Hiob 26
1 Na Hiob kasaa bio se,
Then Job made answer and said,
2 “Woaboa nea onni tumi! Woagye basa a enni ahoɔden!
How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength!
3 Woatu nea onnim nyansa fo! Na woada nhumu pa ara adi!
How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!
4 Hena na ɔboaa wo ma wokaa saa nsɛm yi? Hena honhom na ɛkasa faa wo mu?
To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?
5 “Awufo wɔ ahoyeraw kɛse mu, wɔn a wɔwɔ nsu ase ne nea ɛte mu nyinaa.
The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.
The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ɔtrɛw wim atifi fam kata nea ɛda mpan so; na ɔde asase sensɛn ohunu so.
By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing.
8 Ɔbɔ nsu boa hyɛ ne omununkum mu, nanso nsu no mu duru ntumi mpae no.
By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.
9 Ɔtrɛw ne omununkum mu de kata ɔsram ani.
By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.
10 Ɔhyɛ agyirae wɔ nsu so de to ɔhye wɔ hann ne sum ntam.
By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.
11 Ɔsoro nnyinaso wosow, na nʼanimka ma wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn.
The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.
12 Ɔde ne tumi wosow po ne nyansa mu, otwitwaa Rahab mu asinasin.
By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.
13 Ɔde ne home maa wim tewee; na ne nsa wɔɔ ɔwɔ a ɔrewea.
By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.
14 Eyinom yɛ ne nnwuma kakraa bi; ne tumi kakraa bi kɛkɛ! Na hena na obetumi ate ne tumi mmubomu no ase?”
See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.
