Hiob 26
1 Na Hiob kasaa bio sɛ,
Then Job answered, and said:
2 “Woaboa deɛ ɔnni tumi! Woagye basa a ɛnni 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 deɛ ɔnnim nyansa fo! Na woada nhunumu 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 Hwan na ɔboaa wo ma wokaa saa nsɛm yi? Hwan honhom na ɛkasa faa wo mu?
Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life?
5 “Awufoɔ wɔ ahoyera kɛseɛ mu, wɔn a wɔwɔ nsuo ase ne deɛ 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 Ɔtrɛ atifi fam ewiem wɔ deɛ 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 Ɔkyekyere nsuo hyɛ ne omununkum mu, nanso nsuo 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 Ɔtrɛ ne omununkum mu de kata ɔsrane ani.
He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it.
10 Ɔhyɛ agyiraeɛ wɔ nsuo so de to hyeɛ wɔ hann ne esum ntam.
He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end.
11 Ɔsoro nnyinasoɔ woso, na nʼanimka ma wɔn ho dwiri wɔn.
The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.
12 Ɔde ne tumi wɔsoo ɛpo ne nyansa mu, ɔtwitwaa ɛpobɔpɔn mu asinasini.
By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one.
13 Ɔde nʼahomeɛ maa ewiem teeɛ; na ne nsa wɔɔ ɔtweaseɛ a ɔrewea.
His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent.
14 Yeinom yɛ ne nnwuma mfeafeaho; ɔka asomusɛm brɛoo kyerɛ yɛn! Na hwan na ɔbɛtumi ate ne tumi mmobɔmu 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?
