuluma, ngoba babebadala ngensuku kulaye.
5 Howbeit, when Elihu saw that there was no response in the mouth of the three men, then was kindled his anger.
UElihu esebonile ukuthi kwakungelampendulo emlonyeni walamadoda amathathu, ulaka lwakhe lwaseluvutha.
6 So then Elihu, son of Barachel, the Buzite, responded and said: —Young, am I, whereas, ye, are aged, For this cause, I faltered, and feared—to shew my knowledge unto you:
Ngakho uElihu indodana kaBarakeli umBuzi waphendula wathi: Mina ngingomncinyane ngezinsuku, lina-ke libadala; ngenxa yalokhu bengithikaza, ngesaba ukulitshela umcabango wami.
7 I said, Days, should speak, —and, the multitude of years, should make known wisdom.
Ngathi: Kakukhulume izinsuku, lobunengi beminyaka bazise inhlakanipho.
8 Yet surely, there is a spirit in men, and, the inspiration of the Almighty, giveth them understanding;
Isibili umoya ukhona emuntwini, lokuphefumulela kukaSomandla kuyabanika ukuqedisisa.
9 Great men, may not be wise, nor, elders, understand justice.
Abakhulu kabahlakaniphi ngezikhathi zonke, labalupheleyo kabaqedisisi isahlulelo.
10 Therefore, I said, Hearken unto me, I will show my knowledge—even I.
Ngakho ngithi: Lalelani kimi; lami ngizatshengisa umcabango wami.
11 Lo! I waited for your words, I kept giving ear for your reasons, until ye should search out what to say;
Khangelani, bengiwalindele amazwi enu, ngabeka indlebe ekukhulumeni kwenu okuhlakaniphileyo, lisadinga amazwi.
12 Yea, unto you, gave I diligent heed, —But lo! there was, for Job, nothing to convince, nor could you of you answer his speeches.
Yebo, ngalilalela, khangelani-ke, kakho phakathi kwenu omvumisileyo uJobe, owaphenduleyo amazwi akhe.
13 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom. GOD, must put him to flight, not man.
Hlezi lithi: Sitholile inhlakanipho; nguNkulunkulu ozamxotsha, hatshi umuntu.
14 Since he directed not to me discourse, therefore, with your speeches, will I not reply to him.
Kodwa kangihlelelanga amazwi, langamazwi enu kangiyikumphendula.
15 They were dismayed, they responded no more, they suffered speech to forsake them;
Badideka, kabasaphendulanga, basusa amazwi kubo.
16 Though I waited, yet could they not speak, Surely they came to a stand, they responded no more.
Ngasengilinda, kodwa kabakhulumanga, ngoba bema, kabasaphendulanga.
17 I will respond, even I—on my part, I will shew my knowledge, even I!
Lami ngizaphendula ingxenye yami, lami ngitshengise umcabango wami.
18 For I am full of discourse, The spirit in my bosom, presseth me on.
Ngoba ngigcwele amazwi, umoya wesisu sami uyangiqhubezela.
19 Lo! my bosom, is like wine not opened, Like new wine-skins, it will burst.
Khangelani, isisu sami sinjengewayini engavulwanga, njengemigodla emitsha sizadabuka.
20 I will speak, that I may freely breathe, I will open my lips and respond.
Ngizakhuluma ukuze ngiphefumule; ngivule indebe zami, ngiphendule.
21 Let me be partial to no man, and, unto no son of earth, give flattering titles,
Ake ngingaphakamisi ubuso bomuntu, ngingabizi umuntu ngebizo lokubamba amehlo.
22 Surely I know not how to give flattering titles, How soon might my Maker take me away!
Ngoba kangikwazi ukunika amabizo okubamba amehlo; masinyane umenzi wami angangisusa.
