2 Anka kyɛfa bɛn na menya afi Onyankopɔn hɔ afi soro?+Na agyapade bɛn na anka menya afi ade nyinaa so Tumfoɔ no hɔ afi sorosoro?
3 Ɛnyɛ amanehunu na ɛwɔ hɔ ma ɔbɔnefo?+Na ɛnyɛ asɛm na ɛto amumɔyɛfo?
4 Ɛnyɛ ɔno na ohu m’akwan nyinaa,+Na ɔkan m’anammɔn nyinaa?
5 Sɛ me ne mmarima nkontompofo anantew,+Na me nan atutu mmirika kɔ nnaadaasɛm+ mu a,
6 Ɔno na ɔbɛkari me wɔ nsenia pa mu,+Na Onyankopɔn na obehu sɛ me koma di mu.+
7 Sɛ me nan aman afi ɔkwan no so,+Na me koma adi m’aniwa akyi,+Anaasɛ nkekae bi wɔ me nsam+ a,
8 Ɛnde ma mingu aba, na obi nni,+Na ma wontutu m’asefo ase.
9 Sɛ me koma adaadaa me ɔbea ho,+Na matɛw+ me yɔnko kwan ano a,
10 Ɛnde ma me yere nyam mma ɔbarima foforo,Na mmarima foforo mmu nkotodwe wɔ no so.+
11 Anka ɛno bɛyɛ ahohwibra,Na anka ɛbɛyɛ mfomso a ɛbɛkɔ asɛnnifo anim.+
12 Ɛyɛ ogya a anka ɛbɛsɛe ade,+Na anka ɛbɛhyew me nnɔbae nyinaa ase.
13 Sɛ manni m’akoa asɛm amma no,Na mantie m’afenaa, bere a wɔne me wɔ asɛm a,
14 Ɛnde sɛ Onyankopɔn sɔre a, dɛn na mɛyɛ?Na sɛ obisa me a, asɛm bɛn na menya aka akyerɛ no?+
15 Ɛnyɛ Nea ɔyɛɛ me ɔyafunu mu no ara na ɔyɛɛ no?+Ɛnyɛ Obiako no ara na osiesiee yɛn nyinaa wɔ awotwaa mu?
16 Sɛ mede nea abrɛfo pɛ kamee wɔn,+Na memaa okunafo anidaso yerae+ a,
17 Sɛ me nkutoo na midii m’aduan,Na mamma agyanka bi anni+ a,
18 (Dabida, mmom mifi me mmeranteberem na mahwɛ agyanka sɛ ne papa,Na mifi me maame yam na mayɛ okunafo kwankyerɛfo);
19 Sɛ mihuu obi a atade a onni nti ɔrewu,+Anaa ohiani a onni nea ɔde kata ne ho;
20 Sɛ n’asen anhyira me,+Na wamfa me nguammaa ho nhwi+ anhyɛ ne ho hyew;
21 Na sɛ meteɛɛ me nsa wɔ agyanka so,+Bere a m’ani tua sɛ ohia me mmoa wɔ kurow pon ano+ a,
22 Ɛnde ma me mmati nhuan mfi ne dompe so,Na m’abasa mmubu mfi ne dompe so.
23 Efisɛ me de, na misuro amanehunu a efi Onyankopɔn hɔ,Na mantumi annyina n’anuonyam anim.+
24 Sɛ mede sika yɛɛ m’anidaso,Anaa meka kyerɛɛ sika sɛ, ‘Wone m’ahotoso!’+
25 Sɛ midii ahurusi m’agyapade dodow ho+Ne nneɛma pii a me nsa kae+ nti;
26 Sɛ mihuu owia hann sɛ ɛhyerɛn,Anaa ɔsram fɛfɛ sɛ ɛnam ne kwan mu,+
27 Na me koma daadaa me wɔ kokoam,+Na m’ano few me nsa ho a,
28 Anka ɛno nso bɛyɛ mfomso a ɛbɛkɔ asɛnnifo anim,Efisɛ anka mapo nokware Nyankopɔn a ɔwɔ soro no.
29 Sɛ midii ahurusi sɛ wɔayi nea ɔtan me afi hɔ,+Anaa m’ani gyei sɛ asɛmmɔne ato no a—
30 Mmom, mamfa m’ano anyɛ bɔne,Na mannome ne kra.+
31 Sɛ me ntamadan mu nnipa anka sɛ,‘Hena na obenya obi a onnii n’aduan mmee?’+ a—
32 Ɔhɔho biara anna abɔnten anadwo;+Mibuee m’apon maa akwantufo.
33 Sɛ mekataa me mmarato so sɛ ɔdesani,+Na mede me mfomso siee m’atade kotoku mu a—
34 Anka mihu nnipakuw a, mɛbɔ piriw,Na anka mmusua aniwude behunahuna meMa mamua m’ano, na meremfi adi.
35 O sɛ anka obi retie me ɛ,+Sɛ anka ade nyinaa so Tumfoɔ no rehwɛ me nsa ano agyirae ho ayi m’ano ɛ!+Anaasɛ anka nea me ne no anya asɛm no rekyerɛw krataa ɛ!
36 Ampa ara, anka mede bɛto me mmati;Anka mede bɛkyekyere me ho sɛ ahemmotiri.
37 Anka mɛka m’anammɔn dodow akyerɛ no,+Na mayɛ sɛ ɔkannifo akɔ n’anim.
38 Sɛ m’ankasa m’asase su guu me so,Na ɛne n’akofi nyinaa sui;
39 Sɛ midii so aba a mantua sika biara,+Na memaa ɛso adwumayɛfo akra sii apini+ a,
40 Ɛnde ma nsɔensɔe nsi awi ananmu,+Na ma nnɛnkyɛnse nsi atoko ananmu.”Hiob nsɛm no aba awiei.
