Hiob 26
1 Na Hiob kasaa bio sɛ,
But Job answered and said,
2 “Woaboa deɛ ɔnni tumi! Woagye basa a ɛnni ahoɔden!
How hast thou helped [him that is] without power? [how] savest thou the arm [that hath] no strength?
3 Woatu deɛ ɔnnim nyansa fo! Na woada nhunumu pa ara adi!
How hast thou counseled [him that hath] no wisdom? and [how] hast thou abundantly declared the thing as it is?
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 from thee?
5 “Awufoɔ wɔ ahoyera kɛseɛ mu, wɔn a wɔwɔ nsuo ase ne deɛ ɛte mu nyinaa.
Dead [things] are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
Hell [is] naked before him, and destruction 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 the empty place, [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 holdeth back 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 encompassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
11 Ɔsoro nnyinasoɔ woso, na nʼanimka ma wɔn ho dwiri wɔn.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12 Ɔde ne tumi wɔsoo ɛpo ne nyansa mu, ɔtwitwaa ɛpobɔpɔn mu asinasini.
He divideth the sea by his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13 Ɔde nʼahomeɛ maa ewiem teeɛ; na ne nsa wɔɔ ɔtweaseɛ a ɔrewea.
By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked 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] parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
