< Job 26 >
1 Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,
Na Hiob kasaa bio sɛ,
2 Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
“Woaboa deɛ ɔnni tumi! Woagye basa a ɛnni ahoɔden!
3 Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.
Woatu deɛ ɔnnim nyansa fo! Na woada nhunumu pa ara adi!
4 To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
Hwan na ɔboaa wo ma wokaa saa nsɛm yi? Hwan honhom na ɛkasa faa wo mu?
5 The dead things are formed vnder the waters, and neere vnto them.
“Awufoɔ wɔ ahoyera kɛseɛ mu, wɔn a wɔwɔ nsuo ase ne deɛ ɛte mu nyinaa.
6 The graue is naked before him, and there is no couering for destruction. (Sheol )
Asamando da adagya Onyankopɔn anim; Ɔsɛeɛ nso nni nkatasoɔ. (Sheol )
7 He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.
Ɔtrɛ atifi fam ewiem wɔ deɛ ɛda mpan so; na ɔde asase sensɛn ohunu so.
8 He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.
Ɔkyekyere nsuo hyɛ ne omununkum mu, nanso nsuo no mu duru ntumi mpae no.
9 He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.
Ɔtrɛ ne omununkum mu de kata ɔsrane ani.
10 He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.
Ɔhyɛ agyiraeɛ wɔ nsuo so de to hyeɛ wɔ hann ne esum ntam.
11 The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.
Ɔsoro nnyinasoɔ woso, na nʼanimka ma wɔn ho dwiri wɔn.
12 The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.
Ɔde ne tumi wɔsoo ɛpo ne nyansa mu, ɔtwitwaa ɛpobɔpɔn mu asinasini.
13 His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
Ɔde nʼahomeɛ maa ewiem teeɛ; na ne nsa wɔɔ ɔtweaseɛ a ɔrewea.
14 Loe, these are part of his wayes: but how litle a portion heare we of him? and who can vnderstand his fearefull power?
Yeinom yɛ ne nnwuma mfeafeaho; ɔka asomusɛm brɛoo kyerɛ yɛn! Na hwan na ɔbɛtumi ate ne tumi mmobɔmu no ase.”
