Job 35
1 Elihu spake moreouer, and said,
Afei, Elihu kae se:
2 Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?
“Wugye di sɛ, eyi fata? Woka se, ‘Onyankopɔn betwitwa agye me.’
3 For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?
Nanso wubisa no se, ‘Mfaso bɛn na menya, na sɛ manyɛ bɔne a, mfaso bɛn na menya?’
4 Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee.
“Mepɛ sɛ mibua wo ne wo nnamfonom nyinaa.
5 Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.
Ma wʼani so kyerɛ soro na hwɛ; hwɛ omununkum a ɛwɔ wʼatifi sorosoro nohɔ.
6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?
Sɛ woyɛ bɔne a, ɔkwan bɛn so na ɛfa haw no? Mpo sɛ wo bɔne dɔɔso a, nsunsuanso bɛn na enya wɔ ne so?
7 If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?
Sɛ woteɛ a, dɛn na wode ma no anaasɛ dɛn na onya fi wo nsam?
8 Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.
Wʼamumɔyɛ ka onipa a ɔte sɛ wo na wo trenee ka nnipa mma nko ara.
9 They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.
“Nnipa su bere a wɔhyɛ wɔn so; na wɔsrɛ mmoa fi nea ɔwɔ tumi nsam.
10 But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?
Nanso obi mmisa se, ‘Ɛhe na Onyankopɔn, me Yɛfo no wɔ, nea ɔma nnwom anadwo no,
11 Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.
nea ɔkyerɛ yɛn nimdeɛ bebree sen asase so mmoa na ɔma yehu nyansa sen wim nnomaa no?’
12 Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.
Sɛ nnipa su teɛ mu a, ommua, amumɔyɛfo ahantan nti.
13 Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.
Ampa ara Onyankopɔn rentie wɔn nkotosrɛ hunu no; na Otumfo remmu.
14 Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.
Ɛno de adɛn na ɔrentie bere a woka se wunhu no, na woka se wʼasɛm wɔ nʼanim enti ɛsɛ sɛ wotwɛn no,
15 But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,
na bio, nʼabufuw mmfa asotwe mma na nʼani nni amumɔyɛsɛm akyi pii?
16 Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.
Enti Hiob bue nʼano ka nsɛnhunu; nimdeɛ a onni nti, ɔkeka nsɛm bebree.”
