Hiob 28
1 “Beae a wotu dwetɛ wɔ hɔ ne beae a wɔnan sika kɔkɔɔ.
“Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ai ʻae halanga ki he siliva, mo e potu ki he koula ʻoku fakamaʻa ʻe he kakai.
2 Wotu dade fi fam, na wɔnan kɔbere fi dadebo mu.
ʻOku toʻo ʻae ʻaione mei he kelekele, pea ʻoku haka ʻae palasa mei he maka.
3 Onipa ma sum ba awiei; na ɔhwehwɛ kɔ akyirikyiri asase mu kɔhwehwɛ dadebo wɔ sum kabii mu.
ʻOku ne fakangata ʻae fakapoʻuli, pea ne kumi ki hono ngataʻanga: ko e ngaahi maka ʻoe poʻuli mo e ʻata ʻoe mate.
4 Wɔde fagudetu afiri hyɛ beae a ɛmmɛn ɔdesani atenae, mmeae a nnipa anan nsii hɔ da, baabi a ɛmmɛn nnipa no, ɛhɔ na wodi aforosian.
ʻOku ʻoho mai ʻae vai mei he potu ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae kakai; ne ngalo ia ʻi he kau vaʻe: kuo matuʻu hake ia, ʻo mole atu mei he kakai.
5 Asase a ɛbɔ aduan no, wɔdan ase no te sɛ nea wɔde ogya na ayɛ;
ʻOku tupu ʻae mā mei he kelekele: pea ʻoku fulihi ʻi lalo ia ʻo hangē ko e afi.
6 hoabo fi nʼabotan mu na sikakɔkɔɔ mpɔw nso wɔ ne mfutuma mu.
Ko hono ngaahi maka ko e potu ia ʻoe ngaahi safaia: pea ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae efu koula.
7 Ɔkɔre biara nnim saa kwan a ahintaw no, akoroma biara ani nhuu ɛ.
Ko e hala eni ʻoku ʻikai ʻiloʻi ʻe he manupuna, pea kuo ʻikai mamata ki ai ʻae mata ʻoe vulita.
8 Mmoa ahantanfo nsi hɔ na gyata nkɔdɛɛdɛɛ wɔ hɔ.
Naʻe ʻikai moloki ia ʻe he fānganga ʻoe laione, pe ʻalu ʻi ai ʻae laione fekai.
9 Onipa nsa paapae abotan dennen na ɔma mmepɔw ase da hɔ.
ʻOku ne ʻai hono nima ki he maka; ʻoku taʻaki fuʻu hake ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi moʻunga.
10 Otwa aka fa abotan mu, na ohu nʼademude nyinaa.
ʻOku ne matofa ʻae ngaahi tafeʻanga vai ʻi he ngaahi maka; pea ʻoku mamata ʻa hono mata ki he meʻa mahuʻinga kotoa pē.
11 Ɔhwehwɛ baabi a nsubɔnten ti wɔ na ɔda nneɛma a ahintaw adi.
ʻOku ne nonoʻo ʻae ngaahi vai ke ʻoua naʻa mafola ia; pea ko ia naʻe fufū ʻoku ne ʻomi ki he maama.
12 “Nanso ɛhe na yebehu nea nyansa hyɛ? Ɛhe na ntease te?
“Ka ʻe ʻilo ki fē ʻae poto? Pea komaʻa ia ʻae potu ʻoe ʻilo?
13 Onipa renhu ne bo a ɛsom; wɔrenhu wɔ ateasefo asase so.
Ko hono mahuʻinga ʻo ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻe he tangata; pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ia ʻi he fonua ʻoe moʻui.
14 Na ebun ka se, ‘Enni me mu’; na po nso se, ‘Enni me nkyɛn.’
ʻOku pehē ʻe he loloto, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ʻiate au ia:’ ʻoku pehē mo e tahi, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ʻiate au.’
15 Wɔrentumi mfa sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa ntɔ, na wɔrentumi mfa dwetɛ nkari ne bo.
ʻE ʻikai faʻa maʻu ia ʻaki ʻae koula, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamamafa ʻae siliva mo hono totongi ʻoʻona.
16 Wɔrentumi mfa Ofir sikakɔkɔɔ ntɔ apopobibiribo anaa hoabo nso saa ara.
ʻE ʻikai fakatauʻaki ia ʻae koula ʻo Ofeli, pe ko e oniki mahuʻinga, pe ko e safaia.
17 Wɔrentumi mfa ahwehwɛ anaa sikakɔkɔɔ ntoto ho, na wɔrentumi mfa sikakɔkɔɔ nnwinne nsesa.
ʻOku ʻikai tatau mo ia ʻae koula mo e kalisitala: pea ʻe ʻikai fetongi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi teunga koula lelei.
18 Ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛbɔ ahene panyin ne ahwehwɛbo din; nyansa bo sen nhene pa.
ʻE ʻikai lau ki ai ʻae feo kulokula, mo e mataʻitofe: he ko e mahuʻinga ʻoe poto ʻoku lahi hake ia ʻi he ngaahi maka mahuʻinga.
19 Etiopia akraatebo ne no nsɛ; wɔrentumi mfa sikakɔkɔɔ kronkron ntɔ.
ʻOku ʻikai tatau mo ia ʻae topasi ʻo ʻItiopea, pea ʻe ʻikai totongi ʻaki ia ʻae koula haohaoa.
20 “Ɛno de, na ɛhe na nyansa fi? Ɛhe na ntease te?
Ko ia, ʻoku haʻu mei fē ʻae poto? pea ko maʻā ia ʻae potu ʻoe ʻilo?
21 Wɔde asie abɔde biara ani, wɔde asie wim nnomaa mpo.
He kuo fufū ia mei he mata ʻoe moʻui kotoa pē, pea fakalilolilo mei he fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā.
22 Ɔsɛe ne Owu ka se, ‘Yɛate no huhuhuhu kɛkɛ.’
ʻOku pehē ʻe he fakaʻauha mo e mate, ‘Kuo ma fanongo ki hono ongoongo ʻo ia ʻaki homa telinga.’
23 Onyankopɔn te ɔkwan a ɛkɔ hɔ ase, na ɔno nko ara na onim faako a ɛte,
“ʻOku ʻiloʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa hono hala, pea ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi mo hono potu.
24 efisɛ ɔhwɛ kodu nsase ano na ohu biribiara a ɛwɔ ɔsoro ase.
He ʻoku ne sio ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani, pea ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi lalo langi;
25 Bere a ɔhyɛɛ mframa ano den too hɔ na osusuw nsuwa no,
Ke ne ngaohi ʻae mamafa ʻoe matangi; pea ʻoku ne tuʻutuʻuni ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi he fuofua.
26 bere a ɔkaa no ɔhyɛ so kyerɛɛ osutɔ na otwaa kwan maa aprannaa no,
ʻI heʻene fokotuʻu ʻae fono ki he ʻuha, pea mo e hala ki he ʻuhila ʻoe mana:
27 afei ɔhwɛɛ nyansa na ɔkarii no hwɛe; na ogyee no too mu na ɔsɔɔ no hwɛe.
Ko ia naʻa ne mamata ki ai, pea fakahā ia; naʻa ne fokotuʻumaʻu ia, ʻio, pea naʻa ne hakule ki ai.
28 Na ɔka kyerɛɛ onipa se, ‘Awurade suro, ɛno ne nyansa; na sɛ wokyi bɔne, yɛ ntease.’”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki he tangata, ‘Vakai, ko e manavahē kia Sihova, ko e poto ia; pea ko e afe mei he kovi ko e ʻilo ia.’”
