Hiob 16
1 Afei Hiob buae se,
Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Siope, ʻo ne pehē,
2 “Mate nsɛm bebree a ɛte sɛ eyinom; na mo nyinaa moyɛ ogyamserewfo!
Kuo lahi ʻae meʻa pehē kuo u fanongo ai: ko e kau fakafiemālie fakamamahi ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē.
3 So mo kasa tenten no remma awiei ana? Dɛn na ɛhaw mo nti a mugu so regye akyinnye yi?
ʻE ngata afe ʻae launoa? Pe ko e hā ʻoku ne tokoniʻi koe ke ke tali?
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.
Te u faʻa lea foki ʻeau ʻo hangē pe ko kimoutolu: ka ne fetongi ʻaki homou laumālie ʻa hoku laumālie, te u faʻa fokotuʻu lea kiate kimoutolu, pea te u kalokalo hoku ʻulu kiate kimoutolu.
5 Nanso anka mɛhyɛ mo den; anka awerɛkyekye nsɛm a ebefi mʼanom no bɛma mo ahotɔ.
Ka te u tokoniʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻaki hoku ngutu, pea ko e ueʻi ʻo hoku loungutu ʻe fakafiemālieʻi ʻakimoutolu.
6 “Nanso sɛ mekasa a ɔyaw a mete no remmrɛ ase; na sɛ mankasa nso a, ɛrennyae.
“Neongo ʻeku lea, ʻoku ʻikai fakasiʻisiʻi ʻeku mamahi: pea kapau te u taʻofi, ko e hā ʻeku fiemālie ai?
7 Onyankopɔn, ampa ara woama mabrɛ woasɛe me fi pasaa.
Ka ko eni, kuo ne fakakikinaʻi au: kuo ke fakaʻauha ʻa hoku kāinga kotoa pē.
8 Woakyekyere me, ama abɛyɛ adansedi; me so tew ara na ɛtew na edi adanse tia me.
Kuo ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki au ʻae feʻufeʻu, ko e fakamoʻoni ia: pea ʻoku ha hake hoku tutue ʻo valoki ki hoku mata.
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.
ʻOku ne haehae au ʻi hono houhau, ʻaia ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au ʻoku ne fengaiʻitaki hono nifo kiate au, ʻoku matalili ʻa hoku fili kiate au.
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.
Kuo nau fakamanga honau ngutu kiate au; kuo taaʻi manuki au ʻi hoku kouʻahe; kuo nau fakataha ʻakinautolu kiate au.
11 Onyankopɔn de me ama abɔnefo watow me ato amumɔyɛfo nsam.
Kuo tukuange au ʻe he ʻOtua ki he kakai angahala, pea kuo ne lī au ki he nima ʻoe kakai fai kovi.
12 Na biribiara kɔ yiye ma me, nanso ɔdwerɛw me; osoo me kɔn mu, tow me hwee hɔ. Ɔde me asi nʼani so;
Ne u fiemālie, ka kuo ne maumauʻi au: kuo ne kuku foki hoku kia, ʻo laiki au, ʻo fokotuʻu au ko hono fanaʻanga.
13 nʼagyantowfo atwa me ho ahyia, ohwirew mʼasaabo mu a wanhu me mmɔbɔ maa me bɔnwoma petee fam.
ʻOku tuʻu takatakai kiate au ʻene kau tangata fana, ʻoku ne fahiua hoku konga loto, ʻo ʻikai tuku; ʻoku ne lilingi hoku ʻahu ki he kelekele.
14 Ɔba me so bere biara; na ɔtow hyɛ me so sɛ ɔkofo.
ʻOku ne maumauʻi au ʻaki ʻae tā ki he tā, ʻoku ne ʻohofia au ʻo hangē pe ha fuʻu tangata lahi.
15 “Mapam atweaatam akata me were so na masie mʼanintɔn wɔ mfutuma mu.
Kuo u tuitui ʻae tauangaʻa ki hoku kili, ʻo fakaʻuliʻi hoku nifo ʻi he efu.
16 Agyaadwotwa ama mʼani ayɛ kɔɔ; sunsuma kabii atwa mʼani ho ahyia,
ʻOku kovi hoku mata ʻi he tangi, pea ʻoku ʻi hoku laumata ʻae malumalu ʻoe mate;
17 nanso me nsa nyɛɛ basabasayɛ biara na me mpaebɔ yɛ kann.
Ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ha taʻetotonu kuo ʻi hoku nima: pea ʻoku māʻoniʻoni foki ʻeku lotu.
18 “Asase, nkata me mogya so; na mma me sufrɛ to ntwa da!
“ʻE kelekele, ʻoua naʻa ke ʻuʻufi hoku toto, pea ʻoua naʻa hao ki ha potu ʻa ʻeku tangi.
19 Mprempren mpo, me danseni wɔ ɔsoro; me kamafo wɔ soro hɔ.
Ko eni foki, vakai, ʻoku ʻi he langi hoku fakamoʻoni, pea ko ia ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi au ʻoku ʻi ʻolunga.
20 Me dimafo yɛ mʼadamfo bere a mʼaniwa tew nisu gu Onyankopɔn so yi;
ʻOku manukiʻi au ʻe hoku ngaahi kāinga: ka ʻoku lilingi ʻae loʻimata ʻa hoku mata ki he ʻOtua.
21 ogyina onipa anan mu di ma no wɔ Onyankopɔn anim sɛnea obi di ma nʼadamfo no.
Taumaiā ke faʻa alea ʻae tangata mo e ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko e tangata mo hono kaungāʻapi!
22 “Mfe kakraa bi akyi ansa na metu kwan akɔ koransan.
ʻOka hokosia ʻae ngaahi taʻu siʻi, te u toki ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻe ʻikai te u foki mei ai.
