Hiob 34
1 Afei Elihu kaa sɛ,
And Helyu pronounside, and spak also these thingis,
2 “Mo anyansafoɔ, montie me nsɛm; mo animdefoɔ monyɛ aso mma me.
Wise men, here ye my wordis, and lerned men, herkne ye me; for the eere preueth wordis,
3 Ɛfiri sɛ aso sɔ nsɛm hwɛ sɛdeɛ tɛkrɛma ka aduane hwɛ no.
and the throte demeth metis bi taast.
4 Momma yɛnsese nhunu deɛ ɛyɛ ma yɛn. Momma yɛn nyinaa mmɔ mu nsua deɛ ɛyɛ.
Chese we doom to vs; and se we among vs, what is the betere.
5 “Hiob kaa sɛ, ‘Me ho nni asɛm, nanso Onyankopɔn abu me ntɛnkyea.
For Job seide, Y am iust, and God hath distried my doom.
6 Ɛwom sɛ mʼasɛm da ɛkwan mu, nanso, wɔbu me ɔtorofoɔ; ɛwom sɛ menyɛɛ bɔne biara, nanso ne bɛmma no ama me apirakuro a ɛnnwu da.’
For whi lesynge is in demynge me, and myn arowe is violent with out ony synne.
7 Onipa bɛn na ɔte sɛ Hiob a ɔnom animtiabuo sɛ nsuo?
Who is a man, as Joob is, that drynkith scornyng as watir?
8 Ɔne amumuyɛfoɔ nante; na ɔne atirimuɔdenfoɔ nso bɔ.
that goith with men worchynge wickidnesse, and goith with vnfeithful men?
9 Ɛfiri sɛ ɔka sɛ, ‘Sɛ onipa bɔ mmɔden sɛ ɔbɛsɔ Onyankopɔn ani a ɔnnya ho mfasoɔ biara.’
For he seide, A man schal not plese God, yhe, thouy he renneth with God.
10 “Enti mo mmarima a mowɔ nteaseɛ montie me. Ɛmpare Onyankopɔn sɛ ɔbɛyɛ bɔne, sɛ Otumfoɔ no bɛyɛ mfomsoɔ.
Therfor ye men hertid, `that is, vndurstonde, here ye me; vnpite, `ethir cruelte, be fer fro God, and wickidnesse fro Almyyti God.
11 Nnipa nneyɛeɛ so na ɔhwɛ tua wɔn ka; deɛ ɛfata ne nneyɛeɛ na ɔma ɛba ne so.
For he schal yelde the werk of man to hym; and bi the weies of ech man he schal restore to hym.
12 Ɛmfata sɛ wɔde mfomsoɔ susu Onyankopɔn, na ɛmfata sɛ wɔde ntɛnkyea susu Otumfoɔ.
For verili God schal not condempne with out cause; nether Almyyti God schal distrie doom.
13 Hwan na ɔde no sii asase so? Hwan na ɔde ewiase nyinaa hyɛɛ ne nsa?
What othere man hath he ordeyned on the lond? ether whom hath he set on the world, which he made?
14 Sɛ ɛyɛɛ ne pɛ na ɔyii ne Honhom ne nʼahome a,
If God dressith his herte to hym, he schal drawe to hym silf his spirit and blast.
15 anka adasamma nyinaa bɛbɔ mu ayera, na onipa bɛsane akɔ mfuturo mu.
Ech fleisch schal faile togidere; `and a man schal turne ayen in to aisch.
16 “Sɛ mowɔ nhunumu a, montie yei; montie deɛ meka.
Therfor if thou hast vndurstondyng, here thou that that is seid, and herkne the vois of my speche.
17 Obi a ɔkyiri atɛntenenee bɛtumi adi nnipa so? Mobɛtumi abu Ɔteneneeni kɛseɛ no fɔ anaa?
Whether he that loueth not doom may be maad hool? and hou condempnest thou so myche him, that is iust?
18 Ɛnyɛ Ɔno na ɔka kyerɛ ahemfo sɛ, ‘Mo ho nni mfasoɔ,’ na ɔka kyerɛɛ atitire sɛ, ‘Moyɛ atirimuɔdenfoɔ’?
Which seith to the kyng, Thou art apostata; which clepith the duykis vnpitouse, `ethir vnfeithful.
19 Ɔnhwɛ mmapɔmma anim na ɔnyiyi adefoɔ ne ahiafoɔ mu, ɛfiri sɛ wɔn nyinaa yɛ ne nsa ano adwuma.
`Which takith not the persoones of princes, nether knew a tyraunt, whanne he stryuede ayens a pore man; for alle men ben the werk of hise hondis.
20 Wɔwuwu mmerɛ tiawa bi mu, wɔ anadwo dasuo mu; nnipa no ho woso na wɔsene kɔ; ahoɔdenfoɔ totɔ a ɛmfiri onipa.
Thei schulen die sudeynli, and at mydnyyt puplis schulen be troblid, `ethir schulen be bowid, as othere bookis han; and schulen passe, and schulen take `awei `a violent man with out hond.
21 “Nʼani hwɛ nnipa akwan; na ɔhunu wɔn anammɔntuo biara.
For the iyen of God ben on the weies of men, and biholdith alle goyngis of hem.
22 Baabiara nni hɔ a aduru sum, esum kabii, a amumuyɛfoɔ bɛtumi ahinta.
No derknessis ben, and no schadewe of deeth is, that thei, that worchen wickidnesse, be hid there;
23 Ɛho nhia Onyankopɔn sɛ ɔbɛhwehwɛ nnipa mu bio, a enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔba nʼanim bɛgye atemmuo.
for it is `no more in the power of man, that he come to God in to doom.
24 Ɔbobɔ aberempɔn gu a ɔnyɛ nhwehwɛmu biara, na ɔde afoforɔ sisi wɔn ananmu.
God schal al to-breke many men and vnnoumbrable; and schal make othere men to stonde for hem.
25 Ɛfiri sɛ ɔhunu wɔn nneyɛeɛ, ɔtu wɔn gu anadwo na wɔdwerɛ wɔn.
For he knowith the werkis of hem; therfor he schal brynge yn niyt, and thei schulen be al to-brokun.
26 Ɔtua wɔn amumuyɛsɛm so ka wɔ baabi a obiara bɛtumi ahunu wɔn,
He smoot hem, as vnpitouse men, in the place of seinge men.
27 ɛfiri sɛ, wɔmane firii nʼakyi kɔeɛ na wɔampɛ nʼakwan biara anhwɛ.
Whiche yeden awei fro hym bi `castyng afore, and nolden vndurstonde alle hise weies.
28 Wɔmaa ahiafoɔ sufrɛ duruu nʼanim na ɛma ɔtee mmɔborɔni su.
That thei schulden make the cry of a nedi man to come to hym, and that he schulde here the vois of pore men.
29 Nanso sɛ ɔyɛ komm a, hwan na ɔbɛtumi abu no fɔ? Sɛ ɔde nʼanim hinta nso a, hwan na ɔbɛhunu no? Nanso ɔdi onipa ne ɔman so pɛpɛɛpɛ,
For whanne he grauntith pees, who is that condempneth? Sithen he hidith his cheer, who is that seeth hym? And on folkis and on alle men `he hath power `to do siche thingis.
30 ɔmma onipa a ɔnnim Onyame nni ɔhene, sɛdeɛ wɔnnsum nnipa no mfidie.
Which makith `a man ypocrite to regne, for the synnes of the puple.
31 “Adɛn enti na onipa nka nkyerɛ Onyankopɔn sɛ, ‘Mayɛ bɔne na merenyɛ bɔne bio.
Therfor for Y haue spoke to God, also Y schal not forbede thee.
32 Kyerɛ me na menhunu; na sɛ mayɛ bɔne a, merenyɛ saa bio.’
If Y erride, teche thou me; if Y spak wickidnesse, Y schal no more adde.
33 Ɛsɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn gyina deɛ wode wʼano aka so tua wo ka, wɔ ɛberɛ a woayɛ sɛ worennu wo ho anaa? Ɛsɛ sɛ wosi gyinaeɛ, ɛnyɛ me; enti ka deɛ wonim kyerɛ me.
Whether God axith that wickidnesse of thee, for it displeside thee? For thou hast bigunne to speke, and not Y; that if thou knowist ony thing betere, speke thou.
34 “Nnipa a wɔwɔ nteaseɛ pae mu ka, animdefoɔ a wɔtie me ka kyerɛ me sɛ,
Men vndurstondynge, speke to me; and a wise man, here me.
35 ‘Hiob nnkasa nimdeɛ kwan so; aba biara nni ne kasa mu.’
Forsothe Joob spak folili, and hise wordis sownen not techyng.
36 Ao, sɛ wɔsɔɔ Hiob hwɛeɛ kɔɔ akyiri a anka ɛyɛ, ɛfiri sɛ ɔyiyii nsɛm ano sɛ omumuyɛfoɔ!
My fadir, be Joob preuede `til to the ende; ceesse thou not fro the man of wickidnesse,
37 Ɔde atuateɛ ka ne bɔne ho; ɔde ahantan bɔ ne nsam gu yɛn so na ɔma ne nsɛm a ɔka tia Onyankopɔn no dɔɔso.”
`that addith blasfemye ouer hise synnes. Be he constreyned among vs in the meene tyme; and thanne bi hise wordis stire he God to the doom.
