Iyyoob 32
1 Sababii Iyyoob nama qajeelaa of seʼeef namoonni sadan kunneen deebii kennuufii dhiisan.
So these three men stopped answering Job because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2 Eliihuun ilmi Barakeel Buuzichi maatiin Raamii sun garuu sababii Iyyoob qooda Waaqaa qajeelaa of godheef akka malee itti aare.
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 Akkasumas sababii isaan Iyyoobitti muruu malee deebii hin qabaatiniif Eeliihuun michoota Iyyoob sadanitti akka malee aare.
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 Eliihuun waan namoonni sun umuriidhaan isa caalaniif utuu dursee Iyyoobitti hin dubbatin ture.
Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because the other men were older than he.
5 Garuu yeroo akka namoonni sun sadan waan dubbatan dhaban argetti aariin isaa ittuma caale.
However, when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouths of these three men, his anger was kindled.
6 Kanaafuu Eliihuun ilmi Barakeel Buuzichaa sun akkana jedhe: “Ani umuriidhaan xinnaa dha; isin garuu jaarsolii dha; kanaafuu ani yaada koo isinitti himuu nan saalfadhe; nan sodaadhes.
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 Ani, ‘Umuriin ni dubbata; barri dheeraanis ogummaa barsiisa’ jedhee yaadeen ture.
I said, “Length of days should speak; a multitude of years should teach wisdom.
8 Garuu hafuura nama keessa jiru, hafuura Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu itti baafatutu hubannaa kennaaf.
But there is a spirit in a man; the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.
9 Ogeessi jaarsa qofa miti; kan waan qajeelaa hubatus, nama umurii dheeraa qofa miti.
It is not only the great people who are wise, nor the aged people alone who understand justice.
10 “Kanaafuu ani akkana nan jedhaa na dhaggeeffadhaa; anis waanan beeku isinitti nan hima.
Therefore I say to you, 'Listen to me; I will also tell you my knowledge.'
11 Ani yeroo isin dubbattan nan obse; yeroo isin jechoota filattanitti illee ani dubbii ogummaa kan isin dubbattan nan dhaggeeffadhe;
See, I waited for your words; I listened to your arguments while you were thinking about what to say.
12 ani qalbeeffadheen isin dhagaʼe. Garuu isin keessaa namni tokko iyyuu akka inni dogoggore Iyyoobin hin amansiifne; namni tokko iyyuu falmii isaatiif deebii hin kennine.
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 Isin, ‘Nu ogummaa arganneerra; nama utuu hin taʼin, Waaqni isa irra haa aanu’ hin jedhinaa.
Be careful not to say, 'We have found wisdom!' God will have to defeat Job; mere man cannot do it.
14 Iyyoob garuu dubbii isaatiin na hin tuqne; anis falmii keessaniin deebii isaaf hin kennu.
For Job has not directed his words against me, so I will not answer him with your words.
15 “Isaan abdii kutatanii waan jedhan dhaban; dubbiinis isaan harkaa badde.
These three men are dumbfounded; they can answer Job no longer; they have not a word more to say.
16 Erga isaan calʼisanii, erga isaan deebii kennan tokko illee dhabanii achi dhadhaabatanii, ani eeguun qabaa?
Should I wait because they are not speaking, because they stand there silent and answer no more?
17 Ani deebii koo nan kenna; waanan beeku nan hima.
No, I also will answer on my part; I will also tell them my knowledge.
18 Dubbiin na keessa guuteeraatii; hafuurri na keessa jirus na kakaasa;
For I am full of words; the spirit in me compels me.
19 garaan koo akkuma daadhii wayinii kan qadaadamee, akkuma qalqalloo daadhii wayinii haaraa dhoʼuun gaʼeetii.
See, my breast is like fermenting wine that has no vent; like new wineskins, it is ready to burst.
20 Ani dubbadhee qabbaneeffachuun qaba; afaan koo banadhees deebii kennuun qaba.
I will speak so that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer.
21 Ani nama wal hin caalchisu; yookaan nama tokko iyyuu hin saadu.
I will not show favoritism; neither will I give honorific titles to any man.
22 Utuu ani nama saaduu beekee, Uumaan koo silaa dafee lafa irraa na balleessa ture.
For I do not know how to give such titles; if I did so, my Maker would soon take me away.
