< Hiob 1 >
1 Ɔbarima bi tenaa ase wɔ Us asase so a na ne din de Hiob. Na ne ho nni asɛm na ɔyɛ pɛ; na osuro Onyankopɔn, na ɔtwe ne ho fi bɔne ho.
Naʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻi he fonua ko Usa, naʻe hingoa ko Siope; pea naʻe haohaoa mo angatonu ʻae tangata ko ia, pea ne manavahē ia ki he ʻOtua, pea afe mei he kovi.
2 Na ɔwɔ mmabarima baason ne mmabea baasa,
Pea naʻe fanauʻi kiate ia ʻae foha ʻe toko fitu mo e ʻofefine ʻe toko tolu.
3 na ɔwɔ nguan mpem ason, yoma mpem abiɛsa, anantwi mpamho ahannum ne mfurumbere ahannum, na ɔwɔ asomfo bebree. Na ɔyɛ onipa kɛse pa ara wɔ nnipa a wɔwɔ Apuei fam nyinaa no mu.
Ko ʻene koloa ko e sipi ʻe fitu afe, mo e kāmeli ʻe tolu afe, mo e taulua fanga pulu ʻe nimangeau, mo e ʻasi fefine ʻe nimangeau, mo e fuʻu ʻapi tokolahi ʻaupito; pea naʻe lahi taha ai ʻae tangata ni ʻi he kakai kotoa pē ʻoe potu hahake.
4 Na ne mmabarima no to pon nnidiso nnidiso wɔ wɔn afi mu, na wɔto nsa frɛ wɔn nuabeanom baasa no ne wɔn bɔ mu didi, nom.
Pea naʻe faʻa fai ʻe hono ngaahi foha ʻae kātoanga kai ʻi honau ngaahi fale, ʻo taki taha ʻi hono ʻaho; pea naʻe tala ki honau tuofefine ʻe toko tolu ke kai mo inu mo kinautolu.
5 Sɛ aponto nna no twa mu a, Hiob soma kɔfrɛ wɔn na wodwira wɔn ho. Ɔsɔre anɔpahema bɔ ɔhyew afɔre ma wɔn mu biara, efisɛ na osusuw sɛ, “Ebia na me mma no ayɛ bɔne na wɔadome Onyankopɔn wɔ wɔn koma mu.” Eyi yɛ dwuma a na Hiob di no bere ano bere ano.
Pea kuo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻenau fai kātoanga, naʻe fekau ʻe Siope ke fakatapui ʻakinautolu, pea ne tuʻu hengihengi hake, ʻo ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻo fakatatau ki honau tokolahi kotoa pē: he naʻe pehē ʻe Siope, naʻa kuo angahala ʻa hoku ngaahi foha, ʻo lea kovi ki he ʻOtua ʻi honau loto. Naʻe fai pehē pe ʻa Siope ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
6 Da bi, abɔfo no de wɔn ho bɛkyerɛɛ Awurade, na Satan kaa wɔn ho bae.
Ka naʻe ai ʻae ʻaho naʻe fakataha ai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe ʻOtua ke fakahā ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe haʻu ai foki ʻa Sētane mo kinautolu.
7 Awurade bisaa Satan se, “Wufi he na wobaa ha?” Satan buaa Awurade se, “Mifi asase so akyinkyinakyinkyin ne emu akɔneabadi mu.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Ko hoʻo haʻu mei fē?” Pea tali ʻe Sētane kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Mei heʻeku fakatakamilo ʻa māmani mo ʻeku feʻaluʻaki fano ʻi ai.”
8 Na Awurade bisaa Satan se, “Woadwene me somfo Hiob ho ana? Obiara nte sɛ ɔno wɔ asase so, ne ho nni asɛm na ɔteɛ, ɔyɛ onipa a osuro Onyankopɔn na okyi bɔne.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Kuo ke tokangaʻi ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Siope, he ʻoku ʻikai hano tatau ʻi māmani, ko e tangata haohaoa mo angatonu, ʻoku manavahē ia ki he ʻOtua, pea afe mei he kovi?”
9 Satan buaa Awurade se, “Hiob suro Onyankopɔn kwa ana?
Pea naʻe tali ai ʻe Sētane kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “He kuo manavahē ʻa Siope ki he ʻOtua taʻehatotongi?
10 Wunnyee ban mfaa ɔno, ne fie ne biribiara a ɔwɔ ho ana? Woahyira ne nsa ano adwuma so, enti ne nguan ne nʼanantwi ase atrɛw asase no so.
ʻIkai kuo ke takatakai ʻaki ia ʻae ʻā, mo hono fale, mo ʻene meʻa kotoa pē mei he potu kotoa pē? Pea kuo ke fakamonūʻiaʻi ʻae ngāue ʻa hono nima, pea ʻoku tupulekina ʻene koloa ʻi he fonua.
11 Na wo de, teɛ wo nsa na sɛe nea ɔwɔ nyinaa, na obegyina wʼanim na wadome wo.”
Kae mafao atu eni ho nima, ʻo taaʻi ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻana, pea te ne lauʻikoviʻi koe ʻi ho fofonga.”
12 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Satan se, “Eye, nea ɔwɔ nyinaa wɔ wo nsam, nanso ɔno ankasa de, mfa wo nsateaa nka no.” Na Satan fii Awurade anim kɔe.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻi ho nima ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻana; kaeʻoua naʻa ke hilifaki ho nima kiate ia.” Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Sētane mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
13 Da bi a Hiob mmabarima ne ne mmabea redidi na wɔrenom bobesa wɔ wɔn nuabarima panyin fi no,
Pea naʻe ai ʻae ʻaho naʻe kai mo inu uaine ʻe hono ngaahi foha mo hono ngaahi ʻofefine ʻi he fale ʻo honau taʻokete lahi:
14 ɔbɔfo bi baa Hiob hɔ bɛkae se, “Anantwi no refuntum na mfurum no redidi wɔ wɔn nkyɛn no,
Pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae talafekau kia Siope, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe fai ʻae keli ʻe he fanga pulu, pea kai ʻae fanga ʻasi ʻi he potu ofi ki ai:
15 Sabiafo bɛtow hyɛɛ yɛn so, sesaw wɔn kɔe. Wɔde afoa kunkum apaafo no, na me nko ara na miguanee a merebɛbɔ wo saa amanneɛ yi.”
Pea naʻe ʻoho mai ʻae kakai Sipa ʻo ʻave ʻakinautolu; pea kuo nau tāmateʻi ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
16 Bere a ogu so rekasa no, ɔbɔfo foforo bi ba bɛkae se, “Onyankopɔn gya fi soro abɛhyew wo nguan ne wo nguanhwɛfo no nyinaa, na me nko ara na miguanee a merebɛbɔ wo amanneɛ yi.”
Pea lolotonga ʻene lea mo ʻene haʻu foki ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo tō mai mei he langi ʻae afi ʻae ʻOtua, pea kuo vela ai ʻae fanga sipi, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
17 Ogu so rekasa no, ɔbɔfo foforo bi bɛkae se, “Kaldeafo de akorɔmfo akuw abiɛsa baa wo yoma so bɛsoaa wɔn kɔe. Wɔde afoa kunkum asomfo no na me nko ara na miguanee a merebɛbɔ wo amanneɛ yi.”
Pea lolotonga ʻene lea mo ʻene haʻu foki ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe vahe tolu ʻae kongakau Kalitia, ʻonau ʻoho mai ki he fanga kāmeli, pea ʻave ia, pea kuo nau tāmateʻi ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
18 Bere a ogu so rekasa no, ɔbɔfo foforo bi ba bɛkae se, “Na wo mmabarima ne wo mmabea redidi na wɔrenom bobesa wɔ wɔn nuabarima panyin fi,
Pea lolotonga ʻene lea mo ʻene haʻu foki ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe kai mo inu uaine ʻa ho ngaahi foha mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine ʻi he fale ʻo honau taʻokete lahi:
19 na prɛko pɛ, ahum bi bɔ fii sare no so bedwiraa ofi no ntwea anan no. Ofi no dwiriw guu wɔn so na akunkum wɔn, na me nko ara na miguanee a merebɛbɔ wo amanneɛ yi.”
Pea ʻiloange, kuo hā mai ʻae fuʻu matangi lahi mei he toafa, ʻo taaʻi hono tuliki ʻe fā ʻoe fale, pea naʻe holo ia ki he kau talavou, pea kuo nau mate; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
20 Eyi maa Hiob sɔre gyinaa hɔ, sunsuan nʼatade mu na oyii ne tinwi. Afei ɔtenaa fam sɔree Awurade
Pea naʻe toki tuʻu hake ʻa Siope, ʻo ne haehae hono pulupulu, ʻo fakatekefua ia, pea fakafoʻohifo ki he kelekele, ʻo hū.
21 kae se, “Adagyaw na mede fi me na yam bae, na adagyaw na mede bɛsan akɔ. Awurade de mae, na Awurade afa; nhyira nka Awurade din!”
ʻO ne pehē, “Naʻaku haʻu telefua pe mei he manāva ʻo ʻeku faʻē, pea te u toe ʻalu telefua atu pe: naʻe foaki ʻe Sihova, pea kuo toʻo atu ʻe Sihova; fakafetaʻi pe ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.”
22 Eyi nyinaa mu no, Hiob anyɛ bɔne sɛ ɔbɛbɔ Onyankopɔn sobo.
ʻI he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē naʻe ʻikai angahala ʻa Siope, pe tuku ha kovi ki he ʻOtua.
