Hiob 3:1-26
3 Ɛno akyi no, Hiob buee n’ano, na ɔdomee ne da.+
2 Nea Hiob kae ni:
3 “Ma ɛda a wɔwoo me no nyera,+Ɛne anadwo a obi kae sɛ, ‘Wɔanyinsɛn ɔbabarima’ no!
4 Saa da no, ma ɛnnan sum.Mma Onyankopɔn mmfi soro nnhwehwɛ akyi kwan,Mma adekyee hann nso nnhyerɛn wɔ so.
5 Ma esum ne esum kabii nnye mfa.Ma omununkum ntena so.Ma nea ɛma adekyee duru sum nhunahuna no.+
6 Saa anadwo no—ma esum kabii mfa;+Mma ennnya anigye wɔ afe nna no mu;Mma wɔnnkan mmfra asram dodow no.
7 Hwɛ! Saa anadwo no—ma ɛnyɛ obonin;Mma wɔnnto ahurusi dwom biara wom.+
8 Ma wɔn a wɔdome ɛda mmɔ no dua,Wɔn a wɔhwanyan ɔdɛnkyɛm*+ no.
9 Ma ahemadakye nsoromma nnuru sum;Ma ɛntwɛn hann nanso mma ɛmmma;Mma adekyee hann mmpue wɔ so.
10 Efisɛ antoto me maame yafunu apon mu,+Enti anyi ɔhaw amfi m’ani so.
11 Dɛn nti na manwu ɔyafunu mu?+Dɛn nti na mifi yafunu mu reba no, mannyaa mu?
12 Dɛn nti na nkotodwe behyiaa me,Na minyaa nufu+ numii?
13 Anka saa bere yi mada ma me ho adwo me;+Anka mada; anka meregye m’ahome;+
14 Me ne ahene ne asase so afotufo,+Wɔn a wɔkyekye amamfõ fa,+
15 Anaa me ne atitiriw a wɔwɔ sika,Wɔn a wɔde dwetɛ hyehyɛ wɔn afie mã;
16 Anaa te sɛ ɔba a wɔapɔn no ahintawee mu+ no, anka mamma,Te sɛ nkokoaa a wɔanhu hann da.+
17 Ɛhɔ na nnebɔneyɛfo haw nni bio,+Ɛhɔ na wɔn a wɔn ahoɔden asa home.+
18 Nneduafo nyinaa te hɔ dwoodwoo;Wɔnte nea opiapia wɔn kɔ adwuma+ no nne.
19 Ɛhɔ na nnipa akɛse ne nketewa nyinaa yɛ pɛ,+Na akoa ade ne ho afi ne wura nsam.
20 Dɛn nti na Onyankopɔn de hann ma ɔmanehunufo,Na ɔde nkwa ma wɔn a wɔn kra abotow?+
21 Dɛn nti na ebinom twɛn owu nanso ɛmma,+Bere a wɔbɔre hwehwɛ no kyɛn akorade a ahintaw?
22 Wɔn a wɔn ani gye boro so no,Wonya anigye kɛse efisɛ wonya ɔdamoa.
23 Dɛn nti na Onyankopɔn de hann ma ɔbarima a wɔde ne kwan ahintaw,+A Onyankopɔn aka no ahyem?+
24 M’aduan anim na migu ahome,+M’apinisi hwie sɛ nsu;+
25 Akomatusɛm a misuro no, ɛno na ɛba me so;Na nea ɛyɛ me hu na ɛto me.+
26 M’asom nnwoo me, na me ho ntɔɔ me,Minnyaa ɔhome, nanso ahoyeraw ba ara.”
