UJobe 5
1 Ake umemeze, ukhona ongakuphendula yini? Uzaphendukela kuwuphi wabangcwele?
“Wobɛfrɛ a frɛ, na hena na obegye wo so? Akronkronfo no mu hena nkyɛn na wobɛkɔ?
2 Ngoba ulaka luyasibulala isiwula, lomhawu ubulale isiphukuphuku.
Ahisɛm kum ɔkwasea, na anibere kum atetekwaa.
3 Mina ngibone isiwula sigxila, kodwa ngahle ngaqalekisa indawo yaso yokuhlala.
Mʼankasa mahu ɔkwasea a ɔrefefɛw, nanso mpofirim, wɔdomee ne fi.
4 Abantwana baso bakhatshana losindiso, bachothozwa esangweni, njalo kungekho umkhululi.
Ne mma ne bammɔ ntam kwan ware, wɔdwerɛw wɔn wɔ asennii a wonni ɔkamafo.
5 Osivuno saso olambileyo uyasidla, esithatha lemeveni, lomphangi uginya inotho yaso.
Nea ɔkɔm de no no di ne nnɔbae, na ɔfa fi nsɔe mu mpo, na nea osukɔm de no no pere di nʼahode akyi.
6 Ngoba usizi kaluveli ethulini, lenhlupheko kayihlumi emhlabathini.
Ahokyere mpue mmfi dɔte mu na ɔhaw nso mfifi mmfi fam.
7 Kube kanti umuntu uzalelwe inhlupheko njengoba inhlansi ziqhatshela phezulu.
Nanso wɔwo nnipa to ɔhaw mu mpɛn dodow a gyaframa turuw kɔ soro no.
8 Kodwa mina bengizadinga uNkulunkulu, lakuNkulunkulu bengizabeka udaba lwami.
“Nanso sɛ ɛyɛ me a, anka meguan atoa Onyankopɔn; na mede mʼasɛm ato nʼanim.
9 Owenza izinto ezinkulu lezingelakuhlolwa, imimangaliso engelakubalwa.
Ɔyɛ anwonwade a wontumi nhwehwɛ mu, ne nsɛnkyerɛnne a wontumi nkan ne dodow.
10 Onika izulu ebusweni bomhlaba, athumele amanzi ebusweni bamaphandle,
Ɔtɔ osu gu asase so; na ɔde kɔ wuram.
11 ukuze abamise phezulu abaphansi, ukuze abalilayo baphakanyiselwe ekuvikelekeni.
Ɔde ahobrɛasefo si nea ɛkorɔn, na ɔma wɔn a wodi awerɛhow nya asomdwoe.
12 Uchitha amacebo abalobuqili, ukuze izandla zabo zingenzi cebo.
Ɔsɛe aniferefo nhyehyɛe, ma wɔn nsa si fam.
13 Ubamba abahlakaniphileyo ebuqilini babo, ukuze icebo labangaqondanga liwiselwe phansi.
Ɔkyere anyansafo wɔ wɔn anifere mu, na ɔbɔ anitewfo nhyehyɛe gu.
14 Bahlangana lomnyama emini, baphumputhe phakathi kwemini njengebusuku.
Sum duru wɔn awia ketee; na wɔkeka wɔ owigyinae mu te sɛ anadwo.
15 Kodwa ukhulula umyanga enkembeni, emlonyeni wabo, lesandleni solamandla.
Ogye ahiafo fi afoa a ɛhyɛ wɔn anom; ogye wɔn fi ahoɔdenfo nkyehama mu.
16 Ngakho umyanga ulethemba, lobubi buzavala umlomo wabo.
Enti ahiafo wɔ anidaso, na ntɛnkyew ka nʼano to mu.
17 Khangela, ubusisiwe lowomuntu uNkulunkulu amlayayo; ngakho ungadeleli ukukhuza kukaSomandla.
“Nhyira ne onipa a Onyankopɔn teɛ no, enti mmu Otumfo nteɛteɛ no animtiaa.
18 Ngoba yena uzwisa ubuhlungu, abuye abophe; uyalimaza, lezandla zakhe ziyapholisa.
Efisɛ ɔno na opira na ɔno ara akyekyere; opira nanso ne nsa sa yare.
19 Uzakukhulula enhluphekweni eziyisithupha, lakweziyisikhombisa ububi kabuyikukuthinta.
Obegye wo afi ɔhaw ahorow asia mu; ason so no, bɔne biara renka wo.
20 Endlaleni uzakuhlenga ekufeni, lempini emandleni enkemba.
Ɔkɔm ba a, obegye wo afi owu mu, na ɔko mu nso, obegye wo afi afoa ano.
21 Uzafihlelwa isiswepu solimi, njalo kawuyikwesaba incithakalo lapho ifika.
Wɔbɛbɔ wo ho ban afi ntwirii ho na sɛ ɔsɛe ba a ɛnsɛ sɛ wusuro.
22 Uzahleka incithakalo lendlala, njalo kawuyikwesaba izilo zomhlaba.
Wobɛserew ɔsɛe ne ɔkɔm; na ɛnsɛ sɛ wusuro asase so mmoa.
23 Ngoba uzakuba lesivumelwano lamatshe eganga, lezilo zeganga zizakuba lokuthula lawe.
Wo ne afuw so abo bɛyɛ apam, na emu nkekaboa nso ne wo bɛtena asomdwoe mu.
24 Njalo uzakwazi ukuthi ithente lakho lilokuthula, uzakwethekela indawo yakho yokuhlala ungasweli lutho.
Wubehu sɛ wo ntamadan wɔ bammɔ; na sɛ wosese wʼahode a wubehu sɛ hwee nyeraa ɛ.
25 Uzakwazi futhi ukuthi inzalo yakho izakuba nengi, lembewu yakho njengotshani bomhlaba.
Wubehu sɛ wo mma bɛyɛ bebree; na wʼase bɛfɛe sɛ asase so sare.
26 Uzafika engcwabeni lakho usuluphele, njengenqumbi zamabele zisenyuka ngesikhathi sawo.
Wode ahoɔden bɛkɔ ɔda mu, te sɛ afiafi a wɔaboa ano wɔ otwabere mu.
27 Khangela lokhu, sesikuhlolile; kunjalo. Kuzwe, uzazele wena.
“Yɛahwehwɛ eyi mu, na ɛyɛ nokware ɛno nti tie na fa toto wʼabrabɔ ho.”
