Job 37
1 Indeed, my heart trembles at this; it is moved out of its place.
“Yei ma mʼakoma bɔ paripari na ɛbɔ denden pa ara.
2 Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, the sound that goes out from his mouth.
Tie! Tie ne nne mmobom, ne hooyɛ a ɛfiri nʼanom reba.
3 He sends it out under the whole sky, and he sends out his lightning to the edges of the earth.
Ɔgyaa nʼanyinam mu wɔ ɔsoro ase nyinaa na ɔma ɛkɔduru asase ano.
4 A voice roars after it; he thunders with the voice of his majesty; he does not restrain the lightning bolts when his voice is heard.
Ɛno akyi na ne mmobom no ba; ɔde nne kɛseɛ bobom. Sɛ ɔkasa a, biribiara nsianka no.
5 God thunders marvelously with his voice; he does great things that we cannot comprehend.
Onyankopɔn nne bobom ma no yɛ nwanwa; ɔyɛ nneɛma akɛseɛ a ɛboro yɛn adwene so.
6 For he says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth'; likewise to the rain shower, 'Become a great shower of rain.'
Ɔka kyerɛ sukyerɛmma sɛ, ‘Tɔ gu asase so,’ ne osutɔ nso sɛ, ‘Yɛ osutɔ kɛseɛ.’
7 He stops the hand of every man from working, so that all people whom he has made may see his deeds.
Sɛdeɛ nnipa a wabɔ wɔn nyinaa bɛhunu nʼadwuma enti, ɔma obiara gyae nʼadwuma.
8 Then the beasts go into hiding and stay in their dens.
Wiram mmoa kɔtetɛ; wɔkɔhyehyɛ wɔn abɔn mu.
9 The storm comes from its chamber in the south and the cold from the scattering winds in 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; the expanse of the waters is frozen like metal.
Onyankopɔn ahome de nsukyeneeɛ ba, na nsuo hahanaa no kyene.
11 Indeed, he weighs down the thick cloud with moisture; he scatters his lightning through the clouds.
Ɔde fɔnwuni hyɛ omununkum ma; na ɔtwa nʼanyinam fa mu.
12 He swirls the clouds around by his guidance, so that they may do whatever he commands them above the surface of the whole world.
Ɔhyɛ ma wɔkyinkyini fa asase so nyinaa so hyia yɛ deɛ ɔkyerɛ sɛ wɔnyɛ biara.
13 He makes all of this happen; sometimes it happens for correction, sometimes for his land, and sometimes as acts of covenant faithfulness.
Ɔde omununkum ba de bɛtwe nnipa aso, anaasɛ ɔma ɛtɔ gu asase so de kyerɛ nʼadɔeɛ.
14 Listen to this, Job; stop and think about God's marvelous deeds.
“Tie yei, Hiob; gyae na dwene Onyankopɔn anwanwadeɛ ho.
15 Do you know how God establishes the clouds and makes the lightning bolts to flash in them?
Wonim sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn danedane omununkum, na ɔma anyinam tete firi mu?
16 Do you understand the floating of the clouds, the marvelous deeds of God, who is perfect in knowledge?
Wonim sɛdeɛ omununkum sensɛn ewiem, deɛ ɔyɛ nyansaboakwa no anwanwadeɛ?
17 Do you understand how your garments become hot when the land is still because the wind comes from the south?
Mo a mote fifire wɔ mo ntadeɛ mu ɛberɛ a anafoɔ mframa ma asase no yɛ dinn no,
18 Can you spread out the sky as he can— the sky, which is as strong as a mirror of cast metal?
wobɛtumi aboa no ama watrɛ ewiem, a ɛyɛ dene sɛ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ ahwehwɛ?
19 Teach us what we should say to him, for we cannot lay out our arguments in order because of the darkness of our minds.
“Kyerɛ yɛn deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ yɛka kyerɛ no; yɛrentumi nka yɛn asɛm, ɛsiane sɛ yɛnnim enti.
20 Should he be told that I wish to speak with him? Would a person wish to 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 Now, people cannot look at the sun when it is bright in the sky after the wind has passed through and has cleared it of its clouds.
Obiara rentumi nhwɛ owia, sɛdeɛ ɛhyerɛn wɔ ewiem ɛberɛ a mframa abɔ ama ewiem ateɛ.
22 Out of the north comes golden splendor— over God is fearsome majesty.
Ɔfiri atifi fam ba wɔ animuonyam sononko mu; Onyankopɔn ba wɔ surokronkron tumi mu.
23 As for the Almighty, we cannot find him! He is great in power; he does not oppress justice and abundant righteousness.
Yɛnhunu Otumfoɔ deɛ, nanso ne tumi yɛ kɛseɛ; nʼatɛntenenee ne teneneeyɛ kɛseɛ akyi mpo ɔnyɛ nhyɛsoɔ.
24 Therefore, people fear him. He does not pay any attention to those who are wise in their own minds.”
Ɛno enti nnipa de anidie ma no, na ɔmmu akoma mu anyansafoɔ biara.”
