< Job 26 >
1 Then Job answered and said:
Na Hiob kasaa bio se,
2 How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!
“Woaboa nea onni tumi! Woagye basa a enni ahoɔden!
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
Woatu nea onnim nyansa fo! Na woada nhumu pa ara adi!
4 With whose help hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?
Hena na ɔboaa wo ma wokaa saa nsɛm yi? Hena honhom na ɛkasa faa wo mu?
5 The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.
“Awufo wɔ ahoyeraw kɛse mu, wɔn a wɔwɔ nsu ase ne nea ɛte mu nyinaa.
6 The nether-world is naked before Him, and Destruction hath no covering. (Sheol )
Asaman da adagyaw Onyankopɔn anim; Ɔsɛe nso nni nkataso. (Sheol )
7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth over nothing.
Ɔtrɛw wim atifi fam kata nea ɛda mpan so; na ɔde asase sensɛn ohunu so.
8 He bindeth up the waters in His thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
Ɔbɔ nsu boa hyɛ ne omununkum mu, nanso nsu no mu duru ntumi mpae no.
9 He closeth in the face of His throne, and spreadeth His cloud upon it.
Ɔtrɛw ne omununkum mu de kata ɔsram ani.
10 He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
Ɔhyɛ agyirae wɔ nsu so de to ɔhye wɔ hann ne sum ntam.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at His rebuke.
Ɔsoro nnyinaso wosow, na nʼanimka ma wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn.
12 He stirreth up the sea with His power, and by His understanding He smiteth through Rahab.
Ɔde ne tumi wosow po ne nyansa mu, otwitwaa Rahab mu asinasin.
13 By His breath the heavens are serene; His hand hath pierced the slant serpent.
Ɔde ne home maa wim tewee; na ne nsa wɔɔ ɔwɔ a ɔrewea.
14 Lo, these are but the outskirts of His ways; and how small a whisper is heard of Him! But the thunder of His mighty deeds who can understand?
Eyinom yɛ ne nnwuma kakraa bi; ne tumi kakraa bi kɛkɛ! Na hena na obetumi ate ne tumi mmubomu no ase?”
