1 UElihu waseqhubeka wathi:
Elihu toaa ne kasa so sɛ,
2 Ngibekezelela kancinyane, ngizakubonisa ukuthi kuseselamazwi ngoNkulunkulu.
“Monto mo bo ase kakra mma me, na mɛkyerɛ mo sɛ aka bebree a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛka ma Onyankopɔn.
3 Ngizathatha ulwazi lwami luvela khatshana, nginike ukulunga kuMenzi wami.
Menya me nimdeɛ firi akyirikyiri; mɛka sɛ me Yɛfoɔ bu atɛntenenee.
4 Ngoba isibili amazwi ami kawayisiwo amanga; opheleleyo elwazini ulawe.
Monnye ntom sɛ me nsɛm yɛ nokorɛ turodoo; na meyɛ obi a ne nimdeɛ so wɔ mo mu.
5 Khangela, uNkulunkulu ulamandla, njalo keyisi; mkhulu emandleni okuqedisisa.
“Onyankopɔn so, nanso, ɔntwiri nnipa; ɔkorɔn na ɔnhinhim ne botaeɛ mu.
6 Kayekeli omubi aphile, kodwa unika abayanga okulungileyo.
Ɔmma amumuyɛfoɔ ntena nkwa mu, na ɔde amanehunufoɔ kyɛfa ma wɔn.
7 Kasusi amehlo akhe kolungileyo, kodwa balamakhosi esihlalweni sobukhosi; yebo, uyawahlalisa phakade, abesephakama.
Ɔnnyi nʼani mfiri ɔteneneeni so. Ɔma wɔne ahemfo di adeɛ na ɔma wɔn so afebɔɔ.
8 Njalo uba bebotshiwe ngezibopho, bethunjwe ngezintambo zenhlupheko,
Na sɛ wɔde mpokyerɛ gu nnipa na amanehunu ahoma akyekyere wɔn papee a,
9 abesebatshela isenzo sabo, leziphambeko zabo, ukuthi zazilamandla.
ɔka deɛ wɔayɛ kyerɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnam ahantan so ayɛ bɔne.
10 Uyavula indlebe yabo ekulayweni, alaye baphenduke ebubini.
Ɔma wɔtie ntenesoɔ na ɔhyɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnnu wɔn ho wɔn bɔne ho.
11 Uba belalela, bamkhonze, bazachitha insuku zabo kokuhle, leminyaka yabo ezintokozweni.
Sɛ wɔyɛ ɔsetie na wɔsom no a, wɔbɛdi yie wɔ wɔn ɛnna a aka no mu na wɔn mfeɛ nyinaa ayɛ anisɔ ama wɔn.
12 Kodwa uba bengalaleli, bazadlula ngomkhonto, baphele bengelalwazi.
Na sɛ wɔantie no a, wɔbɛyera wɔ akofena ano, na wɔawuwu a wɔnni nimdeɛ.
13 Labangamesabiyo uNkulunkulu ngenhliziyo babuthelela intukuthelo; kabakhali esebabophile.
“Wɔn a wɔnnim Onyame no kora abufuo so; mpo sɛ ɔgu wɔn nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn a, wɔnsu mpɛ mmoa.
14 Umphefumulo wabo uzafela ebutsheni, lempilo yabo phakathi kwezinkotshana.
Wɔwuwu wɔn mmabunuberɛ mu wɔ adwaman mu, wɔ mmarima adwamanfoɔ a wɔtete abosonnan mu mu.
15 Uzakhulula ohluphekayo ekuhluphekeni kwakhe, avule indlebe yabo ecindezelweni.
Nanso, wɔn a wɔhunu amane no, ɔgye wɔn; na ɔkasa kyerɛ wɔn wɔ wɔn haw mu.
16 Yebo, lawe wakuhuga ukuthi uphume emlonyeni wocindezelo uye endaweni ebanzi, okungelacindezelo kuyo, lokuphezu kwetafula lakho kuzagcwala amanono.
“Ɔregye wo afiri ahohiahia mu de wo akɔ petee mu a ahokyere nnie, deɛ wowɔ asomdwoeɛ, na nnuane pa ayɛ wo ɛpono so ma.
17 Kodwa ugcwalise isigwebo somubi; isigwebo lokulunga kukubambile.
Nanso seesei, atemmuo a ɛfata amumuyɛfoɔ na aba wo so; atemmuo ne atɛntenenee asɔ wo mu.
18 Qaphela ulaka lungakuhugeli ekuklolodeni, lobukhulu benhlawulo bungakuphambuli.
Hwɛ yie na obi amfa ahonya annaadaa wo; mma adanmudeɛ kɛseɛ bi ntwe wo.
19 Ubengalinganisa inotho yakho, ukuthi ubungebe ecindezelweni, lemizamo yonke elamandla?
Wʼahonya anaasɛ mpo wʼahohaw bebrebe nyinaa enti, worenkɔ amanehunu mu anaa?
20 Ungakhefuzeleli lobobusuku bokususwa kwabantu endaweni yabo.
Mpere anadwo ho, sɛ ɛmmɛpra nnipa mfiri wɔn afie mu.
21 Qaphela, ungaphendukeli ebubini, ngoba ukhethe lokho kulokuhlupheka.
Hwɛ na woannane ankɔ bɔne ho, deɛ ayɛ sɛ wopɛ sene amanehunu.
22 Khangela, uNkulunkulu uziphakamisa ngamandla akhe; ngubani ongumfundisi njengaye?
“Onyankopɔn yɛ kɛseɛ wɔ ne tumi mu. Hwan na ɔyɛ ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ sɛ ɔno?
23 Ngubani ommisele indlela yakhe? Kumbe ngubani othe: Wenze ububi?
Hwan na wahyehyɛ nʼakwan ama no anaa waka akyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Woayɛ mfomsoɔ.’
24 Khumbula ukuthi ukhulise umsebenzi wakhe, abahlabela ngawo abantu.
Kae na kamfo nʼadwuma a nnipa de nnwontoɔ akamfo no.
25 Bonke abantu bayawubona; umuntu uyawukhangela ekhatshana.
Adasamma nyinaa ahunu; nnipa hwɛ haa firi akyirikyiri.
26 Khangela, uNkulunkulu uphakeme, njalo kasimazi, lenani leminyaka yakhe kayilakuhlolwa.
Onyankopɔn yɛ kɛseɛ, ɛboro yɛn nteaseɛ so! Ne mfeɛ dodoɔ mu nni hwehwɛbea.
27 Ngoba wenyusa amathonsi amanzi, ahlambulule izulu njengenkungu yawo;
“Ɔtwetwe nsuo a ɛsosɔ, ma ɛdane osutɔ gu asutene mu;
28 amayezi alithululela phansi, lithonte kakhulu phezu komuntu.
na omununkum tɔ bosuo gu fam na osutɔ bebree gu adasamma so.
29 Yebo, kukhona yini ongaqedisisa ukwendlaleka kwamayezi, umsindo wedumba lakhe?
Hwan na ɔbɛtumi ate sɛdeɛ ɔtrɛtrɛ omununkum mu ase, sɛdeɛ ɔbobɔ mu firi nʼatenaeɛ?
30 Khangela, wendlala ukukhanya kwakhe phezu kwawo, agubuzele impande zolwandle.
Hwɛ sɛdeɛ ɔhwete nʼanyinam mu wɔ ne ho ma ɛkɔ ɛpo bunu mu.
31 Ngoba ngawo uyehlulela abantu, anike ukudla ngobunengi.
Yei ne ɛkwan a ɔfa so di amanaman no so na ɔma aduane bu wɔn so.
32 Ngezandla usibekela ukukhanya, abesekulaya ngalelo elingena phakathi.
Ɔde anyinam hyɛ ne nsam ma na ɔhyɛ no sɛ ɛnsi nʼagyiraeɛ.
33 Umdumo wakhe ubika ngakho, lenkomo ngenkungu eyenyukayo.
Nʼaprannaa bɔ ahum a ɛreba no ho nkaeɛ; na anantwie mpo ma wɔhunu sɛ ɛreba.
