Hiob 37
1 “Yei ma mʼakoma bɔ paripari na ɛbɔ denden pa ara.
“Also, my heart trembles at this, And it moves from its place.
2 Tie! Tie ne nne mmobom, ne hooyɛ a ɛfiri nʼanom reba.
Listen diligently to the trembling of His voice, Indeed, the sound goes forth from His mouth.
3 Ɔgyaa nʼanyinam mu wɔ ɔsoro ase nyinaa na ɔma ɛkɔduru asase ano.
He directs it under the whole heavens, And its light [is] over the skirts of the earth.
4 Ɛno akyi na ne mmobom no ba; ɔde nne kɛseɛ bobom. Sɛ ɔkasa a, biribiara nsianka no.
A voice roars after it—He thunders with the voice of His excellence, And He does not hold them back, When His voice is heard.
5 Onyankopɔn nne bobom ma no yɛ nwanwa; ɔyɛ nneɛma akɛseɛ a ɛboro yɛn adwene so.
God thunders with His voice wonderfully, Doing great things and we do not know.
6 Ɔka kyerɛ sukyerɛmma sɛ, ‘Tɔ gu asase so,’ ne osutɔ nso sɛ, ‘Yɛ osutɔ kɛseɛ.’
For He says to snow: Be [on] the earth. And the small rain and great rain of His power.
7 Sɛdeɛ nnipa a wabɔ wɔn nyinaa bɛhunu nʼadwuma enti, ɔma obiara gyae nʼadwuma.
Into the hand of every man he seals, For the knowledge by all men of His work.
8 Wiram mmoa kɔtetɛ; wɔkɔhyehyɛ wɔn abɔn mu.
And the beast enters into [its] lair, And it continues in its habitations.
9 Ahum tu firi ne pia mu, na awɔ nso firi mframa a ɛrebɔ mu.
From the inner chamber comes a windstorm, And from scatterings winds—cold,
10 Onyankopɔn ahome de nsukyeneeɛ ba, na nsuo hahanaa no kyene.
From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of waters is constricted,
11 Ɔde fɔnwuni hyɛ omununkum ma; na ɔtwa nʼanyinam fa mu.
Indeed, by filling He presses out a cloud, [and] His light scatters a cloud.
12 Ɔhyɛ ma wɔkyinkyini fa asase so nyinaa so hyia yɛ deɛ ɔkyerɛ sɛ wɔnyɛ biara.
And it is turning itself around by His counsels, For their doing all He commands them, On the face of the habitable earth.
13 Ɔde omununkum ba de bɛtwe nnipa aso, anaasɛ ɔma ɛtɔ gu asase so de kyerɛ nʼadɔeɛ.
Whether for a rod, or for His land, Or for kindness—He causes it to come.
14 “Tie yei, Hiob; gyae na dwene Onyankopɔn anwanwadeɛ ho.
Hear this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God.
15 Wonim sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn danedane omununkum, na ɔma anyinam tete firi mu?
Do you know when God places them, And caused the light of His cloud to shine?
16 Wonim sɛdeɛ omununkum sensɛn ewiem, deɛ ɔyɛ nyansaboakwa no anwanwadeɛ?
Do you know the balancings of a cloud? The wonders of the Perfect in knowledge?
17 Mo a mote fifire wɔ mo ntadeɛ mu ɛberɛ a anafoɔ mframa ma asase no yɛ dinn no,
How your garments [are] warm, In the quieting of the earth from the south?
18 wobɛtumi aboa no ama watrɛ ewiem, a ɛyɛ dene sɛ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ ahwehwɛ?
You have made an expanse with Him For the clouds—strong as a hard mirror!
19 “Kyerɛ yɛn deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ yɛka kyerɛ no; yɛrentumi nka yɛn asɛm, ɛsiane sɛ yɛnnim enti.
Let us know what we say to Him, We do not set in array because of 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?
Is it declared to Him that I speak? If a man has spoken, surely he is swallowed up.
21 Obiara rentumi nhwɛ owia, sɛdeɛ ɛhyerɛn wɔ ewiem ɛberɛ a mframa abɔ ama ewiem ateɛ.
And now, they have not seen the light, It [is] bright in the clouds, And the wind has passed by and cleanses them.
22 Ɔfiri atifi fam ba wɔ animuonyam sononko mu; Onyankopɔn ba wɔ surokronkron tumi mu.
It comes from the golden north, Fearful splendor [is] beside God.
23 Yɛnhunu Otumfoɔ deɛ, nanso ne tumi yɛ kɛseɛ; nʼatɛntenenee ne teneneeyɛ kɛseɛ akyi mpo ɔnyɛ nhyɛsoɔ.
The Mighty! We have not found Him out, High in power and judgment, He does not answer! And abundant in righteousness,
24 Ɛno enti nnipa de anidie ma no, na ɔmmu akoma mu anyansafoɔ biara.”
Therefore men fear Him, He does not see any of the wise of heart.”
