< Siope 2 >

1 Pea naʻe toe ai ʻae ʻaho naʻe fakataha ai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe ʻOtua ke fakahā ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe haʻu ai foki ʻa Sētane mo kinautolu ke fakahā ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
Da foforo bi, abɔfo no baa Awurade anim bio na Satan nso kaa wɔn ho bae.
2 Pea pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Kuo ke haʻu mei fē?” Pea tali ʻe Sētane kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Mei heʻeku fakatakamilo ʻa māmani, mo ʻeku feʻaluʻaki fano ʻi ai.”
Awurade bisaa Satan se, “Wufi he na wobaa ha?” Satan buaa Awurade se, “Mifi asase so akyinkyinakyinkyin ne emu akɔneabadi mu.”
3 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Kuo ke tokangaʻi ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Siope, he ʻoku ʻikai hano tatau ʻi māmani, ko e tangata haohaoa mo angatonu, ʻoku manavahē ia ki he ʻOtua, pea afe mei he kovi? Pea ʻoku ne kei kuku maʻu pe ʻene angatonu, ka naʻa ke ueʻi au ki ai, ke fakaʻauha ia taʻehanoʻuhinga.”
Na Awurade bisaa Satan se, “Woadwene mʼakoa Hiob ho ana? Obiara nte sɛ ɔno wɔ asase so, ne ho nni asɛm na ɔteɛ. Ɔyɛ onipa a osuro Onyankopɔn na okyi bɔne. Ɛwɔ mu sɛ wohyɛɛ me sɛ mensɛe no a minni nnyinaso biara de, nanso ɔda so gyina ne pɛpɛyɛ no mu.”
4 Pea naʻe tali ʻe Sētane kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Ko e kili maʻa e kili, ʻio, ʻe foaki ʻe he tangata ʻene meʻa kotoa pē ke ne moʻui ai.
Satan buaa Awurade sɛ, “Were pere were. Onipa de nea ɔwɔ nyinaa bɛma de apere ne nkwa.
5 Kae mafao atu eni ho nima, ʻo ala ki hono hui mo hono kakano, pea te ne lauʻikoviʻi koe ʻi ho fofonga.”
Sɛ ebetumi a teɛ wo nsa fa ka ne honam ne ne nnompe, na ɔbɛdome wo wɔ wʼanim!”
6 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻi ho nima ia; ka ko ʻene moʻui pe ʻe tapu.”
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Satan se, “Eye, ɔwɔ wo nsam na ne nkwa de gyaa mu ma no.”
7 Pea ʻalu ai ʻa Sētane mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻaki ʻa Siope ʻae ngaahi hangatāmaki mamahi, ʻo fai mei hono ʻaofi vaʻe ʻo aʻu ki hono tumuʻaki.
Enti Satan fii Awurade anim, na ɔmaa akuru a ɛyɛ yaw totɔɔ Hiob ho fi ne nʼanan ase kosii nʼapampam.
8 Pea ne toʻo ʻe ia ʻae konga ipu maumau ʻo teletele ʻaki ia; pea tangutu ia ʻi he efuefu.
Afei, na kyɛmfɛre na Hiob de twiw ne ho, bere a ɔte nsõ mu.
9 Pea pehē ai ʻe hono uaifi kiate ia, “ʻOku ke kei kuku hoʻo angatonu? Lea kovi ki he ʻOtua, ka ke mate.”
Ne yere bisaa no se, “Woda so kura wo pɛpɛyɛ no mu ara? Dome Onyankopɔn, na wu!”
10 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki ai, “Ko hoʻo lea ʻoku hangē ko e lea ʻa ha taha ʻi he kau fefine vale. ʻIo! he te tau maʻu koā ʻae lelei mei he nima ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ʻikai te tau maʻu mo e kovi?” ʻI he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē naʻe ʻikai angahala ʻa Siope ʻi hono loungutu.
Na Hiob buaa no sɛ, “Wokasa sɛ ɔbea a ɔyɛ ɔkwasea. Ade pa de yɛagye afi Onyankopɔn nsam na ade bɔne na yɛmpo ana?” Eyi nyinaa mu no, Hiob anka asɛm bɔne.
11 Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kāinga ʻe toko tolu ʻo Siope ki he kovi ni kotoa pē kuo tō kiate ia, naʻa nau haʻu mei honau potu taki taha; ko Elifasi mei Timani, mo Pilitati mei Suaa, mo Sofaa mei Neama: he kuo nau tālanga ke nau fakataha ke nau mamahi mo ia mo nau fakafiemālieʻi ia.
Bere a Hiob nnamfo baasa bi a wɔne Temanni Elifas, Suhini Bildad ne Naamani Sofar tee amanehunu a aba Hiob so no, wofii wɔn afi mu, hyia yɛɛ adwene sɛ wɔbɛkɔ akɔhwɛ no na wɔakyekye ne werɛ.
12 Pea ʻi heʻenau hanga hake kiate ia mei he mamaʻo, ʻo ʻikai ʻilo ia, naʻa nau tangi leʻo lahi; pea naʻa nau taki taha haehae hono pulupulu, mo lī ʻae efu ki ʻolunga ki honau ʻulu.
Wohuu Hiob fii akyiri no, wɔanhu sɛ ɛyɛ ɔno; wɔhyɛɛ ase twaa agyaadwo, sunsuan wɔn ntade mu, tuu mfutuma guu wɔn ti so.
13 Pea naʻa nau nonofo mo ia ʻi he kelekele ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu mo e pō ʻe fitu, pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi lea ha taha ki ai: he naʻa nau vakai kuo lahi ʻaupito ʻene mamahi.
Na wɔne no tenaa fam nnanson, awia ne anadwo. Na obiara ankasa, efisɛ wohuu sɛ nʼamanehunu no nyɛ adewa.
