< Hiob 26 >
Forsothe Joob answeride, and seide, Whos helpere art thou?
2 “Woaboa deɛ ɔnni tumi! Woagye basa a ɛnni ahoɔden!
whether `of the feble, and susteyneste the arm of hym, which is not strong?
3 Woatu deɛ ɔnnim nyansa fo! Na woada nhunumu pa ara adi!
To whom hast thou youe counsel? In hap to hym that hath not wisdom; and thou hast schewid ful myche prudence.
4 Hwan na ɔboaa wo ma wokaa saa nsɛm yi? Hwan honhom na ɛkasa faa wo mu?
Ether whom woldist thou teche? whether not hym, that made brething?
5 “Awufoɔ wɔ ahoyera kɛseɛ mu, wɔn a wɔwɔ nsuo ase ne deɛ ɛte mu nyinaa.
Lo! giauntis weilen vnder watris, and thei that dwellen with hem.
6 Asamando da adagya Onyankopɔn anim; Ɔsɛeɛ nso nni nkatasoɔ. (Sheol )
Helle is nakid bifor hym, and noon hilyng is to perdicioun. (Sheol )
7 Ɔtrɛ atifi fam ewiem wɔ deɛ ɛda mpan so; na ɔde asase sensɛn ohunu so.
Which God stretchith forth the north on voide thing, and hangith the erthe on nouyt.
8 Ɔkyekyere nsuo hyɛ ne omununkum mu, nanso nsuo no mu duru ntumi mpae no.
`Which God byndith watris in her cloudis, that tho breke not out togidere dounward.
9 Ɔtrɛ ne omununkum mu de kata ɔsrane ani.
`Whych God holdith the cheer of his seete, and spredith abrood theron his cloude.
10 Ɔhyɛ agyiraeɛ wɔ nsuo so de to hyeɛ wɔ hann ne esum ntam.
He hath cumpassid a terme to watris, til that liyt and derknessis be endid.
11 Ɔsoro nnyinasoɔ woso, na nʼanimka ma wɔn ho dwiri wɔn.
The pilers of heuene tremblen, and dreden at his wille.
12 Ɔde ne tumi wɔsoo ɛpo ne nyansa mu, ɔtwitwaa ɛpobɔpɔn mu asinasini.

13 Ɔde nʼahomeɛ maa ewiem teeɛ; na ne nsa wɔɔ ɔtweaseɛ a ɔrewea.
His spiryt ournede heuenes, and the crokid serpent was led out bi his hond, ledynge out as a mydwijf ledith out a child.
14 Yeinom yɛ ne nnwuma mfeafeaho; ɔka asomusɛm brɛoo kyerɛ yɛn! Na hwan na ɔbɛtumi ate ne tumi mmobɔmu no ase.”
Lo! these thingis ben seid in partie of `hise weyes; and whanne we han herd vnnethis a litil drope of his word, who may se the thundur of his greetnesse?
