< Hiob 26 >
Then Job answered and said,
2 “Woaboa deɛ ɔnni tumi! Woagye basa a ɛnni ahoɔden!
“How you have helped one who has no power! How you have saved the arm that has no strength!
3 Woatu deɛ ɔnnim nyansa fo! Na woada nhunumu pa ara adi!
How you have advised one who has no wisdom and announced to him sound knowledge!
4 Hwan na ɔboaa wo ma wokaa saa nsɛm yi? Hwan honhom na ɛkasa faa wo mu?
With whose help have you spoken these words? Whose spirit was it that came out from you?
5 “Awufoɔ wɔ ahoyera kɛseɛ mu, wɔn a wɔwɔ nsuo ase ne deɛ ɛte mu nyinaa.
The dead are made to tremble, those who are beneath the waters and all who dwell in them.
6 Asamando da adagya Onyankopɔn anim; Ɔsɛeɛ nso nni nkatasoɔ. (Sheol )
Sheol is naked before God; destruction itself has no covering against him. (Sheol )
7 Ɔtrɛ atifi fam ewiem wɔ deɛ 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 Ɔkyekyere nsuo hyɛ ne omununkum mu, nanso nsuo no mu duru ntumi mpae no.
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, but the clouds are not torn under them.
9 Ɔtrɛ ne omununkum mu de kata ɔsrane ani.
He covers the surface of the moon and spreads his clouds on it.
10 Ɔhyɛ agyiraeɛ wɔ nsuo so de to hyeɛ wɔ hann ne esum ntam.
He has engraved a circular boundary on the surface of the waters as the line between 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 calmed the sea with his power; by his understanding he shattered Rahab.
13 Ɔde nʼahomeɛ maa ewiem teeɛ; na ne nsa wɔɔ ɔtweaseɛ a ɔrewea.
By his breath he made the skies clear; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
14 Yeinom yɛ ne nnwuma mfeafeaho; ɔka asomusɛm brɛoo kyerɛ yɛn! Na hwan na ɔbɛtumi ate ne tumi mmobɔmu 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?”
