< Job 26 >

1 And Job answereth and saith: —
Na Hiob kasaa bio se,
2 What — thou hast helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
“Woaboa nea onni tumi! Woagye basa a enni ahoɔden!
3 What — thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise plans in abundance made known.
Woatu nea onnim nyansa fo! Na woada nhumu pa ara adi!
4 With whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came forth from thee?
Hena na ɔboaa wo ma wokaa saa nsɛm yi? Hena honhom na ɛkasa faa wo mu?
5 The Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also their inhabitants.
“Awufo wɔ ahoyeraw kɛse mu, wɔn a wɔwɔ nsu ase ne nea ɛte mu nyinaa.
6 Naked [is] Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol h7585)
Asaman da adagyaw Onyankopɔn anim; Ɔsɛe nso nni nkataso. (Sheol h7585)
7 Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth upon nothing,
Ɔtrɛw wim atifi fam kata nea ɛda mpan so; na ɔde asase sensɛn ohunu so.
8 Binding 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 Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading over it His cloud.
Ɔtrɛw ne omununkum mu de kata ɔsram ani.
10 A limit He hath placed on the waters, Unto the boundary of light with darkness.
Ɔhyɛ agyirae wɔ nsu so de to ɔhye wɔ hann ne sum ntam.
11 Pillars of the heavens do tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
Ɔsoro nnyinaso wosow, na nʼanimka ma wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn.
12 By His power He hath quieted the sea, And by His understanding smitten the proud.
Ɔde ne tumi wosow po ne nyansa mu, otwitwaa Rahab mu asinasin.
13 By His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His hand the fleeing serpent.
Ɔde ne home maa wim tewee; na ne nsa wɔɔ ɔwɔ a ɔrewea.
14 Lo, these [are] the borders of His way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth understand?
Eyinom yɛ ne nnwuma kakraa bi; ne tumi kakraa bi kɛkɛ! Na hena na obetumi ate ne tumi mmubomu no ase?”
