UJobe 19
1 Wasephendula uJobe wathi:
Na Hiob kasaa bio sɛ,
2 Koze kube nini lihlupha umphefumulo wami, lingiphahlaza ngamazwi?
“Mobɛhyɛ me aniɛyaa na mode nsɛm abubu me akɔsi da bɛn?
3 Lezizikhathi ezilitshumi lingithela ngehlazo; kalilanhloni, lingiphatha kubi.
Mpɛn edu nie a moasopa me; mo ani nwu sɛ moto hyɛ me so.
4 Uba-ke kuliqiniso ukuthi ngiduhile, ukuduha kwami kuzahlala lami.
Sɛ ɛyɛ nokorɛ sɛ mafom ɛkwan a, me mfomsoɔ yɛ me nko ara asɛm.
5 Uba isibili lizikhukhumeza phezu kwami, liphikisane lami ngehlazo lami,
Sɛ ampa sɛ mobɛma mo ho so wɔ me so na mode mʼanimguaseɛ ayɛ adanseɛ atia me a,
6 yazini-ke ukuthi nguNkulunkulu ongihlanekeleyo, wangigombolozela ngembule lakhe.
ɛnneɛ monhunu sɛ Onyankopɔn ayɛ me bɔne na ɔde nʼatena atwa me ho ahyia.
7 Khangela, ngiyamemeza ngithi: Okubi! Kodwa kangiphendulwa. Ngicela usizo, kodwa akulasahlulelo.
“Ɛwom sɛ mesu sɛ, ‘Wɔafom me’ deɛ, nanso obiara mmua me; meteam pɛ mmoa, nanso atɛntenenee biara nni hɔ.
8 Uyivalile indlela yami ngomduli ukuze ngingedluli, wamisa umnyama emikhondweni yami.
Wasi me ɛkwan enti mentumi mensene; wama mʼakwan so aduru sum.
9 Ungihlubule udumo lwami, wasusa umqhele wekhanda lami.
Wayi mʼanimuonyam afiri me so na watu mʼahenkyɛ afiri me ti so.
10 Ungibhidlizile inhlangothi zonke, sengihambile, ulisiphule ithemba lami njengesihlahla.
Wasɛe me akwannuasa nyinaa so de awie me; watu mʼanidasoɔ ase te sɛ dua.
11 Ulumathisile ulaka lwakhe kimi, ungibale njengezitha zakhe kuye.
Nʼabufuo huru tia me; na wakan me afra nʼatamfoɔ mu.
12 Amabutho akhe afika kanyekanye, abuthelela indlela yawo emelene lami, amisa inkamba agombolozela ithente lami.
Nʼakodɔm ba anibereɛ so; wɔsisi mpie de tia me na wɔtwa me ntomadan ho hyia.
13 Ubeke abafowethu khatshana lami, labangaziyo isibili sebengabemzini kimi.
“Wayi me nuammarima afiri me ho; na mʼamanifoɔ nso, watwe wɔn ho koraa.
14 Izihlobo zami zinyamalele, labazana lami bangikhohliwe.
Mʼabusuafoɔ kɔ; na me nnamfonom werɛ afiri me.
15 Abahlala endlini yami lencekukazi zami bangibala njengowezizwe; ngingumfokazi emehlweni abo.
Mʼahɔhoɔ ne me mmaawa bu me sɛ ɔhɔhoɔ; mete sɛ ɔnanani ma wɔn.
16 Ngabiza inceku yami, kodwa kayiphendulanga; ngayincenga ngomlomo wami.
Mefrɛ me ɔsomfoɔ, na ɔmmua; mpo, mete mʼano srɛ no.
17 Umoya wami uyenyanyeka kumkami, sengiyisinengiso kumadodana esizalo sami.
Me home bɔn me yere; me ho afono mʼankasa nuammarima.
18 Labantwana abancinyane bayangidelela; ngasukuma, basebekhuluma bemelene lami.
Mpo, mmarimmaa nkumaa bu me animtiaa; sɛ mepue a wɔdi me ho fɛw.
19 Bonke abantu besifuba sami banengwa yimi, labo ebengibathanda sebengiphendukele.
Me nnamfo berɛboɔ kyiri me; mʼadɔfoɔ asɔre atia me.
20 Ithambo lami linamathelana lesikhumba sami lenyama yami, njalo ngiphephe ngesikhumba samazinyo ami.
Maka honam ne nnompe, na ɛkaa kakraa bi, anka merewu.
21 Ngihawukelani, ngihawukelani, lina bangane bami; ngoba isandla sikaNkulunkulu singithintile.
“Monhunu me mmɔbɔ, me nnamfonom, monhunu mmɔbɔ, na Onyankopɔn nsa abɔ me.
22 Lingizingelelani njengoNkulunkulu, lingeneliswa yinyama yami?
Adɛn enti na motaa me so, sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn yɛ no? Na mommfa me honam mu yea yi saa ara?
23 Kungathi ngabe khathesi amazwi ami abhaliwe! Kungathi ngabe acindezelwe egwalweni!
“Ao, anka wɔmfa me nsɛm nhyɛ nwoma mu, anka wɔntwerɛ wɔ nwoma mmobɔeɛ so,
24 Ngabe abazwe ngepheni yensimbi langomnuso edwaleni kuze kube nininini!
anka wɔmfa dadeɛ twerɛdua nyiyi wɔ sumpii so, anaa wɔnkrukyire wɔ abotan so afebɔɔ.
25 Ngoba mina ngiyazi ukuthi umhlengi wami uyaphila, lekupheleni uzakuma emhlabathini.
Menim sɛ me odimafoɔ te ase, na awieeɛ no ɔbɛsɔre agyina asase so.
26 Lapho sekutshabalalise lokhu emva kwesikhumba sami, kanti enyameni yami ngizambona uNkulunkulu,
Na sɛ me wedeɛ wie sɛe a, mede mʼani bɛhunu Onyankopɔn.
27 mina engizazibonela yena, lamehlo ami azabona, hatshi omunye. Izinso zami seziphelile ngaphakathi kwami.
Me ara mɛhunu no mede mʼani, na ɛnyɛ obi foforɔ ani, bɛhunu no. Mʼakoma ho pere no wɔ me mu.
28 Kodwa lithi: Kungani simzingela? Ngoba impande yendaba itholakala kimi.
“Sɛ moka sɛ, ‘Yɛbɛteetee no, ɛfiri sɛ ɔhaw no firi ɔno ara’ a,
29 Lina yesabeni inkemba, ngoba ulaka luletha izijeziso zenkemba, ukuze lazi ukuthi sikhona isahlulelo.
ɛsɛ sɛ mosuro akofena no. Abufuo nam akofena so de asotwe bɛba, na mobɛhunu sɛ atemmuo wɔ hɔ.”
