Hiob 37
1 “Yei ma mʼakoma bɔ paripari na ɛbɔ denden pa ara.
At this also mine heart is astonied, and is mooued out of his place.
2 Tie! Tie ne nne mmobom, ne hooyɛ a ɛfiri nʼanom reba.
Heare the sound of his voyce, and the noyse that goeth out of his mouth.
3 Ɔgyaa nʼanyinam mu wɔ ɔsoro ase nyinaa na ɔma ɛkɔduru asase ano.
He directeth it vnder the whole heauen, and his light vnto the endes of the world.
4 Ɛno akyi na ne mmobom no ba; ɔde nne kɛseɛ bobom. Sɛ ɔkasa a, biribiara nsianka no.
After it a noyse soundeth: hee thundereth with the voyce of his maiestie, and hee will not stay them when his voyce is heard.
5 Onyankopɔn nne bobom ma no yɛ nwanwa; ɔyɛ nneɛma akɛseɛ a ɛboro yɛn adwene so.
God thundereth marueilously with his voyce: he worketh great things, which we know not.
6 Ɔka kyerɛ sukyerɛmma sɛ, ‘Tɔ gu asase so,’ ne osutɔ nso sɛ, ‘Yɛ osutɔ kɛseɛ.’
For he sayth to the snowe, Be thou vpon the earth: likewise to the small rayne and to the great rayne of his power.
7 Sɛdeɛ nnipa a wabɔ wɔn nyinaa bɛhunu nʼadwuma enti, ɔma obiara gyae nʼadwuma.
With the force thereof he shutteth vp euery man, that all men may knowe his worke.
8 Wiram mmoa kɔtetɛ; wɔkɔhyehyɛ wɔn abɔn mu.
Then the beastes go into the denne, and remaine in their places.
9 Ahum tu firi ne pia mu, na awɔ nso firi mframa a ɛrebɔ mu.
The whirlewind commeth out of the South, and the colde from the North winde.
10 Onyankopɔn ahome de nsukyeneeɛ ba, na nsuo hahanaa no kyene.
At the breath of God the frost is giuen, and the breadth of the waters is made narrowe.
11 Ɔde fɔnwuni hyɛ omununkum ma; na ɔtwa nʼanyinam fa mu.
He maketh also the cloudes to labour, to water the earth, and scattereth the cloude of his light.
12 Ɔhyɛ ma wɔkyinkyini fa asase so nyinaa so hyia yɛ deɛ ɔkyerɛ sɛ wɔnyɛ biara.
And it is turned about by his gouernment, that they may doe whatsoeuer he commandeth them vpon the whole worlde:
13 Ɔde omununkum ba de bɛtwe nnipa aso, anaasɛ ɔma ɛtɔ gu asase so de kyerɛ nʼadɔeɛ.
Whether it be for punishment, or for his lande, or of mercie, he causeth it to come.
14 “Tie yei, Hiob; gyae na dwene Onyankopɔn anwanwadeɛ ho.
Hearken vnto this, O Iob: stand and consider the wonderous workes of God.
15 Wonim sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn danedane omununkum, na ɔma anyinam tete firi mu?
Diddest thou knowe when God disposed them? and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
16 Wonim sɛdeɛ omununkum sensɛn ewiem, deɛ ɔyɛ nyansaboakwa no anwanwadeɛ?
Hast thou knowen the varietie of the cloude, and the wonderous workes of him, that is perfite in knowledge?
17 Mo a mote fifire wɔ mo ntadeɛ mu ɛberɛ a anafoɔ mframa ma asase no yɛ dinn no,
Or howe thy clothes are warme, when he maketh the earth quiet through the South winde?
18 wobɛtumi aboa no ama watrɛ ewiem, a ɛyɛ dene sɛ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ ahwehwɛ?
Hast thou stretched out the heaues, which are strong, and as a molten glasse?
19 “Kyerɛ yɛn deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ yɛka kyerɛ no; yɛrentumi nka yɛn asɛm, ɛsiane sɛ yɛnnim enti.
Tell vs what we shall say vnto him: for we can not dispose our matter because of darknes.
20 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ Onyankopɔn nkaeɛ sɛ mepɛ sɛ me ne no kasa anaa? Onipa bi wɔ hɔ a ɔbɛpɛ sɛ wɔbɛmene no anaa?
Shall it be told him when I speake? or shall man speake when he shalbe destroyed?
21 Obiara rentumi nhwɛ owia, sɛdeɛ ɛhyerɛn wɔ ewiem ɛberɛ a mframa abɔ ama ewiem ateɛ.
And nowe men see not the light, which shineth in the cloudes, but the winde passeth and clenseth them.
22 Ɔfiri atifi fam ba wɔ animuonyam sononko mu; Onyankopɔn ba wɔ surokronkron tumi mu.
The brightnesse commeth out of the North: the praise thereof is to God, which is terrible.
23 Yɛnhunu Otumfoɔ deɛ, nanso ne tumi yɛ kɛseɛ; nʼatɛntenenee ne teneneeyɛ kɛseɛ akyi mpo ɔnyɛ nhyɛsoɔ.
It is the Almightie: we can not finde him out: he is excellent in power and iudgement, and aboundant in iustice: he afflicteth not.
24 Ɛno enti nnipa de anidie ma no, na ɔmmu akoma mu anyansafoɔ biara.”
Let men therefore feare him: for he will not regarde any that are wise in their owne conceit.
