Hiob 16

1 Afei Hiob buae se,

Wasephendula uJobe wathi:

2 “Mate nsɛm bebree a ɛte sɛ eyinom; na mo nyinaa moyɛ ogyamserewfo!

Ngizwile izinto ezinengi ezinje; lingabaduduzi abakhathazayo lina lonke.

3 So mo kasa tenten no remma awiei ana? Dɛn na ɛhaw mo nti a mugu so regye akyinnye yi?

Kuzakuba lesiphetho yini emazwini angumoya? Kumbe kuyini okulicunulayo ukuthi liphendule?

4 Anka me nso metumi akasa sɛ mo, sɛ mo na mowɔ me tebea yi mu a, anka metumi akeka nsɛm a ɛyɛ dɛ atia mo na mabu mo animtiaa.

Lami bengingakhuluma njengani uba umphefumulo wenu ubusendaweni yomphefumulo wami; bengingabuthelela amazwi phezu kwenu, ngilinikinele ikhanda lami.

5 Nanso anka mɛhyɛ mo den; anka awerɛkyekye nsɛm a ebefi mʼanom no bɛma mo ahotɔ.

Bengingaliqinisa ngomlomo wami, lokunyikinyeka kwendebe zami bekungadedisaubuhlungu benu.

6 “Nanso sɛ mekasa a ɔyaw a mete no remmrɛ ase; na sɛ mankasa nso a, ɛrennyae.

Uba ngikhuluma, ubuhlungu bami kabudedi; uba ngiyekela, kuyini okusuka kimi?

7 Onyankopɔn, ampa ara woama mabrɛ woasɛe me fi pasaa.

Kodwa khathesi ungidinisile yena, wena uchithile yonke inhlangano yami.

8 Woakyekyere me, ama abɛyɛ adansedi; me so tew ara na ɛtew na edi adanse tia me.

Ungitshwabhanisile, kube yibufakazi, lokucaka kwami kungivukele, kuyafakaza ebusweni bami.

9 Onyankopɔn tow hyɛ me so tetew me wɔ nʼabufuw mu na ɔtwɛre ne se gu me so; nea ɔne me anya no pɔkyere nʼani hwɛ me.

Ulaka lwakhe luyangidwengula, njalo uyangizonda; ungigedlela amazinyo akhe; isitha sami singicijisela amehlo aso.

10 Nnipa bue wɔn ano di me ho fɛw; wɔbɔ me sotɔre de bu me animtiaa na wɔka wɔn ho bɔ mu de tia me.

Bangikhamisela umlomo wabo, bangiwakala esihlathini ngokuyangisa, bengihlanganyela ndawonye.

11 Onyankopɔn de me ama abɔnefo watow me ato amumɔyɛfo nsam.

UNkulunkulu unginikele kokhohlakeleyo, wangiphosela ezandleni zababi.

12 Na biribiara kɔ yiye ma me, nanso ɔdwerɛw me; osoo me kɔn mu, tow me hwee hɔ. Ɔde me asi nʼani so;

Ngangonwabile, kodwa wangichoboza, wangidumela ngentamo, wangiphahlaza, wangimisa ngaba yinto yakhe yokunenjwa.

13 nʼagyantowfo atwa me ho ahyia, ohwirew mʼasaabo mu a wanhu me mmɔbɔ maa me bɔnwoma petee fam.

Abatshoki bakhe bangigombolozela; uqhekeze izinso zami, engayekeli, wachithela emhlabathini inyongo yami.

14 Ɔba me so bere biara; na ɔtow hyɛ me so sɛ ɔkofo.

Wangivodloza ngokuvodlovodloza, wagijimela kimi njengeqhawe.

15 “Mapam atweaatam akata me were so na masie mʼanintɔn wɔ mfutuma mu.

Ngathunga isaka phezu kwesikhumba sami, ngathukuza uphondo lwami othulini.

16 Agyaadwotwa ama mʼani ayɛ kɔɔ; sunsuma kabii atwa mʼani ho ahyia,

Ubuso bami bubomvu ngokukhala, lenkotsheni zami kulethunzi lokufa,

17 nanso me nsa nyɛɛ basabasayɛ biara na me mpaebɔ yɛ kann.

lanxa kungekho isihluku ezandleni zami, lomkhuleko wami uhlanzekile.

18 “Asase, nkata me mogya so; na mma me sufrɛ to ntwa da!

Mhlaba, ungaligqibeli igazi lami, lokukhala kwami kakungabi landawo.

19 Mprempren mpo, me danseni wɔ ɔsoro; me kamafo wɔ soro hɔ.

Lakhathesi, khangelani, ubufakazi bami busemazulwini, lomfakazi wami usezindaweni eziphakemeyo.

20 Me dimafo yɛ mʼadamfo bere a mʼaniwa tew nisu gu Onyankopɔn so yi;

Abangane bami bayangiklolodela; ilihlo lami liyathonta kuNkulunkulu.

21 ogyina onipa anan mu di ma no wɔ Onyankopɔn anim sɛnea obi di ma nʼadamfo no.

Kungathi kungaba khona ongamlamulela umuntu kuNkulunkulu, njengendodana yomuntu kumngane wayo.

22 “Mfe kakraa bi akyi ansa na metu kwan akɔ koransan.

Ngoba iminyaka emilutshwana izafika, njalo ngizahamba ngendlela engingayikubuya ngayo.
