Hiob 11
1 Na Naamani Sofar buae se,
UZofari umNahama wasephendula wathi:
2 “Ɛnsɛ sɛ woyi saa nsɛm yi ano ana? Ɛsɛ sɛ wobu saa ɔkasafo yi bem ana?
“Uthi amazwi wonke la angayekelwa ukuphendulwa na? Uwawane lolu luyekelwe nje lubheda?
3 Wo nsɛm hunu no bɛma nnipa ayɛ komm ana? Sɛ wudi fɛw a obiara nka wʼanim ana?
Umbhedo wakho lo ungenza abantu bathule na? Uthi ungangakhuzwa muntu wena ukhulumela eceleni?
4 Woka kyerɛ Onyankopɔn se, ‘Me gyidi ho nni asɛm na meyɛ pɛ wɔ wʼani so.’
Uthi kuNkulunkulu, ‘Inkolo yami kayilansolo njalo ngimsulwa phambi kwakho.’
5 Ao, anka mepɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn kasa, anka ɔnkasa ntia wo
Oh, ngize ngifise ukuthi ngabe uNkulunkulu uyakhuluma, avule izindebe zakhe ekusola
6 na ommue nyansa mu ahintasɛm so nkyerɛ wo, efisɛ nyansa turodoo yɛ afanu. Hu sɛ Onyankopɔn werɛ afi wo bɔne no bi mpo.
akuvulele imfihlo zokuhlakanipha, ngoba inhlakanipho yeqiniso ikabili. Yazi lokhu: UNkulunkulu uvele usezikhohliwe ezinye izono zakho.
7 “Wubetumi ate Onyankopɔn anwonwade ase ana? Wubetumi abɔre ahu nea Otumfo no tumi kɔpem ana?
Kambe ungayifinyelela yini imfihlakalo kaNkulunkulu? Ungaziphenya iziphetho zikaSomandla na?
8 Ɛkorɔn sen ɔsoro, dɛn na wubetumi ayɛ? Emu dɔ sen ɔda ase tɔnn, dɛn na wubetumi ahu? (Sheol h7585)
Ziqongile ngaphezu kwamazulu, ungenzani kambe? Zizikile kulokujula kolwandle, kuyini ongakwazi pho? (Sheol h7585)
9 Ne nsusuwii mu ware sen asase na ɛtrɛw sen po.
Ukulinganiswa kwazo kude kulomhlaba njalo kubanzi kulolwandle.
10 “Sɛ ɔba de wo bɛto afiase ansa na osi nkongua a, hena na obetumi asiw no kwan?
Nxa engeza lapha akuphosele entolongweni abize inkundla, ngubani ongamphikisa na?
11 Ampa ara ohu nnipa nnaadaafo; na sɛ ohu bɔne a, ɔnhyɛ ne nsow ana?
Liqiniso ukuthi uyababona abantu abakhohlisayo; njalo nxa ebona okubi, kananzeleli na?
12 Nanso ogyimifo rentumi nyɛ onyansafo da na wɔawo afurum ba sɛ onipa.
Kodwa umuntu oyisithutha ngeke ahlakaniphe njengoba ubabhemi weganga engeke azalwa ngumuntu.
13 “Na sɛ wode wo koma ma no na wopagyaw wo nsa kyerɛ no,
Kodwa nxa ugxilisa inhliziyo yakho kuye uphakamisele izandla zakho kuye,
14 sɛ wugyaa bɔne a wukura no mu na woamma amumɔyɛ antena wo ntamadan mu a
nxa ulahla isono esisesandleni sakho ungavumeli bubi buhlale ethenteni lakho,
15 ɛno de, bɔne nni wo ho, wobɛma wo ti so; wubegyina pintinn a worensuro.
lapho-ke uzabuveza ubuso bakho ungelanhloni; uzakuma uqine ungesabi.
16 Wo werɛ befi wʼahokyere, na wɔbɛkae no sɛ nsu a asen kɔ.
Uzalukhohlwa ngempela uhlupho lwakho, lufike nje engqondweni njengezikhukhula ezadlulayo.
17 Abrabɔ bɛhyerɛn asen owigyinae, na sum bɛyɛ sɛ adekyee hann.
Impilo izakhanya kulemini enkulu, lobumnyama buzakuba njengasekuseni.
18 Wubenya bammɔ, efisɛ anidaso wɔ hɔ; wobɛhwɛ wo ho ahyia, na wahome asomdwoe mu.
Uzavikeleka, ngoba ithemba likhona; uzakhangela ofuna khona uzuze ukuphumula uvikelekile.
19 Wobɛda ahome, na obi renhunahuna wo, na bebree bɛhwehwɛ mmoa afi wo nkyɛn.
Uzazilalela, kungekho okwethusayo, njalo abanengi bazabe sebezisondeza kuwe.
20 Amumɔyɛfo ani befura, wɔrentumi nguan; na wɔn anidaso bɛdan owu ahomegu.”
Kodwa amehlo ababi azafiphala, behluleke lokubaleka; ithemba labo libe yikuhotsha umoya wokufa.”
