Hiob 26
1 Na Hiob kasaa bio sɛ,
Then Job answered and said,
2 “Woaboa deɛ ɔnni tumi! Woagye basa a ɛnni ahoɔden!
How hast thou helped him that is without power! how hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!
3 Woatu deɛ ɔnnim nyansa fo! Na woada nhunumu pa ara adi!
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4 Hwan na ɔboaa wo ma wokaa saa nsɛm yi? Hwan honhom na ɛkasa faa wo mu?
To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came forth from thee?
5 “Awufoɔ wɔ ahoyera kɛseɛ mu, wɔn a wɔwɔ nsuo ase ne deɛ ɛte mu nyinaa.
They that are deceased tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.
Sheol is naked before him, and Abaddon hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ɔtrɛ atifi fam ewiem wɔ deɛ ɛda mpan so; na ɔde asase sensɛn ohunu so.
He stretcheth out the north over 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 thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 Ɔtrɛ ne omununkum mu de kata ɔsrane ani.
He closeth in the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 Ɔhyɛ agyiraeɛ wɔ nsuo so de to hyeɛ wɔ hann ne esum ntam.
He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
11 Ɔsoro nnyinasoɔ woso, na nʼanimka ma wɔn ho dwiri wɔn.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 Ɔde ne tumi wɔsoo ɛpo ne nyansa mu, ɔtwitwaa ɛpobɔpɔn mu asinasini.
He stirreth up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
13 Ɔde nʼahomeɛ maa ewiem teeɛ; na ne nsa wɔɔ ɔtweaseɛ a ɔrewea.
By his spirit the heavens are garnished; his hand hath pierced the swift serpent.
14 Yeinom yɛ ne nnwuma mfeafeaho; ɔka asomusɛm brɛoo kyerɛ yɛn! Na hwan na ɔbɛtumi ate ne tumi mmobɔmu no ase.”
Lo, these are but the outskirts of his ways: and how small a whisper do we hear of him! but the thunder of his power who can understand?
