Job 32

1 Kaya tumigil sa pagsagot kay Job ang tatlong mga lalaking ito dahil siya ay matuwid sa sarili niyang paningin.

Then those three men stopped answering Job, because [they could not convince Job that he was wrong in claiming that] he had not done anything that was wrong.

2 Pagkatapos sumiklab ang galit ni Elihu anak ni Baraquel, apo ni Bus ng pamilya ni Ram; sumiklab ito laban kay Job dahil binigyang katwiran niya ang kaniyang sarili sa halip na ang Diyos.

Then Elihu, the son of Barachel, a descendant of Buz, from the clan of Ram, became very angry at Job. He was angry because Job continued to claim that he was righteous/innocent, and that God was wrong [to punish him].

3 Sumiklab din ang galit ni Elihu laban sa tatlo niyang mga kaibigan dahil wala silang nahanap na sagot kay Job, gayunman hinatulan nila si Job

He was also angry with Job’s three friends, because they had declared that Job must have done many things that were wrong, but they were unable to convince Job [that what they said was true]. As a result, [it seemed to Elihu that] God did what was wrong by punishing Job.

4 Ngayon naghintay si Elihu na makapagsalita kay Job dahil mas matanda sa kaniya ang tatlong ibang lalaki.

Elihu was younger than the others, so he waited [until they had finished speaking] before he replied to Job.

5 Pero, nang nakita ni Elihu na walang sagot sa bibig ng tatlong mga lalaking ito, sumiklab ang kaniyang galit.

But when Elihu realized that the three men had no more to say [MTY] to Job, he became angry.

6 Pagkatapos nagsalita si Elihu na anak ni Baraquel, apo ni Bus at sinabi, “Bata pa ako, at kayo ay napakatanda na. Iyon ang kung bakit nagpigil ako at hindi nangahas na sabihin sa inyo ang aking palagay.

And this is what he said: “I am young, and you all are much older than I am. So, I was timid, and I was afraid to tell you what I was thinking.

7 Sinabi ko, “Ang haba ng mga araw ay dapat magsalita; ang maraming mga taon ay dapat magturo ng karunungan.

I thought, ‘Let those [PRS] who are much older speak, because older people [should be able to] say things that are wise.’

8 Pero may espiritu sa isang tao; binibigyan siya ng pang-unawa ng hininga ng Makapangyarihan.

But the Spirit of Almighty [God] is within people, and it is he who enables them to be wise.

9 Hindi lamang ang mga dakilang tao ang marunong, ni ang mga matatanda lamang ang nakakaunawa ng katarungan.

It is not people becoming old that enables them to be wise; not [all] old people understand what is right.

10 Dahil dito sinasabi ko sa inyo, “Dinggin ninyo ako; Sasabihin ko rin sa inyo ang aking kaalaman.'

“So, I say, ‘Listen to me, and allow me to say what I think.’

11 Tingnan ninyo, naghintay ako para sa inyong mga salita; nakinig ako sa inyong mga pangangatuwiran habang iniisip ninyo tungkol sa ano ang sasabihin.

I waited for you all to speak; I wanted to hear the wise things that you would say. I waited while you thought carefully about what [would be the right things] to say.

12 Tunay nga, nakinig akong mabuti sa inyo, pero, tingnan ninyo, wala isa man sa inyo ang makakumbinsi kay Job o makatugon sa kaniyang mga salita.

I paid attention carefully, but surprisingly, none of you were able to prove that what Job said was wrong.

13 Ingatan ninyong huwag sabihing, “Natagpuan namin ang karunungan! Kailangang daigin ng Diyos si Job; hindi ito magagawa ng tao lamang.

So, do not say [to yourselves], ‘We have discovered what is wise!’ It is God who must (refute Job/show that what Job said was wrong), because you three have not been able to do that.

14 Dahil hindi itinuon ni Job ang kaniyang mga salita laban sa akin, kaya hindi ko siya sasagutin gamit ang inyong mga salita.

Job was replying to you, [not to me], but I will not reply to him by saying what you three said.

15 Hindi makaimik ang tatlong mga lalaking ito; hindi na nila masagot si Job; ni isang salita ay wala na silang masabi.

“You three are dismayed [because you have not been able to convince him that he was wrong], so you are not saying any more to him [DOU].

16 Dapat ba akong maghintay dahil hindi sila nagsasalita, dahil nakatayo sila doon nang tahimik at hindi na sumasagot?

But because you do not speak, I certainly will not wait any longer [RHQ]; you merely stand there and do not reply any more.

17 Hindi, sasagot din ako sa aking panig; sasabihin ko rin sa kanila ang aking nalalaman.

So [now] I also will reply [to Job] and say what I think.

18 Puno ako ng mga salita; itinutulak ako ng espiritung nasa akin.

I have plenty to say, and my spirit compels me to say it.

19 Tingnan ninyo, ang aking dibdib ay tulad ng nangangasim na alak na walang singawan; tulad ng bagong mga sisidlan ng alak, handa nang pumutok.

My inner being is like [SIM] a (wineskin/bag that has (new/fermenting) wine in it), and it will soon burst.

20 Magsasalita ako para ako ay maginhawahan; ibubuka ko ang aking mga labi at sasagot.

I must speak [MTY], in order that I do not have to keep holding what I want to say; I must say something [MTY] to reply [to you all].

21 Hindi ako magpapakita ng pagtatangi; hindi rin ako magbibigay kaninuman ng titulo ng panggalang.

I will speak [fairly], not favoring any of you, and I will not try to flatter anyone.

22 Dahil hindi ko alam kung paano magbigay ng ganoong titulo; kung ginawa ko iyon, maaga akong kukunin ng aking Tagalikha.

I [really] do not know how to flatter people; and if I did that, God would soon get rid of me.”
