1 Ɔbarima bi tenaa ase wɔ Us asase so a na ne din de Hiob. Na ne ho nni asɛm na ɔyɛ pɛ; na osuro Onyankopɔn, na ɔtwe ne ho fi bɔne ho.
Mʼdziko la Uzi munali munthu wina, dzina lake Yobu. Munthu ameneyu anali wosalakwa ndi wolungama mtima, ankaopa Mulungu ndi kupewa zoyipa.
2 Na ɔwɔ mmabarima baason ne mmabea baasa,
Anali ndi ana aamuna asanu ndi awiri ndi ana aakazi atatu,
3 na ɔwɔ nguan mpem ason, yoma mpem abiɛsa, anantwi mpamho ahannum ne mfurumbere ahannum, na ɔwɔ asomfo bebree. Na ɔyɛ onipa kɛse pa ara wɔ nnipa a wɔwɔ Apuei fam nyinaa no mu.
ndipo anali ndi nkhosa 7,000, ngamira 3,000, ngʼombe zantchito 1,000 ndi abulu aakazi 500, ndiponso anali ndi antchito ambiri. Iye anali munthu wotchuka kwambiri pakati pa anthu onse a mʼmayiko a kummawa.
4 Na ne mmabarima no to pon nnidiso nnidiso wɔ wɔn afi mu, na wɔto nsa frɛ wɔn nuabeanom baasa no ne wɔn bɔ mu didi, nom.
Ana ake aamuna ankachita phwando mosinthanasinthana mʼnyumba zawo, ndipo ankayitana alongo awo atatu aja kudzadya ndi kumwa nawo.
5 Sɛ aponto nna no twa mu a, Hiob soma kɔfrɛ wɔn na wodwira wɔn ho. Ɔsɔre anɔpahema bɔ ɔhyew afɔre ma wɔn mu biara, efisɛ na osusuw sɛ, “Ebia na me mma no ayɛ bɔne na wɔadome Onyankopɔn wɔ wɔn koma mu.” Eyi yɛ dwuma a na Hiob di no bere ano bere ano.
Masiku aphwandowo atatha, Yobu ankawayitana kuti adzawayeretse. Mmamawa iye ankapereka nsembe yopsereza kuperekera mwana aliyense, poganiza kuti, “Mwina ana anga achimwa ndi kutukwana Mulungu mʼmitima yawo.” Umu ndi mmene Yobu ankachitira nthawi zonse.
6 Da bi, abɔfo no de wɔn ho bɛkyerɛɛ Awurade, na Satan kaa wɔn ho bae.
Ana a Mulungu atabwera kudzadzionetsa pamaso pa Yehova, nayenso Satana anafika nawo limodzi.
7 Awurade bisaa Satan se, “Wufi he na wobaa ha?” Satan buaa Awurade se, “Mifi asase so akyinkyinakyinkyin ne emu akɔneabadi mu.”
Yehova anati kwa Satanayo, “Kodi iwe ukuchokera kuti?” Satana anayankha Yehova kuti, “Ndakhala ndikungoyendayenda ndi kumangozungulira mʼdzikoli.”
8 Na Awurade bisaa Satan se, “Woadwene me somfo Hiob ho ana? Obiara nte sɛ ɔno wɔ asase so, ne ho nni asɛm na ɔteɛ, ɔyɛ onipa a osuro Onyankopɔn na okyi bɔne.”
Pamenepo Yehova anati kwa Satana, “Kodi unalingalirapo za mtumiki wanga Yobu? Palibe wina pa dziko lapansi wofanana naye; ndi munthu wosalakwa ndi wolungama mtima, munthu amene amaopa Mulungu ndi kupewa zoyipa.”
9 Satan buaa Awurade se, “Hiob suro Onyankopɔn kwa ana?
Satana anayankha kuti, “Kodi Yobu amaopa Mulungu popanda chifukwa?”
10 Wunnyee ban mfaa ɔno, ne fie ne biribiara a ɔwɔ ho ana? Woahyira ne nsa ano adwuma so, enti ne nguan ne nʼanantwi ase atrɛw asase no so.
“Kodi Inu simumamuteteza iyeyo, nyumba yake ndi zonse zimene ali nazo? Mwadalitsa ntchito ya manja ake, kotero kuti nkhosa ndi ngʼombe zake zili ponseponse mʼdzikomo.
11 Na wo de, teɛ wo nsa na sɛe nea ɔwɔ nyinaa, na obegyina wʼanim na wadome wo.”
Koma tatambasulani dzanja lanu ndi kukantha zonse ali nazo ndipo iyeyo adzakutukwanani ndithu pamaso panu.”
12 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Satan se, “Eye, nea ɔwɔ nyinaa wɔ wo nsam, nanso ɔno ankasa de, mfa wo nsateaa nka no.” Na Satan fii Awurade anim kɔe.
Yehova anati kwa Satana, “Chabwino, tsono zonse zimene ali nazo ndaziyika mʼmanja mwako, koma iye yekhayo usamukhudze.” Pamenepo Satana anachoka pamaso pa Yehova.
13 Da bi a Hiob mmabarima ne ne mmabea redidi na wɔrenom bobesa wɔ wɔn nuabarima panyin fi no,
Tsiku lina pamene ana aamuna ndi ana aakazi a Yobu ankachita phwando ndi kumwa vinyo mʼnyumba mwa mkulu wawo,
14 ɔbɔfo bi baa Hiob hɔ bɛkae se, “Anantwi no refuntum na mfurum no redidi wɔ wɔn nkyɛn no,
wamthenga anabwera kwa Yobu ndipo anati, “Ngʼombe zanu zotipula ndipo abulu anu amadya chapafupi pomwepo,
15 Sabiafo bɛtow hyɛɛ yɛn so, sesaw wɔn kɔe. Wɔde afoa kunkum apaafo no, na me nko ara na miguanee a merebɛbɔ wo saa amanneɛ yi.”
tsono panabwera Aseba kudzatithira nkhondo ndi kutenga zonse. Apha antchito ndi lupanga, ndipo ine ndekha ndiye ndapulumuka kuti ndidzakuwuzeni!”
16 Bere a ogu so rekasa no, ɔbɔfo foforo bi ba bɛkae se, “Onyankopɔn gya fi soro abɛhyew wo nguan ne wo nguanhwɛfo no nyinaa, na me nko ara na miguanee a merebɛbɔ wo amanneɛ yi.”
Iyeyo akuyankhulabe, wamthenga wina anabwera nati, “Kunagwa mphenzi ndipo yapsereza nkhosa ndi antchito anu onse, ndipo ine ndekha ndiye ndapulumuka kuti ndidzakuwuzeni!”
17 Ogu so rekasa no, ɔbɔfo foforo bi bɛkae se, “Kaldeafo de akorɔmfo akuw abiɛsa baa wo yoma so bɛsoaa wɔn kɔe. Wɔde afoa kunkum asomfo no na me nko ara na miguanee a merebɛbɔ wo amanneɛ yi.”
Iyeyo akuyankhulabe, wamthenga wina anabwera nati, “Akasidi anadzigawa mʼmagulu atatu ankhondo ndipo anafika pa ngamira zanu ndi kuzitenga. Apha antchito anu onse ndi lupanga, ndipo ine ndekha ndiye ndapulumuka kuti ndidzakuwuzeni!”
18 Bere a ogu so rekasa no, ɔbɔfo foforo bi ba bɛkae se, “Na wo mmabarima ne wo mmabea redidi na wɔrenom bobesa wɔ wɔn nuabarima panyin fi,
Iyeyo akuyankhulabe, panafikanso wamthenga wina nati, “Ana anu aamuna ndi aakazi amachita phwando ndi kumwa vinyo mʼnyumba ya mkulu wawo,
19 na prɛko pɛ, ahum bi bɔ fii sare no so bedwiraa ofi no ntwea anan no. Ofi no dwiriw guu wɔn so na akunkum wɔn, na me nko ara na miguanee a merebɛbɔ wo amanneɛ yi.”
mwadzidzidzi chinayamba chimphepo champhamvu chochokera ku chipululu, nʼkudzawomba nyumba mbali zonse zinayi. Nyumbayo yawagwera ndipo afa, ndipo ine ndekha ndiye ndapulumuka kuti ndidzakuwuzeni!”
20 Eyi maa Hiob sɔre gyinaa hɔ, sunsuan nʼatade mu na oyii ne tinwi. Afei ɔtenaa fam sɔree Awurade
Atamva zimenezi, Yobu anayimirira nangʼamba mkanjo wake, ndi kumeta tsitsi lake. Kenaka anadzigwetsa pansi napembedza Mulungu,
21 kae se, “Adagyaw na mede fi me na yam bae, na adagyaw na mede bɛsan akɔ. Awurade de mae, na Awurade afa; nhyira nka Awurade din!”
nati, “Ndinatuluka maliseche mʼmimba mwa amayi anga, namonso mʼmanda ndidzalowa wamaliseche. Yehova ndiye anapereka ndipo Yehova watenga; litamandike dzina la Yehova.”
22 Eyi nyinaa mu no, Hiob anyɛ bɔne sɛ ɔbɛbɔ Onyankopɔn sobo.
Mu zonsezi, Yobu sanachimwe kapena kunena kuti, “Mulungu walakwa.”
