Hiob 26
1 Hiob ɖo eŋu nɛ be,
Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,
2 “Miekpe ɖe ame beli la ŋu ŋutɔ! Miekpe ɖe ame gblɔe la ƒe abɔ ŋu ŋutɔ!
Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
3 Aɖaŋu kae nye esi nèna ame si si nunya mele o! Eye sidzedze kae nye gã si nèɖe fia!
Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.
4 Ame kae kpe ɖe ŋuwò be nègblɔ nya siawo? Eye ame ka ƒe gbɔgbɔe ƒo nu to dziwò?
To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
5 “Ame kukuwo le vevesese gã aɖe me, nenema kee nye ame siwo le tɔ gɔme kple ame siwo le tɔ me.
The dead things are formed vnder the waters, and neere vnto them.
The graue is naked before him, and there is no couering for destruction. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ekeke dzigbeme ƒe lilikpowo ɖe teƒe siwo naneke mele o eye wòna anyigba le yame, naneke melée ɖe asi o.
He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.
8 Eŋlɔ tsiwo ɖe lilikpowo me, gake woƒe kpekpe mena lilikpoawo gbã o.
He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.
9 Etsɔ nu tsyɔ ɣleti si sɔ tegblẽe la ƒe ŋkume eye wòkeke eƒe lilikpowo ɖe edzi.
He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.
10 Eɖe liƒo na dzite ɖe tsiwo dzi eye wòde mama kekeli kple viviti dome.
He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.
11 Ne ele mo kam na nuwɔwɔwo la, dziƒosɔtiwo ʋuʋuna eye wodzona nyanyanya.
The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.
12 Ena atsiaƒu dze agbo to eƒe ŋusẽ dzi eye wòfli Rahab kakɛkakɛ to eƒe nya dzi.
The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.
13 Ena dziŋgɔli me kɔ to eƒe ŋɔtimegbɔgbɔ dzi eye eƒe asi ŋɔ da vɔ̃ɖi si ɖiɖi va yina.
His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14 Esiawoe nye eƒe dɔwɔwɔwo ƒe sue aɖe ko eye aleke dalĩ si wodo le eŋuti miese la le bɔlɔe ale! Eya ta ame kae ate ŋu ase eƒe ŋusẽ ƒe gbeɖeɖe gɔme?”
Loe, these are part of his wayes: but how litle a portion heare we of him? and who can vnderstand his fearefull power?
