Job 26
1 Then Job responded by saying:
Na Hiob kasaa bio se,
2 Whose assistant are you? Is he weak-minded? And do you sustain the arm of him that is not strong?
“Woaboa nea onni tumi! Woagye basa a enni ahoɔden!
3 To whom have you given advice? Perhaps it is to him that has no wisdom or prudence that you have revealed your many ideas.
Woatu nea onnim nyansa fo! Na woada nhumu pa ara adi!
4 Who is it that you wanted to teach? Was it not him that created the breath of life?
Hena na ɔboaa wo ma wokaa saa nsɛm yi? Hena honhom na ɛkasa faa wo mu?
5 Behold, giant things groan under the waters, and they dwell with them.
“Awufo wɔ ahoyeraw kɛse mu, wɔn a wɔwɔ nsu ase ne nea ɛte mu nyinaa.
Asaman da adagyaw Onyankopɔn anim; Ɔsɛe nso nni nkataso. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretched out the North over emptiness, and he suspended the land over nothing.
Ɔtrɛw wim atifi fam kata nea ɛda mpan so; na ɔde asase sensɛn ohunu so.
8 He secures the waters in his clouds, so that they do not burst forth downward all at once.
Ɔbɔ nsu boa hyɛ ne omununkum mu, nanso nsu no mu duru ntumi mpae no.
9 He holds back the face of his throne, and he stretches his cloud over it.
Ɔtrɛw ne omununkum mu de kata ɔsram ani.
10 He has set limits around the waters, until light and darkness shall reach their limit.
Ɔhyɛ agyirae wɔ nsu so de to ɔhye wɔ hann ne sum ntam.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are frightened at his nod.
Ɔsoro nnyinaso wosow, na nʼanimka ma wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn.
12 By his strength, the seas suddenly gather together, and his foresight has struck the arrogant.
Ɔde ne tumi wosow po ne nyansa mu, otwitwaa Rahab mu asinasin.
13 His spirit has adorned the heavens, and his birthing hand has brought forth the winding serpent.
Ɔde ne home maa wim tewee; na ne nsa wɔɔ ɔwɔ a ɔrewea.
14 Behold, these things have been said about his ways in part, and, since we barely have heard a small drop of his word, who will be able to gaze upon the thunder of his greatness?
Eyinom yɛ ne nnwuma kakraa bi; ne tumi kakraa bi kɛkɛ! Na hena na obetumi ate ne tumi mmubomu no ase?”
