Hiob 26
1 Na Hiob kasaa bio se,
Then Job answered and said,
2 “Woaboa nea onni tumi! Woagye basa a enni ahoɔden!
“How you have helped one who has no power! How you have saved the arm that has no strength!
3 Woatu nea onnim nyansa fo! Na woada nhumu pa ara adi!
How you have advised one who has no wisdom and announced to him sound knowledge!
4 Hena na ɔboaa wo ma wokaa saa nsɛm yi? Hena honhom na ɛkasa faa wo mu?
With whose help have you spoken these words? Whose spirit was it that came out from you?
5 “Awufo wɔ ahoyeraw kɛse mu, wɔn a wɔwɔ nsu ase ne nea ɛte mu nyinaa.
The dead are made to tremble, those who are beneath the waters and all who dwell in them.
Sheol is naked before God; destruction itself has no covering against him. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ɔtrɛw wim atifi fam kata nea ɛda mpan so; na ɔde asase sensɛn ohunu so.
He stretches out the northern skies over the empty space, and he hangs the earth over nothing.
8 Ɔbɔ nsu boa hyɛ ne omununkum mu, nanso nsu no mu duru ntumi mpae no.
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, but the clouds are not torn under them.
9 Ɔtrɛw ne omununkum mu de kata ɔsram ani.
He covers the surface of the moon and spreads his clouds on it.
10 Ɔhyɛ agyirae wɔ nsu so de to ɔhye wɔ hann ne sum ntam.
He has engraved a circular boundary on the surface of the waters as the line between light and darkness.
11 Ɔsoro nnyinaso wosow, na nʼanimka ma wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 Ɔde ne tumi wosow po ne nyansa mu, otwitwaa Rahab mu asinasin.
He calmed the sea with his power; by his understanding he shattered Rahab.
13 Ɔde ne home maa wim tewee; na ne nsa wɔɔ ɔwɔ a ɔrewea.
By his breath he made the skies clear; his hand pierced 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?”
See, these are but the fringes of his ways; how small a whisper do we hear of him! Who can understand the thunder of his power?”
