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.
Awo abasajja abo abasatu ne balekeraawo okwogera ne Yobu, kubanga yali yeeraba nga mutuukirivu.
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].
Naye Eriku, mutabani wa Balakeri Omubuzi, ow’omu kika kya Laamu, n’anyiigira nnyo Yobu olw’okweraba ng’atalina musango, naye n’anenya Katonda.
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.
Yanyiigira ne mikwano gye abasatu, kubanga baalemwa okulumiriza Yobu kyokka nga baali bamusingisizza omusango.
4 Elihu was younger than the others, so he waited [until they had finished speaking] before he replied to Job.
Eriku yali alinzeeko okwogera ne Yobu kubanga banne baali bakulu okumusinga.
5 But when Elihu realized that the three men had no more to say [MTY] to Job, he became angry.
Naye bwe yalaba ng’abasajja bano abasatu tebakyalina kirala kya kwogera, n’anyiiga.
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.
Awo Eriku mutabani wa Balakeri Omubuzi n’addamu n’ayogera nti, “Nze ndi muto mu myaka, mmwe muli bakulu, kyenavudde ntya okubabuulira kye ndowooza.
7 I thought, ‘Let those [PRS] who are much older speak, because older people [should be able to] say things that are wise.’
Nalowoozezza nti, Emyaka gye gisaanye okwogera, n’emyaka emingi gye gisaanye okuyigiriza amagezi.
8 But the Spirit of Almighty [God] is within people, and it is he who enables them to be wise.
Kyokka omwoyo oguli mu muntu, nga gwe mukka gw’oyo Ayinzabyonna, gwe guwa omuntu okutegeera.
9 It is not people becoming old that enables them to be wise; not [all] old people understand what is right.
Abakadde si be bokka abalina amagezi, wadde abakulu bokka okuba nga be bategeera ekituufu.
10 “So, I say, ‘Listen to me, and allow me to say what I think.’
“Kyenva ŋŋamba nti, Mumpulirize, nange mbabuulire kye mmanyi.
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.
Nassizzaayo omwoyo nga mwogera, nawulirizza ensonga ze mwawadde nga munoonya eby’okwogera.
12 I paid attention carefully, but surprisingly, none of you were able to prove that what Job said was wrong.
Nabawulirizza bulungi. Kyokka tewali n’omu ku mmwe yalaze Yobu bw’ali omukyamu; tewali n’omu ku mmwe eyayanukudde ebigambo bye.
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.
Mwegendereze temugamba nti, ‘Tusanze omuntu ow’amagezi; muleke Katonda amuwangule so si bantu.’
14 Job was replying to you, [not to me], but I will not reply to him by saying what you three said.
Kyokka Yobu ebigambo bye tabyolekezza nze, era sijja kumuddamu na bigambo byammwe.
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].
“Basobeddwa, tebalina kya kwogera, ebigambo bibaweddeko.
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.
Kaakano nsirike busirisi, nga bayimiridde buyimirizi, nga tebalina kye boogera?
17 So [now] I also will reply [to Job] and say what I think.
Nange nnina eky’okwogera, era nnaayogera kye mmanyi,
18 I have plenty to say, and my spirit compels me to say it.
kubanga nzijjudde ebigambo, era omwoyo ogwange gumpaliriza okwogera.
19 My inner being is like [SIM] a (wineskin/bag that has (new/fermenting) wine in it), and it will soon burst.
Munda mu nze omutima guli nga wayini, asaanikiddwa mu ccupa, ng’amaliba amaggya agalindiridde okwabika.
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].
Nteekwa okwogera, nsobole okufuna eddembe, nteekwa okwasamya akamwa kange mbeeko kye njogera.
21 I will speak [fairly], not favoring any of you, and I will not try to flatter anyone.
Sijja kubaako gwe nkwatirwa nsonyi, era sijja na kuwaana muntu yenna.
22 I [really] do not know how to flatter people; and if I did that, God would soon get rid of me.”
Kubanga singa mpaaniriza, Omutonzi wange yandyanguye okunziggyawo.”
