< Job 26 >

1 And Job answered and said,
Na Hiob kasaa bio sɛ,
2 How hast thou helped the powerless; how saved the arm that is without strength!
“Woaboa deɛ ɔnni tumi! Woagye basa a ɛnni ahoɔden!
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and abundantly declared the thing as it is!
Woatu deɛ ɔnnim nyansa fo! Na woada nhunumu pa ara adi!
4 For whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
Hwan na ɔboaa wo ma wokaa saa nsɛm yi? Hwan honhom na ɛkasa faa wo mu?
5 The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof;
“Awufoɔ wɔ ahoyera kɛseɛ mu, wɔn a wɔwɔ nsuo ase ne deɛ ɛte mu nyinaa.
6 Sheol is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)
Asamando da adagya Onyankopɔn anim; Ɔsɛeɛ nso nni nkatasoɔ. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretcheth out the north over empty space, he hangeth the earth upon nothing;
Ɔtrɛ atifi fam ewiem wɔ deɛ ɛda mpan so; na ɔde asase sensɛn ohunu so.
8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not rent under them.
Ɔkyekyere nsuo hyɛ ne omununkum mu, nanso nsuo no mu duru ntumi mpae no.
9 He covereth the face of his throne, he spreadeth his cloud upon it.
Ɔtrɛ ne omununkum mu de kata ɔsrane ani.
10 He hath traced a fixed circle over the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
Ɔhyɛ agyiraeɛ wɔ nsuo so de to hyeɛ wɔ hann ne esum ntam.
11 The pillars of the heavens tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
Ɔsoro nnyinasoɔ woso, na nʼanimka ma wɔn ho dwiri wɔn.
12 He stirreth up the sea by his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
Ɔde ne tumi wɔsoo ɛpo ne nyansa mu, ɔtwitwaa ɛpobɔpɔn mu asinasini.
13 By his Spirit the heavens are adorned; his hand hath formed the fleeing serpent.
Ɔde nʼahomeɛ maa ewiem teeɛ; na ne nsa wɔɔ ɔtweaseɛ a ɔrewea.
14 Lo, these are the borders of his ways; but what a whisper of a word do we hear of him! And the thunder of his power, who can understand?
Yeinom yɛ ne nnwuma mfeafeaho; ɔka asomusɛm brɛoo kyerɛ yɛn! Na hwan na ɔbɛtumi ate ne tumi mmobɔmu no ase.”
