Hiob 26
1 Na Hiob kasaa bio se,
And Job answers and says:
2 “Woaboa nea onni tumi! Woagye basa a enni ahoɔden!
“How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
3 Woatu nea onnim nyansa fo! Na woada nhumu pa ara adi!
How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.
4 Hena na ɔboaa wo ma wokaa saa nsɛm yi? Hena honhom na ɛkasa faa wo mu?
With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
5 “Awufo wɔ ahoyeraw kɛse mu, wɔn a wɔwɔ nsu ase ne nea ɛte mu nyinaa.
The Rephaim are formed, Also their inhabitants beneath the waters.
Sheol [is] naked before Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ɔtrɛw wim atifi fam kata nea ɛda mpan so; na ɔde asase sensɛn ohunu so.
Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,
8 Ɔbɔ nsu boa hyɛ ne omununkum mu, nanso nsu no mu duru ntumi mpae no.
Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
9 Ɔtrɛw ne omununkum mu de kata ɔsram ani.
Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.
10 Ɔhyɛ agyirae wɔ nsu so de to ɔhye wɔ hann ne sum ntam.
He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.
11 Ɔsoro nnyinaso wosow, na nʼanimka ma wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn.
Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
12 Ɔde ne tumi wosow po ne nyansa mu, otwitwaa Rahab mu asinasin.
By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.
13 Ɔde ne home maa wim tewee; na ne nsa wɔɔ ɔwɔ a ɔrewea.
He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
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] the borders of His way, and how little a matter is heard of Him, and who understands the thunder of His might?”
