Hiob 35
1 Afei, Elihu kae se:
Elihu spake moreouer, and said,
2 “Wugye di sɛ, eyi fata? Woka se, ‘Onyankopɔn betwitwa agye me.’
Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?
3 Nanso wubisa no se, ‘Mfaso bɛn na menya, na sɛ manyɛ bɔne a, mfaso bɛn na menya?’
For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?
4 “Mepɛ sɛ mibua wo ne wo nnamfonom nyinaa.
Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee.
5 Ma wʼani so kyerɛ soro na hwɛ; hwɛ omununkum a ɛwɔ wʼatifi sorosoro nohɔ.
Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.
6 Sɛ woyɛ bɔne a, ɔkwan bɛn so na ɛfa haw no? Mpo sɛ wo bɔne dɔɔso a, nsunsuanso bɛn na enya wɔ ne so?
If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?
7 Sɛ woteɛ a, dɛn na wode ma no anaasɛ dɛn na onya fi wo nsam?
If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?
8 Wʼamumɔyɛ ka onipa a ɔte sɛ wo na wo trenee ka nnipa mma nko ara.
Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.
9 “Nnipa su bere a wɔhyɛ wɔn so; na wɔsrɛ mmoa fi nea ɔwɔ tumi nsam.
They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.
10 Nanso obi mmisa se, ‘Ɛhe na Onyankopɔn, me Yɛfo no wɔ, nea ɔma nnwom anadwo no,
But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?
11 nea ɔkyerɛ yɛn nimdeɛ bebree sen asase so mmoa na ɔma yehu nyansa sen wim nnomaa no?’
Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.
12 Sɛ nnipa su teɛ mu a, ommua, amumɔyɛfo ahantan nti.
Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.
13 Ampa ara Onyankopɔn rentie wɔn nkotosrɛ hunu no; na Otumfo remmu.
Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.
14 Ɛno de adɛn na ɔrentie bere a woka se wunhu no, na woka se wʼasɛm wɔ nʼanim enti ɛsɛ sɛ wotwɛn no,
Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.
15 na bio, nʼabufuw mmfa asotwe mma na nʼani nni amumɔyɛsɛm akyi pii?
But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,
16 Enti Hiob bue nʼano ka nsɛnhunu; nimdeɛ a onni nti, ɔkeka nsɛm bebree.”
Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.
