Job 32
1 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.
Ary nitsahatra tsy namaly intsony izy telo lahy ireo, satria nanamarin-tena Joba.
2 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].
Ary nirehitra kosa ny fahatezeran’ i Eliho, zanak’ i Barakela, Bozita, avy amin’ ny fokon’ i Rama; eny, tamin’ i Joba no nirehetan’ ny fahatezerany, satria nanao ny tenany ho marina noho Andriamanitra izy.
3 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.
Ary tamin’ ny sakaizany telo lahy koa no nirehetan’ ny fahatezerany, satria tsy nahita teny havaliny izy ireo, kanefa nanameloka an’ i Joba.
4 Elihu was younger than the others, so he waited [until they had finished speaking] before he replied to Job.
Ary Eliho mbola niandry an-dr’ i Joba aloha vao niteny, fa ireo no ela niainana kokoa noho izy.
5 But when Elihu realized that the three men had no more to say [MTY] to Job, he became angry.
Ary rehefa hitany fa tsy nanan-kavaly izy telo lahy, dia nirehitra ny fahatezerany;
6 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.
ka dia niteny Eliho, zanak’ i Barakela, Bozita, ka nanao hoe: Mbola tanora aho, fa ianareo kosa efa fotsy volo, koa dia niaoriandriana aho aloha, fa tsy sahy nanambara aminareo izay fantatro.
7 I thought, ‘Let those [PRS] who are much older speak, because older people [should be able to] say things that are wise.’
Hoy izaho: Aoka ny fahanterana no hiteny, ary aoka ny hamaroan’ ny taona no hampianatra fahendrena.
8 But the Spirit of Almighty [God] is within people, and it is he who enables them to be wise.
Kanefa ny fanahy izay ao anatin’ ny zanak’ olombelona sy ny fofonoin’ ny Tsitoha no mahahendry azy.
9 It is not people becoming old that enables them to be wise; not [all] old people understand what is right.
Tsy dia ny fahalehibiazana no mahahendry, ary tsy dia ny fahanterana no ahalalana ny rariny;
10 “So, I say, ‘Listen to me, and allow me to say what I think.’
Ary noho izany dia hoy izaho: Aoka samy hihaino ahy; Izaho koa mba hanambara izay fantatro.
11 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.
Indro, niandry ny teninareo aho, ary nandinika ny teny nalahatrareo, mandra-pihevitrareo izay holazaina;
12 I paid attention carefully, but surprisingly, none of you were able to prove that what Job said was wrong.
Eny, nihaino dia nihaino anareo aho, fa he! tsy nisy naharesy lahatra an’ i Joba ianareo, na nahavaly ny teniny akory;
13 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.
Fandrao ianareo hanao hoe: Hitanay ny fotony: Andriamanitra no maharesy azy, fa tsy olona.
14 Job was replying to you, [not to me], but I will not reply to him by saying what you three said.
Tsy nandaha-teny hamely ahy anefa izy; Ary tsy araka ny teninareo no havaliko azy.
15 “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].
Very hevitra terỳ izy ireo, ka tsy namaly intsony; Efa nanalavitra azy ny teny.
16 But because you do not speak, I certainly will not wait any longer [RHQ]; you merely stand there and do not reply any more.
Hangina va aho, raha tsy miteny izy ireo, fa mijanona foana izy ka tsy mamaly intsony?
17 So [now] I also will reply [to Job] and say what I think.
Anjarako kosa izao, koa dia hamaly aho; Eny, izaho hanambara izay fantatro;
18 I have plenty to say, and my spirit compels me to say it.
Fa feno teny ny foko; Manery ahy ny fanahy ato anatiko.
19 My inner being is like [SIM] a (wineskin/bag that has (new/fermenting) wine in it), and it will soon burst.
Endrey! ny ato anatiko dia efa tahaka ny divay izay tsy misy hiainana, efa ho triatra tahaka ny siny hoditra vaovao izy.
20 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].
Hiteny aho mba hisy hiainako tsara; Hiloa-bava aho ka hamaly.
21 I will speak [fairly], not favoring any of you, and I will not try to flatter anyone.
Aoka tsy hizaha tavan’ olona akory aho, ary aoka tsy handrobo olona.
22 I [really] do not know how to flatter people; and if I did that, God would soon get rid of me.”
Fa tsy mba mahay mandrobo aho; Raha izany, dia halain’ ny Mpanao ahy faingana aho.
