< Hiob 33 >
1 “Na afei, Hiob, tie me nsɛm; yɛ aso ma biribiara a mɛka.
Kube kanti-ke, Jobe, ake uzwe inkulumo zami, ubeke indlebe kuwo wonke amazwi ami.
2 Merebɛbue mʼano; me nsɛm aba me tɛkrɛma so.
Khangelani, sengivule umlomo wami, ulimi lwami lukhuluma emlonyeni wami.
3 Me nsɛm firi akoma a ɛtene mu; na mʼano de ahonim pa ka deɛ menim.
Amazwi ami angawokuqonda kwenhliziyo yami, azakhuluma ulwazi lwendebe zami ngokuhlanzeka.
4 Onyankopɔn Honhom na abɔ me; Otumfoɔ no ahome ma me nkwa.
UMoya kaNkulunkulu wangenza, lokuphefumula kukaSomandla kwanginika impilo.
5 Sɛ wobɛtumi a, ma me mmuaeɛ; siesie wo ho, na ka si mʼanim.
Uba ulakho ngiphendula; zihlele phambi kwami, uzimise.
6 Wo ne me nyinaa yɛ pɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn anim; me nso wɔbɔɔ me firii dɔteɛ mu.
Khangela, nginjengawe kuNkulunkulu, lami ngathatshwa ebumbeni.
7 Ɛnsɛ sɛ wosuro me, na ɛnsɛ sɛ me nsa yɛ den wɔ wo so.
Khangela, ukwethusa kwami kungakwethusi, lesandla sami singabi nzima phezu kwakho.
8 “Nanso woaka ama mate, metee saa nsɛm no, na wokaa sɛ,
Isibili ukhulume endlebeni zami, ngezwa ilizwi lamazwi, uthi:
9 ‘Meyɛ kronn na menni bɔne; me ho te na afɔdie biara nni me ho.
Ngimsulwa, kangilasiphambeko, ngihlanzekile, njalo kakulabubi kimi.
10 Nanso Onyankopɔn anya me ho mfomsoɔ; wafa me sɛ ne ɔtamfoɔ.
Khangela, uthola amathuba okumelana lami, ungibala njengesitha sakhe.
11 Ɔde me nan ahyɛ mpɔkyerɛ mu; na nʼani wɔ mʼakwan nyinaa so.’
Ufaka inyawo zami esigodweni, aqaphele zonke indlela zami.
12 “Nanso meka mekyerɛ wo sɛ, yei mu deɛ, woayɛ mfomsoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ Onyankopɔn so sene ɔdasani.
Khangela, kulokhu kawulunganga; ngizakuphendula, ngoba uNkulunkulu mkhulu kulomuntu.
13 Na adɛn enti na wonwiinwii hyɛ no sɛ ɔmmua onipa nsɛm biara anaa?
Umphikiselani? Ngoba engaphenduli leyodwa yezindaba zakhe.
14 Nanso, Onyankopɔn kasa wɔ akwan ahodoɔ so, na ebia nnipa nte.
Ngoba uNkulunkulu ukhuluma kanye, yebo, kabili, engekho onanzayo.
15 Ɔkasa wɔ daeɛso ne anadwo anisoadehunu mu, ɛberɛ a nna afa nnipa na wɔretu nkorɔmo wɔ wɔn mpa so,
Ephutsheni, kumbono webusuku, lapho ubuthongo obunzima busehlela abantu, ekuwozeleni embhedeni;
16 ɔtumi kasa gu wɔn asom na ɔde kɔkɔbɔ yi wɔn hu,
abesesembula indlebe yabantu, aphawule ukuqondiswa kwabo;
17 sɛ ɔbɛdane onipa afiri nneyɛɛ bɔne ho na watwe no afiri ahantan ho,
ukuze aphambule umuntu ekwenzenikwakhe, afihle ukuzigqaja emuntwini,
18 sɛ ɔmma ne ɔkra nnkɔ amena mu na ɔnhwere ne nkwa wɔ akofena ano.
anqande umphefumulo wakhe egodini, lempilo yakhe ekwedluleni ngenkemba.
19 Onyankopɔn tumi de yea twe onipa aso ɛberɛ a ɔda mpa so na ne nnompe mu yea nnyae da,
Njalo ujeziswa ngobuhlungu embhedeni wakhe, langokuqaqamba kwamathambo akhe okungapheliyo,
20 kɔsi sɛ ne kɔn nnɔ aduane na ne ɔkra nso po aduane a ɛyɛ akɔnnɔ pa ara;
ize impilo yakhe inengwe yisinkwa, lomphefumulo wakhe yikudla okuloyisekayo.
21 ɔfɔn yɛ basaa, na ne nnompe a anka ɛho akata no ho da hɔ.
Inyama yakhe iyaphela, ingabonakali, lamathambo akhe abekade engabonakali avele.
22 Ne ɔkra bɛn damena, na ne nkwa bɛn owuo abɔfoɔ.
Lomphefumulo wakhe useduze legodi, lempilo yakhe kubabulali.
23 “Nanso sɛ abɔfoɔ apem no mu baako wɔ nʼafa sɛ ɔdimafoɔ a ɔbɛkyerɛ no deɛ ɛyɛ ma no a,
Uba kulesithunywa kanye laye, umlamuli, oyedwa phakathi kwenkulungwane, ukutshela umuntu ukuqonda kwakhe,
24 ɔbɛhunu no mmɔbɔ na waka sɛ, ‘Monnyaa no na wankɔ damena mu; na manya mpatadeɛ ama no,’
uzakuba lomusa kuye athi: Mkhulule ekwehleleni egodini, sengithole inhlawulo.
25 afei ne wedeɛ bɛyɛ foforɔ sɛ abɔfra deɛ, na asi ne dada mu sɛ mmeranteberɛ mu deɛ.
Inyama yakhe izakuba ntsha okwedlula ubutsha; abuyele ensukwini zobutsha bakhe.
26 Sɛ ɔbɔ Onyankopɔn mpaeɛ a, ɔbɛnya adom afiri ne hɔ, ɔbɛhunu Onyankopɔn anim na ɔde ahosɛpɛ ateam na Onyankopɔn agye no bio sɛ ɔteneneeni.
Akhuleke kuNkulunkulu, ozakuba lesisa kuye, abone ubuso bakhe ngentokozo; ngoba uzabuyisela emuntwini ukulunga kwakhe.
27 Afei ɔbɛba nnipa mu abɛka sɛ, ‘Meyɛɛ bɔne na mekyeaa deɛ ɛtene, nanso wantwe mʼaso sɛdeɛ ɛfata me.
Ukhangela ebantwini athi: Ngonile, ngahlanekela okulungileyo, kodwa kakungisizanga.
28 Ɔgyee me ɔkra na wamma no ankɔ damena mu, enti mɛtena ase na madi hann no mu dɛ.’
Uhlengile umphefumulo wami ekwedluleni egodini, lempilo yami izabona ukukhanya.
29 “Onyankopɔn yɛ yeinom nyinaa ma onipa, mprɛnu ne ne mprɛnsa so,
Khangelani, lezizinto uNkulunkulu uyazenza ngomuntu kabili kumbe kathathu,
30 sɛdeɛ onipa kra renkɔ damena mu, na nkwa hann no ahyerɛn ne so.
ukuze abuyise umphefumulo wakhe egodini, ukuze akhanyiswe ngokukhanya kwabaphilayo.
31 “Yɛ aso, Hiob, na tie me; yɛ dinn na menkasa.
Zwana, Jobe, ungilalele, uthule, njalo mina ngikhulume.
32 Na sɛ wowɔ biribi ka a, bua me; kasa, na mepɛ sɛ wɔbu wo bem.
Uba kulamazwi, ungiphendule; khuluma, ngoba ngifisa ukutshengisa ukuthi ulungile.
33 Sɛ ɛnte saa nso a, ɛnneɛ tie me. Yɛ dinn na mɛkyerɛ wo nyansa.”
Uba kungenjalo, wena ngilalela; thula, njalo ngizakufundisa inhlakanipho.
