< Hiob 26 >
And Job answers and says:
2 “Woaboa deɛ ɔnni tumi! Woagye basa a ɛnni ahoɔden!
“How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
3 Woatu deɛ ɔnnim nyansa fo! Na woada nhunumu pa ara adi!
How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.
4 Hwan na ɔboaa wo ma wokaa saa nsɛm yi? Hwan honhom na ɛkasa faa wo mu?
With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
5 “Awufoɔ wɔ ahoyera kɛseɛ mu, wɔn a wɔwɔ nsuo ase ne deɛ ɛte mu nyinaa.
The Rephaim are formed, Also their inhabitants beneath the waters.
6 Asamando da adagya Onyankopɔn anim; Ɔsɛeɛ nso nni nkatasoɔ. (Sheol )
Sheol [is] naked before Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol )
7 Ɔtrɛ atifi fam ewiem wɔ deɛ ɛda mpan so; na ɔde asase sensɛn ohunu so.
Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,
8 Ɔkyekyere nsuo hyɛ ne omununkum mu, nanso nsuo no mu duru ntumi mpae no.
Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
9 Ɔtrɛ ne omununkum mu de kata ɔsrane ani.
Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.
10 Ɔhyɛ agyiraeɛ wɔ nsuo so de to hyeɛ wɔ hann ne esum ntam.
He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.
11 Ɔsoro nnyinasoɔ woso, na nʼanimka ma wɔn ho dwiri wɔn.
Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
12 Ɔde ne tumi wɔsoo ɛpo ne nyansa mu, ɔtwitwaa ɛpobɔpɔn mu asinasini.
By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.
13 Ɔde nʼahomeɛ maa ewiem teeɛ; na ne nsa wɔɔ ɔtweaseɛ a ɔrewea.
He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
14 Yeinom yɛ ne nnwuma mfeafeaho; ɔka asomusɛm brɛoo kyerɛ yɛn! Na hwan na ɔbɛtumi ate ne tumi mmobɔmu 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?”
