Hiob 37
1 “Eyi ma me koma bɔ kitirikitiri na ehuruw fi nʼatenae.
Yea, at this my heart trembles, and is moved out of its place.
2 Tie! Tie ne nne mmubomu, ne huuyɛ a efi nʼanom reba no.
Hear, O, hear the noise of his voice, and the sound that goes out of his mouth.
3 Ogyaa nʼanyinam mu wɔ ɔsoro ase nyinaa na ɔma ekodu asase ano.
He sends it forth under the whole heaven, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.
4 Ɛno akyi na ne mmubomu no ba; ɔde nne kɛse bobɔ mu. Sɛ ɔkasa a, biribiara nsianka no.
After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty, and he does not restrain the lightnings when his voice is heard.
5 Onyankopɔn nne bobɔ mu ma no yɛ nwonwa; ɔyɛ nneɛma akɛse a ɛboro yɛn adwene so.
God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things which we cannot comprehend.
6 Ɔka kyerɛ sukyerɛmma se, ‘Tɔ gu asase so,’ ne osu nso se, ‘Yɛ osutɔ kɛse.’
For he says to the snow, Fall thou on the earth, likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of his mighty rain.
7 Sɛnea nnipa a wabɔ wɔn nyinaa behu nʼadwuma nti, ɔma nnipa nyinaa gyae wɔn adwumayɛ.
He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he has made may know it.
8 Wuram mmoa kɔtetɛw; wɔkɔhyehyɛ wɔn abon mu.
Then the beasts go into coverts, and remain in their dens.
9 Ahum tu fi ne pia mu, na awɔw nso fi mframa a ɛrebɔ mu.
Out of the chamber of the south comes the storm, and cold out of the north.
10 Onyankopɔn home de sukyerɛmma ba, na nsu tamaa no kyen.
By the breath of God ice is given, and the breadth of the waters is narrowed.
11 Ɔde fuonwini hyɛ omununkum ma; na otwa nʼanyinam fa mu.
Yea, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning,
12 Ɔhyɛ ma wokyinkyin fa asase so nyinaa hyia yɛ nea ɔhyɛ sɛ wɔnyɛ biara.
and it is turned round about by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them upon the face of the habitable world.
13 Ɔde omununkum ba bɛtwe nnipa aso, anaasɛ ɔma ɛtɔ gu asase so de kyerɛ nʼadɔe.
He causes it to come, whether it be for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness.
14 “Tie eyi, Hiob; gyae na dwene Onyankopɔn anwonwade ho.
Hearken to this, O Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Wunim sɛnea Onyankopɔn si fa di omununkum so, na ɔma nʼanyinam twa?
Do thou know how God lays his charge upon them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
16 Wunim sɛnea omununkum si fa sensɛn wim, nea ɔwɔ nimdeɛ a so nni no anwonwade no?
Do thou know the balancing of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
17 Mo a mufi fifiri wɔ mo ntade mu bere a anafo mframa ma asase no yɛ dinn no,
How thy garments are warm when the earth is still because of the south wind?
18 wubetumi aboa no ama watrɛw wim, a ɛyɛ den sɛ kɔbere mfrafrae ahwehwɛ?
Can thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong as a molten mirror?
19 “Kyerɛ yɛn nea ɛsɛ sɛ yɛka kyerɛ no; yɛrentumi nka yɛn asɛm, efisɛ yennim.
Teach us what we shall say to him. We cannot set in array because of darkness.
20 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔka nea mepɛ sɛ meka kyerɛ no ana? Onipa bi wɔ hɔ a ɔbɛpɛ sɛ wɔbɛmene no ana?
Shall it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
21 Obiara rentumi nhwɛ owia, sɛnea ɛhyerɛn wɔ wim bere a mframa abɔ ama wim atew.
And now men do not see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes, and clears them.
22 Ofi atifi fam ba wɔ anuonyam sononko mu; Onyankopɔn ba wɔ ahenni nwonwaso mu.
Out of the north comes golden splendor. God has upon him awesome majesty.
23 Otumfo no korɔn wɔ yɛn so na wɔpagyaw no wɔ tumi mu; nʼatɛntrenee ne treneeyɛ kɛse akyi no mpo, ɔnyɛ nhyɛso.
O the Almighty, we cannot find him out. He is excellent in power. And in justice and abundant righteousness he will not afflict.
24 Ɛno nti nnipa de nidi ma no, efisɛ onnwen koma mu anyansafo nyinaa ho ana?”
Men therefore fear him. He does not regard any who are wise of heart.
