< Job 32 >

1 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta wọ̀nyí dákẹ́ láti dá Jobu lóhùn, nítorí ó ṣe olódodo lójú ara rẹ̀.
So these three men stopped answering Job because he was 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.
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 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.
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 Ǹjẹ́ Elihu ti dúró títí tí Jobu fi sọ̀rọ̀ tán nítorí tí àwọn wọ̀nyí dàgbà ju òun lọ ní ọjọ́ orí.
Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because the other men were older than he.
5 Nígbà tí Elihu rí i pé ìdáhùn ọ̀rọ̀ kò sí ní ẹnu àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta wọ̀nyí nígbà náà ni ó bínú.
However, when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouths of these three men, his anger was kindled.
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.
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 Èmi wí pé ọjọ́ orí ni ìbá sọ̀rọ̀, àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọdún ní ìbá kọ́ ni ní ọgbọ́n.
I said, “Length of days should speak; a multitude of years should teach wisdom.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀mí kan ní ó wà nínú ènìyàn àti ìmísí Olódùmarè ní ì sì máa fún wọn ní òye.
But there is a spirit in a man; the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.
9 Ènìyàn ńlá ńlá kì í ṣe ọlọ́gbọ́n, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn àgbà ní òye ẹ̀tọ́ kò yé.
It is not only the great people who are wise, nor the aged people alone who understand justice.
10 “Nítorí náà ní èmí ṣe wí pé, ẹ dẹtí sílẹ̀ sí mi; èmí pẹ̀lú yóò fi ìmọ̀ mi hàn.
Therefore I say to you, 'Listen to me; I will also tell you my knowledge.'
11 Kíyèsi i, èmí ti dúró de ọ̀rọ̀ yín; èmi fetísí àròyé yín, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin ń wá ọ̀rọ̀ ti ẹ̀yin yóò sọ;
See, I waited for your words; I listened to your arguments while you were thinking about what to say.
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!
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 Kí ẹ̀yin kí ó má ṣe wí pé, ‘Àwa wá ọgbọ́n ní àwárí; Ọlọ́run ni ó lè bì í ṣubú kì í ṣe ènìyàn.’
Be careful not to say, 'We have found wisdom!' God will have to defeat Job; mere man cannot do it.
14 Bí òun kò ti sọ̀rọ̀ sí mi, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kì yóò fi ọ̀rọ̀ yín dá a lóhùn.
For Job has not directed his words against me, so I will not answer him with your words.
15 “Ẹnu sì yà wọ́n, wọn kò sì dáhùn mọ́, wọ́n ṣíwọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ í sọ.
These three men are dumbfounded; they can answer Job no longer; they have not a word more to say.
16 Mo sì retí, nítorí wọn kò sì fọhùn, wọ́n dákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́; wọn kò sì dáhùn mọ́.
Should I wait because they are not speaking, because they stand there silent and answer no more?
17 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmí ó sì dáhùn nípa ti èmi, èmí pẹ̀lú yóò sì fi ìmọ̀ mi hàn.
No, I also will answer on my part; I will also tell them my knowledge.
18 Nítorí pé èmi kún fún ọ̀rọ̀ sísọ, ẹ̀mí ń rọ̀ mi ni inú mi.
For I am full of words; the spirit in me compels me.
19 Kíyèsi i, ikùn mi dàbí ọtí wáìnì, tí kò ní ojú-ìhò; ó múra tán láti bẹ́ bí ìgò-awọ tuntun.
See, my breast is like fermenting wine that has no vent; like new wineskins, it is ready to burst.
20 Èmí ó sọ, kí ara kí ó le rọ̀ mí, èmí ó sí ètè mi, èmí ó sì dáhùn.
I will speak so that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer.
21 Lóòtítọ́ èmi kì yóò ṣe ojúsàájú sí ẹnìkankan, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmí kì yóò sì ṣe ìpọ́nni fún ẹnìkan.
I will not show favoritism; neither will I give honorific titles to any man.
22 Nítorí pé èmí kò mọ̀ ọ̀rọ̀ ìpọ́nni í sọ ní ṣíṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, ẹlẹ́dàá mi yóò mú mi kúrò lọ́gán.
For I do not know how to give such titles; if I did so, my Maker would soon take me away.
