Hiob 22:1-30
22 Ɛnna Elifas a ofi Teman no buae sɛ:
2 “Ɔbarima so wɔ mfaso ma Onyankopɔn?+Anaa nea ɔwɔ nhumu so wɔ mfaso ma no?
3 Sɛ woyɛ ɔtreneeni a, ɛma ade nyinaa so Tumfoɔ no ani gye anaa,+Na mfaso bi wɔ so ma no sɛ wo kwan yɛ pɛ?+
4 Wo nyamesuro nti ɔbɛka w’anim?Anaa ɔne wo bedi asɛm?+
5 Wo bɔne mmoroo so dedaw?+Na worennyae wo mfomso no anaa?
6 Wugye awowa fi wo nuanom nkyɛn kwa,+Na wɔn a wɔda adagyaw mpo, wopa wɔn ho ntama.
7 Womma nea wabrɛ nsu nnom,Na nea ɔkɔm de no nso, womma no aduan.+
8 Ɔbarima hoɔdenfo de, asase no yɛ ne dea,+Na nea wɔyɛ animhwɛ di ma no na ɔtena so.
9 Woma akunafo de nsapan kɔ,Na nnyanka nso, woma wɔn nsam gow.+
10 Ɛno nti na nnomaa mfiri atwa wo ho ahyia,+Na akomatusɛm a ɛba mpofirim hunahuna wo no;
11 Ɛno nti na esum ato wo na wunhu ade,Na nsu pii abu afa wo so no.
12 Onyankopɔn nkorɔn sɛ ɔsoro anaa?+Na afei hwɛ nsoromma nyinaa,+ sɛnea ɛwɔ sorosoro.
13 Nanso woka sɛ: ‘Dɛn koraa na Onyankopɔn nim?Obetumi afi sum kabii mu abu atɛn anaa?
14 Omununkum akata no so, na onhu ade,Ɔsoro kontonkron so na ɔnantew.’
15 So wobɛfa tete kwan so,Ɔkwan a amumɔyɛfo faa so no?
16 Nnipa a wohwim wɔn kɔ ansa na wɔn bere aso,+Wɔn a wohwie wɔn fapem+ gu sɛ asuten;
17 Wɔn na wɔka kyerɛ nokware Nyankopɔn sɛ: ‘Fi yɛn nkyɛn kɔ!+Dɛn na ade nyinaa so Tumfoɔ no betumi ayɛ yɛn?’
18 Nanso ɔno na ɔde nneɛma pa ahyɛ wɔn afie ma.+Me ne nnebɔneyɛfo agyinatu ntam kwan ware.+
19 Treneefo behu na wɔadi ahurusi,+Na nea ne ho nni asɛm bedi wɔn ho fɛw sɛ:
20 ‘Ampa ara wɔapopa yɛn atamfo afi hɔ;Na wɔn biribiara a aka nso, ogya bɛhyew.’
21 Fa wo ho bɔ no ɛ, na asomdwoe mmra mo ntam;Ɛno bɛma woanya nneɛma pa.
22 Bɔ mmɔden gye mmara a efi n’anom,Na fa ne nsɛm hyɛ wo koma mu.+
23 Sɛ wosan ba ade nyinaa so Tumfoɔ no nkyɛn a,+ ebesi wo yiye;Sɛ wubeyi amumɔyɛ afi wo ntamadan mu akɔ akyirikyiri,
24 Na wode sika amapa ahyɛ dɔte mu,Na wode Ofir sika+ ahyɛ nsu ase abotan mu a,
25 Anka ade nyinaa so Tumfoɔ no nso bɛyɛ sika amapa,Ne dwetɛ amapa ama wo.+
26 Ɛno na wubenya ade nyinaa so Tumfoɔ no mu abotɔyam,+Na Onyankopɔn na wobɛma w’ani so akyerɛ no.+
27 Anka wobɛsrɛ no, na obetie wo,+Na wo bɔhyɛ ade nso, wubetua.+
28 Wobɛbɔ wo tirim, na ɛbɛba mu ama wo,Na w’akwan nso, hann bɛhyerɛn wɔ so.+
29 Nanso sɛ wokasa ahantan so a, ɔbɛbrɛ wo ase;+Na ɔhobrɛasefo de, obegye no nkwa.+
30 Obegye nea ne ho nni asɛm,+Na wo nsa ho a ɛtew nti, wobegye wo.”+
