Hiob 1
1 Ŋutsu aɖe nɔ Uznyigba dzi si ŋkɔe nye Hiob. Ŋutsu sia nye mokakamanɔŋutɔ kple ame dzɔdzɔe, evɔ̃a Mawu, eye wòtsri nu vɔ̃ɖi.
Naʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻi he fonua ko Usa, naʻe hingoa ko Siope; pea naʻe haohaoa mo angatonu ʻae tangata ko ia, pea ne manavahē ia ki he ʻOtua, pea afe mei he kovi.
2 Viŋutsu adre kple vinyɔnu etɔ̃ nɔ esi,
Pea naʻe fanauʻi kiate ia ʻae foha ʻe toko fitu mo e ʻofefine ʻe toko tolu.
3 kpe ɖe alẽ akpe adre, kposɔ akpe etɔ̃, nyi siwo wode kɔkuti kɔ na woŋlɔa agblee eveve teƒe alafa atɔ̃ kple tedzi alafa atɔ̃ kple subɔla gbogbo aɖewo ŋu. Eyae nye ŋutsu si de ŋgɔ wu ame sia ame le ɣedzeƒetɔwo katã dome.
Ko ʻene koloa ko e sipi ʻe fitu afe, mo e kāmeli ʻe tolu afe, mo e taulua fanga pulu ʻe nimangeau, mo e ʻasi fefine ʻe nimangeau, mo e fuʻu ʻapi tokolahi ʻaupito; pea naʻe lahi taha ai ʻae tangata ni ʻi he kakai kotoa pē ʻoe potu hahake.
4 Via ŋutsuwo ɖoa nuɖukplɔ̃ na wo xɔlɔ̃wo ɖe woƒe aƒewo me ɖe wo nɔewo yome eye wokpea wo nɔvinyɔnu etɔ̃awo be woaɖu nu ano nu kple yewo.
Pea naʻe faʻa fai ʻe hono ngaahi foha ʻae kātoanga kai ʻi honau ngaahi fale, ʻo taki taha ʻi hono ʻaho; pea naʻe tala ki honau tuofefine ʻe toko tolu ke kai mo inu mo kinautolu.
5 Ne kplɔ̃ɖoɖo la dze wo dzi kpe ɖo vɔ la, Hiob dɔa ame ɖa woɖakɔa wo ŋuti. Esaa numevɔ ɖe wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe nu, le ŋdi kanya elabena esusuna be, “Ɖewohĩ vinyewo wɔ nu vɔ̃ eye wodo ɖiŋu na Mawu le woƒe dziwo me.” Esiae Hiob wɔna ɖaa.
Pea kuo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻenau fai kātoanga, naʻe fekau ʻe Siope ke fakatapui ʻakinautolu, pea ne tuʻu hengihengi hake, ʻo ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻo fakatatau ki honau tokolahi kotoa pē: he naʻe pehē ʻe Siope, naʻa kuo angahala ʻa hoku ngaahi foha, ʻo lea kovi ki he ʻOtua ʻi honau loto. Naʻe fai pehē pe ʻa Siope ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
6 Gbe ɖeka la, dziƒodɔlawo va be woatsɔ wo ɖokui afia Yehowa, eye Satana hã nɔ wo dome.
Ka naʻe ai ʻae ʻaho naʻe fakataha ai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe ʻOtua ke fakahā ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe haʻu ai foki ʻa Sētane mo kinautolu.
7 Yehowa bia Satana be, “Afi ka nètso?” Satana ɖo eŋu na Yehowa be, “Metso tsatsa ge le anyigba dzi, menɔ yiyim nɔ gbɔgbɔm le edzi.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Ko hoʻo haʻu mei fē?” Pea tali ʻe Sētane kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Mei heʻeku fakatakamilo ʻa māmani mo ʻeku feʻaluʻaki fano ʻi ai.”
8 Tete Yehowa bia Satana be, “Èlé ŋku ɖe nye dɔla Hiob ŋua? Ame aɖeke mele anyigba dzi de enu o; enye mokakamanɔŋutɔ kple ame dzɔdzɔe, ŋutsu si vɔ̃a Mawu eye wòtsri nu vɔ̃ɖi.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Kuo ke tokangaʻi ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Siope, he ʻoku ʻikai hano tatau ʻi māmani, ko e tangata haohaoa mo angatonu, ʻoku manavahē ia ki he ʻOtua, pea afe mei he kovi?”
9 Ke Satana bia Mawu be, “Ɖe Hiob vɔ̃a Mawu dzodzroa?
Pea naʻe tali ai ʻe Sētane kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “He kuo manavahē ʻa Siope ki he ʻOtua taʻehatotongi?
10 Menye wòe tɔ kpɔ ƒo xlã eya amea, eƒemetɔwo kple nu sia nu si le esi la oa? Èyra eƒe asinudɔwo ale be eƒe alẽhawo kple lãhawo gbagbã ɖe anyigba dzi.
ʻIkai kuo ke takatakai ʻaki ia ʻae ʻā, mo hono fale, mo ʻene meʻa kotoa pē mei he potu kotoa pē? Pea kuo ke fakamonūʻiaʻi ʻae ngāue ʻa hono nima, pea ʻoku tupulekina ʻene koloa ʻi he fonua.
11 Ke do wò asi ɖa, ne nàxlã asi ɖe nu siwo katã le esi, ekema le nyateƒe me aƒo fi ade wò le wò ŋutɔ wò ŋkume.”
Kae mafao atu eni ho nima, ʻo taaʻi ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻana, pea te ne lauʻikoviʻi koe ʻi ho fofonga.”
12 Yehowa gblɔ na Satana be, “Enyo ta, nu sia nu si le esi la le asiwò me, ke mègaka asibidɛ eya amea ŋutɔ ŋu o.” Ale Satana dzo le Yehowa ŋkume.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻi ho nima ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻana; kaeʻoua naʻa ke hilifaki ho nima kiate ia.” Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Sētane mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
13 Gbe ɖeka la, esime Hiob ƒe viŋutsuwo kple via nyɔnuwo nɔ nu ɖum, nɔ wain nom le wo nɔvi tsitsitɔ ƒe aƒe me la,
Pea naʻe ai ʻae ʻaho naʻe kai mo inu uaine ʻe hono ngaahi foha mo hono ngaahi ʻofefine ʻi he fale ʻo honau taʻokete lahi:
14 dɔla aɖe va Hiob gbɔ gblɔ nɛ be, “Nyiawo nɔ agble ŋlɔm, tedziawo nɔ gbe ɖum le wo gbɔ lɔƒo,
Pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae talafekau kia Siope, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe fai ʻae keli ʻe he fanga pulu, pea kai ʻae fanga ʻasi ʻi he potu ofi ki ai:
15 kasia Sebeatɔwo va dze wo dzi kplɔ wo dzoe. Wowu dɔlawo kple yi eye nye ɖeka koe te ŋu si be mava gblɔe na wò!”
Pea naʻe ʻoho mai ʻae kakai Sipa ʻo ʻave ʻakinautolu; pea kuo nau tāmateʻi ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
16 Esi wòganɔ nu ƒom ko la, dɔla bubu va eye wògblɔ be, “Mawu ƒe dzo ge tso dziƒo eye wòfia alẽawo kple dɔlawo, nye ɖeka koe si be mava gblɔe na wò!”
Pea lolotonga ʻene lea mo ʻene haʻu foki ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo tō mai mei he langi ʻae afi ʻae ʻOtua, pea kuo vela ai ʻae fanga sipi, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
17 Esi mekpɔ ɖe nu le nya la me o la, dɔla bubu va gblɔ be, “Kaldeatɔwo ƒe adzoha etɔ̃ va dze wò kposɔwo dzi eye wolé wo dzoe. Wowu dɔlawo kple yi, nye ɖeka koe te ŋu si be mava gblɔe na wò!”
Pea lolotonga ʻene lea mo ʻene haʻu foki ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe vahe tolu ʻae kongakau Kalitia, ʻonau ʻoho mai ki he fanga kāmeli, pea ʻave ia, pea kuo nau tāmateʻi ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
18 Esi ame sia hã mekpɔ ɖe nu le nya si gblɔm wònɔ me o la, dɔla bubu ge ɖe eme eye wògblɔ be, “Viwò ŋutsuwo kple nyɔnuwo nɔ nu ɖum, nɔ wain nom le wo nɔvi tsitsitɔ ƒe aƒe me.
Pea lolotonga ʻene lea mo ʻene haʻu foki ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe kai mo inu uaine ʻa ho ngaahi foha mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine ʻi he fale ʻo honau taʻokete lahi:
19 Kasia ya sesẽ aɖe ƒo tso gbegbe va lɔ xɔ la ƒe dzogoe eneawo ɖe me. Tete xɔ la mu dze wo dzi eye woku; nye ɖeka koe te ŋu si be mava gblɔe na wò!”
Pea ʻiloange, kuo hā mai ʻae fuʻu matangi lahi mei he toafa, ʻo taaʻi hono tuliki ʻe fā ʻoe fale, pea naʻe holo ia ki he kau talavou, pea kuo nau mate; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
20 Esi Hiob se esia la, etso hedze eƒe awu ʋlaya eye wòlũ eƒe taɖa. Edze klo de ta agu,
Pea naʻe toki tuʻu hake ʻa Siope, ʻo ne haehae hono pulupulu, ʻo fakatekefua ia, pea fakafoʻohifo ki he kelekele, ʻo hū.
21 hedo gbe ɖa be, “Amamae menɔ hafi do go tso danye ƒe dɔ me, eye amamae manɔ hafi atrɔ adzo. Yehowae na eye Yehowae gaxɔe; woakafu Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ!”
ʻO ne pehē, “Naʻaku haʻu telefua pe mei he manāva ʻo ʻeku faʻē, pea te u toe ʻalu telefua atu pe: naʻe foaki ʻe Sihova, pea kuo toʻo atu ʻe Sihova; fakafetaʻi pe ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.”
22 Le esiawo katã me la, Hiob mewɔ nu vɔ̃ to fɔbubu Mawu me be ewɔ nu gbegblẽ o.
ʻI he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē naʻe ʻikai angahala ʻa Siope, pe tuku ha kovi ki he ʻOtua.
