Hiob 34
1 Afei Elihu kae se,
Pea naʻe fai pe ʻe Elihu ʻa ʻene lea, ʻo ne pehē,
2 “Mo anyansafo, muntie me nsɛm; mo nimdefo monyɛ aso mma me.
“ʻAe kau tangata poto, mou fanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi lea; pea tokanga kiate au ʻakimoutolu kuo maʻu ʻae ʻilo.
3 Efisɛ aso sɔ nsɛm hwɛ sɛnea tɛkrɛma ka aduan hwɛ no.
He ʻoku ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻe he telinga ʻae ngaahi lea, ʻo hangē ʻoku kamata ʻe he ngutu ʻae kai.
4 Momma yɛnsese, nhu nea eye ma yɛn. Momma yɛn nyinaa mmɔ mu nsua nea eye.
Ke tau fili kiate kitautolu ʻae fakamaau; ke tau ʻilo ʻiate kitautolu ʻaia ʻoku lelei.
5 “Hiob ka se, ‘Me ho nni asɛm, nanso Onyankopɔn abu me ntɛnkyew.
He naʻe pehē ʻe Siope, ‘ʻOku ou māʻoniʻoni: pea kuo toʻo atu ʻe he ʻOtua hoku fakamaau.
6 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ mʼasɛm da kwan mu, nanso wobu me ɔtorofo; ɛwɔ mu sɛ menyɛɛ bɔne biara, nanso ne bɛmma no ama me apirakuru a enwu da.’
He te u lohiakiʻi ʻa ʻeku totonu? ʻOku taʻefaʻafakamoʻui ʻa hoku lavea ʻi he taʻetalangataʻa.’
7 Onipa bɛn na ɔte sɛ Hiob a ɔnom animtiaabu sɛ nsu?
Ko hai ha tangata ʻoku tatau mo Siope, ʻoku ne inumia ʻae manuki ʻo hangē ko e vai?
8 Ɔne amumɔyɛfo nantew; na ɔne atirimɔdenfo nso bɔ.
ʻAia ʻoku ne ʻalu fakataha mo e kau ngāue kovi, pea ʻeveʻeva mo e kau tangata angahala.
9 Efisɛ ɔka se, ‘Sɛ onipa bɔ mmɔden sɛ ɔbɛsɔ Onyankopɔn ani a onnya so mfaso biara.’
He naʻe pehē ʻe ia, ‘ʻOku ʻikai hano ʻaonga siʻi ki ha tangata ke ne fakafiefiaʻi ia ʻi he ʻOtua.’
10 “Enti mo mmarima a mowɔ ntease muntie me. Ɛmpare Onyankopɔn sɛ ɔbɛyɛ bɔne, sɛ Otumfo no bɛyɛ mfomso.
“Ko ia, fanongo mai kiate au, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau tangata faʻa ʻilo: ko e kovi, ke mamaʻo ia mei he ʻOtua, pea mo e angahala mei he Māfimafi.
11 Nnipa nneyɛe so na ɔhwɛ tua wɔn ka; nea ɛfata ne nneyɛe na ɔma ɛba ne so.
He ko e ngāue ʻae tangata te ne totongi kiate ia, pea fakaʻilo ki he tangata kotoa pē ʻo fakatatau ki hono ngaahi hala.
12 Ɛmfata sɛ wɔde mfomso susuw Onyankopɔn, na ɛmfata sɛ wɔde ntɛnkyew susuw Otumfo.
ʻIo, ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai fai kovi ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻe ʻikai fakahalaʻi ʻae fakamaau ʻe he Māfimafi.
13 Hena na ɔde no sii asase so? Hena na ɔde wiase nyinaa hyɛɛ ne nsa?
Ko hai naʻa ne fakanofo ia ke pule ki māmani? Pea ko hai kuo ne ngaohi ʻa māmani kotoa pē?
14 Sɛ ɛyɛɛ ne pɛ na oyii ne Honhom ne nʼahome a,
Kapau te ne fakatokangaʻi hono finangalo ki he tangata, te ne tānaki kiate ia hono laumālie mo ʻene mānava;
15 anka adesamma nyinaa bɛbɔ mu ayera, na onipa bɛsan akɔ mfutuma mu.
ʻE mate fakataha ʻae kakano kotoa pē, pea ʻe toe liliu ʻae tangata ko e efu.
16 “Sɛ mowɔ nhumu a, muntie eyi; muntie nea meka.
“Kapau ʻoku ke maʻu ʻae faʻa ʻilo, fanongo eni: fakafanongo ki he leʻo ʻo ʻeku ngaahi lea.
17 So obi a okyi atɛntrenee betumi adi nnipa so? Mubetumi abu Ɔtreneeni kɛse no fɔ ana?
Te ne faʻa pule ʻaia ʻoku fehiʻa ki he totonu? Pea te ke faʻa fakahalaiaʻi ʻaia ʻoku mātuʻaki angatonu?
18 Ɛnyɛ Ɔno na ɔka kyerɛ ahemfo se, ‘Mo so nni mfaso,’ na ɔka kyerɛɛ atitiriw se, ‘Moyɛ atirimɔdenfo,’
He ʻoku ngali ke pehē ki ha tuʻi, ʻOku ke kovi? Pe ki he houʻeiki, ʻOku mou fai kovi?
19 nea ɔnhwɛ mmapɔmma anim na onyiyi adefo ne ahiafo mu, efisɛ wɔn nyinaa yɛ ne nsa ano adwuma.
Ka ʻe fēfē kiate ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te ne filifilimānako ki he kakai houʻeiki, pea ʻoku ʻikai lahi hake ʻene tokanga ki he koloaʻia ʻi he masiva? He ko e ngāue ʻa hono nima ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
20 Wowuwu mmere tiaa bi mu, wɔ anadwo dasu mu; nnipa no ho wosow na wɔsen kɔ; ahoɔdenfo totɔ a emfi nipa.
Te nau mate fakafokifā pe, pea ʻe mamahi ʻae kakai ʻi he tuʻuapō mālie, pea nau mole atu: pea ʻe fetuku atu ʻae kau mālohi taʻehanima.
21 “Nʼani hwɛ nnipa akwan; na ohu wɔn anammɔntu biara.
“He ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoe tangata ʻa hono fofonga, pea ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻa hono ʻalunga kotoa pē.
22 Baabiara nni hɔ a aduru sum, sum kabii, a amumɔyɛfo betumi ahintaw.
ʻOku ʻikai ha poʻuli, pe ha malumalu ʻoe mate, ʻe faʻa fakafufū ai ʻe he kau fai kovi ʻakinautolu.
23 Ɛho nhia Onyankopɔn sɛ ɔbɛhwehwɛ nnipa mu bio, a enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔba nʼanim begye atemmu.
Koeʻuhi ʻe [ʻi he meʻa ʻoku totonu]; koeʻuhi ke ne fie fakamaau ai mo e ʻOtua.
24 Ɔbobɔ abirɛmpɔn gu a ɔnyɛ nhwehwɛmu biara, na ɔde afoforo sisi wɔn anan mu.
Te ne lailaiki ʻae kau tangata mālohi tokolahi taʻefaʻalaua, pea fokotuʻu ʻae niʻihi moʻono totongi.
25 Efisɛ ohu wɔn nneyɛe, otu wɔn gu anadwo na wɔdwerɛw wɔn.
Ko ia ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻenau ngaahi ngāue, pea ʻoku ne fulihi ʻakinautolu ʻi he pō, pea ʻoku nau ʻauha ai.
26 Otua wɔn amumɔyɛsɛm so ka wɔ faako a obiara betumi ahu wɔn,
ʻOku ne taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e kau tangata fai kovi, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai.
27 efisɛ wɔman fii nʼakyi kɔe na wɔampɛ nʼakwan biara anhwɛ.
Koeʻuhi naʻa nau tafoki kimui meiate ia, pea ʻikai fie tokanga ki hono ngaahi hala:
28 Wɔmaa ahiafo sufrɛ duu nʼanim na ɛma ɔtee mmɔborɔni su.
Ko ia ʻoku nau fakahoko ʻae tangi ʻae masiva ke aʻu atu kiate ia, pea ʻoku ne ongoʻi ʻae tangi ʻae mahaki.
29 Nanso sɛ ɔyɛ komm a, hena na obetumi abu no fɔ? Sɛ ɔde nʼanim hintaw nso a, hena na obehu no? Nanso odi onipa ne ɔman so pɛpɛɛpɛ,
ʻOku foaki ʻe ia ʻae fiemālie, ko hai te ne faʻa fakamamahi? Pea ka fufū ʻe ia hono fofonga, ko hai ʻe faʻa mamata kiate ia? ʻO kapau te ne fai ki ha puleʻanga, pe ki ha tangata pe tokotaha:
30 ɔmma onipa a onnim Nyame nni hene, sɛnea ɔrensum nnipa no mfiri.
Koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa pule ʻae mālualoi, telia naʻa fasiaʻi ʻae kakai.
31 “Sɛ ɛba sɛ onipa ka kyerɛ Onyankopɔn se, ‘Mayɛ bɔne na merenyɛ bɔne bio.
“ʻOku taau moʻoni mo e ʻOtua ʻae lea pehē ki ai, kuo u kātaki, ʻe ʻikai te u fakamamahi.
32 Kyerɛ me na minhu; na sɛ mayɛ bɔne a, merenyɛ saa bio.’
Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ke ke ako ia kiate au: kapau kuo u fai angahala, ʻe ʻikai te u toe fai ia.
33 So ɛsɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn gyina nea woka so tua wo ka, wɔ bere a woayɛ sɛ worennu wo ho ana? Ɛsɛ sɛ wusi gyinae, ɛnyɛ me; enti ka nea wunim kyerɛ me.
ʻE fakatatau ia koā mo ho loto? Te ne totongi ia, ʻo kapau te ke ʻoua, pe te ke loto ki ai; kae ʻikai ko au: ko ia ke ke tala ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻilo.
34 “Nnipa a wɔwɔ ntease pae mu ka, nimdefo a wotie me ka kyerɛ me se,
Ke tala kiate au ʻe he kau tangata faʻa ʻilo, pea ke fanongo kiate au ʻe ha tangata poto.
35 ‘Hiob nkasa nimdeɛ kwan so; aba biara nni ne kasa mu.’
‘Kuo lea ʻa Siope ʻi he taʻeʻilo, pea ʻoku taʻepoto ʻa ʻene ngaahi lea.
36 Ao, sɛ wɔsɔɔ Hiob hwɛ kɔɔ akyiri a anka eye, efisɛ oyiyii nsɛm ano sɛ omumɔyɛfo!
Ko hoku loto ke fakamaauʻi ʻa Siope ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga, koeʻuhi ko ʻene ngaahi tali ʻo hangē ko e kau tangata angahala.
37 Ɔde atuatew ka ne bɔne ho; ɔde ahantan bɔ ne nsam gu yɛn so na ɔma ne nsɛm a ɔka tia Onyankopɔn no dɔɔso.”
He ʻoku ne fakahoko ʻae talangataʻa ki he angahala, ʻoku ne pasipasi hono nima ʻiate kitautolu, ʻo fakalahi ʻene ngaahi lea ki he ʻOtua.”
