Hiob 8
1 Na Suhini Bildad buae se:
Wasephendula uBilidadi umShuhi wathi:
2 “Wobɛkɔ so aka saa nsɛm yi akosi da bɛn? Wo nsɛm yɛ mframa huhuw.
Koze kube nini ukhuluma lezizinto, lamazwi omlomo wakho abe ngumoya olamandla?
3 Onyankopɔn kyea atɛntrenee ana? Otumfo kyea nea ɛteɛ ana?
UNkulunkulu uyahlanekela isahlulelo yini? Kumbe uSomandla uyahlanekela ukulunga yini?
4 Bere a wo mma yɛɛ bɔne tiaa no no, ogyaw wɔn maa wɔn bɔne so akatua.
Uba abantwana bakho bonile kuye, yena usebalahlile emandleni esiphambeko sabo;
5 Nanso sɛ wode wʼani bɛto Onyankopɔn so na woabɔ Otumfo no mpae,
uba wena umdinga uNkulunkulu ngovivi, uncenge kuSomandla;
6 sɛ woyɛ kronkron, na woteɛ a, wo nti, ɔbɛma ne ho so mprempren na wama wo asi wo dedaw mu.
uba uhlambulukile, uqotho; isibili khathesi ubezavuka ngenxa yakho, aphumelelise indawo yokuhlala yokulunga kwakho.
7 Wo mfiase bɛyɛ nkakrankakra na daakye woanya ama abu so.
Lanxa ukuqala kwakho bekukuncinyane, kube kanti isiphetho sakho sizakwanda kakhulu.
8 “Bisa awo ntoatoaso a atwa mu no, na hwehwɛ nea wɔn agyanom hui,
Ngoba ake ubuze esizukulwaneni sakuqala, uzilungisele isidingo saboyise.
9 na wɔwoo yɛn nkyɛe na yennim hwee, yɛn nna wɔ asase yi so te sɛ sunsuma.
Ngoba singabezolo, njalo kasazi, ngoba insuku zethu emhlabeni ziyisithunzi.
10 Wɔrenkyerɛkyerɛ wo na wɔrenka nkyerɛ wo ana? Wɔremfi wɔn ntease mu nka nsɛm bi ana?
Kabayikukufundisa yini, bakutshele, bakhuphe amazwi enhliziyweni yabo?
11 So paparɔso betumi anyin akɔ soro wɔ baabi a ɛnyɛ ɔwora? Demmire betumi afifi baabi a nsu nni ana?
Imihlanga ingakhula lapho okungelaxhaphozi khona yini? Ibhuma likhule lapho okungelamanzi khona?
12 Bere a ɛrenyin a wontwae no, ɛhyew ntɛm so sen sare.
Nxa lisebuluhlazeni balo lingakakhiwa, kube kanti libuna kuqala kwazo zonke izihlahlakazana.
13 Saa na wɔn a wɔn werɛ fi Onyankopɔn no awiei te; saa ara na wɔn a wonni nyamesu no anidaso nkosi hwee.
Zinjalo indlela zabo bonke abamkhohlwayo uNkulunkulu, lethemba lomzenzisi lizabhubha.
14 Biribiara a nʼani da so no nni ahoɔden; nea ɔde ne ho to so no yɛ ananse ntontan.
Othemba lakhe lizaqunywa, lokuthemba kwakhe kuyibulembu besayobe.
15 Otweri ne ntontan, nanso ɛtetew; oso mu dennen, nanso ɛnyɛ yie.
Uyeyama endlini yakhe, kodwa kayimi; ubambelela kiyo, kodwa kayihlali.
16 Ɔte sɛ afifide a wogugu so nsu yiye a esi owia mu, ɛtrɛtrɛw ne mman mu wɔ turo no so;
Uluhlaza phambi kwelanga, lamahlumela akhe aphuma esivandeni sakhe.
17 Ne ntin nyin fa abotan ho, na ɛhwehwɛ ɔkwan kɔ abo mu.
Impande zakhe zithandele enqunjini; ubona indawo yamatshe.
18 Nanso sɛ wotu fi ne sibea a, saa beae no nnim no bio na ɛka se, ‘Minhuu wo da.’
Uba emchitha endaweni yakhe, izamphika ithi: Kangizange ngikubone.
19 Ampa ara ne nkwa twa mu, na afifide foforo nyin asase no so.
Khangela, le yintokozo yendlela yakhe; njalo kuzakhula abanye emhlabathini.
20 “Ampa ara Onyankopɔn mpo onipa a ne ho nni asɛm na ɔnhyɛ amumɔyɛfo nsa mu den.
Khangela, uNkulunkulu kayikumlahla opheleleyo, kabambi isandla sabenzi bobubi.
21 Ɔbɛma woaserew bio, na wode ahosɛpɛw ateɛteɛ mu.
Aze agcwalise umlomo wakho ngohleko, lezindebe zakho ngokumemeza kwentokozo.
22 Wɔde aniwu befura wɔn a wɔtan wo, na amumɔyɛfo ntamadan bɛsɛe.”
Abakuzondayo bazakwembeswa ngenhloni, lethente lababi lingabi khona.
