Job 37
1 Aye, my heart trembleth at this also, and leapeth up out of its place:
“Yei ma mʼakoma bɔ paripari na ɛbɔ denden pa ara.
2 Hear attentively the roar of his voice, and the murmur going forth from his mouth.
Tie! Tie ne nne mmobom, ne hooyɛ a ɛfiri nʼanom reba.
3 He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
Ɔgyaa nʼanyinam mu wɔ ɔsoro ase nyinaa na ɔma ɛkɔduru asase ano.
4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency, and holdeth not back the flashes when his voice is heard.
Ɛno akyi na ne mmobom no ba; ɔde nne kɛseɛ bobom. Sɛ ɔkasa a, biribiara nsianka no.
5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice, doing great things which we do not comprehend.
Onyankopɔn nne bobom ma no yɛ nwanwa; ɔyɛ nneɛma akɛseɛ a ɛboro yɛn adwene so.
6 For he saith to the snow, Fall on the earth! and to the pouring rain, even the pouring rains of his might.
Ɔka kyerɛ sukyerɛmma sɛ, ‘Tɔ gu asase so,’ ne osutɔ nso sɛ, ‘Yɛ osutɔ kɛseɛ.’
7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
Sɛdeɛ nnipa a wabɔ wɔn nyinaa bɛhunu nʼadwuma enti, ɔma obiara gyae nʼadwuma.
8 And the wild beast goeth into its lair, and they remain in their dens.
Wiram mmoa kɔtetɛ; wɔkɔhyehyɛ wɔn abɔn mu.
9 From the chamber [of the south] cometh the whirlwind; and cold from the winds of the north.
Ahum tu firi ne pia mu, na awɔ nso firi mframa a ɛrebɔ mu.
10 By the breath of God ice is given; and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
Onyankopɔn ahome de nsukyeneeɛ ba, na nsuo hahanaa no kyene.
11 Also with plentiful moisture he loadeth the thick clouds, his light dispels the cloud;
Ɔde fɔnwuni hyɛ omununkum ma; na ɔtwa nʼanyinam fa mu.
12 And they are turned every way by his guidance, that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the circuit of the earth,
Ɔhyɛ ma wɔkyinkyini fa asase so nyinaa so hyia yɛ deɛ ɔkyerɛ sɛ wɔnyɛ biara.
13 Whether he cause it to come as a rod, or for his land, or in mercy.
Ɔde omununkum ba de bɛtwe nnipa aso, anaasɛ ɔma ɛtɔ gu asase so de kyerɛ nʼadɔeɛ.
14 Hearken unto this, Job; stand still and discern the wondrous works of God.
“Tie yei, Hiob; gyae na dwene Onyankopɔn anwanwadeɛ ho.
15 Dost thou know how God hath disposed them, and how he causeth the lightning of his cloud to flash?
Wonim sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn danedane omununkum, na ɔma anyinam tete firi mu?
16 Dost thou know about the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him that is perfect in knowledge?
Wonim sɛdeɛ omununkum sensɛn ewiem, deɛ ɔyɛ nyansaboakwa no anwanwadeɛ?
17 How thy garments become warm when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?
Mo a mote fifire wɔ mo ntadeɛ mu ɛberɛ a anafoɔ mframa ma asase no yɛ dinn no,
18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, firm, like a molten mirror?
wobɛtumi aboa no ama watrɛ ewiem, a ɛyɛ dene sɛ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ ahwehwɛ?
19 Teach us what we shall say unto him! We cannot order [our words] by reason of darkness.
“Kyerɛ yɛn deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ yɛka kyerɛ no; yɛrentumi nka yɛn asɛm, ɛsiane sɛ yɛnnim enti.
20 Shall it be told him if I would speak? if a man [so] say, surely he shall be swallowed up.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ Onyankopɔn nkaeɛ sɛ mepɛ sɛ me ne no kasa anaa? Onipa bi wɔ hɔ a ɔbɛpɛ sɛ wɔbɛmene no anaa?
21 And now [men] see not the light as it gleameth, it is [hidden] in the skies. But the wind passeth by and cleareth them.
Obiara rentumi nhwɛ owia, sɛdeɛ ɛhyerɛn wɔ ewiem ɛberɛ a mframa abɔ ama ewiem ateɛ.
22 From the north cometh gold; with God is terrible majesty.
Ɔfiri atifi fam ba wɔ animuonyam sononko mu; Onyankopɔn ba wɔ surokronkron tumi mu.
23 The Almighty, we cannot find him out: excellent in power, and in judgment, and in abundance of justice, he doth not afflict.
Yɛnhunu Otumfoɔ deɛ, nanso ne tumi yɛ kɛseɛ; nʼatɛntenenee ne teneneeyɛ kɛseɛ akyi mpo ɔnyɛ nhyɛsoɔ.
24 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
Ɛno enti nnipa de anidie ma no, na ɔmmu akoma mu anyansafoɔ biara.”
