Hiob 27
1 Hiob toaa nʼasɛm so sɛ,
Also Joob addide, takynge his parable, and seide,
2 “Sɛ Onyankopɔn te ase yi, ɔno a wammu me atɛntenenee, Otumfoɔ a wama madi me kra mu awerɛhoɔ;
God lyueth, that hath take awey my doom, and Almyyti God, that hath brouyt my soule to bitternesse.
3 mmerɛ dodoɔ a nkwa wɔ me mu, na Onyankopɔn homeɛ wɔ me mu yi,
For as long as breeth is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nose thirlis,
4 mʼano renka amumuyɛsɛm, na me tɛkrɛma rentwa nkontompo.
my lippis schulen not speke wickidnesse, nether my tunge schal thenke a leesyng.
5 Merennye nto mu da sɛ deɛ woka no yɛ nokorɛ; merenka me mudie nhyɛ, kɔsi sɛ mɛwuo.
Fer be it fro me, that Y deme you iust; til Y faile, Y schal not go awei fro myn innocence.
6 Mɛkura me tenenee mu. Merennyaa mu; sɛ mete ase yi, me tiboa remmu me fɔ.
Y schal not forsake my iustifiyng, which Y bigan to holde; for myn herte repreueth me not in al my lijf.
7 “Ma mʼatamfoɔ nyɛ sɛ amumuyɛfoɔ, na wɔn a wɔkyiri me nyɛ sɛ atorofoɔ.
As my wickid enemy doth; myn aduersarie is as wickid.
8 Anidasoɔ bɛn na deɛ ɔnni nyamesu no wɔ wɔ ne wuo akyi, ɛberɛ a Onyankopɔn agye ne nkwa afiri ne nsam?
For what is the hope of an ypocrite, if he rauyschith gredili, and God delyuerith not his soule?
9 Onyankopɔn tie ne sufrɛ ɛberɛ a amanehunu aba ne so anaa?
Whether God schal here the cry of hym, whanne angwisch schal come on hym?
10 Nʼani bɛgye wɔ Otumfoɔ mu? Ɔbɛsu afrɛ Onyankopɔn ɛberɛ biara anaa?
ether whether he may delite in Almyyti God, and inwardli clepe God in al tyme?
11 “Mɛma mo Onyankopɔn tumi ho nkyerɛkyerɛ; meremfa Otumfoɔ no akwan nhinta.
Y schal teche you bi the hond of God, what thingis Almyyti God hath; and Y schal not hide.
12 Mo ankasa moahunu yeinom nyinaa. Afei nsɛnhunu yi ase ne sɛn?
Lo! alle ye knowen, and what speken ye veyn thingis with out cause?
13 “Yei ne deɛ Onyankopɔn ahyɛ ato hɔ ama omumuyɛfoɔ, agyapadeɛ a otirimuɔdenfoɔ nya firi Otumfoɔ nkyɛn:
This is the part of a wickid man anentis God, and the eritage of violent men, ether rauenours, whiche thei schulen take of Almyyti God.
14 Sɛ ɔwɔ mma dodoɔ sɛn ara, wɔn hyɛberɛ ne akofena; na nʼasefoɔ rennidi mmee da.
If hise children ben multiplied, thei schulen be slayn in swerd; and hise sones sones schulen not be fillid with breed.
15 Ɔyaredɔm bɛsie wɔn a wɔbɛka wɔ nʼakyi, na wɔn akunafoɔ rensu wɔn.
Thei, that ben residue of hym, schulen be biried in perischyng; and the widewis of hym schulen not wepe.
16 Ɛwom sɛ ɔhɔre dwetɛ te sɛ mfuturo na ɔboa ntoma ano sɛ dɔteɛ deɛ,
If he gaderith togidere siluer as erthe, and makith redi clothis as cley;
17 nanso deɛ ɔpɛ gu hɔ no, ateneneefoɔ na wɔbɛfira na pɛpɛfoɔ no nso akyekyɛ dwetɛ no.
sotheli he made redi, but a iust man schal be clothid in tho, and an innocent man schal departe the siluer.
18 Efie a ɔsi no te sɛ ananse afafa, ɛte sɛ pata bi a ɔwɛmfoɔ abɔ.
As a mouyte he hath bildid his hous, and as a kepere he made a schadewyng place.
19 Ɔda hɔ te sɛ ɔdefoɔ, nanso ɔrenna saa bio; ɔbɛte nʼani no na ne nyinaa atu ayera.
A riche man, whanne he schal die, schal bere no thing with hym; he schal opene hise iyen, and he schal fynde no thing.
20 Ahunahuna ba ne so sɛ nsuyire; ahum hwim no kɔ anadwo.
Pouert as water schal take hym; and tempeste schal oppresse hym in the nyyt.
21 Apueeɛ mframa soa no kɔ, na ɔnni hɔ bio; ɛtwe no firi ne teberɛ.
Brennynge wynd schal take hym, and schal do awei; and as a whirlewynd it schal rauysche hym fro his place.
22 Ɛbɔ no a ahummɔborɔ nni mu ɛberɛ a ɔredwane afiri ne tumi ase.
He schal sende out turmentis on hym, and schal not spare; he fleynge schal `fle fro his hond.
23 Ɔde fɛ bɔ ne nsam na ɔpamoo no firi ne teberɛ.”
He schal streyne hise hondis on him, and he schal hisse on hym, and schal biholde his place.
