1 Pea naʻe tali ʻe Siope, ʻo ne pehē,
Na Hiob buae se,
2 Ta ko kimoutolu pe ʻae kakai, pea ʻe mate mo kimoutolu ʻae poto.
“Akyinnye nni ho, mo ne nnipa no na muwu a na nyansa asa!
3 Ka ʻoku ai hoku loto ʻo hangē pe ko kimoutolu; ʻoku ʻikai te u siʻi hifo au kiate kimoutolu: ʻio, ko hai ʻoku ʻikai ke ne ʻilo ki he ngaahi meʻa pehē ni?
Nanso mewɔ adwene sɛ mo ara monnsen me. Hena na onnim saa nneɛma yi nyinaa?
4 ‌ʻOku ou tatau mo ha taha ʻoku taukaea ʻe hono kaungāʻapi, ʻo pehē, ʻoku ne ui ki he ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ne talia ia: ʻoku kata manukia ʻae tonuhia mo e angatonu.
“Mayɛ aserewde ama me nnamfonom, mefrɛɛ Onyankopɔn na obuae, aserewde teta bi, nanso meteɛ na me ho nni asɛm.
5 ‌ʻO hangē ko e maama kuo fakatukutukuʻi, ʻoku pehē ʻaia ʻoku meimei hekea hono vaʻe ʻi he mahalo ʻo ia ʻoku fiemālie.
Nnipa a wɔn ho tɔ wɔn no bu amanehunu animtiaa sɛnea wobu wɔn a wɔn nan rewatiri no awiei animtiaa no.
6 ‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻae ngaahi fale ʻoe kau kaihaʻa, pea ʻoku nofo fiemālie pē ʻakinautolu ʻoku fakahouhau ki he ʻOtua; ʻoku ʻatu lahi ʻe he ʻOtua ki honau nima.
Wɔmmfa wɔn nsa nka akorɔmfo ntamadan, na wɔn a woyi Onyankopɔn abufuw wɔ bammɔ na Onyankopɔn bɔ nea ɔde ma wɔn ho ban.
7 “Kae fehuʻi eni ki he fanga manu, pea te nau akoʻi koe; mo e fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā, pea te nau tala kiate koe:
“Bisa mmoa no, na wɔbɛkyerɛ wo anaasɛ wim nnomaa no, na wɔbɛka akyerɛ wo
8 Pea lea ki he fonua, pea te ne akoʻi koe: pea ʻe fakahā kiate koe ʻe he ngaahi ika ʻoe tahi.
anaasɛ kasa kyerɛ asase, na ɛbɛkyerɛ wo, anaasɛ ma po mu mpataa nka nkyerɛ wo.
9 Ko hai ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo ʻi he meʻa ni kotoa pē, ko e nima ʻo Sihova kuo ne fai eni?
Wɔn nyinaa mu hena na onnim sɛ Awurade nsa na ayɛ eyi.
10 ‌ʻAia ʻoku ʻi hono nima ʻae moʻui ʻae meʻa moʻui fulipē, mo e mānava ʻoe kakai kotoa pē.
Ne nsam na abɔde nyinaa home wɔ ne adesamma nyinaa home.
11 ‌ʻIkai ʻoku ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻe he telinga ʻae ngaahi lea? Pea kamata ʻe he ngutu hono kai?
So aso nsɔ nsɛm nhwɛ sɛnea tɛkrɛma ka aduan hwɛ no ana?
12 Pea ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻoku talu mei muʻa ʻae poto; pea ko e ʻilo ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho lahi.
Wonnya nyansa mfi mpanyin nkyɛn, na ɛnyɛ onyinkyɛ na ɛde ntease ba ana?
13 “ʻOku ʻiate ia ʻae poto mo e mālohi, ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae fakakaukau mo e ʻilo.
“Nyansa ne tumi yɛ Onyankopɔn de; afotu ne ntease yɛ ne dea.
14 Vakai, ʻoku ne holoki hifo, pea ʻe ʻikai faʻa toe fokotuʻu ia: ʻoku ne tāpuni ki he tangata, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke faʻa matoʻo.
Nea obubu gu no, obiara rentumi nsi; nea ɔde no to afiase no, obiara rentumi nyi no.
15 Vakai, ʻoku ne taʻofi ki he ngaahi vai, pea matuʻu ia: ʻoku ne fekau atu foki ia, pea ʻoku fulihi ʻe ia ʻae fonua.
Sɛ ɔma osu gyae tɔ a, asase no so yɛ wosee; sɛ ogyaa osutɔ mu a, ɛsɛe asase no.
16 ‌ʻOku ʻiate ia ʻae mālohi mo e poto, ʻoku ʻoʻona ʻae kākāʻia mo ia ʻoku kākā.
Ahoɔden ne nkonimdi yɛ ne de osisifo ne nea wosisi no no nso yɛ ne de.
17 ‌ʻOku ne taki pōpula ʻae kau fakakaukau, pea ne fakavaleʻi ʻae kau fakamaau.
Ɔpa afotufo ho ntama ma wɔkɔ na ɔma atemmufo yɛ nkwasea.
18 Ko e haʻi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi kuo ne vete, ka ne haʻihaʻi honau noʻotanga vala ʻaki ʻae haʻi.
Ɔworɔw ahemfo nkyehama na ɔde abɔso bɔ wɔn asen.
19 ‌ʻOku ne taki pōpula ʻae ngaahi houʻeiki, pea ʻoku ne lī ki lalo ʻae mālohi.
Ɔpa asɔfo ho ntama, na otu nnipa a wɔn ase atim akyɛ gu.
20 ‌ʻOku ne toʻo atu ʻae lea ʻae kau poto, pea toʻo mo e ʻilo ʻae mātuʻa.
Ɔka afotufo a wogye wɔn di no kasaboa hyɛ, na ogye mpanyimfo nhumu.
21 ‌ʻOku ne lilingi ʻae manukia ki he ngaahi houʻeiki, pea ne vete ʻae noʻo ʻoe mālohi.
Ɔde animguase gu atitiriw so na otintim gye ahoɔdenfo nsam akode.
22 ‌ʻOku ne fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa lilo mei he fakapoʻuli, pea ne ʻomi ki he maama ʻae ʻata ʻoe mate.
Ɔda sum mu nneɛma a ahintaw adi na ɔde sum kabii ba hann mu.
23 ‌ʻOku ne fakatokolahi ʻakinautolu ʻoku ne fakalahi ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga, pea toe fakasiʻisiʻi ia.
Ɔyɛ aman akɛse, na ɔsɛe wɔn; ɔtrɛw aman mu, na ɔhwete wɔn mu.
24 ‌ʻOku ne toʻo ʻo ʻave ʻae loto ʻoe ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe kakai ʻo māmani, ʻo ne pule ke nau ʻalu fano ʻi ha toafa taʻehahala.
Ogye wiase akannifo adwene fi wɔn nsam; na ɔma wokyinkyin asase wosee a ɔkwan nna so so.
25 ‌ʻOku nau tautaufā ʻi he poʻuli taʻehamaama, pea ʻoku ne pule ke nau fehēaki fano ʻo hangē ha konā.
Wɔkeka wɔ sum mu a wonni kanea; na ɔma wɔtɔ ntintan sɛ asabowfo.”
