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.
Konsa, twa mesye sila yo te sispann reponn Job, akoz li te dwat nan pwòp zye pa li.
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].
Men kòlè a Élihu, fis a Barakeel la, Bizit nan fanmi a Ram nan, te brile kont Job. Kòlè li te brile paske li te jistifye pwòp tèt li devan Bondye.
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.
Epi kòlè li te brile kont twa zanmi li yo akoz yo pa t jwenn bon repons, men karema, yo te kondane Job.
4 Elihu was younger than the others, so he waited [until they had finished speaking] before he replied to Job.
Alò, Élihu te tann yo fini pou pale ak Job, akoz yo menm te gen anpil ane pi gran pase li.
5 But when Elihu realized that the three men had no more to say [MTY] to Job, he became angry.
Konsa, lè Élihu te wè ke pa t gen repons ki rete nan bouch a twa mesye yo, kòlè li te brile.
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.
Pou sa, Élihu, fis a Barakeel la, Bizit la, te pale klè. Li te di: “Mwen jèn selon ane yo, e nou menm, nou granmoun. Akoz sa a, mwen te krent pou di nou sa ke m t ap panse a.
7 I thought, ‘Let those [PRS] who are much older speak, because older people [should be able to] say things that are wise.’
Mwen te reflechi ke se laj ki te dwe pale, ke anpil ane yo ta dwe bay sajès.
8 But the Spirit of Almighty [God] is within people, and it is he who enables them to be wise.
Men se yon lespri ki nan lòm, e se souf a Toupwisan an ki bay yo bonkonprann.
9 It is not people becoming old that enables them to be wise; not [all] old people understand what is right.
Anpil ane pa vle di saj, ni pa fwa, se pa granmoun ki konprann sa ki dwat.
10 “So, I say, ‘Listen to me, and allow me to say what I think.’
Pou sa, mwen di nou ‘koute mwen; mwen menm tou va di nou sa ke m panse.’
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.
“Gade byen, mwen te tann pawòl nou yo. Mwen te koute byen rezonman pa nou yo, pandan nou t ap reflechi sou sa pou nou ta di.
12 I paid attention carefully, but surprisingly, none of you were able to prove that what Job said was wrong.
Menm mwen te swiv nou byen pre; anverite, pa t gen pèsòn ki te vin genyen Job. Nanpwen moun ki te byen reponn pawòl li yo.
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.
Pran atansyon nou pa di: ‘Nou jwenn sajès. Se Bondye ki pou korije l, se pa lòm.’
14 Job was replying to you, [not to me], but I will not reply to him by saying what you three said.
Paske pawòl li yo pa t pale kont mwen menm, ni mwen p ap reponn li ak diskou pa nou yo.
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].
“Yo etonnen nèt; yo pa reponn ankò. Yo pa gen mo ki pou di.
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.
Èske se tann, pou m ta tann akoz yo pa pale? Akoz yo rete e pa reponn ankò?
17 So [now] I also will reply [to Job] and say what I think.
Mwen menm tou va reponn pou kont mwen, mwen osi va bay pozisyon pa m.
18 I have plenty to say, and my spirit compels me to say it.
Paske mwen chaje ak pawòl. Lespri m anndan mwen bourade m.
19 My inner being is like [SIM] a (wineskin/bag that has (new/fermenting) wine in it), and it will soon burst.
Men gade, lestonmak mwen tankou diven san mwayen respire; tankou po diven nèf, li prèt menm pou pete.
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].
Kite mwen pale pou m kab jwenn soulajman; kite mwen ouvri lèv mwen pou bay repons.
21 I will speak [fairly], not favoring any of you, and I will not try to flatter anyone.
Alò, pa kite mwen pran pati a okenn moun, ni flate pèsòn.
22 I [really] do not know how to flatter people; and if I did that, God would soon get rid of me.”
Paske mwen pa konn flate moun, sof Sila ki kreye mwen an, ta vin ranmase m fè m ale.”
