Hiob 26
1 Na Hiob kasaa bio se,
Then Job answered, and said:
2 “Woaboa nea onni tumi! Woagye basa a enni ahoɔden!
Whose helper art thou? is it of him that is weak? and dost thou hold up the arm of him that has no strength?
3 Woatu nea onnim nyansa fo! Na woada nhumu pa ara adi!
To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence.
4 Hena na ɔboaa wo ma wokaa saa nsɛm yi? Hena honhom na ɛkasa faa wo mu?
Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life?
5 “Awufo wɔ ahoyeraw kɛse mu, wɔn a wɔwɔ nsu ase ne nea ɛte mu nyinaa.
Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them.
Hell is naked before him, and there is no covering for destruction. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ɔtrɛw wim atifi fam kata nea ɛda mpan so; na ɔde asase sensɛn ohunu so.
He stretched out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8 Ɔbɔ nsu boa hyɛ ne omununkum mu, nanso nsu no mu duru ntumi mpae no.
He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together.
9 Ɔtrɛw ne omununkum mu de kata ɔsram ani.
He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it.
10 Ɔhyɛ agyirae wɔ nsu so de to ɔhye wɔ hann ne sum ntam.
He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end.
11 Ɔsoro nnyinaso wosow, na nʼanimka ma wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn.
The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.
12 Ɔde ne tumi wosow po ne nyansa mu, otwitwaa Rahab mu asinasin.
By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one.
13 Ɔde ne home maa wim tewee; na ne nsa wɔɔ ɔwɔ a ɔrewea.
His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent.
14 Eyinom yɛ ne nnwuma kakraa bi; ne tumi kakraa bi kɛkɛ! Na hena na obetumi ate ne tumi mmubomu no ase?”
Lo, these things are said in part of his ways: and seeing we have heard scarce a little drop of his word, who shall be able to behold the thunder of his greatness?
