Job 32
1 Then those three men stopped answering Job, because [they could not convince Job that he was wrong in claiming that] he had not done anything that was wrong.
Omiyo ji adekgi noweyo dwokore gi Ayub, nikech noparo ni en ngʼama kare.
2 Then Elihu, the son of Barachel, a descendant of Buz, from the clan of Ram, became very angry at Job. He was angry because Job continued to claim that he was righteous/innocent, and that God was wrong [to punish him].
To Elihu wuod Barakel ja-Buz, mane wuok e anywola mar Ram ne iye owangʼ gi Ayub nikech nopwoyore kende owuon kaka ngʼat makare, ka ok oweyo Nyasaye ema mondo opwoye.
3 He was also angry with Job’s three friends, because they had declared that Job must have done many things that were wrong, but they were unable to convince Job [that what they said was true]. As a result, [it seemed to Elihu that] God did what was wrong by punishing Job.
Iye nowangʼ bende gi osiepe Ayub adek nikech negisiko mana ka gingʼado ne Ayub bura, to kata obedo nine oonge ketho.
4 Elihu was younger than the others, so he waited [until they had finished speaking] before he replied to Job.
Elihu norito mondi eka oloso gi Ayub nikech ne en ngʼama tin e diergi.
5 But when Elihu realized that the three men had no more to say [MTY] to Job, he became angry.
To kane oneno ka ji adekgo osewuoyo mi wechegi orumo, to mirima nomake.
6 And this is what he said: “I am young, and you all are much older than I am. So, I was timid, and I was afraid to tell you what I was thinking.
Eka Elihu wuod Barakel ja-Buz nowacho kama: “An atin kuom higni, kendo un joma dongona; mano emomiyo naluor, kendo ne ok an gichir mar nyisou gima angʼeyo.
7 I thought, ‘Let those [PRS] who are much older speak, because older people [should be able to] say things that are wise.’
Naparo e chunya ni, ‘Higa ema mondo owuo; kendo dak amingʼa e piny ema mondo opuonj rieko!’
8 But the Spirit of Almighty [God] is within people, and it is he who enables them to be wise.
To ngʼeuru ni chuny manie i dhano, ma en much Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ema miyo dhano winjo tiend weche.
9 It is not people becoming old that enables them to be wise; not [all] old people understand what is right.
Jomadongo kende ok ema nigi rieko, kata ok ni joma hikgi ngʼeny ema nigi ongʼeyo gima kare.
10 “So, I say, ‘Listen to me, and allow me to say what I think.’
“Kuom mano, awacho kama: Winjauru; an bende koro adwaro nyisou gima angʼeyo.
11 I waited for you all to speak; I wanted to hear the wise things that you would say. I waited while you thought carefully about what [would be the right things] to say.
Uwinjo, ne arito mondi kane uwuoyo, ne achiko ita ne wecheu mukwano ni nigi rieko; kinde mane umanyo weche monego uwachi,
12 I paid attention carefully, but surprisingly, none of you were able to prove that what Job said was wrong.
ne achikonu ita adimba kinde mane uwuoyo, to onge ngʼato kuomu moseyudo Ayub gi ketho; kendo onge ngʼato kuomu mosedwoko weche Ayub.
13 So, do not say [to yourselves], ‘We have discovered what is wise!’ It is God who must (refute Job/show that what Job said was wrong), because you three have not been able to do that.
Kik uwach ni, ‘Ngʼatni riek motamo wangʼwa, Nyasaye ema mondo okwere, to ok dhano!’
14 Job was replying to you, [not to me], but I will not reply to him by saying what you three said.
To Ayub pod ok omino koda wach, omiyo ok abi dwoke kaka usebedo ka uduokeno.
15 “You three are dismayed [because you have not been able to convince him that he was wrong], so you are not saying any more to him [DOU].
“Jogi dhogi omoko, gionge gima ginyalo dwoko; weche orumonegi.
16 But because you do not speak, I certainly will not wait any longer [RHQ]; you merely stand there and do not reply any more.
Gichungʼ achungʼa maonge gima giwachi, koro pod arit arita kata obedo ni gilingʼ kamano?
17 So [now] I also will reply [to Job] and say what I think.
An bende koro abiro wacho makora; kendo abiro nyisi gima angʼeyo.
18 I have plenty to say, and my spirit compels me to say it.
Nikech weche opongʼo chunya, kendo gichuna nyaka anyisigi;
19 My inner being is like [SIM] a (wineskin/bag that has (new/fermenting) wine in it), and it will soon burst.
bende achalo gi chupa ma divai opongʼo iye kendo ka pien divai manyien madwaro barore.
20 I must speak [MTY], in order that I do not have to keep holding what I want to say; I must say something [MTY] to reply [to you all].
Nyaka awuo eka abed gi kwe; omiyo nyaka adwoki.
21 I will speak [fairly], not favoring any of you, and I will not try to flatter anyone.
Ok abi dewo wangʼ ngʼato bende ok abi wuondo ngʼato;
22 I [really] do not know how to flatter people; and if I did that, God would soon get rid of me.”
nikech ka dine bed ni alony e wuondo ji to Jachwechna ditieka piyo nono.
