UJobe 40
1 INkosi yasiphendula uJobe yathi:
Afei Awurade buaa Hiob se,
2 Ophikisana loSomandla uzamqondisa yini? Osola uNkulunkulu kakuphendule.
“Nea ɔne Otumfo no wɔ asɛm no bɛteɛ ne so ana? Ma nea ɔbɔ Onyankopɔn kwaadu no mmua no ɛ!”
3 UJobe waseyiphendula iNkosi wathi:
Na Hiob buaa Awurade se,
4 Khangela, ngiphansi; ngingakuphendula ngithini? Ngibeka isandla sami emlonyeni wami.
“Mensɛ na memfata, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na matumi anya mmuae? Mede me nsa mua mʼano.
5 Ngikhulumile kanye, kodwa kangiyikuphendula; kumbe kabili, kodwa kangiyikuqhubeka.
Makasa baako, nanso minni mmuae mprenu so, na merenkasa bio.”
6 INkosi yasimphendula uJobe isesivunguzaneni yathi:
Afei, Awurade fi ahum mu buaa Hiob se,
7 Bopha khathesi ukhalo lwakho njengendoda; ngizakubuza, ubusungazisa.
“Hyɛ wo ho den sɛ ɔbarima; mebisa wo nsɛm, na ɛsɛ sɛ wubua me.
8 Isibili, uzachitha isahlulelo sami yini? Ungilahle, ukuze ube ngolungileyo yini?
“Wobɛka mʼatemmu ho asɛm bɔne ana? Wubebu me fɔ de abu wo ho bem ana?
9 Njalo ulengalo yini njengoNkulunkulu? Kumbe ungaduma yini ngelizwi njengaye?
Wowɔ abasa te sɛ Onyankopɔn de, na wo nne betumi abobɔ mu sɛ ne de ana?
10 Khathesi zicecise ngobukhosi lokuphakama, uzembese ngodumo lenkazimulo.
Ɛno de fa anuonyam ne ɔhyerɛn hyehyɛ wo ho, na fura nidi ne kɛseyɛ.
11 Usabalalise intukuthelo zolaka lwakho, ukhangele wonke ozigqajayo, umthobise.
Hwie wʼabufuwhyew mmoroso no gu, hwɛ ɔhantanni biara na brɛ no ase,
12 Khangela wonke ozigqajayo, umehlisele phansi, unyathelele phansi ababi endaweni yabo.
hwɛ ɔhantanni biara na si no fam na tiatia amumɔyɛfo so wɔ faako a wogyina hɔ.
13 Ubafihle bonke ethulini, ubophe ubuso babo ngasese.
Sie wɔn nyinaa bɔ mu wɔ mfutuma mu; kata wɔn anim wɔ ɔda mu.
14 Khona lami ngizavuma kuwe, ukuthi isandla sakho sokunene singakusindisa.
Na afei mʼankasa megye ato mu sɛ wo ara wo basa nifa betumi agye wo nkwa.
15 Ake ukhangele imvubu engayenza kanye lawe; idla utshani njengenkabi.
“Hwɛ susono, nea meyɛɛ no kaa wo ho na ɔwe sare te sɛ nantwi.
16 Ake ukhangele, amandla ayo asekhalweni lwayo, lokuqina kwayo kusemisipheni yesisu sayo.
Hwɛ ahoɔden a ɔwɔ wɔ nʼasen mu ne ahoɔden a ɛwɔ ne yafunu so were mu!
17 Iyagobisa umsila wayo njengomsedari; imisipha yemilenze yayo yelukene.
Ne dua hinhim sɛ sida; ne srɛ mu ntin yɛ peperee.
18 Amathambo ayo anjengempompi zethusi, amathambo ayo anjengemigoqo yensimbi.
Ne nnompe te sɛ kɔbere mfrafrae dorobɛn, nʼabasa ne ne nʼanan te sɛ nnade praban.
19 Ingeyokuqala yezindlela zikaNkulunkulu; owayenzayo wasondeza inkemba yayo.
Odi Onyankopɔn nsa ano adwuma mu kan, nanso ne Yɛfo betumi de nʼafoa akɔ ne so.
20 Ngoba intaba ziyayivezela ukudla, lapho okudlala khona inyamazana zonke zeganga.
Nkoko fifi wɔn nnɔbae ma no, na wuram mmoa nyinaa goru bɛn hɔ.
21 Ilala phansi kwesihlahla esiluhlaza, ekusithekeni kwemihlanga lamaxhaphozi.
Nsɔensɔe nnua ase na ɔda, na dontori mu demmire akata no so.
22 Izihlahla eziluhlaza ziyayisibekela ngomthunzi wazo; imidubu yesifula iyayiphahla.
Nsɔensɔe nwini no kata ne so; na nsunoa nnua twa ne ho hyia.
23 Khangela, umfula uyayicindezela, kayiphangisi; ilesibindi lanxa iJordani ingaphuphumela emlonyeni wayo.
Nsu nworoso nhaw no; mpo sɛ Yordan bobɔ ba nʼano a, onni ɔhaw.
24 Ongayibamba yini ngamehlo ayo? Ongahlaba yini amakhala ayo ngemijibila?
Obi betumi akyere no animono; anaa obi betumi de afiri ayi no na wabɔre ne hwene mu ana?
