Hiob 12:1-25
12 Ɛnna Hiob kae sɛ:
2 “Ampa, mo na munim;*Muwu a na nyansa asa!
3 Me nso mewɔ ntease.*
Monkyɛn me.
Hena na onnim saa nneɛma yi?
4 Me ho ayɛ serew ama me nnamfo,+Me a misu frɛ Onyankopɔn sɛ onnye me so no.+
Ɔtreneeni a ne ho nni asɛm no ho ayɛ serew.
5 Nea n’asom adwo no no de, ɔserew wɔn a wohu amane;N’adwene nyinaa ne sɛ, wɔn a wohinhim* no na wohu amane.
6 Akorɔmfo-werɛmfo ntamadan wɔ hɔ dwoodwoo,+Na wɔn a wɔhyɛ Onyankopɔn abufuw no wɔ ahobammɔ,+Wɔn a wokura wɔn nyame wɔ wɔn nsam no.
7 Wo de, mepa wo kyɛw, bisa mmoa, na wɔbɛkyerɛ wo;Bisa wim nnomaa, na wɔbɛka akyerɛ wo.
8 Anaasɛ dan w’ani hwɛ* asaase, na ɛbɛkyerɛ wo;Na ɛpo mu mpataa bɛka akyerɛ wo.
9 Wɔn mu hena na onnim sɛYehowa nsa na ayɛ eyi?
10 Ne nsam na ɔteasefo biara nkwa* wɔ,Na ne nsam na onipa biara* honhom* wɔ.+
11 Ɛnyɛ aso na ɛsɔ nsɛm hwɛSɛnea tɛkrɛma* ka aduan hwɛ no?+
12 Ɛnyɛ nkwakoraa mu na nyansa wɔ?+Na ɛnyɛ onyinkyɛ mu na ntease wɔ?
13 Ɔno na nyansa ne kɛseyɛ wɔ no;+Ɔno na afotu ne ntease yɛ ne dea.+
14 Sɛ odwiriw biribi gu a, obiara rentumi nhyehyɛ;+Nea wato mu no, onipa biara rentumi mmue.
15 Sɛ ɔma osu gyae tɔ a, biribiara hyew;*+Ogyaa osu mu a, ebu fa asaase so.+
16 Ɔno na ahoɔden ne nyansa wɔ no;+Ɔno na nea ɔrefom kwan ne nea ɔma nkurɔfo fom kwan nyinaa yɛ ne dea;
17 Ɔma afotufo de wɔn nan sisi fam nantew,*Na ɔma atemmufo dan nkwaseafo.+
18 Ɔsansan nea ahemfo de kyekyere nkurɔfo no,+Na ɔde abɔso* kyekyere ahemfo no asen.
19 Ɔma asɔfo de wɔn nan sisi fam nantew,+Na otu atumfo a wɔn ase atim gu;+
20 Ɔma afotufo anokwafo nsɛm ka wɔn anom,Na ogye nkwakoraa* nyansa;
21 Ogu atitiriw anim ase,+Na ɔma atumfo tumi brɛ ase;*
22 Nneɛma a asie wɔ sum mu no, oyi pue,+Na ɔma hann tɔ esum kabii so;
23 Ɔma aman yɛ akɛse, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔbɛsɛe wɔn;Ɔma aman trɛw, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a obetu wɔn afi wɔn asaase so akɔ.
24 Ogye aman mpanyimfo ntease* fi wɔn nsam,Na asaase a ɛda mpan a enni anammɔnkwan na ɔma wokyinkyin so.+
25 Wɔde wɔn ti pempem sum mu,+ baabi a hann nni;Ɔma wokyinkyin te sɛ mmarima a wɔabow nsã.+
