< Hiob 2 >
1 Da foforo bi, abɔfo no baa Awurade anim bio na Satan nso kaa wɔn ho bae.
Kwelinye ilanga njalo izingilosi zeza phambi kukaThixo, loSathane laye weza lazo ukuzezethula kuye.
2 Awurade bisaa Satan se, “Wufi he na wobaa ha?” Satan buaa Awurade se, “Mifi asase so akyinkyinakyinkyin ne emu akɔneabadi mu.”
UThixo wasesithi kuSathane, “Uvela ngaphi?” USathane wamphendula wathi, “Ngivela ekuzulazuleni emhlabeni, ngihambahamba ngisiya le lale kuwo.”
3 Na Awurade bisaa Satan se, “Woadwene mʼakoa Hiob ho ana? Obiara nte sɛ ɔno wɔ asase so, ne ho nni asɛm na ɔteɛ. Ɔyɛ onipa a osuro Onyankopɔn na okyi bɔne. Ɛwɔ mu sɛ wohyɛɛ me sɛ mensɛe no a minni nnyinaso biara de, nanso ɔda so gyina ne pɛpɛyɛ no mu.”
UThixo wasesithi kuSathane, “Usuke wayinanzelela yini inceku yami uJobe? Kakho emhlabeni onjengaye; kalasici, uqondile, indoda emesabayo uNkulunkulu, exwaya okubi. Ulokhu emi kubo ubuqotho bakhe lanxa wangiphoqa ukuthi ngimdilize kungelasizatho.”
4 Satan buaa Awurade sɛ, “Were pere were. Onipa de nea ɔwɔ nyinaa bɛma de apere ne nkwa.
USathane waphendula wathi, “Isikhumba ngesikhumba! Umuntu anganikela loba yini alayo ukusiza impilo yakhe.
5 Sɛ ebetumi a teɛ wo nsa fa ka ne honam ne ne nnompe, na ɔbɛdome wo wɔ wʼanim!”
Kodwa yelula isandla sakho umtshaye inyama lamathambo akhe, uzabona uzakuthuka ebusweni bakho.”
6 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Satan se, “Eye, ɔwɔ wo nsam na ne nkwa de gyaa mu ma no.”
UThixo wathi kuSathane, “Kulungile, usezandleni zakho, kodwa ungayithinti impilo yakhe.”
7 Enti Satan fii Awurade anim, na ɔmaa akuru a ɛyɛ yaw totɔɔ Hiob ho fi ne nʼanan ase kosii nʼapampam.
Ngakho uSathane wasesuka phambi kukaThixo wathela uJobe izilonda ezibuhlungu kusukela ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe kusiyafika esicholo sekhanda lakhe.
8 Afei, na kyɛmfɛre na Hiob de twiw ne ho, bere a ɔte nsõ mu.
UJobe wasethatha ucezu lodengezi wazihwaya ngalo ehlezi esilotheni.
9 Ne yere bisaa no se, “Woda so kura wo pɛpɛyɛ no mu ara? Dome Onyankopɔn, na wu!”
Umkakhe wathi kuye, “Ulokhu ubambelele kubo ubuqotho bakho na? Mthuke uNkulunkulu uzifele!”
10 Na Hiob buaa no sɛ, “Wokasa sɛ ɔbea a ɔyɛ ɔkwasea. Ade pa de yɛagye afi Onyankopɔn nsam na ade bɔne na yɛmpo ana?” Eyi nyinaa mu no, Hiob anka asɛm bɔne.
Wamphendula wathi, “Ukhuluma njengomfazi oyisiwula. Sizakwamukela okuhle kuNkulunkulu singalwamukeli uhlupho na?” Kukho konke lokhu uJobe kenzanga isono ngakutshoyo.
11 Bere a Hiob nnamfo baasa bi a wɔne Temanni Elifas, Suhini Bildad ne Naamani Sofar tee amanehunu a aba Hiob so no, wofii wɔn afi mu, hyia yɛɛ adwene sɛ wɔbɛkɔ akɔhwɛ no na wɔakyekye ne werɛ.
Kwathi abangane bakaJobe abathathu, u-Elifazi umThemani, uBhilidadi umShuhi loZofari umNahama sebezwile ngazozonke inhlupho ezazimwele, basuka emakhaya abo bahlangana bavumelana ukuthi bahambe bayomqinisa njalo bamduduze.
12 Wohuu Hiob fii akyiri no, wɔanhu sɛ ɛyɛ ɔno; wɔhyɛɛ ase twaa agyaadwo, sunsuan wɔn ntade mu, tuu mfutuma guu wɔn ti so.
Bathi bembona besesebucwala kabaze bamazi; baqhinqa isililo, badabula izembatho zabo, bathela uthuli emakhanda abo.
13 Na wɔne no tenaa fam nnanson, awia ne anadwo. Na obiara ankasa, efisɛ wohuu sɛ nʼamanehunu no nyɛ adewa.
Basebehlala phansi laye okwensuku eziyisikhombisa lobusuku obuyisikhombisa. Kakho kubo owatsho ulutho kuye ngoba babona ubuhlungu obukhulu ayephakathi kwabo.
