< Job 32 >

1 Nagsardeng ngarud dagiti tallo a lallaki a mangsungsungbat kenni Job gapu ta nalinteg isuna iti bukodna mata.
So these three men stopped answering Job because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2 Ket narubruban ti pungtot ni Elihu nga anak ni Barakel ti Bucita, a nagtaud iti pamilya ni Ram; narubruban daytoy maibusor kenni Job gapu ta inkalinteganna ti bagina imbes a ti Dios.
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.
3 Narubruban pay ti pungtot ni Elihu maibusor kadagiti tallo a gagayyemna gapu ta awan masarakanda a maisungbat kenni Job, ngem pinabasolda latta ni Job.
Elihu's anger was also kindled against his three friends because they had found no answer to Job, and yet they had condemned Job.
4 Ita naguray ni Elihu a makisao kenni Job gapu ta natataengan dagiti dadduma a lallaki ngem isuna.
Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because the other men were older than he.
5 Nupay kasta, idi nakita ni Elihu nga awan maisungbat dagiti a tallo a lallaki, narubruban ti ungetna.
However, when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouths of these three men, his anger was kindled.
6 Ket nagsao ni Elihu nga anak ni Barakel, ti Bucita ket kinunana, “Ubingak pay ket lallakaykayon. Dayta ti makagapu a nagteppelak ket saanko a ginandat nga ibaga ti bukodko a kapanunotan.
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.
7 Kinunak, “Ti kaatiddog dagiti aldaw ti rumbeng nga agsao; ti kaadu dagiti tawen ti rumbeng a mangisuro ti kinasirib.
I said, “Length of days should speak; a multitude of years should teach wisdom.
8 Ngem adda espiritu iti maysa a tao: ti anges ti Mannakabalin amin ti mangmangted kenkuana iti pannakaawat.
But there is a spirit in a man; the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.
9 Saan laeng a dagiti natan-ok a tattao ti masisirib, wenno dagiti laeng natataengan a tattao ti makaawat iti hustisia.
It is not only the great people who are wise, nor the aged people alone who understand justice.
10 Ibagak ngarud kadakayo, 'Dumngekayo kaniak; ibagak met kadakayo ti pannakaammok.'
Therefore I say to you, 'Listen to me; I will also tell you my knowledge.'
11 Kitaenyo, inurayko dagiti saoyo; dimngegak kadagiti panagsusuppiatyo bayat a panpanunotenyo ti ibagayo.
See, I waited for your words; I listened to your arguments while you were thinking about what to say.
12 Pudno, dimngegak kadakayo, ngem, kitaenyo, awan uray maysa kadakayo ti makaallukoy kenni Job wenno makasungbat kadagiti sasaona.
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.
13 Agannadkayo a saanyo nga ibaga, 'Nasarakanmin ti kinasirib!' Masapul a ti Dios ti mangparmek kenni Job; saan a maaramid ti tao daytoy.
Be careful not to say, 'We have found wisdom!' God will have to defeat Job; mere man cannot do it.
14 Ta saan nga inturong ni Job dagiti sasaona maibusor kaniak, isu a saanko a sungbatan isuna kadagiti sasaoyo.
For Job has not directed his words against me, so I will not answer him with your words.
15 Awanen ti naibaga dagiti tallo a lallaki; saandan a masungbatan ni Job; awanen ti sao a maibagada.
These three men are dumbfounded; they can answer Job no longer; they have not a word more to say.
16 Rumbeng kadi nga agurayak gapu ta saandan nga agsasao, gapu ta nakatakderda idiay a siuulimek ket awanen ti maisungbatda?
Should I wait because they are not speaking, because they stand there silent and answer no more?
17 Saan, sumungbatak met; ibagak met kadakuada ti kapanunotak.
No, I also will answer on my part; I will also tell them my knowledge.
18 Ta napnoanak kadagiti sasao; pilpilitennak ti espiritu nga adda kaniak.
For I am full of words; the spirit in me compels me.
19 Kitaenyo, ti barukongko ket kasla mapapaingel nga arak nga awan ti pagsingawanna; kasla baro a supot ti arak, nakasaganan a bumtak.
See, my breast is like fermenting wine that has no vent; like new wineskins, it is ready to burst.
20 Agsaoak tapno mabang-arannak; iyungapko dagiti bibigko ket sumungbatak.
I will speak so that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer.
21 Saanak a mangipakita iti panangidumduma; wenno saanak a mangted iti pammadayaw iti siasinoman a tao.
I will not show favoritism; neither will I give honorific titles to any man.
22 Ta saanko nga ammo ti mangted iti kasta a pammadayaw; no inaramidko daytoy, iti mabiit, alaennakton ti Namarsua kaniak.
For I do not know how to give such titles; if I did so, my Maker would soon take me away.
