Hiob 26
1 Na Hiob kasaa bio se,
But Job answered and said,
2 “Woaboa nea onni tumi! Woagye basa a enni ahoɔden!
To whom do you attach yourself, or whom are you going to assist? is it not he that [has] much strength, and [he] who has a strong arm?
3 Woatu nea onnim nyansa fo! Na woada nhumu pa ara adi!
To whom have you given counsel? is it not to him who has all wisdom? whom will you follow? is it not one who has the greatest power?
4 Hena na ɔboaa wo ma wokaa saa nsɛm yi? Hena honhom na ɛkasa faa wo mu?
To whom have you uttered words? and whose breath is it that has come forth from you?
5 “Awufo wɔ ahoyeraw kɛse mu, wɔn a wɔwɔ nsu ase ne nea ɛte mu nyinaa.
Shall giants be born from under the water and the inhabitants thereof?
Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ɔtrɛw wim atifi fam kata nea ɛda mpan so; na ɔde asase sensɛn ohunu so.
He stretches out the north wind upon nothing, and he upon nothing hangs the earth;
8 Ɔbɔ nsu boa hyɛ ne omununkum mu, nanso nsu no mu duru ntumi mpae no.
binding water in his clouds, and the cloud is not tore under it.
9 Ɔtrɛw ne omununkum mu de kata ɔsram ani.
He keeps back the face of his throne, stretching out his cloud upon it.
10 Ɔhyɛ agyirae wɔ nsu so de to ɔhye wɔ hann ne sum ntam.
He has encompassed the face of the water by an appointed ordinance, until the end of light and darkness.
11 Ɔsoro nnyinaso wosow, na nʼanimka ma wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn.
The pillars of heaven are prostrate and astonished at his rebuke.
12 Ɔde ne tumi wosow po ne nyansa mu, otwitwaa Rahab mu asinasin.
He has calmed the sea with [his] might, and by [his] wisdom the whale has been overthrown.
13 Ɔde ne home maa wim tewee; na ne nsa wɔɔ ɔwɔ a ɔrewea.
And the barriers of heaven fear him, and by a command he has slain the apostate dragon.
14 Eyinom yɛ ne nnwuma kakraa bi; ne tumi kakraa bi kɛkɛ! Na hena na obetumi ate ne tumi mmubomu no ase?”
Behold, these are parts of his way; and we will listen to him at the least intimation of his word: but the strength of his thunder who knows, when he shall employ [it]?
