Hiob 2
1 Ɛda foforɔ bi, abɔfoɔ no baa Awurade anim bio na Satan nso kaa wɔn ho baeɛ.
Kwelinye ilanga njalo izingilosi zeza phambi kukaThixo, loSathane laye weza lazo ukuzezethula kuye.
2 Awurade bisaa Satan sɛ, “Wofiri he na wobaa ha?” Satan buaa Awurade sɛ, “Mefiri asase so akyinkyinakyinkyini ne emu akɔneabadie mu.”
UThixo wasesithi kuSathane, “Uvela ngaphi?” USathane wamphendula wathi, “Ngivela ekuzulazuleni emhlabeni, ngihambahamba ngisiya le lale kuwo.”
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.”
UThixo wasesithi kuSathane, “Usuke wayinanzelela yini inceku yami uJobe? Kakho emhlabeni onjengaye; kalasici, uqondile, indoda emesabayo uNkulunkulu, exwaya okubi. Ulokhu emi kubo ubuqotho bakhe lanxa wangiphoqa ukuthi ngimdilize kungelasizatho.”
4 Satan buaa Awurade sɛ, “Wedeɛ pere wedeɛ. Onipa de deɛ ɔwɔ nyinaa bɛma de apere ne nkwa.
USathane waphendula wathi, “Isikhumba ngesikhumba! Umuntu anganikela loba yini alayo ukusiza impilo yakhe.
5 Sɛ ɛbɛtumi a tene wo nsa fa ka ne honam ne ne nnompe, na ɔbɛdome wo wɔ wʼanim!”
Kodwa yelula isandla sakho umtshaye inyama lamathambo akhe, uzabona uzakuthuka ebusweni bakho.”
6 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Satan sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, ɔwɔ wo nsam na ne nkwa deɛ, gyaa mu ma no.”
UThixo wathi kuSathane, “Kulungile, usezandleni zakho, kodwa ungayithinti impilo yakhe.”
7 Enti, Satan firii Awurade anim, na ɔmaa akuro a ɛyɛ yea totɔɔ Hiob ho firi ne nan ase kɔsii nʼapampam.
Ngakho uSathane wasesuka phambi kukaThixo wathela uJobe izilonda ezibuhlungu kusukela ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe kusiyafika esicholo sekhanda lakhe.
8 Afei, na kyɛmferɛ na Hiob de dwi ne ho, ɛberɛ a ɔte nsõ mu.
UJobe wasethatha ucezu lodengezi wazihwaya ngalo ehlezi esilotheni.
9 Ne yere bisaa no sɛ, “Woda so kura wo pɛpɛyɛ no mu ara? Dome Onyankopɔn, na wu!”
Umkakhe wathi kuye, “Ulokhu ubambelele kubo ubuqotho bakho na? Mthuke uNkulunkulu uzifele!”
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.
Wamphendula wathi, “Ukhuluma njengomfazi oyisiwula. Sizakwamukela okuhle kuNkulunkulu singalwamukeli uhlupho na?” Kukho konke lokhu uJobe kenzanga isono ngakutshoyo.
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.
Kwathi abangane bakaJobe abathathu, u-Elifazi umThemani, uBhilidadi umShuhi loZofari umNahama sebezwile ngazozonke inhlupho ezazimwele, basuka emakhaya abo bahlangana bavumelana ukuthi bahambe bayomqinisa njalo bamduduze.
12 Wɔhunuu Hiob firii akyiri no, wɔanhunu sɛ ɛyɛ ɔno; wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ twaa agyaadwoɔ, sunsuanee wɔn ntadeɛ mu, tuu mfuturo guu wɔn tiri so.
Bathi bembona besesebucwala kabaze bamazi; baqhinqa isililo, badabula izembatho zabo, bathela uthuli emakhanda abo.
13 Na wɔne no tenaa fam nnanson, awia ne anadwo. Na obiara ankasa, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔhunuu sɛ nʼamanehunu no nyɛ asɛmwa.
Basebehlala phansi laye okwensuku eziyisikhombisa lobusuku obuyisikhombisa. Kakho kubo owatsho ulutho kuye ngoba babona ubuhlungu obukhulu ayephakathi kwabo.
