Job 32
1 So these three men stopped answering Job because he was righteous in his own eyes.
Tsono anthu atatuwa analeka kumuyankha Yobu, chifukwa chakuti iyeyo ankadziona kuti ndi wolungama.
2 Then was kindled the anger of Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite, of the family of Ram; it was kindled against Job because he justified himself rather than God.
Koma Elihu, mwana wa Barakeli, wa fuko la Buzi, wa banja la Ramu, anapsera mtima kwambiri Yobu chifukwa choti Yobuyo anakana kuvomera kuti anachimwa ndi kuti Mulungu anakhoza pomulanga.
3 Elihu's anger was also kindled against his three friends because they had found no answer to Job, and yet they had condemned Job.
Anapseranso mtima abwenzi ake atatu aja chifukwa sanapeze njira yomutsutsira Yobu, ngakhale iwo anamupeza kuti anali wolakwa.
4 Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because the other men were older than he.
Tsono Elihu anadikira kuti ayankhule ndi Yobu chifukwa choti abwenziwo anali akuluakulu kupambana iyeyo.
5 However, when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouths of these three men, his anger was kindled.
Koma Elihu ataona kuti anthu atatuwo analibe mawu oti ayankhulenso, iye anapsa mtima.
6 Then Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite spoke up and said, “I am young, and you are very old. That is why I held back and did not dare to tell you my own opinion.
Choncho Elihu mwana wa Barakeli wa fuko la Buzi anati: “Ine ndine wamngʼono, inuyo ndinu akuluakulu, nʼchifukwa chake ndimaopa, ndimachita mantha kuti ndikuwuzeni zimene ndimadziwa.
7 I said, “Length of days should speak; a multitude of years should teach wisdom.
Ndimaganiza kuti, ‘Ayambe ndi akuluakulu kuyankhula; anthu amvulazakale ndiwo amaphunzitsa nzeru.’
8 But there is a spirit in a man; the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.
Koma mzimu wa Mulungu mwa munthu, mpweya wa Wamphamvuzonse, ndi umene umapereka nzeru zomvetsa zinthu.
9 It is not only the great people who are wise, nor the aged people alone who understand justice.
Si okalamba amene ali ndi nzeru, si amvulazakale okha amene ali ndi nzeru zomvetsa zinthu zimene zili zoyenera.
10 Therefore I say to you, 'Listen to me; I will also tell you my knowledge.'
“Nʼchifukwa chake ndikuti, ‘Mvereni; inenso ndikukuwuzani zimene ndikuzidziwa.’
11 See, I waited for your words; I listened to your arguments while you were thinking about what to say.
Ndadikira nthawi yonseyi, ndimamvetsera mwachidwi zimene mumayankhula, pamene mumafunafuna mawu oti muyankhule,
12 Indeed, I paid attention to you, but, see, there was not one of you who could convince Job or who could respond to his words.
ineyo ndinakumvetseranidi. Koma palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe wa inu amene anatsutsa Yobu; palibe aliyense wa inu amene anamuyankha mawu ake.
13 Be careful not to say, 'We have found wisdom!' God will have to defeat Job; mere man cannot do it.
Musanene kuti, ‘Ife tapeza nzeru; Mulungu ndiye amutsutse, osati munthu.’
14 For Job has not directed his words against me, so I will not answer him with your words.
Koma Yobu sanayankhule motsutsana ndi ine, ndipo ine sindimuyankha monga mmene inu mwamuyankhira.
15 These three men are dumbfounded; they can answer Job no longer; they have not a word more to say.
“Iwo asokonezeka ndipo alibe choti ayankhulenso; mawu awathera.
16 Should I wait because they are not speaking, because they stand there silent and answer no more?
Kodi ine ndidikire chifukwa iwo sakuyankhula tsopano, pakuti angoyima phee wopanda yankho?
17 No, I also will answer on my part; I will also tell them my knowledge.
Inenso ndiyankhulapo tsopano; nanenso ndinena zimene ndikudziwa.
18 For I am full of words; the spirit in me compels me.
Pakuti ndili nawo mawu ambiri, ndipo mtima wanga ukundikakamiza;
19 See, my breast is like fermenting wine that has no vent; like new wineskins, it is ready to burst.
mʼkati mwanga ndili ngati botolo lodzaza ndi vinyo, ngati matumba a vinyo watsopano amene ali pafupi kuphulika.
20 I will speak so that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer.
Ndiyenera kuyankhula kuti mtima utsike; ndiyenera kutsekula pakamwa panga ndi kuyankha.
21 I will not show favoritism; neither will I give honorific titles to any man.
Sindidzakondera munthu wina aliyense, kapena kuyankhula zoshashalika,
22 For I do not know how to give such titles; if I did so, my Maker would soon take me away.
pakuti ndikanakhala wa luso loyankhula moshashalika, Mlengi wanga akanandilanga msanga.”
