< UJobe 13 >
1 Khangela, konke ilihlo lami likubonile, indlebe yami izwile yakuqedisisa.
“Mʼani ahu eyinom nyinaa, mʼaso ate, na ate ase.
2 Njengokolwazi lwenu lami ngiyakwazi; kangiphansi kulani.
Nea wunim no, me nso minim; wonyɛ abomfiaa mma me.
3 Kodwa mina ngizakhuluma loSomandla, ngifisa ukuqondisana loNkulunkulu.
Nanso mepɛ sɛ mekasa kyerɛ Otumfo no na mekyerɛkyerɛ mʼasɛm mu kyerɛ Onyankopɔn.
4 Kodwa lina-ke ligcona ngamanga, lonke lingabelaphi abangelamsebenzi.
Mode atoro mmom na asra me ho; mo nyinaa moyɛ ayaresafo a munsi hwee!
5 Kungathi ngabe liyathula lithi zwi; lokhu kube yinhlakanipho kini!
Sɛ mobɛyɛ komm koraa a ɛno na ɛbɛyɛ nyansa ama mo!
6 Ake lizwe ukuzivikela kwami, lilalele impikiso zendebe zami.
Afei muntie mʼano asɛm; muntie mʼanoyi.
7 Lizamkhulumela uNkulunkulu ngokubi, limkhulumele ngenkohliso yini?
Mobɛka amumɔyɛsɛm ama Onyankopɔn ana? Mobɛka nnaadaasɛm ama no ana?
8 Lizakwemukela ubuso bakhe, lizammela yini uNkulunkulu?
Mobɛkyea mo aso ama no? Mobɛka Onyankopɔn asɛm ama no ana?
9 Kuzakuba kuhle yini lapho elihlola? Lizamkhohlisa yini njengokhohlisa umuntu?
Sɛ ɔhwehwɛ mo mu a, ebesi mo yiye ana? Mubetumi adaadaa no sɛnea modaadaa nnipa no ana?
10 Isibili uzalisola, uba lisemukela ubuso ensitha.
Sɛ mokyeaa mo aso wɔ kokoa mu a, sɛnea ɛte biara, ɔbɛka mo anim
11 Ubukhulu bakhe kabulethusi yini, lokwesabeka kwakhe kulehlele?
Nʼanuonyam mmɔ mo hu ana? Ne ho suro ntɔ mo so ana?
12 Izikhumbuzo zenu ziyizaga zomlotha, izivikelo zenu ziyizivikelo zebumba.
Mo kasatɔmmɛ yɛ mmɛbu a ɛte sɛ nsõ; mo anoyi yɛ dɔte twann anoyi.
13 Thulani lingiyekele, ukuze ngikhulume mina; kungehlele loba kuyini.
“Monyɛ komm mma menkasa; na nea ɛbɛyɛ me biara mmra me so.
14 Ngizayithathelani inyama yami ngamazinyo ami, ngibeke impilo yami esandleni sami?
Adɛn nti na mede me ho to amane mu na mede me nkwa to me nsam?
15 Lanxa ezangibulala, ngizathemba kuye. Kanti ngizazimela indlela zami phambi kwakhe.
Ɛwɔ mu sɛ okum me de, nanso ne so na mʼani bɛda; ampa ara medi mʼakwan ho adanse wɔ nʼanim.
16 Njalo uzakuba lusindiso lwami; ngoba umzenzisi kayikuza phambi kwakhe.
Nokware, eyi na ɛbɛyɛ me nkwagye, efisɛ nea onsuro Onyankopɔn no rentumi nkɔ nʼanim!
17 Zwisisani ilizwi lami, lengcazelo yami ngendlebe zenu.
Muntie me nsɛm yi yiye; monyɛ aso mma nea meka.
18 Khangelani-ke, sengilubeke kuhle udaba lwami, ngiyazi ukuthi mina ngizalungisiswa.
Afei a masiesie me nkurobɔ yi, minim sɛ medi bem.
19 Ngubani lowo ozaphikisana lami? Nxa khathesi ngithula ngizaphela.
Obi betumi abɔ me kwaadu ana? Sɛ ɛte saa de a, anka mɛyɛ komm na mawu.
20 Kuphela ungenzi izinto ezimbili kimi; khona ngingayikucatshela ubuso bakho.
“Onyankopɔn, yɛ saa nneɛma abien yi pɛ ma me, na afei meremfa me ho nhintaw wo:
21 Susela khatshana lami isandla sakho, lokwesabeka kwakho kungangethusi.
Yi wo nsa fi me so kɔ akyirikyiri, na gyae wo ho hu a wode hunahuna me no.
22 Ubusungibiza, mina ngizaphendula; kumbe ngikhulume, ungiphendule.
Ɛno de, samena me na mɛba, anaa ma menkasa na bua me.
23 Zingaki iziphambeko lezono engilazo? Ngazisa isiphambeko sami lesono sami.
Mfomso ne bɔne dodow ahe na mayɛ? Kyerɛ me me mfomso ne me bɔne.
24 Ufihlelani ubuso bakho, ungiphathe njengesitha sakho?
Adɛn nti na wode wʼanim asie me na wudwen sɛ meyɛ wo tamfo?
25 Uzakwethusa yini ihlamvu eliphephethekayo? Njalo uzaxotshana lomule owomileyo yini?
Wobɛyɛ ahaban a mframa rebɔ no ayayade ana? Wobɛtaa ntɛtɛ a awo ana?
26 Ngoba ubale izinto ezibabayo umelene lami, wangenza ngadla ilifa leziphambeko zobutsha bami.
Wokyerɛw sobo a ɛyɛ yaw tia me, na woka me mmabunmmere mu bɔne nyinaa gu me so.
27 Ufake lenyawo zami esigodweni, waqaphela zonke indlela zami, wazidweba uluphawu empandeni zezinyawo zami.
Wode nkyehama gu mʼanan; wohwɛ mʼanammɔnkwan nyinaa so yiye na wode agyiraehyɛde ayeyɛ mʼanammɔn mu.
28 Yena-ke njengokubolileyo uyaguga, njengesembatho inundu esidlayo.
“Enti onipa nkwa sa te sɛ ade a aporɔw, te sɛ atade a nwewee adi.
