< Hiob 2 >

1 Ɛda foforɔ bi, abɔfoɔ no baa Awurade anim bio na Satan nso kaa wɔn ho baeɛ.
Tsiku linanso pamene ana a Mulungu anabwera kudzadzionetsa pamaso pa Yehova, nayenso Satana anabwera nawo limodzi kudzadzionetsa pamaso pa Yehova.
2 Awurade bisaa Satan sɛ, “Wofiri he na wobaa ha?” Satan buaa Awurade sɛ, “Mefiri asase so akyinkyinakyinkyini ne emu akɔneabadie mu.”
Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Satana, “Kodi iwe ukuchokera kuti?” Satana anayankha Yehova kuti, “Ndakhala ndikungoyendayenda ndi kumangozungulira mʼdzikoli.”
3 Na Awurade bisaa Satan sɛ, “Woadwene mʼakoa Hiob ho anaa? Obiara nte sɛ ɔno wɔ asase so, ne ho nni asɛm na ɔtene. Ɔyɛ onipa a ɔsuro Onyankopɔn na ɔkyiri bɔne. Ɛwom sɛ wohyɛɛ me sɛ mensɛe no a menni nnyinasoɔ biara deɛ, nanso ɔda so gyina ne pɛpɛyɛ no mu.”
Pamenepo Yehova anati kwa Satana, “Kodi unalingalirapo za mtumiki wanga Yobu? Palibe wina pa dziko lapansi wofanana naye; ndi munthu wosalakwa ndi wolungama mtima, munthu amene amaopa Mulungu ndi kupewa zoyipa. Ndipo iye akanalibe wangwiro, ngakhale iwe unandiwumiriza kuti ndikulole kuti umuvutitse popanda chifukwa.”
4 Satan buaa Awurade sɛ, “Wedeɛ pere wedeɛ. Onipa de deɛ ɔwɔ nyinaa bɛma de apere ne nkwa.
Satana anayankha kuti, “Iye ayesedwe mʼthupi mwake. Munthu angathe kupereka zonse ali nazo malingana iyeyo ali ndi moyo.
5 Sɛ ɛbɛtumi a tene wo nsa fa ka ne honam ne ne nnompe, na ɔbɛdome wo wɔ wʼanim!”
Koma tatambasulani dzanja lanu ndi kuwononga thupi lake, ndipo iyeyo adzakutukwanani ndithu pamaso panu.”
6 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Satan sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, ɔwɔ wo nsam na ne nkwa deɛ, gyaa mu ma no.”
Yehova anati kwa Satana, “Chabwino, iye ali mʼmanja mwako; koma moyo wake usawuchotse.”
7 Enti, Satan firii Awurade anim, na ɔmaa akuro a ɛyɛ yea totɔɔ Hiob ho firi ne nan ase kɔsii nʼapampam.
Choncho Satana anachoka pamaso pa Yehova napita kukazunza Yobu ndi zilonda zaululu pa thupi lake lonse.
8 Afei, na kyɛmferɛ na Hiob de dwi ne ho, ɛberɛ a ɔte nsõ mu.
Pamenepo Yobu anatenga phale ndi kumadzikanda nalo atakhala pa dzala la phulusa.
9 Ne yere bisaa no sɛ, “Woda so kura wo pɛpɛyɛ no mu ara? Dome Onyankopɔn, na wu!”
Mkazi wake anati kwa iye, “Kodi ukuwumirirabe kukhala wangwiro? Tukwana Mulungu kuti ufe!”
10 Na Hiob buaa no sɛ, “Wokasa sɛ ɔbaa a ɔyɛ ɔkwasea. Ade pa deɛ, yɛagye afiri Onyankopɔn nsam na ade bɔne na yɛmpo anaa?” Yei nyinaa mu, Hiob anka asɛm bɔne.
Yobu anayankha kuti, “Ukuyankhula ngati mkazi wopusa. Kodi tidzalandira zokoma zokhazokha kwa Mulungu, osalandiranso zowawa?” Mu zonsezi, Yobu sanachimwe pa zimene anayankhula.
11 Ɛberɛ a Hiob nnamfo baasa bi a wɔne Temanni Elifas, Suhini Bildad ne Naamani Sofar tee amanehunu a aba Hiob so no, wɔfirii wɔn afie mu, hyia yɛɛ adwene sɛ wɔbɛkɔ akɔhwɛ no na wɔakyekye ne werɛ.
Abwenzi atatu a Yobu, Elifazi wa ku Temani, Bilidadi wa ku Suki ndi Zofari wa ku Naama, atamva za tsoka lonse limene linamugwera iye, ananyamuka ku nyumba zawo nakumana malo amodzi mopangana kuti apite ndi kukamupepesa Yobu ndi kumutonthoza.
12 Wɔhunuu Hiob firii akyiri no, wɔanhunu sɛ ɛyɛ ɔno; wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ twaa agyaadwoɔ, sunsuanee wɔn ntadeɛ mu, tuu mfuturo guu wɔn tiri so.
Atamuona Yobuyo, iwo ali chapatalipo, sanathe kumuzindikira. Choncho anayamba kulira mokweza mawu ndipo anangʼamba mikanjo yawo ndi kuwaza fumbi pa mitu yawo.
13 Na wɔne no tenaa fam nnanson, awia ne anadwo. Na obiara ankasa, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔhunuu sɛ nʼamanehunu no nyɛ asɛmwa.
Tsono anakhala naye pamodzi pansi kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri, usana ndi usiku omwe. Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe anayankhula naye, chifukwa anazindikira kuti Yobu amavutika kwambiri.
