Hiob 37
1 “Yei ma mʼakoma bɔ paripari na ɛbɔ denden pa ara.
At this my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.
2 Tie! Tie ne nne mmobom, ne hooyɛ a ɛfiri nʼanom reba.
Hear ye attentively the terror of his voice, and the sound that cometh out of his mouth.
3 Ɔgyaa nʼanyinam mu wɔ ɔsoro ase nyinaa na ɔma ɛkɔduru asase ano.
He beholdeth under all the heavens, and his light is upon the ends of the earth.
4 Ɛno akyi na ne mmobom no ba; ɔde nne kɛseɛ bobom. Sɛ ɔkasa a, biribiara nsianka no.
After it a noise shall roar, he shall thunder with the voice of his majesty, and shall not be found out, when his voice shall be heard.
5 Onyankopɔn nne bobom ma no yɛ nwanwa; ɔyɛ nneɛma akɛseɛ a ɛboro yɛn adwene so.
God shall thunder wonderfully with his voice, he that doth great and unsearchable things.
6 Ɔka kyerɛ sukyerɛmma sɛ, ‘Tɔ gu asase so,’ ne osutɔ nso sɛ, ‘Yɛ osutɔ kɛseɛ.’
He commandeth the snow to go down upon the earth, and the winter rain, and the shower of his strength.
7 Sɛdeɛ nnipa a wabɔ wɔn nyinaa bɛhunu nʼadwuma enti, ɔma obiara gyae nʼadwuma.
He sealeth up the hand of all men, that every one may know his works.
8 Wiram mmoa kɔtetɛ; wɔkɔhyehyɛ wɔn abɔn mu.
Then the beast shall go into his covert, and shall abide in his den.
9 Ahum tu firi ne pia mu, na awɔ nso firi mframa a ɛrebɔ mu.
Out of the inner parts shall a tempest come, and cold out of the north.
10 Onyankopɔn ahome de nsukyeneeɛ ba, na nsuo hahanaa no kyene.
When God bloweth there cometh frost, and again the waters are poured out abundantly.
11 Ɔde fɔnwuni hyɛ omununkum ma; na ɔtwa nʼanyinam fa mu.
Corn desireth clouds, and the clouds spread their light:
12 Ɔhyɛ ma wɔkyinkyini fa asase so nyinaa so hyia yɛ deɛ ɔkyerɛ sɛ wɔnyɛ biara.
Which go round about, whithersoever the will of him that governeth them shall lead them, to whatsoever he shall command them upon the face of the whole earth:
13 Ɔde omununkum ba de bɛtwe nnipa aso, anaasɛ ɔma ɛtɔ gu asase so de kyerɛ nʼadɔeɛ.
Whether in one tribe, or in his own land, or in what place soever of his mercy he shall command them to be found.
14 “Tie yei, Hiob; gyae na dwene Onyankopɔn anwanwadeɛ ho.
Hearken to these things, Job: Stand, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Wonim sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn danedane omununkum, na ɔma anyinam tete firi mu?
Dost thou know when God commanded the rains, to shew his light of his clouds?
16 Wonim sɛdeɛ omununkum sensɛn ewiem, deɛ ɔyɛ nyansaboakwa no anwanwadeɛ?
Knowest thou the great paths of the clouds, and the perfect knowledges?
17 Mo a mote fifire wɔ mo ntadeɛ mu ɛberɛ a anafoɔ mframa ma asase no yɛ dinn no,
Are not thy garments hot, when the south wind blows upon the earth?
18 wobɛtumi aboa no ama watrɛ ewiem, a ɛyɛ dene sɛ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ ahwehwɛ?
Thou perhaps hast made the heavens with him, which are most strong, as if they were of molten brass.
19 “Kyerɛ yɛn deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ yɛka kyerɛ no; yɛrentumi nka yɛn asɛm, ɛsiane sɛ yɛnnim enti.
Shew us what we may say to him: for we are wrapped up in darkness.
20 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ Onyankopɔn nkaeɛ sɛ mepɛ sɛ me ne no kasa anaa? Onipa bi wɔ hɔ a ɔbɛpɛ sɛ wɔbɛmene no anaa?
Who shall tell him the things I speak? even if a man shall speak, he shall be swallowed up.
21 Obiara rentumi nhwɛ owia, sɛdeɛ ɛhyerɛn wɔ ewiem ɛberɛ a mframa abɔ ama ewiem ateɛ.
But now they see not the light: the air on a sudden shall be thickened into clouds, and the wind shall pass and drive them away.
22 Ɔfiri atifi fam ba wɔ animuonyam sononko mu; Onyankopɔn ba wɔ surokronkron tumi mu.
Cold cometh out of the north, and to God praise with fear.
23 Yɛnhunu Otumfoɔ deɛ, nanso ne tumi yɛ kɛseɛ; nʼatɛntenenee ne teneneeyɛ kɛseɛ akyi mpo ɔnyɛ nhyɛsoɔ.
We cannot find him worthily: he is great in strength, and in judgment, and in justice, and he is ineffable.
24 Ɛno enti nnipa de anidie ma no, na ɔmmu akoma mu anyansafoɔ biara.”
Therefore men shall fear him, and all that seem to themselves to be wise, shall not dare to behold him.
