UJobe 5
1 Ake umemeze, ukhona ongakuphendula yini? Uzaphendukela kuwuphi wabangcwele?
“Wopɛ a frɛ, na hwan na ɔbɛgye wo soɔ? Akronkronfoɔ no mu hwan nkyɛn na wobɛkorɔ?
2 Ngoba ulaka luyasibulala isiwula, lomhawu ubulale isiphukuphuku.
Ahisɛm kum ɔkwasea, na anibereɛ kum atetekwaa.
3 Mina ngibone isiwula sigxila, kodwa ngahle ngaqalekisa indawo yaso yokuhlala.
Mʼankasa mahunu ɔkwasea a ɔrefefɛ, nanso, mpofirim, wɔdomee ne fie.
4 Abantwana baso bakhatshana losindiso, bachothozwa esangweni, njalo kungekho umkhululi.
Ne mma ne banbɔ ntam ɛkwan ware, wɔdwerɛ wɔn wɔ asɛnniiɛ a wɔnnya ɔkamafoɔ.
5 Osivuno saso olambileyo uyasidla, esithatha lemeveni, lomphangi uginya inotho yaso.
Deɛ ɛkɔm de noɔ no di ne nnɔbaeɛ, na ɔfa firi nkasɛɛ mu mpo, na deɛ osukɔm de noɔ no pere di nʼahodeɛ akyi.
6 Ngoba usizi kaluveli ethulini, lenhlupheko kayihlumi emhlabathini.
Ahokyere mmpue mfiri dɔteɛ mu na ɔhaw nso mmpue mfiri fam.
7 Kube kanti umuntu uzalelwe inhlupheko njengoba inhlansi ziqhatshela phezulu.
Nanso wɔwo nnipa to ɔhaw mu mpɛn dodoɔ a ogyaframa turi kɔ ɔsoro.
8 Kodwa mina bengizadinga uNkulunkulu, lakuNkulunkulu bengizabeka udaba lwami.
“Nanso sɛ ɛyɛ me a, anka mɛdwane atoa Onyankopɔn; na mede mʼasɛm ato nʼanim.
9 Owenza izinto ezinkulu lezingelakuhlolwa, imimangaliso engelakubalwa.
Ɔyɛ anwanwadeɛ a wɔntumi nhwehwɛ mu, ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a wɔntumi nkan ne dodoɔ.
10 Onika izulu ebusweni bomhlaba, athumele amanzi ebusweni bamaphandle,
Ɔtɔ nsuo gu asase so; na ɔde kɔ wira mu.
11 ukuze abamise phezulu abaphansi, ukuze abalilayo baphakanyiselwe ekuvikelekeni.
Ɔde ahobrɛasefoɔ si deɛ ɛkorɔn, na ɔma wɔn a wɔdi awerɛhoɔ nya asomdwoeɛ.
12 Uchitha amacebo abalobuqili, ukuze izandla zabo zingenzi cebo.
Ɔsɛe anifirefoɔ nhyehyɛeɛ, ma wɔn nsa si fam.
13 Ubamba abahlakaniphileyo ebuqilini babo, ukuze icebo labangaqondanga liwiselwe phansi.
Ɔkyere anyansafoɔ wɔ wɔn anifire mu, na ɔbɔ anitefoɔ nhyehyɛeɛ gu.
14 Bahlangana lomnyama emini, baphumputhe phakathi kwemini njengebusuku.
Esum duru wɔn awia ketee; na wɔkeka owigyinaeɛ te sɛ anadwo.
15 Kodwa ukhulula umyanga enkembeni, emlonyeni wabo, lesandleni solamandla.
Ɔgye ahiafoɔ firi afena a ɛhyɛ wɔn anomu; ɔgye wɔn firi ahoɔdenfoɔ nkyehoma mu.
16 Ngakho umyanga ulethemba, lobubi buzavala umlomo wabo.
Enti, ahiafoɔ wɔ anidasoɔ, na ntɛnkyea ka nʼano to mu.
17 Khangela, ubusisiwe lowomuntu uNkulunkulu amlayayo; ngakho ungadeleli ukukhuza kukaSomandla.
“Nhyira ne onipa a Onyankopɔn tene no, enti mmu Otumfoɔ ntenetene no animtiaa.
18 Ngoba yena uzwisa ubuhlungu, abuye abophe; uyalimaza, lezandla zakhe ziyapholisa.
Ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno na ɔpira na ɔno ara akyekyere; ɔpira nanso ne nsa sa yadeɛ.
19 Uzakukhulula enhluphekweni eziyisithupha, lakweziyisikhombisa ububi kabuyikukuthinta.
Ɔbɛgye wo afiri ɔhaw ahodoɔ nsia mu; nson so, a bɔne biara renka wo.
20 Endlaleni uzakuhlenga ekufeni, lempini emandleni enkemba.
Ɛkɔm ba a, ɔbɛgye wo afiri owuo mu, na ɔko mu nso, ɔbɛgye wo afiri afena ano.
21 Uzafihlelwa isiswepu solimi, njalo kawuyikwesaba incithakalo lapho ifika.
Wɔbɛbɔ wo ho ban afiri kasatwie ho na sɛ ɔsɛeɛ ba a, ɛnsɛ sɛ wosuro.
22 Uzahleka incithakalo lendlala, njalo kawuyikwesaba izilo zomhlaba.
Wobɛsere ɔsɛeɛ ne ɔkɔm; na ɛnsɛ sɛ wosuro asase so mmoa.
23 Ngoba uzakuba lesivumelwano lamatshe eganga, lezilo zeganga zizakuba lokuthula lawe.
Wo ne afuo so aboɔ bɛyɛ apam, na emu nkekaboa nso ne wo bɛtena asomdwoeɛ mu.
24 Njalo uzakwazi ukuthi ithente lakho lilokuthula, uzakwethekela indawo yakho yokuhlala ungasweli lutho.
Wobɛhunu sɛ wo ntomadan wɔ banbɔ; na sɛ wosese wʼahodeɛ a, wobɛhunu sɛ hwee nyeraeɛ.
25 Uzakwazi futhi ukuthi inzalo yakho izakuba nengi, lembewu yakho njengotshani bomhlaba.
Wobɛhunu sɛ wo mma bɛyɛ bebree; na wʼasefoɔ bɛdɔre sɛ ɛserɛ.
26 Uzafika engcwabeni lakho usuluphele, njengenqumbi zamabele zisenyuka ngesikhathi sawo.
Wode ahoɔden bɛkɔ damena mu, te sɛ afiafi a wɔaboa ano wɔ otwa berɛ mu.
27 Khangela lokhu, sesikuhlolile; kunjalo. Kuzwe, uzazele wena.
“Yɛahwehwɛ yei mu, na ɛyɛ nokorɛ ɛno enti tie na fa toto wʼabrabɔ ho.”
