Yobu 32
1 Awo abasajja abo abasatu ne balekeraawo okwogera ne Yobu, kubanga yali yeeraba nga mutuukirivu.
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2 Naye Eriku, mutabani wa Balakeri Omubuzi, ow’omu kika kya Laamu, n’anyiigira nnyo Yobu olw’okweraba ng’atalina musango, naye n’anenya Katonda.
Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu, the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job was his wrath kindled, because he accounted himself righteous rather than God.
3 Yanyiigira ne mikwano gye abasatu, kubanga baalemwa okulumiriza Yobu kyokka nga baali bamusingisizza omusango.
Against his three friends also was his wrath kindled, because they had not found an answer, and yet had condemned Job.
4 Eriku yali alinzeeko okwogera ne Yobu kubanga banne baali bakulu okumusinga.
Now Elihu had delayed to reply to Job, because they were older than himself.
5 Naye bwe yalaba ng’abasajja bano abasatu tebakyalina kirala kya kwogera, n’anyiiga.
But when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
6 Awo Eriku mutabani wa Balakeri Omubuzi n’addamu n’ayogera nti, “Nze ndi muto mu myaka, mmwe muli bakulu, kyenavudde ntya okubabuulira kye ndowooza.
Then spake Elihu, the son of Barachel, the Buzite, and said: I am young, and ye are very old; Therefore I was afraid, And durst not make known to you my opinion.
7 Nalowoozezza nti, Emyaka gye gisaanye okwogera, n’emyaka emingi gye gisaanye okuyigiriza amagezi.
I said, “Days should speak, And the multitude of years should teach wisdom.”
8 Kyokka omwoyo oguli mu muntu, nga gwe mukka gw’oyo Ayinzabyonna, gwe guwa omuntu okutegeera.
But it is the spirit in man, Even the inspiration of the Almighty, that giveth him understanding.
9 Abakadde si be bokka abalina amagezi, wadde abakulu bokka okuba nga be bategeera ekituufu.
Great men are not always wise, Nor do the aged always understand what is right.
10 “Kyenva ŋŋamba nti, Mumpulirize, nange mbabuulire kye mmanyi.
Therefore, I pray, listen to me: I also will declare my opinion.
11 Nassizzaayo omwoyo nga mwogera, nawulirizza ensonga ze mwawadde nga munoonya eby’okwogera.
Behold, I have waited for your words, I have listened to your arguments, Whilst ye searched out what to say;
12 Nabawulirizza bulungi. Kyokka tewali n’omu ku mmwe yalaze Yobu bw’ali omukyamu; tewali n’omu ku mmwe eyayanukudde ebigambo bye.
Yea, I have attended to you; And behold, none of you hath refuted Job, Nor answered his words.
13 Mwegendereze temugamba nti, ‘Tusanze omuntu ow’amagezi; muleke Katonda amuwangule so si bantu.’
Say not, then, “We have found out wisdom; God must conquer him, not man.”
14 Kyokka Yobu ebigambo bye tabyolekezza nze, era sijja kumuddamu na bigambo byammwe.
He hath not directed his discourse against me, And with speeches like yours will I not answer him.
15 “Basobeddwa, tebalina kya kwogera, ebigambo bibaweddeko.
They were confounded! they answered no more! They could say nothing!
16 Kaakano nsirike busirisi, nga bayimiridde buyimirizi, nga tebalina kye boogera?
I waited, but they spake not; They stood still; they answered no more!
17 Nange nnina eky’okwogera, era nnaayogera kye mmanyi,
Therefore will I answer, on my part; I also will show my opinion.
18 kubanga nzijjudde ebigambo, era omwoyo ogwange gumpaliriza okwogera.
For I am full of matter; The spirit within me constraineth me.
19 Munda mu nze omutima guli nga wayini, asaanikiddwa mu ccupa, ng’amaliba amaggya agalindiridde okwabika.
Behold, my bosom is as wine that hath no vent; Like bottles of new wine, which are bursting.
20 Nteekwa okwogera, nsobole okufuna eddembe, nteekwa okwasamya akamwa kange mbeeko kye njogera.
I will speak, that I may be relieved; I will open my lips and answer.
21 Sijja kubaako gwe nkwatirwa nsonyi, era sijja na kuwaana muntu yenna.
I will not be partial to any man's person, Nor will I flatter any man.
22 Kubanga singa mpaaniriza, Omutonzi wange yandyanguye okunziggyawo.”
For I know not how to flatter; Soon would my Maker take me away.
