Hiob 6
1 Na Hiob buae se,
Forsothe Joob answeride, and seide,
2 “Sɛ wobetumi akari mʼawerɛhowdi na me haw nso wɔde agu nsania so a,
Y wolde, that my synnes, bi whiche Y `desseruede ire, and the wretchidnesse which Y suffre, weren peisid in a balaunce.
3 anka emu bɛyɛ duru asen nwea a ɛwɔ po mu nyinaa, enti ɛnyɛ nwonwa sɛ me nsɛm ayɛ hagyahagya.
As the grauel of the see, this wretchidnesse schulde appere greuousere; wherfor and my wordis ben ful of sorewe.
4 Otumfo agyan no wɔ me mu, me honhom nom ano bɔre no; wɔahyehyɛ Onyankopɔn ahunahuna nyinaa atia me.
For the arowis of the Lord ben in me, the indignacioun of whiche drynkith vp my spirit; and the dredis of the Lord fiyten ayens me.
5 Wuram afurum su wɔ bere a wanya sare ana, na nantwi nso su wɔ bere a wanya nʼaduan ana?
Whether a feeld asse schal rore, whanne he hath gras? Ethir whether an oxe schal lowe, whanne he stondith byfor a `ful cratche?
6 So wodi aduan a nkyene nni mu? Na ɔdɛ bi wɔ nkesua mu fufu mu ana?
Ether whethir a thing vnsauery may be etun, which is not maad sauery bi salt? Ether whether ony man may taaste a thing, which tastid bryngith deeth?
7 Mempɛ sɛ mede me nsa ka; aduan a ɛte saa no bɔ me yare.
For whi to an hungri soule, yhe, bittir thingis semen to be swete; tho thingis whiche my soule nolde touche bifore, ben now my meetis for angwisch.
8 “Ao sɛ me nsa bɛka mʼabisade, sɛ Onyankopɔn bɛyɛ nea mʼani da so no ama me,
Who yyueth, that myn axyng come; and that God yyue to me that, that Y abide?
9 sɛ Onyankopɔn bɛpɛ sɛ ɔdwerɛw me sɛ ɔbɛtwe ne nsa na wakum me,
And he that bigan, al to-breke me; releesse he his hond, and kitte me doun?
10 ɛne anka mɛkɔ so anya saa awerɛkyekye yi, a ɛyɛ anigye a mewɔ wɔ ɔyaw a entwa da yi mu, ne Ɔkronkronni no nsɛm a mimmuu so yi.
And `this be coumfort to me, that he turmente me with sorewe, and spare not, and that Y ayenseie not the wordis of the hooli.
11 “Ahoɔden bɛn na mewɔ a enti ɛsɛ sɛ minya anidaso? Daakye nneɛma pa bɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ minya ntoboase?
For whi, what is my strengthe, that Y suffre? ethir which is myn ende, that Y do pacientli?
12 Mewɔ ahoɔden sɛ ɔbo ana? Me honam yɛ kɔbere mfrafrae ana?
Nethir my strengthe is the strengthe of stoonus, nether my fleisch is of bras.
13 So mewɔ tumi bi a mede bɛboa me ho saa bere yi a nkonimdi apare me yi ana?
Lo! noon help is to me in me; also my meyneal frendis `yeden awey fro me.
14 “Obiara a ɔbɔ nʼadamfo ayamye sɛn no gyaw Otumfo no ho suro.
He that takith awei merci fro his frend, forsakith the drede of the Lord.
15 Nanso ahotoso nni me nuanom mu sɛ nsuwansuwa a eyiri na ɛyow, sɛ nsuwansuwa a eyiri
My britheren passiden me, as a stronde doith, that passith ruschyngli in grete valeis.
16 bere a sukyerɛmma renan na mparuwbo nso redan nsu,
Snow schal come on hem, that dreden frost.
17 nanso owiabere mu no ɛsen bio na ɔhyew nti nsu no tu yera.
In the tyme wherynne thei ben scaterid, thei schulen perische; and as thei ben hoote, thei schulen be vnknyt fro her place.
18 Akwantufo man fi wɔn akwan so; wɔforo kɔ nsase a awuwu so ma wowuwu.
The pathis of her steppis ben wlappid; thei schulen go in veyn, and schulen perische.
19 Tema akwantufo hwehwɛ nsu, Seba aguadifo akwantufo de anidaso hwehwɛ nsu.
Biholde ye the pathis of Theman, and the weies of Saba; and abide ye a litil.
20 Wɔn ho yeraw wɔn, efisɛ na wɔwɔ awerehyɛmu; woduu hɔ, na wɔn anidaso yɛ ɔkwa.
Thei ben schent, for Y hopide; and thei camen `til to me, and thei ben hilid with schame.
21 Afei, wo nso woakyerɛ sɛ wo so nni mfaso; wuhu biribi a ɛyɛ hu na wusuro.
Now ye ben comun, and now ye seen my wounde, and dreden.
22 So maka pɛn se, ‘Me nti momma biribi, sɛ mumfi mo ahode mu ntua me ti so sika,
Whether Y seide, Brynge ye to me, and yiue ye of youre catel to me? ethir,
23 sɛ munnye me mfi mʼatamfo nsam, ne atirimɔdenfo nkyehama mu ana?’
Delyuere ye me fro the hond of enemy, and rauysche ye me fro the hond of stronge men?
24 “Monkyerɛkyerɛ me, na mɛyɛ komm; monkyerɛ me mfomso a mayɛ.
Teche ye me, and Y schal be stille; and if in hap Y vnknew ony thing, teche ye me.
25 Nokwareka yɛ yaw, na mo adwenkyerɛ no kosi dɛn?
Whi han ye depraued the wordis of trewthe? sithen noon is of you, that may repreue me.
26 So mokyerɛ sɛ mubesiesie sɛ nea meka no, na moafa mʼahometew nsɛm sɛ mframa ana?
Ye maken redi spechis oneli for to blame, and ye bryngen forth wordis in to wynde.
27 Mpo mobɛbɔ ayisaa so ntonto, na mode mo adamfo adi nsesagua.
Ye fallen in on a fadirles child, and enforsen to peruerte youre frend.
28 “Afei momfa ahummɔbɔ nhwɛ me. Metumi adi atoro wɔ mo anim ana?
Netheles fille ye that, that ye han bigunne; yyue ye the eere, and se ye, whether Y lie.
29 Montɔ mo bo ase, mummu ntɛnkyew; monsan nnwen ho, efisɛ eyi fa me pɛpɛyɛ ho.
Y biseche, answere ye with out strijf, and speke ye, and deme ye that, that is iust.
30 Amumɔyɛsɛm wɔ mʼano ana? Minnim papa ne bɔne ntam nsonoe ana?
And ye schulen not fynde wickidnesse in my tunge, nethir foli schal sowne in my chekis.
