< Job 32 >

1 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta wọ̀nyí dákẹ́ láti dá Jobu lóhùn, nítorí ó ṣe olódodo lójú ara rẹ̀.
And these three men cease from answering Job, for he [is] righteous in his own eyes,
2 Nígbà náà ni inú bí Elihu ọmọ Barakeli ará Busi, láti ìbátan ìdílé Ramu; ó bínú si Jobu nítorí ti ó dá ara rẹ̀ láre kàkà ki ó dá Ọlọ́run láre.
and the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite burns, of the family of Ram; his anger has burned against Job, because of his justifying himself more than God;
3 Inú sì bí i sí àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀ mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta, nítorí tí wọn kò rí ọ̀nà láti dá Jobu lóhùn bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n dá Jobu lẹ́bi.
and his anger has burned against his three friends, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job.
4 Ǹjẹ́ Elihu ti dúró títí tí Jobu fi sọ̀rọ̀ tán nítorí tí àwọn wọ̀nyí dàgbà ju òun lọ ní ọjọ́ orí.
And Elihu has waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days.
5 Nígbà tí Elihu rí i pé ìdáhùn ọ̀rọ̀ kò sí ní ẹnu àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta wọ̀nyí nígbà náà ni ó bínú.
And Elihu sees that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burns.
6 Elihu, ọmọ Barakeli, ará Busi, dáhùn ó sì wí pé, “Ọmọdé ni èmi, àgbà sì ní ẹ̀yin; ǹjẹ́ nítorí náà ní mo dúró, mo sì ń bẹ̀rù láti fi ìmọ̀ mi hàn yin.
And Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answers and says: “I [am] young in days, and you [are] aged; Therefore I have feared, And am afraid of showing you my opinion.
7 Èmi wí pé ọjọ́ orí ni ìbá sọ̀rọ̀, àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọdún ní ìbá kọ́ ni ní ọgbọ́n.
I said, Days speak, And a multitude of years teach wisdom.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀mí kan ní ó wà nínú ènìyàn àti ìmísí Olódùmarè ní ì sì máa fún wọn ní òye.
Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Causes them to understand.
9 Ènìyàn ńlá ńlá kì í ṣe ọlọ́gbọ́n, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn àgbà ní òye ẹ̀tọ́ kò yé.
The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.
10 “Nítorí náà ní èmí ṣe wí pé, ẹ dẹtí sílẹ̀ sí mi; èmí pẹ̀lú yóò fi ìmọ̀ mi hàn.
Therefore I have said: Listen to me, I show my opinion—even I.
11 Kíyèsi i, èmí ti dúró de ọ̀rọ̀ yín; èmi fetísí àròyé yín, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin ń wá ọ̀rọ̀ ti ẹ̀yin yóò sọ;
Behold, I have waited for your words, I give ear to your reasons, Until you search out sayings.
12 àní, mo fiyèsí yín tinútinú. Sì kíyèsi i, kò sí ẹnìkan nínú yín tí ó le já Jobu ní irọ́; tàbí tí ó lè dá a lóhùn àríyànjiyàn rẹ̀!
And to you I attend, And behold, there is no reasoner for Job, [Or] answerer of his sayings among you.
13 Kí ẹ̀yin kí ó má ṣe wí pé, ‘Àwa wá ọgbọ́n ní àwárí; Ọlọ́run ni ó lè bì í ṣubú kì í ṣe ènìyàn.’
Lest you say, We have found wisdom, God thrusts him away, not man.
14 Bí òun kò ti sọ̀rọ̀ sí mi, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kì yóò fi ọ̀rọ̀ yín dá a lóhùn.
And he has not set words in array for me, And I do not answer him with your sayings.
15 “Ẹnu sì yà wọ́n, wọn kò sì dáhùn mọ́, wọ́n ṣíwọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ í sọ.
(They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed words from themselves.
16 Mo sì retí, nítorí wọn kò sì fọhùn, wọ́n dákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́; wọn kò sì dáhùn mọ́.
And I have waited, but they do not speak, For they have stood still, They have not answered anymore.)
17 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmí ó sì dáhùn nípa ti èmi, èmí pẹ̀lú yóò sì fi ìmọ̀ mi hàn.
I answer, even I—my share, I show my opinion—even I.
18 Nítorí pé èmi kún fún ọ̀rọ̀ sísọ, ẹ̀mí ń rọ̀ mi ni inú mi.
For I have been full of words, The spirit of my breast has distressed me,
19 Kíyèsi i, ikùn mi dàbí ọtí wáìnì, tí kò ní ojú-ìhò; ó múra tán láti bẹ́ bí ìgò-awọ tuntun.
Behold, my breast [is] as wine not opened, It is broken up like new bottles.
20 Èmí ó sọ, kí ara kí ó le rọ̀ mí, èmí ó sí ètè mi, èmí ó sì dáhùn.
I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I open my lips and answer.
21 Lóòtítọ́ èmi kì yóò ṣe ojúsàájú sí ẹnìkankan, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmí kì yóò sì ṣe ìpọ́nni fún ẹnìkan.
Please do not let me accept the face of any, Nor give flattering titles to man,
22 Nítorí pé èmí kò mọ̀ ọ̀rọ̀ ìpọ́nni í sọ ní ṣíṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, ẹlẹ́dàá mi yóò mú mi kúrò lọ́gán.
For I have not known to give flattering titles, My Maker takes me away in a little.”
