Ayubu 32
1 Hivyo hawa watu watatu walikoma kumjibu Ayubu kwasababu alikuwa ni mwenye haki katika macho yake mwenyewe.
So these three men ceased to answere Iob, because he esteemed himselfe iust.
2 Ndipo iliwaka hasira ya Elihu mwana wa Barakeli Mbuzi, wa familia ya Ramu, iliwaka dhidi ya Ayubu kwa kuwa alijihesabia haki mwenyewe kuliko Mungu.
Then the wrath of Elihu the sonne of Barachel the Buzite, of the familie of Ram, was kindled: his wrath, I say, was kindled against Iob, because he iustified himselfe more then God.
3 Hasira ya Elihu iliwaka pia kinyume cha marafiki zake watatu kwasababu hawakupata jibu kwa ajili ya Ayubu, na bado walimhukumu Ayubu.
Also his anger was kindled against his three friends, because they could not finde an answere, and yet condemned Iob.
4 Sasa Elihu alikuwa amemsubiri Ayubu ili aweze kuzungumza naye kwa kuwa watu wengine walikuwa wakubwa kuliko yeye.
(Now Elihu had wayted til Iob had spoken: for they were more ancient in yeeres then he)
5 Hata hivyo, wakati Elihu alipoona ya kuwa hapakuwa na jibu katika midomo ya watu hawa watatu, hasira yake iliwaka.
So when Elihu saw, that there was none answere in the mouth of the three men, his wrath was kindled.
6 Ndipo Elihu mwana wa Barakeli Mbuzi alinena na kusema, “Mimi ni mdogo, na ninyi ni wazee. Hii ndio sababu nilijizuia na sikuthubutu kuzungumza mawazo yangu mwenyewe.
Therefore Elihu the sonne of Barachel, the Buzite answered, and sayd, I am yong in yeres, and ye are ancient: therefore I doubted, and was afraide to shewe you mine opinion.
7 Nilisema, “Urefu wa siku utazungumza; na wingi wa miaka utatufundisha hekima.
For I said, The dayes shall speake, and the multitude of yeeres shall teach wisedome.
8 Lakini kuna roho ndani ya mtu; pumzi ya Mwenye nguvu humpa yeye ufahamu.
Surely there is a spirite in man, but the inspiration of the Almightie giueth vnderstanding.
9 Si tu watu wakubwa ndio wenye hekima, wala watu wazee pekee ambao hufahamu haki.
Great men are not alway wise, neither doe the aged alway vnderstand iudgement.
10 Hivyo basi nakwambia wewe, “Nisikilizeni mimi; Nitakwambia pia uelewa wangu.'
Therefore I say, Heare me, and I will shew also mine opinion.
11 Tazama, niliyasubiria maneno yenu; nilisikiliza hoja zenu wakati mlipokuwa mnafikiri juu ya kile cha kusema.
Behold, I did waite vpon your wordes, and hearkened vnto your knowledge, whiles you sought out reasons.
12 Hakika, niliwajali sana ninyi, lakini, tazama, hakuna hata mmoja wenu aliyeweza kumshawishi Ayubu wala ambaye aliweza kumjibu maneno yake.
Yea, when I had considered you, lo, there was none of you that reproued Iob, nor answered his wordes:
13 Iweni waangalifu msije mkasema, 'Tumepata hekima!' Mungu atakuwa amemshinda Ayubu; mtu wa kawaida hawezi akafanya hivyo.
Lest ye should say, We haue found wisedome: for God hath cast him downe, and no man.
14 Kwa kuwa Ayubu hajasema mojamoja maneno yake juu yangu, basi sitamjibu kwa maneno yenu.
Yet hath he not directed his words to me, neyther will I answere him by your wordes.
15 Hawa watu watatu wamep igwa bumbuwazi; hawawezi kuendelea kumjibu Ayubu; hawana neno zaidi la kusema.
Then they fearing, answered no more, but left off their talke.
16 Je ninapaswa kusubiria kwasababu hawazungumzi, kwa kuwa wamesimama pale kimya na wala hawajibu zaidi?
When I had wayted (for they spake not, but stood still and answered no more)
17 La, nitajibu pia upande wangu; Nitawaambia pia ufahamu wangu.
Then answered I in my turne, and I shewed mine opinion.
18 Kwa kuwa nimejawa na maneno mengi, roho ndani yangu inanisukuma.
For I am full of matter, and the spirite within me compelleth me.
19 Tazama, kifua changu ni kama divai yenye chachu ambayo haina tundu; kama viriba vipya, kiko tayari kupasuka.
Beholde, my belly is as the wine, which hath no vent, and like the new bottels that brast.
20 Nitazungumza ili kwamba niweze kuburudishwa; nitafungua kimya changu na kusema.
Therefore will I speake, that I may take breath: I will open my lippes, and will answere.
21 Sitaonesha upendeleo; wala sitatoa sifa za majina kwa mtu yeyote.
I will not now accept the person of man, neyther will I giue titles to man.
22 Kwa kuwa sijui namna ya kutoa sifa; kama nitafanya hivyo, Muumba wangu atanikatilia mimi mbali.
For I may not giue titles, lest my Maker should take me away suddenly.
