1 Na Temanni Elifas buaa sɛ,
Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Elifasi mei Timani, ʻo ne pehē,
2 “Enti onyansafoɔ de nsɛm a aba biara nni muo bɛyi nʼano anaasɛ ɔde apueeɛ mframa a emu yɛ hye bɛhyɛ nʼafuru ma?
“He ʻoku taau mo e tangata poto ke lau meʻa vaʻinga, mo fakapito hono kete ʻaki ʻae matangi hahake?
3 Ɔde nsɛm huhuo bɛdi anobaabaeɛ, aka nsɛm a ɛntu bunu biara anaa?
ʻOku taau ʻene leaʻaki ʻae lea taʻeʻaonga? Pe ko e ngaahi lau ʻe ʻikai te ne lavaʻi ʻaki ha lelei?
4 Wototo onyamesuro ase mmom na wosi Onyankopɔn mu ahotosoɔ ho ɛkwan.
ʻIo, ʻoku ke liʻaki ʻae manavahē, pea ke taʻofi ʻae lotu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
5 Wo bɔne kyerɛ wʼano deɛ ɔnka; na woafa aniteɛ tɛkrɛma.
He ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻe ho ngutu ʻa hoʻo angahala, ka ʻoku ke fili ki he ʻelelo ʻoe fakaoloolo.
6 Wo ankasa wʼano bu wo kumfɔ, ɛnyɛ me deɛ; wʼankasa wʼano di adanseɛ tia wo.
ʻOku talatalaakiʻi koe ʻe ho ngutu pe ʻoʻou, kae ʻikai ko au: ʻio, ko ho loungutu pe ʻoʻou ʻoku fakamoʻoni kiate koe.
7 “Wone onipa a wɔwoo wo dii ɛkan? Wɔwoo wo ansa na wɔrewo nkokoɔ?
“He ko e ʻuluaki tangata koe naʻe fanauʻi? Pe naʻe fakatupu koe ʻi muʻa ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga?
8 Wotie Onyankopɔn afotuo anaa? Wo nko ara na wonim nyansa anaa?
He kuo ke fanongo ʻe koe ki he meʻa fufū ʻae ʻOtua? Pea ʻoku ke fakangata ʻae poto kiate koe?
9 Ɛdeɛn na wonim a, yɛnnim? Nhunumu bɛn na wowɔ a yɛnnie?
Ko e hā ʻoku ke ʻilo, ka ʻoku ʻikai te mau ʻilo? Ko e hā ʻoku ke ʻilo pau, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kimautolu?
10 Deɛ wafu dwono ne akɔkoraa wɔ yɛn afa, wɔn a wɔanyini sene wʼagya mpo.
ʻOku ʻiate kimautolu ʻae ʻuluhinā mo e kau mātuʻa, ʻoku motuʻa lahi ʻi hoʻo tamai.
11 Onyankopɔn awerɛkyekyerɛ ne nsɛm a wɔka no brɛoo kyerɛ wo no sua ma wo anaa?
He ʻoku siʻi ʻae ngaahi fakafiemālie ʻae ʻOtua kiate koe? He ʻoku ai ha meʻa fakalilolilo ʻiate koe?
12 Adɛn enti na wʼakoma atwe wo korɔ adɛn enti na wʼani asɔ ogya,
Ko e hā ʻoku ʻāvea ai koe ʻe ho loto? Pea ʻoku lalama ho mata ʻi he hā.
13 na woadane wʼabofuo agu Onyankopɔn so na woma saa nsɛm yi pue firi wʼano?
Koeʻuhi ʻoku ke fakafoki ho loto ke tuʻu ki he ʻOtua, pea tuku ke tafe ʻae ngaahi lea ni mei ho ngutu?
14 “Ɔdasani ne hwan a ɔbɛtumi ayɛ pɛ, anaasɛ deɛ ɔbaa awo noɔ bɛn na ɔbɛtumi ayɛ ɔteneneeni?
Ko e hā ʻae tangata, ke pehē ʻoku maʻa ia? Pe ha taha ʻoku fanauʻi ʻe he fefine, ke pehē ʻoku tonuhia ia?
15 Onyankopɔn nni ahotosoɔ wɔ nʼakronkronfoɔ mu. Ɔsorosoro mpo nnyɛ kronn wɔ nʼani so,
Vakai, ʻoku ʻikai falala siʻi ʻe ia ki heʻene kau māʻoniʻoni; ʻio, naʻa mo e ngaahi langi ʻoku ʻikai maʻa ia ʻi hono ʻao.
16 na nkantom onipa bɔnefoɔ ne omumuyɛfoɔ a ɔnom awurukasɛm sɛ nsuo.
Ka ʻe fēfē hono lahi hake ʻoe fakalielia mo e ʻuli ʻoe tangata, ʻaia ʻoku ne inumia ʻae angahala ʻo hangē ha vai?
17 “Tie me, na mɛkyerɛ wo mu; ma menka deɛ mahunu nkyerɛ wo,
“Te u fakahā kiate koe, fanongo kiate au; pea ko ia kuo u mamata ai te u fakamatala atu;
18 deɛ anyansafoɔ apae mu aka, a wɔamfa biribiara a wɔnya firii wɔn agyanom hɔ no ansie
ʻAia naʻe tala ʻe he kakai poto mei heʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻo ʻikai fufū ia:
19 (wɔn a wɔde asase no maa wɔn ɛberɛ a ananafoɔ biara nni hɔ):
ʻAkinautolu pē naʻe foaki ki ai ʻae fonua, pea naʻe ʻikai feʻaluʻaki ha muli ʻiate kinautolu.
20 Omumuyɛfoɔ kɔ ahohiahia mu ne nkwanna nyinaa. Na basabasayɛni nso, wɔahyehyɛ ne mfeɛ nyinaa ama no.
ʻOku langa mamahi ʻae tangata angahala ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, pea ʻoku fufū mei he fakaaoao ʻae lau ʻoe ngaahi taʻu.
21 Nnyegyeɛ a ɛyɛ hu hyɛ nʼasom ma; na sɛ ɛyɛ sɛ nneɛma rekɔ yie ma no a, akorɔmfoɔ to hyɛ ne so.
Ko e ongo fakailifia ʻoku ʻi hono telinga: ʻi he lolotonga ʻo ʻene monūʻia ʻe hoko kiate ia ʻae fakaʻauha.
22 Ɔpa aba sɛ ɔbɛdwane afiri esum mu; wɔabɔ no ato hɔ ama akofena.
ʻOku ʻikai ʻamanaki ʻe ia ke ne liu mai mei he fakapoʻuli, pea ʻoku talia ia ʻe he heletā.
23 Ɔkyinkyini hwehwɛ aduane; ɔnim sɛ esum da no abɛn.
ʻOku ʻalu fano pe ia ʻo kumi ʻae mā, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko mā ia?’ ʻOku ne ʻilo ʻoku ofi ʻae ʻaho ʻoe fakapoʻuli.
24 Ɔhaw ne ahoyera yi no hu; ɛhyɛ ne so sɛ ɔhene a wasiesie ne ho ama ɔko,
ʻE fakamanavahēʻi ia ʻe he mamahi mo e feinga; te na ikuna ia, ʻo hangē ha tuʻi kuo teu ki he tuʻa.
25 ɛfiri sɛ ɔtenetene ne nsa kyerɛ Onyankopɔn na ɔma ne ho so tia Otumfoɔ.
He ʻoku ne mafao atu hono nima ki he ʻOtua, ʻo ne fakamālohi ia ʻo tuʻu ki he Māfimafi.
26 Wɔde akokyɛm a emu pi na ɛyɛ den kɔ ne so a wɔnsuro no.
ʻOku ne ʻohofi kiate ia, ʻio, ki hono kia, ki he ngaahi potu matolu ʻo hono sifa fatafata:
27 “Ɛwom sɛ sradeɛ ama wɔn afono atotɔ na wɔn asene mu ɛnam agu mmɛbɛ deɛ,
Koeʻuhi ʻoku ne fai ke fuʻu pupula hono mata, pea ne fangapesi ke matolu ʻae ngako ʻi hono ngaahi potu.
28 nanso wɔbɛtena nkuro a aguo so na wɔatena afie a obi nte mu, afie a ɛrebubu mu.
Ka ʻoku ne nofo ʻi he ngaahi kolo lala, ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoku ʻikai nofo ai ha taha, ʻaia kuo tuʻutuʻuni ko e ngaahi tuʻunga veve.
29 Wɔrenkɔ so nyɛ adefoɔ bio, na wɔn ahonya rennyina, na wɔn agyapadeɛ so bɛte na ayera wɔ asase so.
ʻE ʻikai koloaʻia ia, ʻe ʻikai tuʻumaʻu ʻene ngaahi meʻa, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne faʻa fai ke fakatolonga hono lelei ʻi he fonua.
30 Esum bɛduru wɔn; ogyaframa bɛkusa wɔn mman, na Onyankopɔn anom ahomeguo bɛsoa wɔn akɔ.
ʻE ʻikai ʻalu ia mei he fakapoʻuli; ʻe mangia ʻe he afi ʻa hono ngaahi vaʻa, pea ʻi he mānava ʻo hono fofonga ʻe mole atu ia.
31 Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔde wɔn ho to nneɛma huhuo so de daadaa wɔn ho, ɛfiri sɛ wɔrennya hwee mfiri mu.
Ke ʻoua naʻa falala ia ʻaia kuo kākaaʻi ki he vaʻinga: ko hono totongi ko e vaʻinga pe.
32 Ansa na wɔn da bɛduru no, wɔbɛtua wɔn ka a ebi renka, na wɔn mman renyɛ frɔmfrɔm.
ʻE fakamoʻoni eni ʻi he teʻeki hoko hono ʻaho, pea ʻe ʻikai maʻuiʻui hono vaʻa.
33 Wɔbɛyɛ sɛ bobedua a wɔapore so aba a ɛnnyiniiɛ, te sɛ ngo dua a ne nhyerɛnne repore gu fam.
ʻE lulu ʻe ia ke tō hono fuhi kālepi taʻemomoho ʻo hangē pe ko e vaine, pea te ne fakamokulu hono fisi ʻo hangē pē ko e ʻolive.
34 Na abɔnefoɔ fekuo a wɔnnim Onyankopɔn no renso aba, na ogya bɛhye wɔn a wɔdɔ kɛtɛasehyɛ no ntomadan.
He koeʻuhi ʻe lala ʻae fakatahaʻanga ʻoe kau angahala, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻe he afi ʻae ngaahi fale naʻe maʻu ʻaki ʻae koloa kovi.
35 Wɔnyinsɛn ɔhaw na wɔwo amumuyɛ; wɔn awotwaa siesie nnaadaa.”
ʻOku nau tuʻituʻia ʻi he pauʻu, pea nau fanauʻi ʻae vaʻinga, pea ʻoku teuteu ʻe honau loto ʻae kākā.
