Job 26
1 Job replied,
Na Hiob kasaa bio sɛ,
2 “How helpful you have been to this feeble man that I am. How supportive you have been to the weak.
“Woaboa deɛ ɔnni tumi! Woagye basa a ɛnni ahoɔden!
3 What good advice you have given to this ignorant man, demonstrating you have so much wisdom.
Woatu deɛ ɔnnim nyansa fo! Na woada nhunumu pa ara adi!
4 Who helped you speak these words? Who inspired you to say such things?
Hwan na ɔboaa wo ma wokaa saa nsɛm yi? Hwan honhom na ɛkasa faa wo mu?
5 The dead tremble, those beneath the waters.
“Awufoɔ wɔ ahoyera kɛseɛ mu, wɔn a wɔwɔ nsuo ase ne deɛ ɛte mu nyinaa.
Asamando da adagya Onyankopɔn anim; Ɔsɛeɛ nso nni nkatasoɔ. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches the northern sky over empty space; he hangs the world on nothing.
Ɔtrɛ atifi fam ewiem wɔ deɛ ɛda mpan so; na ɔde asase sensɛn ohunu so.
8 He gathers the rain in his storm clouds which do not break under the weight.
Ɔkyekyere nsuo hyɛ ne omununkum mu, nanso nsuo no mu duru ntumi mpae no.
9 He veils his throne; covering it with his clouds.
Ɔtrɛ ne omununkum mu de kata ɔsrane ani.
10 On the surface of the waters he set a boundary; he set a limit dividing light from darkness.
Ɔhyɛ agyiraeɛ wɔ nsuo so de to hyeɛ wɔ hann ne esum ntam.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble; they shake with fear at his rebuke.
Ɔsoro nnyinasoɔ woso, na nʼanimka ma wɔn ho dwiri wɔn.
12 He calmed the sea with his power; because he knew what to do he crushed Rahab.
Ɔde ne tumi wɔsoo ɛpo ne nyansa mu, ɔtwitwaa ɛpobɔpɔn mu asinasini.
13 The breath of his voice made the heavens beautiful; with his hand he pierced the gliding serpent.
Ɔde nʼahomeɛ maa ewiem teeɛ; na ne nsa wɔɔ ɔtweaseɛ a ɔrewea.
14 This is just a little of all he does—what we hear of him is hardly a whisper, so who can understand his thunderous power?”
Yeinom yɛ ne nnwuma mfeafeaho; ɔka asomusɛm brɛoo kyerɛ yɛn! Na hwan na ɔbɛtumi ate ne tumi mmobɔmu no ase.”
