UJobe 12
1 Wasephendula uJobe wathi:
Na Hiob buae se,
2 Ngoba isibili lingabantu, lenhlakanipho izakufa lani.
“Akyinnye nni ho, mo ne nnipa no na muwu a na nyansa asa!
3 Lami ngilengqondo njengani, kangiphansi kulani. Njalo ngubani ongelazo izinto ezinje?
Nanso mewɔ adwene sɛ mo ara monnsen me. Hena na onnim saa nneɛma yi nyinaa?
4 Ngiyinhlekisa kumngane wami, obiza kuNkulunkulu amphendule; olungileyo oqondileyo uyinhlekisa.
“Mayɛ aserewde ama me nnamfonom, mefrɛɛ Onyankopɔn na obuae, aserewde teta bi, nanso meteɛ na me ho nni asɛm.
5 Uyisibane esidelelekayo emnakanweni wowonwabileyo; ulungele ukutshelela ngonyawo.
Nnipa a wɔn ho tɔ wɔn no bu amanehunu animtiaa sɛnea wobu wɔn a wɔn nan rewatiri no awiei animtiaa no.
6 Amathente abaphangi alokuthula, labamthukuthelisayo uNkulunkulu bavikelekile, kulowo oletha uNkulunkulu esandleni sakhe.
Wɔmmfa wɔn nsa nka akorɔmfo ntamadan, na wɔn a woyi Onyankopɔn abufuw wɔ bammɔ na Onyankopɔn bɔ nea ɔde ma wɔn ho ban.
7 Kodwa-ke buza khathesi inyamazana, zizakufundisa, lenyoni zamazulu, zizakutshela.
“Bisa mmoa no, na wɔbɛkyerɛ wo anaasɛ wim nnomaa no, na wɔbɛka akyerɛ wo
8 Kumbe khuluma lomhlaba, uzakufundisa, lenhlanzi zolwandle zizakulandisela.
anaasɛ kasa kyerɛ asase, na ɛbɛkyerɛ wo, anaasɛ ma po mu mpataa nka nkyerɛ wo.
9 Ngubani ongaziyo phakathi kwakho konke lokhu ukuthi isandla sikaJehova sikwenzile lokhu?
Wɔn nyinaa mu hena na onnim sɛ Awurade nsa na ayɛ eyi.
10 Okusesandleni sakhe umphefumulo wakho konke okuphilayo, lomoya wayo yonke inyama yomuntu.
Ne nsam na abɔde nyinaa home wɔ ne adesamma nyinaa home.
11 Indlebe kayihloli yini amazwi, njengolwanga luzinambithela ukudla?
So aso nsɔ nsɛm nhwɛ sɛnea tɛkrɛma ka aduan hwɛ no ana?
12 Kwabadala kakhulu kulenhlakanipho, lebudeni bezinsuku kulokuqedisisa.
Wonnya nyansa mfi mpanyin nkyɛn, na ɛnyɛ onyinkyɛ na ɛde ntease ba ana?
13 Kuye kukhona inhlakanipho lamandla, uleseluleko lokuqedisisa.
“Nyansa ne tumi yɛ Onyankopɔn de; afotu ne ntease yɛ ne dea.
14 Khangela, udiliza, kungabe kusakhiwa; uvalela umuntu, kungabe kusavulwa.
Nea obubu gu no, obiara rentumi nsi; nea ɔde no to afiase no, obiara rentumi nyi no.
15 Khangela, uvimbela amanzi, atshe; abesewathuma, agenqule umhlaba.
Sɛ ɔma osu gyae tɔ a, asase no so yɛ wosee; sɛ ogyaa osutɔ mu a, ɛsɛe asase no.
16 Kuye kukhona amandla lenhlakanipho; okhohlisiweyo lomkhohlisi bangabakhe.
Ahoɔden ne nkonimdi yɛ ne de osisifo ne nea wosisi no no nso yɛ ne de.
17 Ukhupha abeluleki bahambe behlutshulwe, enze abehluleli babe yizithutha.
Ɔpa afotufo ho ntama ma wɔkɔ na ɔma atemmufo yɛ nkwasea.
18 Uthukulula isibopho samakhosi, abophe umbhinco enkalweni zawo.
Ɔworɔw ahemfo nkyehama na ɔde abɔso bɔ wɔn asen.
19 Ukhupha abapristi bahambe behlutshulwe, awise abalamandla.
Ɔpa asɔfo ho ntama, na otu nnipa a wɔn ase atim akyɛ gu.
20 Uphambula inkulumo yabathembekileyo, asuse ukuqedisisa kwabasebekhulile.
Ɔka afotufo a wogye wɔn di no kasaboa hyɛ, na ogye mpanyimfo nhumu.
21 Uthela ukudelela phezu kweziphathamandla, axegise umbhinco wabalamandla.
Ɔde animguase gu atitiriw so na otintim gye ahoɔdenfo nsam akode.
22 Wembula izinto ezijulileyo ezisemnyameni, akhuphele ekukhanyeni ithunzi lokufa.
Ɔda sum mu nneɛma a ahintaw adi na ɔde sum kabii ba hann mu.
23 Enze izizwe zibe zinkulu, abesezichitha; andise izizwe, abesezisusa.
Ɔyɛ aman akɛse, na ɔsɛe wɔn; ɔtrɛw aman mu, na ɔhwete wɔn mu.
24 Ususa inhliziyo yenhloko zabantu bomhlaba, aziduhise enkangala engelandlela.
Ogye wiase akannifo adwene fi wɔn nsam; na ɔma wokyinkyin asase wosee a ɔkwan nna so so.
25 Ziphumputhe emnyameni kungelakukhanya, uzenza zidiyazele njengodakiweyo.
Wɔkeka wɔ sum mu a wonni kanea; na ɔma wɔtɔ ntintan sɛ asabowfo.”
