Siope 1
1 Naʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻi he fonua ko Usa, naʻe hingoa ko Siope; pea naʻe haohaoa mo angatonu ʻae tangata ko ia, pea ne manavahē ia ki he ʻOtua, pea afe mei he kovi.
Ɔbarima bi tenaa ase wɔ Us asase so a na ne din de Hiob. Na ne ho nni asɛm na ɔyɛ pɛ; na ɔsuro Onyankopɔn, na ɔtwe ne ho firi bɔne ho.
2 Pea naʻe fanauʻi kiate ia ʻae foha ʻe toko fitu mo e ʻofefine ʻe toko tolu.
Na ɔwɔ mmammarima baason ne mmammaa baasa,
3 Ko ʻene koloa ko e sipi ʻe fitu afe, mo e kāmeli ʻe tolu afe, mo e taulua fanga pulu ʻe nimangeau, mo e ʻasi fefine ʻe nimangeau, mo e fuʻu ʻapi tokolahi ʻaupito; pea naʻe lahi taha ai ʻae tangata ni ʻi he kakai kotoa pē ʻoe potu hahake.
na ɔwɔ nnwan mpem nson, nyoma mpem mmiɛnsa, anantwie mpamho ahanum ne mfunumu bereɛ aha enum, na ɔwɔ asomfoɔ bebree. Na ɔyɛ onipa kɛseɛ paa wɔ nnipa a wɔwɔ Apueeɛ fam nyinaa no mu.
4 Pea naʻe faʻa fai ʻe hono ngaahi foha ʻae kātoanga kai ʻi honau ngaahi fale, ʻo taki taha ʻi hono ʻaho; pea naʻe tala ki honau tuofefine ʻe toko tolu ke kai mo inu mo kinautolu.
Na ne mmammarima no to ɛpono nnidisoɔ nnidisoɔ wɔ wɔn afie mu, na wɔto nsa frɛ wɔn nnuammaa baasa no ne wɔn bɔ mu didi, nom.
5 Pea kuo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻenau fai kātoanga, naʻe fekau ʻe Siope ke fakatapui ʻakinautolu, pea ne tuʻu hengihengi hake, ʻo ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻo fakatatau ki honau tokolahi kotoa pē: he naʻe pehē ʻe Siope, naʻa kuo angahala ʻa hoku ngaahi foha, ʻo lea kovi ki he ʻOtua ʻi honau loto. Naʻe fai pehē pe ʻa Siope ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
Sɛ apontoɔ nna no twam a, Hiob soma kɔfrɛ wɔn na wɔdwira wɔn ho. Ɔsɔre anɔpahema bɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ma wɔn mu biara, ɛfiri sɛ ɔdwene sɛ, “Ebia na me mma no ayɛ bɔne na wɔadome Onyankopɔn wɔ wɔn akoma mu.” Yei yɛ dwuma a na Hiob di no ɛberɛ-ano-berɛ ano.
6 Ka naʻe 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.
Ɛda bi, abɔfoɔ no de wɔn ho bɛkyerɛɛ Awurade, na Satan kaa wɔn ho baeɛ.
7 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Ko hoʻo 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 sɛ, “Wofiri he na wobaa ha?” Satan buaa Awurade sɛ, “Mefiri asase so akyinkyinakyinkyini ne emu akɔneabadie mu.”
8 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?”
Na Awurade bisaa Satan sɛ, “Wadwene me ɔsomfoɔ Hiob ho anaa? Obiara nte sɛ ɔno wɔ asase so, ne ho nni asɛm na ɔtene, ɔyɛ onipa a ɔsuro Onyankopɔn na ɔkyiri bɔne.”
9 Pea naʻe tali ai ʻe Sētane kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “He kuo manavahē ʻa Siope ki he ʻOtua taʻehatotongi?
Satan buaa Awurade sɛ, “Hiob suro Onyankopɔn kwa anaa?
10 ʻIkai kuo ke takatakai ʻaki ia ʻae ʻā, mo hono fale, mo ʻene meʻa kotoa pē mei he potu kotoa pē? Pea kuo ke fakamonūʻiaʻi ʻae ngāue ʻa hono nima, pea ʻoku tupulekina ʻene koloa ʻi he fonua.
Wonnyee ban mfaa ɔno, ne fie ne biribiara a ɔwɔ ho anaa? Woahyira ne nsa ano adwuma so, enti ne nnwan ne nʼanantwie ase atrɛ asase no so.
11 Kae mafao atu eni ho nima, ʻo taaʻi ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻana, pea te ne lauʻikoviʻi koe ʻi ho fofonga.”
Na wo deɛ, tene wo nsa na sɛe deɛ ɔwɔ nyinaa, na ɔbɛgyina wʼanim na wadome wo.”
12 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻi ho nima ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻana; kaeʻoua naʻa ke hilifaki ho nima kiate ia.” Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Sētane mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Satan sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, deɛ ɔwɔ nyinaa wɔ wo nsam, nanso ɔno ankasa deɛ, mfa wo nsateaa nka no.” Na Satan firii Awurade anim kɔeɛ.
13 Pea naʻe ai ʻae ʻaho naʻe kai mo inu uaine ʻe hono ngaahi foha mo hono ngaahi ʻofefine ʻi he fale ʻo honau taʻokete lahi:
Ɛda bi a Hiob mmammarima ne ne mmammaa redidi na wɔrenom bobesa wɔ wɔn nuabarima panin fie no,
14 Pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae talafekau kia Siope, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe fai ʻae keli ʻe he fanga pulu, pea kai ʻae fanga ʻasi ʻi he potu ofi ki ai:
ɔbɔfoɔ bi baa Hiob hɔ, bɛkaa sɛ, “Anantwie no refɛntɛm na mfunumu no redidi wɔ wɔn nkyɛn no,
15 Pea naʻe ʻoho mai ʻae kakai Sipa ʻo ʻave ʻakinautolu; pea kuo nau tāmateʻi ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
Sebafoɔ bɛto hyɛɛ yɛn so, sesaa wɔn kɔɔeɛ. Wɔde afena kunkumm apaafoɔ no, na me nko ara na medwaneeɛ a merebɛbɔ wo saa amaneɛ yi.”
16 Pea lolotonga ʻene lea mo ʻene haʻu foki ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo tō mai mei he langi ʻae afi ʻae ʻOtua, pea kuo vela ai ʻae fanga sipi, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
Ɛberɛ a ɔgu so rekasa no, ɔbɔfoɔ foforɔ bi ba bɛkaa sɛ, “Onyankopɔn ogya firi soro abɛhye wo nnwan ne wo nnwanhwɛfoɔ no nyinaa, na me nko ara na medwaneeɛ a merebɛbɔ wo amaneɛ yi.”
17 Pea lolotonga ʻene lea mo ʻene haʻu foki ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe vahe tolu ʻae kongakau Kalitia, ʻonau ʻoho mai ki he fanga kāmeli, pea ʻave ia, pea kuo nau tāmateʻi ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
Ɔgu so rekasa no, ɔbɔfoɔ foforɔ bi bɛkaa sɛ, “Kaldeafoɔ de akorɔmfoɔ akuo mmiɛnsa baa wo nyoma so bɛsoaa wɔn kɔeɛ. Wɔde afena kunkumm asomfoɔ no na me nko ara na medwaneeɛ a merebɛbɔ wo amaneɛ yi.”
18 Pea lolotonga ʻene lea mo ʻene haʻu foki ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe kai mo inu uaine ʻa ho ngaahi foha mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine ʻi he fale ʻo honau taʻokete lahi:
Ɛberɛ a ɔgu so rekasa no, ɔbɔfoɔ foforɔ bi ba bɛkaa sɛ, “Na wo mmammarima ne wo mmammaa redidi na wɔrenom bobesa wɔ wɔn nuabarima panin fie,
19 Pea ʻiloange, kuo hā mai ʻae fuʻu matangi lahi mei he toafa, ʻo taaʻi hono tuliki ʻe fā ʻoe fale, pea naʻe holo ia ki he kau talavou, pea kuo nau mate; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
na prɛko pɛ, ahum bi bɔ firii ɛserɛ no so bɛdwiraa efie no ntwea ɛnan no. Efie no dwiri guu wɔn so na akunkum wɔn, na me nko ara na medwaneeɛ a merebɛbɔ wo amaneɛ yi.”
20 Pea naʻe toki tuʻu hake ʻa Siope, ʻo ne haehae hono pulupulu, ʻo fakatekefua ia, pea fakafoʻohifo ki he kelekele, ʻo hū.
Yei maa Hiob sɔre gyinaa hɔ, sunsuanee nʼatadeɛ mu na ɔyii ne tirinwi. Afei ɔtenaa fam sɔree Awurade
21 ʻO ne pehē, “Naʻaku haʻu telefua pe mei he manāva ʻo ʻeku faʻē, pea te u toe ʻalu telefua atu pe: naʻe foaki ʻe Sihova, pea kuo toʻo atu ʻe Sihova; fakafetaʻi pe ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.”
kaa sɛ, “Adagya na mede mefiri me maame yam baeɛ, na adagya na mede bɛsane akɔ. Awurade de maeɛ, na Awurade afa; nhyira nka Awurade din!”
22 ʻI he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē naʻe ʻikai angahala ʻa Siope, pe tuku ha kovi ki he ʻOtua.
Yei nyinaa mu no, Hiob anyɛ bɔne sɛ ɔbɛbɔ Onyankopɔn soboɔ.
