< Hiob 13 >
1 “Mʼani ahunu yeinom nyinaa, mʼaso ate, na ate aseɛ nso.
Khangela, konke ilihlo lami likubonile, indlebe yami izwile yakuqedisisa.
2 Deɛ wonim no, me nso menim; wo nsene me.
Njengokolwazi lwenu lami ngiyakwazi; kangiphansi kulani.
3 Nanso mepɛ sɛ mekasa kyerɛ Otumfoɔ no na me ne Onyankopɔn toatoa adwene wɔ mʼasɛm ho.
Kodwa mina ngizakhuluma loSomandla, ngifisa ukuqondisana loNkulunkulu.
4 Mode atorɔ mmom na afɔre me ho; mo nyinaa moyɛ ayaresafoɔ a mo ho nni mfasoɔ!
Kodwa lina-ke ligcona ngamanga, lonke lingabelaphi abangelamsebenzi.
5 Sɛ mobɛyɛ komm koraa a ɛno na ɛbɛyɛ nyansa ama mo!
Kungathi ngabe liyathula lithi zwi; lokhu kube yinhlakanipho kini!
6 Afei montie mʼano asɛm; montie mʼanoyie.
Ake lizwe ukuzivikela kwami, lilalele impikiso zendebe zami.
7 Mobɛka amumuyɛsɛm ama Onyankopɔn anaa? Mobɛka nnaadaasɛm ama no anaa?
Lizamkhulumela uNkulunkulu ngokubi, limkhulumele ngenkohliso yini?
8 Mobɛkyea mo aso ama no? Mobɛka Onyankopɔn asɛm ama no anaa?
Lizakwemukela ubuso bakhe, lizammela yini uNkulunkulu?
9 Sɛ ɔhwehwɛ mo mu a, ɛbɛsi mo yie anaa? Mobɛtumi adaadaa no sɛdeɛ modaadaa nnipa no anaa?
Kuzakuba kuhle yini lapho elihlola? Lizamkhohlisa yini njengokhohlisa umuntu?
10 Sɛ mokyeaa mo aso wɔ kɔkoam a, sɛdeɛ ɛteɛ biara, ɔbɛka mo anim.
Isibili uzalisola, uba lisemukela ubuso ensitha.
11 Nʼanimuonyam mmɔ mo hu anaa? Ne ho suro nntɔ mo so anaa?
Ubukhulu bakhe kabulethusi yini, lokwesabeka kwakhe kulehlele?
12 Mo kasatɔmmɛ yɛ mmɛbuo a ɛte sɛ nsõ; mo anoyie yɛ dɔteɛ.
Izikhumbuzo zenu ziyizaga zomlotha, izivikelo zenu ziyizivikelo zebumba.
13 “Monyɛ dinn, na menkasa; na deɛ ɛbɛyɛ me biara mmra me so.
Thulani lingiyekele, ukuze ngikhulume mina; kungehlele loba kuyini.
14 Adɛn enti na mede me ho to amaneɛ mu na mede me nkwa to me nsam?
Ngizayithathelani inyama yami ngamazinyo ami, ngibeke impilo yami esandleni sami?
15 Ɛwom sɛ ɔkumm me deɛ, nanso ne so na mʼani bɛda; ampa ara mɛdi mʼakwan ho adanseɛ wɔ nʼanim.
Lanxa ezangibulala, ngizathemba kuye. Kanti ngizazimela indlela zami phambi kwakhe.
16 Nokorɛm, yei na ɛbɛyɛ me nkwagyeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ deɛ ɔnsuro Onyankopɔn no rentumi nkɔ nʼanim!
Njalo uzakuba lusindiso lwami; ngoba umzenzisi kayikuza phambi kwakhe.
17 Montie me nsɛm yi yie; monyɛ aso mma deɛ meka.
Zwisisani ilizwi lami, lengcazelo yami ngendlebe zenu.
18 Afei a masiesie me nkurobɔ yi, menim sɛ mɛdi bem.
Khangelani-ke, sengilubeke kuhle udaba lwami, ngiyazi ukuthi mina ngizalungisiswa.
19 Obi bɛtumi abɔ me kwaadu anaa? Sɛ ɛte saa deɛ a, anka mɛyɛ komm na mawu.
Ngubani lowo ozaphikisana lami? Nxa khathesi ngithula ngizaphela.
20 “Ao Onyankopɔn, yɛ saa nneɛma mmienu yi pɛ ma me, na afei meremfa me ho nsuma wo:
Kuphela ungenzi izinto ezimbili kimi; khona ngingayikucatshela ubuso bakho.
21 Yi wo nsa firi me so kɔ akyirikyiri, na gyae wo ho hu a wode hunahuna me no.
Susela khatshana lami isandla sakho, lokwesabeka kwakho kungangethusi.
22 Afei samena me na mɛba, anaa ma menkasa na bua me.
Ubusungibiza, mina ngizaphendula; kumbe ngikhulume, ungiphendule.
23 Mfomsoɔ ne bɔne dodoɔ ahe na mayɛ? Kyerɛ me me mfomsoɔ ne me bɔne.
Zingaki iziphambeko lezono engilazo? Ngazisa isiphambeko sami lesono sami.
24 Adɛn enti na wode wʼanim asie me na wodwene sɛ meyɛ wo ɔtamfoɔ?
Ufihlelani ubuso bakho, ungiphathe njengesitha sakho?
25 Wobɛyɛ ahahan a mframa rebɔ no ayayadeɛ anaa? Wobɛtaa ntɛtɛ a awoɔ anaa?
Uzakwethusa yini ihlamvu eliphephethekayo? Njalo uzaxotshana lomule owomileyo yini?
26 Wotwerɛ soboɔ a ɛyɛ yea tia me, na woka me mmabunuberɛ mu bɔne nyinaa gu me so.
Ngoba ubale izinto ezibabayo umelene lami, wangenza ngadla ilifa leziphambeko zobutsha bami.
27 Wode nkyehoma gu me nan; wohwɛ mʼanammɔnkwan nyinaa so yie na wode ahyɛnsodeɛ ayeyɛ mʼanammɔn mu.
Ufake lenyawo zami esigodweni, waqaphela zonke indlela zami, wazidweba uluphawu empandeni zezinyawo zami.
28 “Enti onipa nkwa sa te sɛ biribi a aporɔ, te sɛ atadeɛ a nweweboa adie.
Yena-ke njengokubolileyo uyaguga, njengesembatho inundu esidlayo.
