Job 16
1 Forsothe Joob answeride, and seide, Y `herde ofte siche thingis;
Afei Hiob buae se,
2 alle ye ben heuy coumfortouris.
“Mate nsɛm bebree a ɛte sɛ eyinom; na mo nyinaa moyɛ ogyamserewfo!
3 Whether wordis ful of wynd schulen haue an ende? ether ony thing is diseseful to thee, if thou spekist?
So mo kasa tenten no remma awiei ana? Dɛn na ɛhaw mo nti a mugu so regye akyinnye yi?
4 Also Y myyte speke thingis lijk to you, and `Y wolde, that youre soule were for my soule; and Y wolde coumfort you by wordis, and Y wolde moue myn heed on you;
Anka me nso metumi akasa sɛ mo, sɛ mo na mowɔ me tebea yi mu a, anka metumi akeka nsɛm a ɛyɛ dɛ atia mo na mabu mo animtiaa.
5 Y wolde make you stronge bi my mouth, and Y wolde moue lippis as sparynge you.
Nanso anka mɛhyɛ mo den; anka awerɛkyekye nsɛm a ebefi mʼanom no bɛma mo ahotɔ.
6 But what schal Y do? If Y speke, my sorewe restith not; and if Y am stille, it goith not awei fro me.
“Nanso sɛ mekasa a ɔyaw a mete no remmrɛ ase; na sɛ mankasa nso a, ɛrennyae.
7 But now my sorewe hath oppressid me, and alle my lymes ben dryuun in to nouyt.
Onyankopɔn, ampa ara woama mabrɛ woasɛe me fi pasaa.
8 My ryuelyngis seien witnessyng ayens me, and a fals spekere is reisid ayens my face, and ayenseith me.
Woakyekyere me, ama abɛyɛ adansedi; me so tew ara na ɛtew na edi adanse tia me.
9 He gaderide togidere his woodnesse in me, and he manaasside me, and gnastide ayens me with his teeth; myn enemye bihelde me with ferdful iyen.
Onyankopɔn tow hyɛ me so tetew me wɔ nʼabufuw mu na ɔtwɛre ne se gu me so; nea ɔne me anya no pɔkyere nʼani hwɛ me.
10 Thei openyden her mouthis on me, and thei seiden schenschip, and smytiden my cheke; and thei ben fillid with my peynes.
Nnipa bue wɔn ano di me ho fɛw; wɔbɔ me sotɔre de bu me animtiaa na wɔka wɔn ho bɔ mu de tia me.
11 God hath closid me togidere at the wickid, and hath youe me to the hondis of wickid men.
Onyankopɔn de me ama abɔnefo watow me ato amumɔyɛfo nsam.
12 Y thilke riche man and famouse sum tyme, am al to brokun sudeynli; `he helde my nol; he hath broke me, and hath set me as in to a signe.
Na biribiara kɔ yiye ma me, nanso ɔdwerɛw me; osoo me kɔn mu, tow me hwee hɔ. Ɔde me asi nʼani so;
13 He hath cumpasside me with hise speris, he woundide togidere my leendis; he sparide not, and schedde out myn entrails in to the erthe.
nʼagyantowfo atwa me ho ahyia, ohwirew mʼasaabo mu a wanhu me mmɔbɔ maa me bɔnwoma petee fam.
14 He beet me with wounde on wounde; he as a giaunt felde in on me.
Ɔba me so bere biara; na ɔtow hyɛ me so sɛ ɔkofo.
15 Y sewide togidere a sak on my skyn; and Y hilide my fleisch with aische.
“Mapam atweaatam akata me were so na masie mʼanintɔn wɔ mfutuma mu.
16 My face bolnyde of wepynge, and myn iyeliddis wexiden derke.
Agyaadwotwa ama mʼani ayɛ kɔɔ; sunsuma kabii atwa mʼani ho ahyia,
17 Y suffride these thingis with out wickidnesse of myn hond, `that is, werk, whanne Y hadde cleene preieris to God.
nanso me nsa nyɛɛ basabasayɛ biara na me mpaebɔ yɛ kann.
18 Erthe, hile thou not my blood, and my cry fynde not in thee a place of hidyng.
“Asase, nkata me mogya so; na mma me sufrɛ to ntwa da!
19 `For, lo! my witnesse is in heuene; and the knowere of my consience is in hiye places.
Mprempren mpo, me danseni wɔ ɔsoro; me kamafo wɔ soro hɔ.
20 A! my frendis, ful of wordis, myn iye droppith to God.
Me dimafo yɛ mʼadamfo bere a mʼaniwa tew nisu gu Onyankopɔn so yi;
21 And `Y wolde, that a man were demed so with God, as the sone of man is demed with his felowe.
ogyina onipa anan mu di ma no wɔ Onyankopɔn anim sɛnea obi di ma nʼadamfo no.
22 `For lo! schorte yeeris passen, and Y go a path, bi which Y schal not turne ayen.
“Mfe kakraa bi akyi ansa na metu kwan akɔ koransan.
