Job 26
1 But Job answered and said,
Na Hiob kasaa bio sɛ,
2 How have you helped him that is without power? how save you the arm that has no strength?
“Woaboa deɛ ɔnni tumi! Woagye basa a ɛnni ahoɔden!
3 How have you counselled him that has no wisdom? and how have you plentifully declared the thing as it is?
Woatu deɛ ɔnnim nyansa fo! Na woada nhunumu pa ara adi!
4 To whom have you uttered words? and whose spirit came from you?
Hwan na ɔboaa wo ma wokaa saa nsɛm yi? Hwan honhom na ɛkasa faa wo mu?
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
“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 out the north over the empty place, and hangs the earth upon nothing.
Ɔtrɛ atifi fam ewiem wɔ deɛ ɛda mpan so; na ɔde asase sensɛn ohunu so.
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
Ɔkyekyere nsuo hyɛ ne omununkum mu, nanso nsuo no mu duru ntumi mpae no.
9 He holds back the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud upon it.
Ɔtrɛ ne omununkum mu de kata ɔsrane ani.
10 He has compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
Ɔhyɛ agyiraeɛ wɔ nsuo so de to hyeɛ wɔ hann ne esum ntam.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
Ɔsoro nnyinasoɔ woso, na nʼanimka ma wɔn ho dwiri wɔn.
12 He divides the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through the proud.
Ɔde ne tumi wɔsoo ɛpo ne nyansa mu, ɔtwitwaa ɛpobɔpɔn mu asinasini.
13 By his spirit he has garnished the heavens; his hand has formed the crooked serpent.
Ɔde nʼahomeɛ maa ewiem teeɛ; na ne nsa wɔɔ ɔtweaseɛ a ɔrewea.
14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
Yeinom yɛ ne nnwuma mfeafeaho; ɔka asomusɛm brɛoo kyerɛ yɛn! Na hwan na ɔbɛtumi ate ne tumi mmobɔmu no ase.”
