Hiob 18
1 Na Suhini Bildad buaa sɛ,
Wasephendula uBilidadi umShuhi wathi:
2 “Ɛberɛ bɛn na wobɛgyae kasa tenten yi? Dwene ho yie, na afei yɛbɛtumi akasa.
Koze kube nini libekela amazwi imigibe? Nanzelelani, lemva kwalokho sikhulume.
3 Adɛn enti na wofa yɛn sɛ anantwie na wosusu sɛ yɛnnim nyansa yi?
Kungani sithiwa sizinyamazana, singcolile emehlweni enu?
4 Wo a wode abufuo tete wo mu nketenkete, wo enti, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛfiri asase yi so anaasɛ wo enti, wɔnnwiri mmotan mfiri wɔn siberɛ anaa?
Udwengula umphefumulo wakhe ngokuthukuthela kwakhe. Umhlaba uzatshiywa ngenxa yakho yini, loba idwala lisuswe endaweni yalo?
5 “Omumuyɛfoɔ kanea adum; na ne ogya nnɛre bio.
Yebo, ukukhanya kwabakhohlakeleyo kuzacitshwa, lenhlansi yomlilo wakhe kayiyikukhanya.
6 Hann a ɛwɔ ne ntomadan mu duru sum; kanea a ɛsi ne ho no dum.
Ukukhanya kuzafiphala ethenteni lakhe, lesibane sakhe ngaphezu kwakhe sizacitshwa.
7 Nʼanammɔntuo mu ahoɔden ano bɛbrɛ ase; nʼankasa nhyehyɛeɛ bɛhwe nʼase.
Izinyathelo zamandla akhe zizafinyezwa, lecebo lakhe lizamwisela phansi.
8 Nʼanammɔn de no kɔ afidie mu, na ɔkyinkyini kɔtɔ nʼatena mu.
Ngoba uzaphoselwa embuleni zinyawo zakhe, ahambe phezu kwembule.
9 Afidie sɔ ne nantin na ɛsɔ ne mu denden.
Umjibila uzambamba isithende, isihitshela sizamkhulela.
10 Wɔasum no afidie ahinta wɔ fam; afidie wɔ ne kwan mu.
Igoda lakhe lifihlwe emhlabathini, lomjibila wakhe endleleni.
11 Ahunahuna ma ɔbɔ huboa wɔ ne ho nyinaa na ɛha no wɔ nʼanammɔntuo biara mu.
Izesabiso zizamethusa inhlangothi zonke, zixotshane laye enyaweni zakhe.
12 Atoyerɛnkyɛm kɔn dɔ no; na sɛ ɔhwe ase a, amanehunu retwɛn no.
Amandla akhe azaqedwa yindlala, lengozi ilindele ukukhubeka kwakhe.
13 Ɛwewe ne honam ani baabi; na owuo di ɛkan sɛe nʼakwaa.
Kuzakudla ingxenye zesikhumba sakhe; izibulo lokufa lidle ingxenye zakhe.
14 Wɔtwe no firi ne ntomadan banbɔeɛ mu na wɔde no brɛ ahunahunahene.
Ithemba lakhe lizahluthunwa ethenteni lakhe, njalo kumenze aye enkosini yezesabiso.
15 Ogya te ne ntomadan mu; na wɔabɔ sɔfe a ɛrederɛ apete nʼatenaeɛ.
Kuzahlala ethenteni lakhe elingeyisilo lakhe; isolufa izavuvuzelwa phezu kwendawo yakhe yokuhlala.
16 Ne nhini wuwu wɔ aseɛ na ne mman nso wu wɔ ɔsoro.
Impande zakhe zizakoma ngaphansi, logatsha lwakhe lubune ngaphezulu.
17 Wɔrenkae no asase so bio; na ɔrennya edin wɔ asase so.
Ukukhunjulwa kwakhe kuzabhubha emhlabeni, angabi labizo ezitaladeni.
18 Wɔka no firi hann mu kɔ sum mu na wɔpam no firi ewiase.
Bazamfuqa bamsuse ekukhanyeni bamuse emnyameni, bamxotshe emhlabeni.
19 Ɔnni mma anaa nananom wɔ ne nkurɔfoɔ mu, na nʼase ni biara renka wɔ baabi a ɔtenaeɛ.
Kayikuba lenzalo lasizukulwana ebantwini bakibo; kakuyikuba lansali endaweni zakhe zokuhlala.
20 Nnipa a wɔfiri atɔeɛ fam ho adwiri wɔn wɔ deɛ ato noɔ no ho; na wɔn a wɔwɔ apueeɛ fam abɔ huboa.
Abalandelayo bazakwethuswa lusuku lwakhe, labokuqala bazabanjwa yisesabiso.
21 Ampa ara sei na omumuyɛfoɔ atenaeɛ teɛ; sei ne beaeɛ a deɛ ɔnnim Onyankopɔn teɛ.”
Isibili zinjalo indawo zokuhlala zomubi, njalo yiyo le indawo yongamaziyo uNkulunkulu.
