Hiob 11
1 Na Naamani Sofar buaa sɛ,
Forsothe Sophar Naamathites answeride, and seide,
2 “Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔyi saa nsɛm yi ano anaa? Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbu saa ɔkasafoɔ yi bem anaa?
Whether he, that spekith many thingis, schal not also here? ether whethir a man ful of wordis schal be maad iust?
3 Wo nsɛm hunu no bɛma nnipa ayɛ komm anaa? Sɛ wodi fɛ a obiara renka wʼanim anaa?
Schulen men be stille to thee aloone? whanne thou hast scorned othere men, schalt thou not be ouercomun of ony man?
4 Woka kyerɛ Onyankopɔn sɛ, ‘Me gyidie ho nni asɛm na meyɛ pɛ wɔ wʼani so.’
For thou seidist, My word is cleene, and Y am cleene in thi siyt.
5 Ao, anka mepɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn kasa, anka ɔnkasa ntia wo
And `Y wolde, that God spak with thee, and openyde hise lippis to thee;
6 na ɔmmue nyansa mu ahintasɛm so nkyerɛ wo, ɛfiri sɛ nyansa turodoo yɛ afanu. Hunu yei sɛ, Onyankopɔn werɛ afiri wo bɔne no bi mpo.
to schewe to thee the priuetees of wisdom, and that his lawe is manyfold, and thou schuldist vndurstonde, that thou art requirid of hym to paie myche lesse thingis, than thi wickidnesse disserueth.
7 “Wobɛtumi ate Onyankopɔn anwanwadeɛ ase anaa? Wobɛtumi abɔre ahunu deɛ Otumfoɔ no tumi kɔpem anaa?
In hap thou schalt comprehende the steppis of God, and thou schalt fynde Almyyti God `til to perfeccioun.
8 Ɛkorɔn sene ɔsoro, ɛdeɛn na wobɛtumi ayɛ? Emu dɔ sene damena ase tɔnn, ɛdeɛn na wobɛtumi ahunu? (Sheol h7585)
He is hiyere than heuene, and what schalt thou do? he is deppere than helle, and wherof schalt thou knowe? (Sheol h7585)
9 Ne nsusuiɛ mu ware sene asase na ɛtrɛ sene ɛpo.
His mesure is lengere than erthe, and brodere than the see.
10 “Sɛ ɔba na ɔde wo to nneduadan mu ansa na wasi nkonnwa a, hwan na ɔbɛtumi asi no ɛkwan?
If he distrieth alle thingis, ethir dryueth streitli `in to oon, who schal ayenseie hym? Ethir who may seie to hym, Whi doest thou so?
11 Ampa ara ɔhyɛ nnipa nnaadaafoɔ nso; na sɛ ɔhunu amumuyɛ a, ɔnhyɛ ne nso anaa?
For he knowith the vanyte of men; and whether he seynge byholdith not wickidnesse?
12 Nanso ogyimifoɔ rentumi nyɛ onyansafoɔ sɛdeɛ wɔrentumi nwo afunumu ba sɛ onipa no.
A veyn man is reisid in to pride; and gessith hym silf borun fre, as the colt of a wilde asse.
13 “Na sɛ wode wʼakoma ma no na wopagya wo nsa kyerɛ no,
But thou hast maad stidefast thin herte, and hast spred abrood thin hondis to hym.
14 sɛ wogyaa bɔne a wokura no mu na woamma amumuyɛ antena wo ntomadan mu a,
If thou doest awei `fro thee the wickidnesse, which is in thin hond, and vnriytfulnesse dwellith not in thi tabernacle,
15 ɛnneɛ, wobɛpagya wo ti a womfɛre; wobɛgyina pintinn a wonsuro.
thanne thou schalt mowe reise thi face with out wem, and thou schalt be stidefast, and thou schalt not drede.
16 Wo werɛ bɛfiri wʼahokyere, na ɛbɛyɛ wo sɛ nsuo a asene korɔ.
And thou schalt foryete wretchidnesse, and thou schalt not thenke of it, as of watris that han passid.
17 Wʼabrabɔ bɛhyerɛn asene owigyinaeɛ, na esum bɛyɛ sɛ adekyeɛ hann.
And as myddai schynynge it schal reise to thee at euentid; and whanne thou gessist thee wastid, thou schalt rise vp as the dai sterre.
18 Wobɛnya banbɔ, ɛfiri sɛ anidasoɔ wɔ hɔ; wobɛhwɛ wo ho ahyia, na wahome asomdwoeɛ mu.
And thou schalt haue trist, while hope schal be set forth to thee; and thou biried schalt slepe sikurli.
19 Wobɛda ahome, na obi renhunahuna wo, na bebree bɛhwehwɛ mmoa afiri wo nkyɛn.
Thou schalt reste, and `noon schal be that schal make thee aferd; and ful many men schulen biseche thi face.
20 Amumuyɛfoɔ ani bɛfira, wɔrentumi nnwane; na wɔn anidasoɔ bɛdane owuo ahomeguo.”
But the iyen of wickid men schulen faile; and socour schal perische fro hem, and the hope of hem schal be abhominacyioun of soule.
