Hiob 5
1 “Wobɛfrɛ a frɛ, na hena na obegye wo so? Akronkronfo no mu hena nkyɛn na wobɛkɔ?
Ake umemeze, ukhona ongakuphendula yini? Uzaphendukela kuwuphi wabangcwele?
2 Ahisɛm kum ɔkwasea, na anibere kum atetekwaa.
Ngoba ulaka luyasibulala isiwula, lomhawu ubulale isiphukuphuku.
3 Mʼankasa mahu ɔkwasea a ɔrefefɛw, nanso mpofirim, wɔdomee ne fi.
Mina ngibone isiwula sigxila, kodwa ngahle ngaqalekisa indawo yaso yokuhlala.
4 Ne mma ne bammɔ ntam kwan ware, wɔdwerɛw wɔn wɔ asennii a wonni ɔkamafo.
Abantwana baso bakhatshana losindiso, bachothozwa esangweni, njalo kungekho umkhululi.
5 Nea ɔkɔm de no no di ne nnɔbae, na ɔfa fi nsɔe mu mpo, na nea osukɔm de no no pere di nʼahode akyi.
Osivuno saso olambileyo uyasidla, esithatha lemeveni, lomphangi uginya inotho yaso.
6 Ahokyere mpue mmfi dɔte mu na ɔhaw nso mfifi mmfi fam.
Ngoba usizi kaluveli ethulini, lenhlupheko kayihlumi emhlabathini.
7 Nanso wɔwo nnipa to ɔhaw mu mpɛn dodow a gyaframa turuw kɔ soro no.
Kube kanti umuntu uzalelwe inhlupheko njengoba inhlansi ziqhatshela phezulu.
8 “Nanso sɛ ɛyɛ me a, anka meguan atoa Onyankopɔn; na mede mʼasɛm ato nʼanim.
Kodwa mina bengizadinga uNkulunkulu, lakuNkulunkulu bengizabeka udaba lwami.
9 Ɔyɛ anwonwade a wontumi nhwehwɛ mu, ne nsɛnkyerɛnne a wontumi nkan ne dodow.
Owenza izinto ezinkulu lezingelakuhlolwa, imimangaliso engelakubalwa.
10 Ɔtɔ osu gu asase so; na ɔde kɔ wuram.
Onika izulu ebusweni bomhlaba, athumele amanzi ebusweni bamaphandle,
11 Ɔde ahobrɛasefo si nea ɛkorɔn, na ɔma wɔn a wodi awerɛhow nya asomdwoe.
ukuze abamise phezulu abaphansi, ukuze abalilayo baphakanyiselwe ekuvikelekeni.
12 Ɔsɛe aniferefo nhyehyɛe, ma wɔn nsa si fam.
Uchitha amacebo abalobuqili, ukuze izandla zabo zingenzi cebo.
13 Ɔkyere anyansafo wɔ wɔn anifere mu, na ɔbɔ anitewfo nhyehyɛe gu.
Ubamba abahlakaniphileyo ebuqilini babo, ukuze icebo labangaqondanga liwiselwe phansi.
14 Sum duru wɔn awia ketee; na wɔkeka wɔ owigyinae mu te sɛ anadwo.
Bahlangana lomnyama emini, baphumputhe phakathi kwemini njengebusuku.
15 Ogye ahiafo fi afoa a ɛhyɛ wɔn anom; ogye wɔn fi ahoɔdenfo nkyehama mu.
Kodwa ukhulula umyanga enkembeni, emlonyeni wabo, lesandleni solamandla.
16 Enti ahiafo wɔ anidaso, na ntɛnkyew ka nʼano to mu.
Ngakho umyanga ulethemba, lobubi buzavala umlomo wabo.
17 “Nhyira ne onipa a Onyankopɔn teɛ no, enti mmu Otumfo nteɛteɛ no animtiaa.
Khangela, ubusisiwe lowomuntu uNkulunkulu amlayayo; ngakho ungadeleli ukukhuza kukaSomandla.
18 Efisɛ ɔno na opira na ɔno ara akyekyere; opira nanso ne nsa sa yare.
Ngoba yena uzwisa ubuhlungu, abuye abophe; uyalimaza, lezandla zakhe ziyapholisa.
19 Obegye wo afi ɔhaw ahorow asia mu; ason so no, bɔne biara renka wo.
Uzakukhulula enhluphekweni eziyisithupha, lakweziyisikhombisa ububi kabuyikukuthinta.
20 Ɔkɔm ba a, obegye wo afi owu mu, na ɔko mu nso, obegye wo afi afoa ano.
Endlaleni uzakuhlenga ekufeni, lempini emandleni enkemba.
21 Wɔbɛbɔ wo ho ban afi ntwirii ho na sɛ ɔsɛe ba a ɛnsɛ sɛ wusuro.
Uzafihlelwa isiswepu solimi, njalo kawuyikwesaba incithakalo lapho ifika.
22 Wobɛserew ɔsɛe ne ɔkɔm; na ɛnsɛ sɛ wusuro asase so mmoa.
Uzahleka incithakalo lendlala, njalo kawuyikwesaba izilo zomhlaba.
23 Wo ne afuw so abo bɛyɛ apam, na emu nkekaboa nso ne wo bɛtena asomdwoe mu.
Ngoba uzakuba lesivumelwano lamatshe eganga, lezilo zeganga zizakuba lokuthula lawe.
24 Wubehu sɛ wo ntamadan wɔ bammɔ; na sɛ wosese wʼahode a wubehu sɛ hwee nyeraa ɛ.
Njalo uzakwazi ukuthi ithente lakho lilokuthula, uzakwethekela indawo yakho yokuhlala ungasweli lutho.
25 Wubehu sɛ wo mma bɛyɛ bebree; na wʼase bɛfɛe sɛ asase so sare.
Uzakwazi futhi ukuthi inzalo yakho izakuba nengi, lembewu yakho njengotshani bomhlaba.
26 Wode ahoɔden bɛkɔ ɔda mu, te sɛ afiafi a wɔaboa ano wɔ otwabere mu.
Uzafika engcwabeni lakho usuluphele, njengenqumbi zamabele zisenyuka ngesikhathi sawo.
27 “Yɛahwehwɛ eyi mu, na ɛyɛ nokware ɛno nti tie na fa toto wʼabrabɔ ho.”
Khangela lokhu, sesikuhlolile; kunjalo. Kuzwe, uzazele wena.
