< UJobe 16 >
1 UJobe wasephendula wathi:
Afei Hiob buae se,
2 “Sengezwa izinto ezinengi ezifana lalezi; lingabaduduzi ababi lina lonke!
“Mate nsɛm bebree a ɛte sɛ eyinom; na mo nyinaa moyɛ ogyamserewfo!
3 Zizaphela nini inkulumo zokubhuda kwenu lokhu? Kuyini okulihluphayo laphikelela nje lidaza inkani?
So mo kasa tenten no remma awiei ana? Dɛn na ɛhaw mo nti a mugu so regye akyinnye yi?
4 Lami bengingakhuluma njengani aluba yini elisesikhundleni sami; ngabe ngikhupha inkulumo ezimnandi ngilisola ngize nginikine ikhanda lami.
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 Kodwa umlomo wami ngabe uyaliqinisa; induduzo yezindebe zami idedise inhlungu zenu.
Nanso anka mɛhyɛ mo den; anka awerɛkyekye nsɛm a ebefi mʼanom no bɛma mo ahotɔ.
6 Kodwa nxa ngikhuluma, ubuhlungu obukimi kabudedi; loba ngingaze ngithule, kabupheli.
“Nanso sɛ mekasa a ɔyaw a mete no remmrɛ ase; na sɛ mankasa nso a, ɛrennyae.
7 Ngeqiniso, Nkulunkulu, usungiqede amandla; usuyitshabalalisile yonke imuli yami.
Onyankopɔn, ampa ara woama mabrɛ woasɛe me fi pasaa.
8 Usungibophile sekuyibo ubufakazi balokho; lokucikizeka kwami kuyakhula kungilahla.
Woakyekyere me, ama abɛyɛ adansedi; me so tew ara na ɛtew na edi adanse tia me.
9 UNkulunkulu uyanginxwanela angidlikize ngolaka lwakhe, angigedlele amazinyo; isitha sami singinyonkoloze ngamehlo ahlabayo.
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 Abantu bavula imilomo yabo bengihoza; bangimakala esihlathini bengihlambaza babambane bangihlanganyele.
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 UNkulunkulu usenginikele ebantwini ababi wangiphosela ezandleni zezigangi.
Onyankopɔn de me ama abɔnefo watow me ato amumɔyɛfo nsam.
12 Konke kwakukuhle kimi, kodwa wangibhidliza; wangixhakalaza ngentamo wangichoboza. Usengenze ngaba yinto yakhe yokunenjwa;
Na biribiara kɔ yiye ma me, nanso ɔdwerɛw me; osoo me kɔn mu, tow me hwee hɔ. Ɔde me asi nʼani so;
13 abacibi bemtshoko bakhe bangihanqile. Ungiciba izinso zami engelazwelo achithele inyongo yami phansi.
nʼagyantowfo atwa me ho ahyia, ohwirew mʼasaabo mu a wanhu me mmɔbɔ maa me bɔnwoma petee fam.
14 Ungisukela njalonjalo; angidumele njengebutho.
Ɔba me so bere biara; na ɔtow hyɛ me so sɛ ɔkofo.
15 Sengithungele isembatho sesaka emzimbeni wami ngathukuza ibunzi lami othulini.
“Mapam atweaatam akata me were so na masie mʼanintɔn wɔ mfutuma mu.
16 Ubuso bami sebubomvu ngokukhala, amathunzi anzima ahonqolozela amehlo ami;
Agyaadwotwa ama mʼani ayɛ kɔɔ; sunsuma kabii atwa mʼani ho ahyia,
17 kodwa izandla zami kaziluqhelanga udlakela, lomkhuleko wami uhlanzekile.
nanso me nsa nyɛɛ basabasayɛ biara na me mpaebɔ yɛ kann.
18 Awu mhlaba, ungaligqibeli igazi lami; sengathi lokukhala kwami kungaze kwacitshwa lanini!
“Asase, nkata me mogya so; na mma me sufrɛ to ntwa da!
19 Lakhathesi ufakazi wami usezulwini; umeli wami uphezulu khonale.
Mprempren mpo, me danseni wɔ ɔsoro; me kamafo wɔ soro hɔ.
20 Umeli wami ngumngane wami nxa amehlo ami empompoza inyembezi kuNkulunkulu;
Me dimafo yɛ mʼadamfo bere a mʼaniwa tew nisu gu Onyankopɔn so yi;
21 uyamncengela umuntu kuNkulunkulu njengomuntu encengela umngane wakhe.
ogyina onipa anan mu di ma no wɔ Onyankopɔn anim sɛnea obi di ma nʼadamfo no.
22 Kusasele iminyakana engemingaki andubana ngiye lapho kungabuywa khona.”
“Mfe kakraa bi akyi ansa na metu kwan akɔ koransan.
