Jɔbɔ 4:1-21
4 Ko Elifazɛ+ ose Temana akakadimola ate:
2 “Naka onto ɔmɔtshi nyanga dia ntɛkɛta la yɛ, onde wɛ ayoshisha solo dia lotutsha?
Nɛ dia akoka ntona ntɛkɛta?
3 Lo mɛtɛ, wɛ akangolaka anto efula,Ndo wɛ akakeketshaka anya wambɔkɔmɔ.
4 Ɛtɛkɛta ayɛ wakonyiyaka onto tshɛ latakana,Ndo wɛ akakeketshaka wanɛ waki la adwe wayɛkayɛka.
5 Koko wonya ɔnɛ dui diakɔ diambokokomɛ, ko wɛ ambokoma ewo;*Diɔ diambokonda, ko wɛ ambokanana.
6 Onde wɔma wɔsɔhanyemi la dilɛmiɛlɔ wokayɛ Nzambi hawokosha eshikikelo?
Onde mboka k’olowanyi+ ayɛ hakosha elongamelo?
7 Lam’alangayɛ, ohokanyiya yema: Onto akɔna laha la onongo lakalanyema lushi lɔmɔtshi?
Etena kakɔna kakashile akanga wa losembwe oshiki?
8 Dimi lakɛnyi dia wanɛ watokambaka ekambɔ ka* kɛnɛ kele kɔlɔNdo wanɛ watonɛka ofukutanu wayona paka woho akɔ.
9 Oma lo hiɛlɛlɛ yaki Nzambi mbatowolanyemaka,Ndo oma lo ekamwelo ka nkɛlɛ kande mbatowokomɛka.
10 Ntambwɛ katodikitaka, ndo ɔsɔngɔ wa ntambwɛ watohangɔka,Koko oyadi kaanga wanyu wa ntambwɛ ya wolo* watongɔka.
11 Ntambwɛ katovɔka nɛ dia tɔ bu la nyama ka ndɛ,Ndo ana wa ntambwɛ wambohandjɔnɛ.
12 Ko dui diakakome le mi lo woshɛshɛ,Ndo toyi diami diakoke engunungunu adiɔ.
13 Lo tokanyi tatshindja wɔɔngɔ etena ka waɛnɛlɔ wa l’otsho,Etena katondamaka anto la djɔ ya baku,
14 Dimi lakasake lokomba l’efula,Lɔ lakalodia weka ami tshɛ la wɔma.
15 Nyuma kɛmɔtshi kakete la ntondo kami;Wɛɔsa wa lo demba diami wakanɔnɔ.
16 Ko tɔ kakatshikala wemema,Koko dimi konembetɛ ɛnamelo katɔ.
Efanelo kɛmɔtshi kaki la ntondo ka washo ami;Ki kakayala, ndo oma laasɔ, dimi lakoke dui dimɔtshi diata ɔnɛ:
17 ‘Onde onto okovɔ koka ndeka Nzambi losembwe?
Onde onto koka monga pudipudi ko ndeka Osadi ande?’
18 Eenda, nde bu la mbetawɔ le ekambi ande,Ndo nde mindaka andjelo* ande la munga.
19 Kete hoke wanɛ wadjasɛ lo mvudu ya nkɛtɛ,Wanɛ wele etshina kawɔ kekɔ lo ditshu,+Wanɛ waminɔma esadi oko lombudi!
20 Vɔ wekɔ lo minɔma tshɛ lo tshɛ oma ko pindju polo dikɔlɔ;Vɔ wambolanyema lo pondjo, ko ndooko lawadja yimba.
21 Shi vɔ wekɔ oko luudu la dipɛma lambokelekɔma ɛkɔdi?
Vɔ wambovɔ aha la lomba.
