UJobe 40
1 UThixo wathi kuJobe:
Afei Awurade buaa Hiob sɛ,
2 “Lowo ophikisana loSomandla angamqondisa na? Yena lowo obeka uNkulunkulu icala kamphendule!”
“Deɛ ɔne Otumfoɔ no wɔ asɛm no bɛtene ne so anaa? Ma deɛ ɔbɔ Onyankopɔn kwaadu no mmua no ɛ!”
3 Ngakho uJobe wasephendula uThixo wathi:
Na Hiob buaa Awurade sɛ,
4 “Kakungilingananga, ngingakuphendula njani na? Ngivala umlomo wami ngesandla sami.
“Mensɛ na memfata, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na matumi anya mmuaeɛ? Mede me nsa memua mʼano.
5 Ngikhulumile kanye, kodwa kangilampendulo, kabili, kodwa kangisayikukhuluma njalo.”
Makasa baako, nanso menni mmuaeɛ mprenu so, na merenkasa bio.”
6 UThixo wasekhuluma loJobe ephakathi kwesiphepho wathi:
Afei, Awurade firi ahum mu buaa Hiob sɛ,
7 “Qina njengendoda; ngizakubuza, wena uzangiphendula.
“Hyɛ wo ho den sɛ ɔbarima; mɛbisa wo nsɛm, na ɛsɛ sɛ wobua me.
8 Ungakusola na ukwahlulela kwami ngokulunga? Ungangilahla ukuze uzigeze na?
“Wobɛka mʼatemmuo ho asɛm bɔne anaa? Wobɛbu me fɔ de abu wo ho bem?
9 Ulayo ingalo enjengekaNkulunkulu na, njalo ilizwi lakho lingaduma njengelakhe yini?
Wowɔ abasa te sɛ Onyankopɔn deɛ, na wo nne bɛtumi abobom sɛ ne deɛ?
10 Nxa kunjalo zicecise ngobukhosi langenkazimulo, uzembathise ngodumo lobukhosi.
Ɛnneɛ fa animuonyam ne ɔhyerɛn hyehyɛ wo ho, na fira anidie ne kɛseyɛ.
11 Khulula ukuvutha kolaka lwakho, khangela wonke umuntu ozigqajayo umthobise,
Hwie wʼabufuhyeɛ 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 amumuyɛfoɔ so wɔ faako a wɔgyina hɔ.
13 Bambele bonke ndawonye othulini; goqela ubuso babo engcwabeni.
Sie wɔn nyinaa bɔ mu wɔ mfuturo mu; kata wɔn anim wɔ damena mu.
14 Lapho-ke lami ngizavuma kuwe ukuthi isandla sakho sokunene singakusindisa.
Na afei mʼankasa mɛgye atom sɛ wo ara wo basa nifa bɛtumi agye wo nkwa.
15 Khangela imvubu, engayidala kanye lawe njalo edla utshani njengenkomo.
“Hwɛ susono, deɛ meyɛɛ no kaa wo ho na ɔwe ɛserɛ te sɛ ɔnantwie.
16 Ilamandla amangalisayo okhalweni lwayo, amandla angaka emisipheni yesisu sayo!
Hwɛ ahoɔden a ɔwɔ wɔ nʼasene mu ne ahoɔden fufuo a ɛwɔ ne yafunu so wedeɛ mu!
17 Umsila wayo uyazunguza njengomsedari; imisipha yemilenze yayo yalukene.
Ne dua hinhim sɛ ntweneduro; ne srɛ mu ntini yɛ peperee.
18 Amathambo ayo alezimbobo zethusi, lezitho zayo zinjengemiqwayi yensimbi.
Ne nnompe te sɛ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ nnorobɛn, nʼabasa ne ne nan te sɛ nnadeɛ praban.
19 Iyingqala yezidalwa zikaNkulunkulu, kodwa uMenzi wayo angayehlula ngenkemba yakhe.
Ɔdi Onyankopɔn nsa ano adwuma mu kan, nanso ne Yɛfoɔ bɛtumi de akofena akɔ ne so.
20 Izintaba zimlethela izithelo zazo, kuthi zonke izilo zeganga zidlalele eduze.
Nkokoɔ fifiri wɔn nnɔbaeɛ ma no, na wiram mmoa nyinaa goro bɛn hɔ.
21 Ilala ngaphansi kwezihlahla ezibukekayo, isithekile phakathi kwemihlanga exhaphozini.
Nkasɛɛ nkasɛɛ nnua ase na ɔda, na atɛkyɛ mu demmire akata no so.
22 Izihlahla ezinhle ziyayisitha ngemithunzi yazo; imidubu okhunjini lomfula iyihonqolozele.
Nkasɛɛ nkasɛɛ nwunu no hata ne so; na nsunoa nnua atwa ne ho ahyia.
23 Nxa umfula uthwele izikhukhula kayethuki; kayithi thiki lokuba iJodani ithululela impophoma emlonyeni wayo.
Nsuo nworosoɔ nha no; mpo sɛ Yordan bobɔ ba nʼano a, ɔnni ɔhaw.
24 Ukhona yini ongayibamba ngamehlo, kumbe ayithiye ayibhoboze amakhala na?”
Obi bɛtumi akye no animono; anaa obi bɛtumi de afidie ayi no na wabɔne ne hwene mu?
