Hiob 32
1 Ale ŋutsu etɔ̃ siawo dzudzɔ nyaŋuɖoɖo na Hiob, elabena enye ame dzɔdzɔe le eya ŋutɔ ŋkume.
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he seemed just to himself.
2 Tete dzi ku Buzitɔ, Elihu, ame si nye Barakel ƒe vi, tso Ram ƒe ƒomea me vevie ɖe Hiob ŋu le esi wòbu eɖokui dzɔdzɔetɔe wu Mawu la ta.
And Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, was angry and was moved to indignation: now he was angry against Job, because he said he was just before God.
3 Edo dziku ɖe exɔlɔ̃ etɔ̃awo hã ŋu elabena mɔ aɖeke meli si dzi woato abu fɔ Hiob o, gake wobu fɔe.
And he was angry with his friends because they had not found a reasonable answer, but only had condemned Job.
4 Azɔ la, Elihu lala be yeaƒo nu na Hiob elabena wotsi wui.
So Eliu waited while Job was speaking, because they were his elders that were speaking.
5 Gake esi wòkpɔ be nya aɖeke megale ame etɔ̃awo si o la, Elihu gado dziku ɖe edzi.
But when he saw that the three were not able to answer, he was exceedingly angry.
6 Ale Buzitɔ, Barakel ƒe vi Elihu gblɔ be, “Nyemetsi o, mienye xoxo nam eya ta mevɔ̃ eye nyemete ŋu do dzi gblɔ nu si menya la na mi o.
Then Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said: I am younger in days, and you are more ancient; therefore hanging down my head, I was afraid to shew you my opinion.
7 Mebu be, ‘Tsitsi neƒo nu eye ƒe geɖe nefia nunya.’
For I hoped that greater age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom.
8 Gake gbɔgbɔ si le ame me, Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ƒe gbɔgbɔe naa gɔmesesee.
But, as I see, there is a spirit in men, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth understanding.
9 Menye tsitsiawo koe nye nunyalawo o eye menye amegãxoxowo koe se nu si le dzɔdzɔe la gɔme o.
They that are aged are not the wise men, neither do the ancients understand judgment.
10 “Eya ta megblɔ be, Miɖo tom, nye hã magblɔ nu si menya la na mi.
Therefore I will speak: Hearken to me, I also will shew you my wisdom.
11 Menɔ lalam esi mienɔ nu ƒom, meɖo to se miaƒe nyameɖeɖewo kple ale si nya vɔ le mia si eye mienɔ nya si miagblɔ la dim.
For I have waited for your words, I have given ear to your wisdom, as long as you were disputing in words.
12 Meɖo to mi nyuie gake mia dometɔ aɖeke mete ŋu ɖee fia be Hiob dze agɔ o eye mia dometɔ aɖeke mete ŋu ɖo eƒe nyahehewo ŋu o.
And as long as I thought you said some thing, I considered: but, as I see, there is none of you that can convince Job, and answer his words.
13 Migagblɔ be, ‘Míeke ɖe nunya ŋuti o, Mawu neɖe vodada nɛ, menye amegbetɔ o.’
Lest you should say: We have found wisdom, God hath cast him down, not man.
14 Gake Hiob metsɔ nya ɖe ŋunye o eye nyematsɔ miaƒe nyahehewo aɖo nya ŋu nɛ o.
He hath spoken nothing to me, and I will not answer him according to your words.
15 “Woƒe mo wɔ yaa, nya aɖeke megale wo si woagblɔ o eye gbɔgblɔ bu ɖe wo.
They were afraid, and answered no more, and they left off speaking.
16 Ɖe magalala, esi wozi ɖoɖoe eye azɔ wotsi tsitre ɖe afi ma kpaɖii nya aɖeke ŋu maɖomaɖoea?
Therefore because I have waited, and they have not spoken: they stood, and answered no more:
17 Nye hã magblɔ tɔnye sinua; nye hã magblɔ nu si menya
I also will answer my part, and will shew my knowledge.
18 elabena nya le asinye fũu, eye nye gbɔgbɔ le dzinye zim.
For I am full of matter to speak of, and the spirit of my bowels straiteneth me.
19 Elabena le menye la, mele abe wain si le goe me wotu nu ɖe enu ene eye abe wainlãgbalẽgolo si le klalo na gbagbã ene.
Behold, my belly is as new wine which wanteth vent, which bursteth the new vessels.
20 Ele nam be maƒo nu ne makpɔ gbɔdzɔe, ele nam be make nye nu eye maɖo nya ŋu.
I will speak and take breath a little: I will open my lips, and will answer.
21 Nyemade ame aɖeke dzi alo aflu ame aɖeke o
I will not accept the person of man, and I will not level God with man.
22 elabena ne mebi le amefuflu me la, nye Wɔla akplɔm dzoe kpuie.
For I know not how long I shall continue, and whether after a while my Maker may take me away.
