< Job 26 >

1 Then Job answered:
Na Hiob kasaa bio se,
2 “How you have helped the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble!
“Woaboa nea onni tumi! Woagye basa a enni ahoɔden!
3 How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight!
Woatu nea onnim nyansa fo! Na woada nhumu pa ara adi!
4 To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?
Hena na ɔboaa wo ma wokaa saa nsɛm yi? Hena honhom na ɛkasa faa wo mu?
5 The dead tremble— those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.
“Awufo wɔ ahoyeraw kɛse mu, wɔn a wɔwɔ nsu ase ne nea ɛte mu nyinaa.
6 Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
Asaman da adagyaw Onyankopɔn anim; Ɔsɛe nso nni nkataso. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing.
Ɔtrɛw wim atifi fam kata nea ɛda mpan so; na ɔde asase sensɛn ohunu so.
8 He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.
Ɔbɔ nsu boa hyɛ ne omununkum mu, nanso nsu no mu duru ntumi mpae no.
9 He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud.
Ɔtrɛw ne omununkum mu de kata ɔsram ani.
10 He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
Ɔhyɛ agyirae wɔ nsu so de to ɔhye wɔ hann ne sum ntam.
11 The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke.
Ɔsoro nnyinaso wosow, na nʼanimka ma wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn.
12 By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
Ɔde ne tumi wosow po ne nyansa mu, otwitwaa Rahab mu asinasin.
13 By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
Ɔde ne home maa wim tewee; na ne nsa wɔɔ ɔwɔ a ɔrewea.
14 Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”
Eyinom yɛ ne nnwuma kakraa bi; ne tumi kakraa bi kɛkɛ! Na hena na obetumi ate ne tumi mmubomu no ase?”
