Hiob 11
1 Na Naamani Sofar buaa sɛ,
Wasephendula uZofari umNahama wathi:
2 “Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔyi saa nsɛm yi ano anaa? Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbu saa ɔkasafoɔ yi bem anaa?
Kambe kabuphendulwa yini ubunengi bamazwi? Njalo isilawuli singalungisiswa yini?
3 Wo nsɛm hunu no bɛma nnipa ayɛ komm anaa? Sɛ wodi fɛ a obiara renka wʼanim anaa?
Ukulawula kwakho kuzathulisa abantu yini? Lapho ukloloda, kakho ongakuyangisa yini?
4 Woka kyerɛ Onyankopɔn sɛ, ‘Me gyidie ho nni asɛm na meyɛ pɛ wɔ wʼani so.’
Ngoba uthe: Imfundiso yami ihlanzekile, ngihlambulukile emehlweni akho.
5 Ao, anka mepɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn kasa, anka ɔnkasa ntia wo
Kodwa-ke kungathi uNkulunkulu angakhuluma, avule indebe zakhe kuwe,
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.
ukuze akwazise imfihlakalo zenhlakanipho, ukuthi ziphindwe kabili ngenhlakanipho eqotho. Yazi-ke ukuthi uNkulunkulu ubiza kuwe okulutshwana kulecala lakho.
7 “Wobɛtumi ate Onyankopɔn anwanwadeɛ ase anaa? Wobɛtumi abɔre ahunu deɛ Otumfoɔ no tumi kɔpem anaa?
Ungafumana ukujula kukaNkulunkulu na? Ungamfumana yini uSomandla kuze kube sekupheleleni?
8 Ɛkorɔn sene ɔsoro, ɛdeɛn na wobɛtumi ayɛ? Emu dɔ sene damena ase tɔnn, ɛdeɛn na wobɛtumi ahunu? (Sheol h7585)
Kuphakeme njengamazulu, ungenzani? Kutshonile kulesihogo, ungazini? (Sheol h7585)
9 Ne nsusuiɛ mu ware sene asase na ɛtrɛ sene ɛpo.
Isilinganiso sakho side kulomhlaba, sibanzi kulolwandle.
10 “Sɛ ɔba na ɔde wo to nneduadan mu ansa na wasi nkonnwa a, hwan na ɔbɛtumi asi no ɛkwan?
Uba esedlula avalele kumbe abuthanise, ngubani-ke ongamnqanda?
11 Ampa ara ɔhyɛ nnipa nnaadaafoɔ nso; na sɛ ɔhunu amumuyɛ a, ɔnhyɛ ne nso anaa?
Ngoba yena uyabazi abantu abayize, uyabona ububi; ngakho kayikukuqaphelisa yini?
12 Nanso ogyimifoɔ rentumi nyɛ onyansafoɔ sɛdeɛ wɔrentumi nwo afunumu ba sɛ onipa no.
Ngoba umuntu oyisiphukuphuku angaba lokuqedisisa, lanxa umuntu engazalwa njengethole likababhemi weganga.
13 “Na sɛ wode wʼakoma ma no na wopagya wo nsa kyerɛ no,
Uba wena ulungisa inhliziyo yakho, welulele izandla zakho kuye,
14 sɛ wogyaa bɔne a wokura no mu na woamma amumuyɛ antena wo ntomadan mu a,
uba ububi busesandleni sakho, bubeke khatshana, lobubi kabungahlali emathenteni akho.
15 ɛnneɛ, wobɛpagya wo ti a womfɛre; wobɛgyina pintinn a wonsuro.
Ngoba lapho uzaphakamisa ubuso bakho ungelasici, njalo uqine, ungesabi.
16 Wo werɛ bɛfiri wʼahokyere, na ɛbɛyɛ wo sɛ nsuo a asene korɔ.
Ngoba wena uzakhohlwa usizi lwakho, ulukhumbule njengamanzi asedlulile.
17 Wʼabrabɔ bɛhyerɛn asene owigyinaeɛ, na esum bɛyɛ sɛ adekyeɛ hann.
Lobude bempilo yakho buzakhanya kulemini enkulu; loba kulomnyama kuzakuba njengekuseni.
18 Wobɛnya banbɔ, ɛfiri sɛ anidasoɔ wɔ hɔ; wobɛhwɛ wo ho ahyia, na wahome asomdwoeɛ mu.
Njalo uzakuba lethemba ngoba kulethemba; uzagebha, uzalala ngokuvikeleka.
19 Wobɛda ahome, na obi renhunahuna wo, na bebree bɛhwehwɛ mmoa afiri wo nkyɛn.
Uzalala, njalo kakho ozakwethusa, labanengi bazancenga phambi kwakho.
20 Amumuyɛfoɔ ani bɛfira, wɔrentumi nnwane; na wɔn anidasoɔ bɛdane owuo ahomeguo.”
Kodwa amehlo ababi azafiphala, lesiphephelo sizachitheka kubo, lethemba labo lizakuba yikuphela komphefumulo.
