Hiob 8:1-22
8 Ɛnna Bildad a ofi Suha+ no kae sɛ:
2 “Wobɛkeka nsɛm yi akosi da bɛn,+Bere a w’anom nsɛm nyɛ hwee sɛ mframa+ a ano yɛ den yi?
3 So Onyankopɔn bɛkyea atemmu,+Na ade nyinaa so Tumfoɔ bɛkyea atɛntrenee?+
4 Sɛ wo mma ayɛ no bɔne a,Wɔn atuatew so aba na wama wɔatwa.
5 Sɛ w’ankasa wobɛhwehwɛ Onyankopɔn,+Na woahwehwɛ ade nyinaa so Tumfoɔ anim dom a,
6 Sɛ woyɛ obi a ne ho tew na ɔteɛ+ a,Anka sesɛɛ wasɔre agyina ama wo,Na wasan ama woanya wo trenee tenabea.
7 Anka wo mfiase bɛyɛ ade ketewa de,Nanso w’awiei bɛyɛ kokuroo.+
8 Wo de, bisa awo ntoatoaso a abɛsen kɔ no,+Na pɛɛpɛɛ nea wɔn papanom hwehwɛ hui no mu.+
9 Yɛn de, nnɛra yi ara na yɛbae,+ na yennim hwee,Efisɛ yɛn nna wɔ asase yi so yɛ sunsuma.+
10 So ɛnyɛ wɔn na wɔbɛkyerɛkyerɛ wo, na wɔaka akyerɛ wo?Na wɔrenyiyi nsɛm mfi wɔn komam anaa?
11 Mmɛw+ betumi anyin yiye nea ɔwora nni?Demmire betumi ayɛ kɛse baabi a nsu nni?
12 Bere a ennya nguu nhwiren na wonnya ntwae no,Ɛwo gyaw sare a aka nyinaa.+
13 Saa na wɔn a wɔn werɛ fi Onyankopɔn no nyinaa akwan te,+Na ɔwaefo de, n’anidaso bɛyera;+
14 Wotwa n’ahotoso fi hɔ,Na n’awerɛhyem yɛ ananse ntontan.+
15 Obetweri ne dan, nanso ɛrennyina;Obeso mu, nanso ɛrenni gyina.
16 Nsu ayɛ no mã wɔ owia mu,Na ne mmaa atrɛtrɛw wɔ ne turo mu.+
17 Ne ntini wurawura abokuw mu,N’aniwa hu abo dan.
18 Sɛ wɔmene no fi ne tenabea+ a,Ɛbɛpo no, na aka akyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Minhuu wo da.’+
19 Hwɛ! Saa na ne kwan bɛsɛe;+Na mfutuma mu na afoforo befifi.
20 Hwɛ! Onyankopɔn rempo obiara a ne ho nni asɛm,Na adebɔneyɛfo nso, ɔrenso wɔn nsa;
21 Ɔde ɔserew bɛhyɛ w’anom ma,Na wama w’ano abɔ ose.
22 Aniwu na wɔde befura wɔn a wɔtan wo,+Na nnebɔneyɛfo ntamadan befi hɔ.”
