< Job 32 >

1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị ikom atọ ndị a kwusịrị ịsa Job okwu ọbụla ọzọ nʼihi na ọ hụrụ onwe ya dịka onye ezi omume.
2 Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
Ma oke iwe were Elihu nwa Barakel onye obodo Buz, si nʼikwu Ram megide Job nʼihi na ọ gụrụ onwe ya dịka onye ezi omume karịa Chineke.
3 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
Iwe wekwara ya nʼebe mmadụ atọ ndị enyi Job nọ, nʼihi na ọ dịghị ebe ha hụtara Job dịka onye ụzọ ya na-ezighị ezi, ma ha gara nʼihu ịma ya ikpe.
4 Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.
Ma ruo ugbu a, Elihu agwaghị Job okwu ọbụla nʼihi na ndị ọzọ bụ okenye nʼebe ọ nọ.
5 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.
Ma mgbe ọ hụrụ na ndị ikom atọ ndị a enweghị okwu ọzọ ha ga-ekwu, nke a kpasuru ya iwe.
6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; therefore I was afraid, and dared not show you my opinion.
Ma Elihu nwa Barakel onye obodo Buz zara sị: “Abụ m nwantakịrị nʼọnụọgụgụ afọ m gbara, ma unu bụ ndị okenye; ọ bụ nke a mere m ji gbaa nkịtị nʼụjọ, hapụ ịgwa unu ihe m maara.
7 I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
Echere m nʼobi m sị, ‘Ọnụọgụgụ afọ ga-ekwu okwu; ọtụtụ afọ ka ọ dịkwara ikuzi amamihe.’
8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
Ma ọ bụ mmụọ dị nʼime mmadụ, nkuume nke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile na-enye nghọta.
9 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
Ọ bụghị naanị ndị okenye bụ ndị mara ihe, ọ bụkwaghị naanị ndị gbara ọtụtụ afọ bụ ndị na-aghọta ihe ziri ezi.
10 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show my opinion.
“Ya mere m na-asị, Geenụ m ntị; mụ onwe m ga-agwa unu ihe m ma.
11 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, while ye searched out what to say.
Echeere m oge niile unu na-ekwu okwu, egere m ntị na ntụgharị uche unu, oge niile unu na-achọpụta okwu unu ga-ekwu.
12 Yea, I attended to you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
Egere m nnọọ unu ntị, ma ọ dịghị onye nʼime unu nwerela ike gosi Job ụzọ o si jehie; ọ dịghị onye nʼime unu zaghachiri ịrụ ụka ya.
13 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
Unu ekwula sị, ‘Anyị achọtala amamihe; ka Chineke na-abụghị mmadụ gosi ya mmehie ya.’
14 Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
Ma Job edozighị okwu ya nʼusoro megide m, ya mere agaghị m eji ịrụ ụka unu zaghachi ya.
15 They were amazed, they answered no more: they stopped speaking.
“Ha adaala mba na-enweghị ihe ọzọ ha ga-ekwu; ike okwu agwụla ha.
16 When I had waited, (for they spoke not, but stood still, and answered no more; )
M ga-echere, ugbu a ha deere duu, ugbu a ha guzo ebe ahụ na-enweghị ọsịsa?
17 I said, I will answer also my part, I also will show my opinion.
Mụ onwe m ga-ekwu uche m; ihe m maara ka mụ onwe m ga-ekwu,
18 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
nʼihi na okwu juru m ọnụ, ọ bụkwa mmụọ dị nʼime m na-akwagide m.
19 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
Nʼime m, adị m ka mmanya na-agbọ ụfụfụ a kwuchiri na karama, dịka karama akpụkpọ ọhụrụ dị njikere ịgbawa.
20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
Aga m ekwurịrị okwu ka m sị nʼụzọ dị otu a chọta izuike; aga m emeghe egbugbere ọnụ m ma zaghachi.
21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person, neither let me give flattering titles to man.
Agaghị m ekpe mmadụ ọbụla ikpe mmegide maọbụ jaa mmadụ ọbụla mma nʼụzọ na-ezighị ezi.
22 For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na m bụ ọka nwere ire ụtọ nʼịja ihe na-ezighị ezi mma, Onye kere m ga-ewepụ m nʼoge na-adịghị anya.
