Hiob 26
1 Na Hiob kasaa bio sɛ,
UJobe wasephendula wathi:
2 “Woaboa deɛ ɔnni tumi! Woagye basa a ɛnni ahoɔden!
“Usumsize njani ongelamandla! Usuyilamulele njani ingalo ebuthakathaka!
3 Woatu deɛ ɔnnim nyansa fo! Na woada nhunumu pa ara adi!
Yiseluleko esinjani osusiphe lowo ongelakuhlakanipha! Njalo usubonise mbono bani!
4 Hwan na ɔboaa wo ma wokaa saa nsɛm yi? Hwan honhom na ɛkasa faa wo mu?
Ngubani okuncedisileyo ukukhuluma amazwi la na? Ngokabani umoya okhulume ngomlomo wakho na?
5 “Awufoɔ wɔ ahoyera kɛseɛ mu, wɔn a wɔwɔ nsuo ase ne deɛ ɛte mu nyinaa.
Abafileyo basebuhlungwini obukhulu, labo abangaphansi kwamanzi lalabo abahlala kuwo.
UKufa kwambulekile phambi kukaNkulunkulu; ikhamisile indawo yokubhubha. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ɔtrɛ atifi fam ewiem wɔ deɛ ɛda mpan so; na ɔde asase sensɛn ohunu so.
Uyawendlala umkhathi wenyakatho endaweni engelalutho; aphanyeke umhlaba phezu kweze.
8 Ɔkyekyere nsuo hyɛ ne omununkum mu, nanso nsuo no mu duru ntumi mpae no.
Ugoqele amanzi emayezini akhe, kodwa amayezi kawapatshaki yikusindwa ngamanzi.
9 Ɔtrɛ ne omununkum mu de kata ɔsrane ani.
Uyayigubuzela inyanga egcweleyo, endlale amayezi phezu kwayo.
10 Ɔhyɛ agyiraeɛ wɔ nsuo so de to hyeɛ wɔ hann ne esum ntam.
Umisa umkhawulo wokwengama umkhathi emanzini kube ngumngcele phakathi kokukhanya lobumnyama.
11 Ɔsoro nnyinasoɔ woso, na nʼanimka ma wɔn ho dwiri wɔn.
Izinsika zamazulu ziyazamazama, zisethuswa yikukhuza kwakhe.
12 Ɔde ne tumi wɔsoo ɛpo ne nyansa mu, ɔtwitwaa ɛpobɔpɔn mu asinasini.
Ngamandla akhe waluthulisa ulwandle; ngenhlakanipho yakhe waquma uRahabi waba yiziqa.
13 Ɔde nʼahomeɛ maa ewiem teeɛ; na ne nsa wɔɔ ɔtweaseɛ a ɔrewea.
Ngomoya wakhe umkhathi wacethula; isandla sakhe sayigwaza inyoka ibaleka.
14 Yeinom yɛ ne nnwuma mfeafeaho; ɔka asomusɛm brɛoo kyerɛ yɛn! Na hwan na ɔbɛtumi ate ne tumi mmobɔmu no ase.”
Njalo le yimisebenzi yakhe engaphandle nje ekucineni; esikuzwayo yilizwana nje lokunyenyeza kwakhe! Pho ngubani ongawuzwisisa umdumo wamandla akhe na?”
