UJobe 40
1 UThixo wathi kuJobe:
Afei Awurade buaa Hiob se,
2 “Lowo ophikisana loSomandla angamqondisa na? Yena lowo obeka uNkulunkulu icala kamphendule!”
“Nea ɔne Otumfo no wɔ asɛm no bɛteɛ ne so ana? Ma nea ɔbɔ Onyankopɔn kwaadu no mmua no ɛ!”
3 Ngakho uJobe wasephendula uThixo wathi:
Na Hiob buaa Awurade se,
4 “Kakungilingananga, ngingakuphendula njani na? Ngivala umlomo wami ngesandla sami.
“Mensɛ na memfata, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na matumi anya mmuae? Mede me nsa mua mʼano.
5 Ngikhulumile kanye, kodwa kangilampendulo, kabili, kodwa kangisayikukhuluma njalo.”
Makasa baako, nanso minni mmuae mprenu so, na merenkasa bio.”
6 UThixo wasekhuluma loJobe ephakathi kwesiphepho wathi:
Afei, Awurade fi ahum mu buaa Hiob se,
7 “Qina njengendoda; ngizakubuza, wena uzangiphendula.
“Hyɛ wo ho den sɛ ɔbarima; mebisa wo nsɛm, na ɛsɛ sɛ wubua me.
8 Ungakusola na ukwahlulela kwami ngokulunga? Ungangilahla ukuze uzigeze na?
“Wobɛka mʼatemmu ho asɛm bɔne ana? Wubebu me fɔ de abu wo ho bem ana?
9 Ulayo ingalo enjengekaNkulunkulu na, njalo ilizwi lakho lingaduma njengelakhe yini?
Wowɔ abasa te sɛ Onyankopɔn de, na wo nne betumi abobɔ mu sɛ ne de ana?
10 Nxa kunjalo zicecise ngobukhosi langenkazimulo, uzembathise ngodumo lobukhosi.
Ɛno de fa anuonyam ne ɔhyerɛn hyehyɛ wo ho, na fura nidi ne kɛseyɛ.
11 Khulula ukuvutha kolaka lwakho, khangela wonke umuntu ozigqajayo umthobise,
Hwie wʼabufuwhyew mmoroso no gu, hwɛ ɔhantanni biara na brɛ no ase,
12 khangela wonke umuntu ozigqajayo umbeke phansi, ubacobodise ababi khonapho abakhona.
hwɛ ɔhantanni biara na si no fam na tiatia amumɔyɛfo so wɔ faako a wogyina hɔ.
13 Bambele bonke ndawonye othulini; goqela ubuso babo engcwabeni.
Sie wɔn nyinaa bɔ mu wɔ mfutuma mu; kata wɔn anim wɔ ɔda mu.
14 Lapho-ke lami ngizavuma kuwe ukuthi isandla sakho sokunene singakusindisa.
Na afei mʼankasa megye ato mu sɛ wo ara wo basa nifa betumi agye wo nkwa.
15 Khangela imvubu, engayidala kanye lawe njalo edla utshani njengenkomo.
“Hwɛ susono, nea meyɛɛ no kaa wo ho na ɔwe sare te sɛ nantwi.
16 Ilamandla amangalisayo okhalweni lwayo, amandla angaka emisipheni yesisu sayo!
Hwɛ ahoɔden a ɔwɔ wɔ nʼasen mu ne ahoɔden a ɛwɔ ne yafunu so were mu!
17 Umsila wayo uyazunguza njengomsedari; imisipha yemilenze yayo yalukene.
Ne dua hinhim sɛ sida; ne srɛ mu ntin yɛ peperee.
18 Amathambo ayo alezimbobo zethusi, lezitho zayo zinjengemiqwayi yensimbi.
Ne nnompe te sɛ kɔbere mfrafrae dorobɛn, nʼabasa ne ne nʼanan te sɛ nnade praban.
19 Iyingqala yezidalwa zikaNkulunkulu, kodwa uMenzi wayo angayehlula ngenkemba yakhe.
Odi Onyankopɔn nsa ano adwuma mu kan, nanso ne Yɛfo betumi de nʼafoa akɔ ne so.
20 Izintaba zimlethela izithelo zazo, kuthi zonke izilo zeganga zidlalele eduze.
Nkoko fifi wɔn nnɔbae ma no, na wuram mmoa nyinaa goru bɛn hɔ.
21 Ilala ngaphansi kwezihlahla ezibukekayo, isithekile phakathi kwemihlanga exhaphozini.
Nsɔensɔe nnua ase na ɔda, na dontori mu demmire akata no so.
22 Izihlahla ezinhle ziyayisitha ngemithunzi yazo; imidubu okhunjini lomfula iyihonqolozele.
Nsɔensɔe nwini no kata ne so; na nsunoa nnua twa ne ho hyia.
23 Nxa umfula uthwele izikhukhula kayethuki; kayithi thiki lokuba iJodani ithululela impophoma emlonyeni wayo.
Nsu nworoso nhaw no; mpo sɛ Yordan bobɔ ba nʼano a, onni ɔhaw.
24 Ukhona yini ongayibamba ngamehlo, kumbe ayithiye ayibhoboze amakhala na?”
Obi betumi akyere no animono; anaa obi betumi de afiri ayi no na wabɔre ne hwene mu ana?
