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.
Sa gayo'y ang tatlong lalaking ito ay nagsitigil ng pagsagot kay Job, sapagka't siya'y matuwid sa kaniyang sariling paningin.
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].
Nang magkagayo'y nagalab ang poot ni Eliu, na anak ni Barachel na Bucita, na angkan ni Ram: laban kay Job ay nagalab ang kaniyang poot, sapagka't siya'y nagpapanggap na ganap kay sa Dios.
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.
Laban din naman sa kaniyang tatlong kaibigan ay nagalab ang kaniyang poot, sapagka't sila'y hindi nakasumpong ng sagot, at gayon man ay nahatulan si Job.
4 Elihu was younger than the others, so he waited [until they had finished speaking] before he replied to Job.
Si Eliu nga ay naghintay upang magsalita kay Job, sapagka't sila'y matanda kay sa kaniya.
5 But when Elihu realized that the three men had no more to say [MTY] to Job, he became angry.
At nang makita ni Eliu na walang kasagutan sa bibig ng tatlong lalaking ito, ay nagalab ang kaniyang poot.
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.
At si Eliu na anak ni Barachel na Bucita ay sumagot at nagsabi, Ako'y bata, at kayo'y totoong matatanda; kaya't ako'y nagpakapigil at hindi ako nangahas magpatalastas sa inyo ng aking haka.
7 I thought, ‘Let those [PRS] who are much older speak, because older people [should be able to] say things that are wise.’
Aking sinabi, Ang mga kaarawan ang mangagsasalita, at ang karamihan ng mga taon ay mangagtuturo ng karunungan.
8 But the Spirit of Almighty [God] is within people, and it is he who enables them to be wise.
Nguni't may espiritu sa tao, at ang hinga ng Makapangyarihan sa lahat ay nagbibigay sa kanila ng unawa.
9 It is not people becoming old that enables them to be wise; not [all] old people understand what is right.
Hindi ang dakila ang siyang pantas, ni ang matanda man ang siyang nakakaunawa ng kahatulan.
10 “So, I say, ‘Listen to me, and allow me to say what I think.’
Kaya't aking sinabi, Dinggin ninyo ako; akin namang ipakikilala ang aking haka.
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.
Narito, aking hinintay ang inyong mga salita, aking dininig ang inyong mga pangangatuwiran, samantalang kayo'y naghahagilap ng masasabi.
12 I paid attention carefully, but surprisingly, none of you were able to prove that what Job said was wrong.
Oo, aking inulinig kayo, at, narito, walang isang makahikayat kay Job, o sa inyo'y may makasagot sa kaniyang mga salita.
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.
Magbawa nga kayo, baka kayo'y magsabi, Kami ay nakasumpong ng karunungan; madadaig ng Dios siya, hindi ng tao;
14 Job was replying to you, [not to me], but I will not reply to him by saying what you three said.
Sapagka't hindi itinukoy ang kaniyang mga salita sa akin; ni hindi ko sasagutin siya ng inyong mga pananalita.
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].
Sila'y nangalito, sila'y hindi na nagsisagot pa; Sila'y walang salitang masabi,
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.
At ako ba'y maghihintay, sapagka't sila'y hindi nangagsasalita, sapagka't sila'y nangakatigil, at hindi na nagsisisagot.
17 So [now] I also will reply [to Job] and say what I think.
Ako nama'y sasagot ng ganang akin, akin namang ipakikilala ang aking haka.
18 I have plenty to say, and my spirit compels me to say it.
Sapagka't ako'y puspos ng mga salita; ang diwa na sumasaloob ko ay pumipigil sa akin,
19 My inner being is like [SIM] a (wineskin/bag that has (new/fermenting) wine in it), and it will soon burst.
Narito, ang aking dibdib ay parang alak na walang pahingahan: parang mga bagong sisidlang-balat na handa sa pagkahapak.
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].
Ako'y magsasalita, upang ako'y maginhawahan: aking ibubuka ang aking mga labi at sasagot ako.
21 I will speak [fairly], not favoring any of you, and I will not try to flatter anyone.
Huwag itulot sa akin na pakundanganan ko, isinasamo ko sa inyo, ang pagkatao ninoman; ni gumamit man sa kanino man ng mga pakunwaring papuring salita.
22 I [really] do not know how to flatter people; and if I did that, God would soon get rid of me.”
Sapagka't hindi ako marunong sumambit ng mga pakunwaring papuring salita; na kung dili ay madaling papanawin ako ng Maylalang sa akin.
