UJobe 19
1 Wasephendula uJobe wathi:
Na Hiob buae se,
2 Koze kube nini lihlupha umphefumulo wami, lingiphahlaza ngamazwi?
“Mobɛhyɛ me ɔyaw na mode nsɛm abubu me akosi da bɛn?
3 Lezizikhathi ezilitshumi lingithela ngehlazo; kalilanhloni, lingiphatha kubi.
Mpɛn du ni a moasopa me; mo ani nwu sɛ motow hyɛ me so.
4 Uba-ke kuliqiniso ukuthi ngiduhile, ukuduha kwami kuzahlala lami.
Sɛ ɛyɛ nokware sɛ mafom ɔkwan a, me mfomso yɛ me nko ara asɛm.
5 Uba isibili lizikhukhumeza phezu kwami, liphikisane lami ngehlazo lami,
Sɛ ampa sɛ mobɛma mo ho so asen me na mode mʼanimguase ayɛ adanse atia me a,
6 yazini-ke ukuthi nguNkulunkulu ongihlanekeleyo, wangigombolozela ngembule lakhe.
ɛno de munhu sɛ Onyankopɔn ayɛ me bɔne na ɔde ne tan atwa me ho ahyia.
7 Khangela, ngiyamemeza ngithi: Okubi! Kodwa kangiphendulwa. Ngicela usizo, kodwa akulasahlulelo.
“Ɛwɔ mu, misu se, ‘Wɔafom me’ de, nanso obiara mmua me; meteɛ mu pɛ mmoa, nanso atɛntrenee biara nni hɔ.
8 Uyivalile indlela yami ngomduli ukuze ngingedluli, wamisa umnyama emikhondweni yami.
Wasiw me kwan enti mintumi nsen; ɔde sum aduru mʼakwan so.
9 Ungihlubule udumo lwami, wasusa umqhele wekhanda lami.
Wayi mʼanuonyam afi me so na watu mʼahenkyɛw afi me ti so.
10 Ungibhidlizile inhlangothi zonke, sengihambile, ulisiphule ithemba lami njengesihlahla.
Wasɛe me akwannuasa nyinaa so de awie me; watu mʼanidaso ase te sɛ dua.
11 Ulumathisile ulaka lwakhe kimi, ungibale njengezitha zakhe kuye.
Nʼabufuw huru tia me; na wakan me afra nʼatamfo mu.
12 Amabutho akhe afika kanyekanye, abuthelela indlela yawo emelene lami, amisa inkamba agombolozela ithente lami.
Nʼakofo ba anibere so; wosisi mpie de tia me na wotwa me ntamadan ho hyia.
13 Ubeke abafowethu khatshana lami, labangaziyo isibili sebengabemzini kimi.
“Wayi me nuabarimanom afi me ho; na mʼamanifo atwe wɔn ho koraa.
14 Izihlobo zami zinyamalele, labazana lami bangikhohliwe.
Mʼabusuafo kɔ; na me nnamfonom werɛ afi me.
15 Abahlala endlini yami lencekukazi zami bangibala njengowezizwe; ngingumfokazi emehlweni abo.
Mʼahɔho ne me mmaawa bu me sɛ ɔhɔho; mete sɛ ɔnanani ma wɔn.
16 Ngabiza inceku yami, kodwa kayiphendulanga; ngayincenga ngomlomo wami.
Mefrɛ me somfo, na ommua; mpo, metew mʼano srɛ no.
17 Umoya wami uyenyanyeka kumkami, sengiyisinengiso kumadodana esizalo sami.
Me home bɔn me yere; me ho afono mʼankasa nuabarimanom.
18 Labantwana abancinyane bayangidelela; ngasukuma, basebekhuluma bemelene lami.
Mpo, mmarimaa nkumaa bu me animtiaa; sɛ mipue a wodi me ho fɛw.
19 Bonke abantu besifuba sami banengwa yimi, labo ebengibathanda sebengiphendukele.
Me nnamfo ankasa nyinaa kyi me; mʼadɔfo asɔre atia me.
20 Ithambo lami linamathelana lesikhumba sami lenyama yami, njalo ngiphephe ngesikhumba samazinyo ami.
Maka were ne nnompe, nea mede aguan nkutoo ne me se akyi nam.
21 Ngihawukelani, ngihawukelani, lina bangane bami; ngoba isandla sikaNkulunkulu singithintile.
“Munhu me mmɔbɔ, me nnamfonom, munhu mmɔbɔ, na Onyankopɔn nsa abɔ me.
22 Lingizingelelani njengoNkulunkulu, lingeneliswa yinyama yami?
Adɛn nti na motaa me sɛnea Onyankopɔn yɛ no? Na mommfa me honam yi saa ara?
23 Kungathi ngabe khathesi amazwi ami abhaliwe! Kungathi ngabe acindezelwe egwalweni!
“Ao, sɛ anka wɔde me nsɛm bɛhyɛ nhoma mu, anka wɔbɛkyerɛw wɔ nhoma mmobɔwee so,
24 Ngabe abazwe ngepheni yensimbi langomnuso edwaleni kuze kube nininini!
anka wɔde dade pɛe bɛkyerɛw wɔ sumpii so, anaa wobekuruakyerɛw wɔ ɔbotan so afebɔɔ!
25 Ngoba mina ngiyazi ukuthi umhlengi wami uyaphila, lekupheleni uzakuma emhlabathini.
Minim sɛ me dimafo te ase, na awiei no ɔbɛsɔre agyina asase so.
26 Lapho sekutshabalalise lokhu emva kwesikhumba sami, kanti enyameni yami ngizambona uNkulunkulu,
Na wɔasɛe me were awie no, mefi me were mu ahu Onyankopɔn.
27 mina engizazibonela yena, lamehlo ami azabona, hatshi omunye. Izinso zami seziphelile ngaphakathi kwami.
Me ara mehu no mede mʼani, na ɛnyɛ obi foforo ani, behu no. Sɛnea me koma ho pere wɔ me mu!
28 Kodwa lithi: Kungani simzingela? Ngoba impande yendaba itholakala kimi.
“Sɛ moka se, ‘Yɛbɛteetee no, efisɛ ɔhaw no fi ɔno ara a,’
29 Lina yesabeni inkemba, ngoba ulaka luletha izijeziso zenkemba, ukuze lazi ukuthi sikhona isahlulelo.
ɛsɛ sɛ mo ankasa musuro afoa no na abufuw nam afoa so de asotwe bɛba, na mubehu sɛ atemmu wɔ hɔ.”
