Jòb 32
1 Jòb te sitèlman sèten li te inonsan, twa mesye yo kite sa, yo pa chache reponn li ankò.
So these three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2 Men, Eliyou ki te kanpe la fè yon sèl kòlè. Eliyou sa a, se pitit Barakèl, moun fanmi Bouz, nan branch fanmi Ranm lan. Li fè yon sèl kòlè sou Jòb, paske Jòb t'ap bay tèt li rezon, li t'ap bay Bondye tò.
This kindled the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram. He burned with anger against Job for justifying himself rather than God,
3 Li te ankòlè sou twa zanmi Jòb yo tou. Yo pa t' jwenn anyen pou yo reponn Jòb. Konsa, yo menm tou, se Bondye yo te bay tout tò a.
and he burned with anger against Job’s three friends because they had failed to refute Job, and yet had condemned him.
4 Antan yo twa a t'ap pale, Eliyou te rete la san di anyen, paske yo te pi gran pase l'.
Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because the others were older than he.
5 Lè li wè mesye yo pa t' jwenn anyen ankò pou reponn Jòb, li fè yon sèl kòlè.
But when he saw that the three men had no further reply, his anger was kindled.
6 Li pran lapawòl, li di konsa: -Mwen menm, se jenn gason mwen ye. Nou menm, se granmoun nou ye. Se poutèt sa mwen te yon ti jan wont. Mwen te pè antre nan koze a.
So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite declared: “I am young in years, while you are old; that is why I was timid and afraid to tell you what I know.
7 Mwen t'ap di nan kè m': Kite granmoun pale! Kite sa ki gen laj sou tèt yo mete bon konprann yo deyò.
I thought that age should speak, and many years should teach wisdom.
8 Men, pou di vre, se lespri Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a sèl ki pou antre nan tèt yon moun pou ba li bon konprann!
But there is a spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding.
9 Se pa laj ki bay moun bon konprann. Se pa cheve blan ki fè moun konnen sa ki dwat.
It is not only the old who are wise, or the elderly who understand justice.
10 Koulye a, mwen ta renmen nou koute m'. Kite m' di nou sa m' konnen sou koze a.
Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me; I too will declare what I know.’
11 Mwen tande byen tande tou sa nou di. Mwen te louvri zòrèy mwen gran louvri pou m' pa manke anyen nan pawòl nou yo, pandan n'ap chache mo pou nou di.
Indeed, I waited while you spoke; I listened to your reasoning; as you searched for words,
12 Mwen t'ap swiv sa n'ap di. Men, yonn nan nou pa rive fè Jòb fèmen bouch li. Nou yonn pa rive demanti msye.
I paid you full attention. But no one proved Job wrong; not one of you rebutted his arguments.
13 Pa vin di m' nou konprann koulye a se Bondye ki pou reponn. Lèzòm pa kapab.
So do not claim, ‘We have found wisdom; let God, not man, refute him.’
14 Se avè nou Jòb t'ap pale. Se pa avè m'. Konsa, mwen pral reponn msye yon lòt jan.
But Job has not directed his words against me, and I will not answer him with your arguments.
15 Jòb, ou wè mesye yo pa konn sa pou yo di ou. Yo pa jwenn anyen pou reponn ou ankò.
Job’s friends are dismayed, with no more to say; words have escaped them.
16 Mwen t'ap tann yo. Men, koulye a yo fèmen bouch yo. Yo sispann pale, yo pa reponn ou.
Must I wait, now that they are silent, now that they stand and no longer reply?
17 Atòkile, se mwen ki pral pale, mwen pral di ou sa m' konnen nan koze a.
I too will answer; yes, I will declare what I know.
18 Mwen plen pawòl nan bouch mwen. Si m' pa pale m'a toufe.
For I am full of words, and my spirit within me compels me.
19 Pawòl ki nan tèt mwen, ou ta di yon diven k'ap fèmante. Li prèt pou pete veso kote l' ye a.
Behold, my belly is like unvented wine; it is about to burst like a new wineskin.
20 Se pou m' pale pou m' ka soulaje konsyans mwen. Se pou m' louvri bouch mwen reponn ou.
I must speak and find relief; I must open my lips and respond.
21 Mwen p'ap pran defans pyès moun. Mwen pa pral achte figi nou yonn la a.
I will be partial to no one, nor will I flatter any man.
22 Mwen pa konn flate moun. Lèfini, si m' ta fè sa, Bondye ki kreye m' lan ta disparèt mwen lapoula.
For I do not know how to flatter, or my Maker would remove me in an instant.
