< Job 37 >
1 Also, at this my heart trembleth, And it moveth from its place.
“Yei ma mʼakoma bɔ paripari na ɛbɔ denden pa ara.
2 Hearken diligently to the trembling of His voice, Yea, the sound from His mouth goeth forth.
Tie! Tie ne nne mmobom, ne hooyɛ a ɛfiri nʼanom reba.
3 Under the whole heavens He directeth it, And its light [is] over the skirts of the earth.
Ɔgyaa nʼanyinam mu wɔ ɔsoro ase nyinaa na ɔma ɛkɔduru asase ano.
4 After it roar doth a voice — He thundereth with the voice of His excellency, And He doth not hold them back, When His voice is heard.
Ɛno akyi na ne mmobom no ba; ɔde nne kɛseɛ bobom. Sɛ ɔkasa a, biribiara nsianka no.
5 God thundereth with His voice wonderfully, Doing great things and we know not.
Onyankopɔn nne bobom ma no yɛ nwanwa; ɔyɛ nneɛma akɛseɛ a ɛboro yɛn adwene so.
6 For to snow He saith, 'Be [on] the earth.' And the small rain and great rain of His power.
Ɔka kyerɛ sukyerɛmma sɛ, ‘Tɔ gu asase so,’ ne osutɔ nso sɛ, ‘Yɛ osutɔ kɛseɛ.’
7 Into the hand of every man he sealeth, For the knowledge by all men of His work.
Sɛdeɛ nnipa a wabɔ wɔn nyinaa bɛhunu nʼadwuma enti, ɔma obiara gyae nʼadwuma.
8 And enter doth the beast into covert, And in its habitations it doth continue.
Wiram mmoa kɔtetɛ; wɔkɔhyehyɛ wɔn abɔn mu.
9 From the inner chamber cometh a hurricane, And from scatterings winds — cold,
Ahum tu firi ne pia mu, na awɔ nso firi mframa a ɛrebɔ mu.
10 From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of waters is straitened,
Onyankopɔn ahome de nsukyeneeɛ ba, na nsuo hahanaa no kyene.
11 Yea, by filling He doth press out a cloud, Scatter a cloud doth His light.
Ɔde fɔnwuni hyɛ omununkum ma; na ɔtwa nʼanyinam fa mu.
12 And it is turning itself round by His counsels, For their doing all He commandeth them, On the face of the habitable earth.
Ɔhyɛ ma wɔkyinkyini fa asase so nyinaa so hyia yɛ deɛ ɔkyerɛ sɛ wɔnyɛ biara.
13 Whether for a rod, or for His land, Or for kindness — He doth cause it to come.
Ɔde omununkum ba de bɛtwe nnipa aso, anaasɛ ɔma ɛtɔ gu asase so de kyerɛ nʼadɔeɛ.
14 Hear this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God.
“Tie yei, Hiob; gyae na dwene Onyankopɔn anwanwadeɛ ho.
15 Dost thou know when God doth place them, And caused to shine the light of His cloud?
Wonim sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn danedane omununkum, na ɔma anyinam tete firi mu?
16 Dost thou know the balancings of a cloud? The wonders of the Perfect in knowledge?
Wonim sɛdeɛ omununkum sensɛn ewiem, deɛ ɔyɛ nyansaboakwa no anwanwadeɛ?
17 How thy garments [are] warm, In the quieting of the earth from the south?
Mo a mote fifire wɔ mo ntadeɛ mu ɛberɛ a anafoɔ mframa ma asase no yɛ dinn no,
18 Thou hast made an expanse with Him For the clouds — strong as a hard mirror!
wobɛtumi aboa no ama watrɛ ewiem, a ɛyɛ dene sɛ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ ahwehwɛ?
19 Let us know what we say to Him, We set not in array because of darkness.
“Kyerɛ yɛn deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ yɛka kyerɛ no; yɛrentumi nka yɛn asɛm, ɛsiane sɛ yɛnnim enti.
20 Is it declared to Him that I speak? If a man hath spoken, surely he is 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 And now, they have not seen the light, Bright it [is] in the clouds, And the wind hath passed by and cleanseth them.
Obiara rentumi nhwɛ owia, sɛdeɛ ɛhyerɛn wɔ ewiem ɛberɛ a mframa abɔ ama ewiem ateɛ.
22 From the golden north it cometh, Beside God [is] fearful honour.
Ɔfiri atifi fam ba wɔ animuonyam sononko mu; Onyankopɔn ba wɔ surokronkron tumi mu.
23 The Mighty! we have not found Him out, High in power and judgment, He doth not answer! And abundant in righteousness,
Yɛnhunu Otumfoɔ deɛ, nanso ne tumi yɛ kɛseɛ; nʼatɛntenenee ne teneneeyɛ kɛseɛ akyi mpo ɔnyɛ nhyɛsoɔ.
24 Therefore do men fear Him, He seeth not any of the wise of heart.
Ɛno enti nnipa de anidie ma no, na ɔmmu akoma mu anyansafoɔ biara.”
