Hiob 20
1 Na Naamani Sofar buae se,
Wasephendula uZofari umNahama wathi:
2 Me tirim mu ntew me, na ɛhyɛ me sɛ mimmua efisɛ me ho yeraw me yiye.
Ngakho imicabango yami ingenza ngiphendule, langenxa yokuphangisa kwami phakathi kwami.
3 Mate animka bi a egu me ho fi, na ntease a minya no hyɛ me sɛ mimmua.
Ngizwile isijeziso sehlazo lami, lomoya wokuqedisisa kwami ungenza ngiphendule.
4 “Ampa ara wunim sɛnea nneɛma te fi tete, efi bere a wɔde nnipa duaa asase so no,
Uyakwazi lokhu yini, kusukela endulo, selokhu kwabekwa umuntu emhlabeni,
5 sɛ amumɔyɛfo ani gye bere tiaa bi mu, na wɔn a wonsuro nyame nso anigye nkyɛ.
ukuthi injabulo yababi imfitshane, lentokozo yomzenzisi ngeyesikhatshana nje?
6 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ nʼahohoahoa kodu ɔsoro, na ne ti kɔpem omununkum koraa a,
Loba ubukhosi bakhe busenyukela emazulwini, lekhanda lakhe lifinyelela emayezini,
7 ɔbɛyera afebɔɔ te sɛ nʼankasa nʼagyanan; na wɔn a wohuu no no bebisa se, ‘Ɔwɔ he?’
uzabhubha phakade njengobulongwe bakhe; labo abambonileyo bathi: Ungaphi?
8 Otu kɔ te sɛ ɔdae, na wɔrenhu no bio, wɔn werɛ fi te sɛ anadwo mu anisoadehu.
Uzaphapha njengephupho, bangabe besamthola; yebo, uzaxotshwa njengombono webusuku.
9 Ani a ehuu no no renhu no bio; na ne sibea nso renhu no bio.
Ilihlo elike lambona aliyikuphinda, lendawo yakhe kayisayikumbona.
10 Ne mma bɛpata ahiafo; ɛsɛ sɛ nʼankasa de nʼahonya san ma.
Abantwana bakhe bazadinga ukuthokozisa abayanga, lezandla zakhe zibuyisele inotho yakhe.
11 Ne mmerantebere mu ahoɔden a ahyɛ ne nnompe ma no ne no bɛkɔ mfutuma mu.
Amathambo akhe ayegcwele ubutsha bakhe, kodwa azalala kanye laye enhlabathini.
12 “Ɛwɔ mu sɛ bɔne yɛ nʼanom dɛ na ɔde sie ne tɛkrɛma ase,
Uba ububi bumnandi emlonyeni wakhe, ebufihla ngaphansi kolimi lwakhe,
13 ɛwɔ mu sɛ ontumi nnyaa mu na ɔma ɛka ne dudom,
ebugodla, engabuyekeli, kodwa ebugcina phakathi komlomo wakhe,
14 nanso, nʼaduan bɛyɛ nwen wɔ ne yafunu mu; ɛbɛyɛ ɔwɔ ano bɔre wɔ ne mu.
ukudla kwakhe kuzaphenduka esiswini sakhe, kuzakuba yibuhlungu bezinyoka phakathi kwakhe.
15 Ɔbɛfe ahonyade a ɔmenee no; Onyankopɔn bɛma ne yafunu apuw agu.
Uginye inotho, kodwa uzayihlanza; uNkulunkulu uzayikhupha esiswini sakhe.
16 Ɔbɛfefe awɔ bɔre; Ɔnanka se bekum no.
Uzamunya ubuhlungu bezinyoka, lolimi lwebululu luzambulala.
17 Ɔrennya nsuwansuwa no nnom nsubɔnten a nufusu ne ɛwo sen wɔ mu no.
Kayikubona izifula, imifula, izifudlana zoluju lolaza.
18 Ɔbɛdan nea ɔbrɛ nyae no aba a ɔrenni bi; ɔremfa nʼaguadi mu mfaso nnye nʼani.
Uzabuyisela lokho akusebenzelayo, angakuginyi; njengokwenotho izakuba njalo inhlawulo, njalo kayikuthokoza.
19 Efisɛ ɔhyɛɛ ahiafo so ma wodii ohia buruburoo; ɔde ne nsa ato afi a ɛnyɛ ɔno na osii so.
Ngoba ubacindezele wabadela abayanga, waphanga indlu abengayakhanga.
20 “Ampa ara ɔrennya ahomegye mfi nea wapere anya no mu; ɔrentumi mfa nʼademude nnye ne ho nkwa.
Ngoba kakwazi ukuthula esiswini sakhe, kayikusindisa lutho kusifiso sakhe.
21 Wafom nneɛma nyinaa awie; ne nkɔso nnu baabiara.
Kakuyikusala lutho ekudleni kwakhe; ngenxa yalokhu okuhle kwakhe kakuyikuma.
22 Nʼadedodow nyinaa mu no, ɔbɛkɔ ɔhaw mu; na amanehunu a emu yɛ den bɛto no.
Ekugcwaleni kokwanela kwakhe uzakuba lencindezelo; sonke isandla sohluphekayo sizamfikela.
23 Bere a nʼafuru ayɛ ma no, Onyankopɔn bɛtɔ nʼabufuw gya agu ne so na wabobɔ no basabasa.
Kuzakuthi lapho egcwalisa isisu sakhe, uNkulunkulu athumele kuye ukuvutha kwentukuthelo yakhe, akunise phezu kwakhe ekudleni kwakhe.
24 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ oguan fi dade akode ano nanso bɛmma a ano yɛ kɔbere mfrafrae bɛwɔ no.
Uzabalekela isikhali sensimbi, idandili lethusi lizamhlaba.
25 Ɔtwe bɛmma no fi nʼakyi, ano hyɛnhyɛn no fi ne brɛbo mu. Ehu bɛba ne so;
Uyalihwatsha, liphume emhlana, lokubenyezelayo kuzaphuma enyongweni yakhe; izesabiso ziphezu kwakhe.
26 sum kabii retwɛn nʼademude. Ogya a ɛnnɛw mu bɛhyew no, na asɛe nea aka wɔ ne ntamadan mu.
Ubumnyama bonke bugcinelwe izinto zakhe ezibekelelweyo; umlilo ongavuthelwayo uzamqeda; kuzakuba kubi kunsali ethenteni lakhe.
27 Ɔsoro bɛda nʼafɔdi adi, na asase asɔre atia no.
Amazulu azakwembula ububi bakhe, lomhlaba umvukele.
28 Nsuyiri bɛtwe ne fi akɔ, saa ara na asuworo bɛyɛ Onyankopɔn abufuwhyew da no.
Ukwanda kwendlu yakhe kuzanyamalala, kukhukhulwe osukwini lwentukuthelo yakhe.
29 Eyi ne nkrabea a Onyankopɔn de ma amumɔyɛfo, agyapade a Onyankopɔn de ato hɔ ama wɔn ne no.”
Lesi yisabelo somuntu omubi esivela kuNkulunkulu, lelifa alimiselwa nguNkulunkulu.
