Job 37
1 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.
“Yei ma mʼakoma bɔ paripari na ɛbɔ denden pa ara.
2 Hearken ye unto the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
Tie! Tie ne nne mmobom, ne hooyɛ a ɛfiri nʼanom reba.
3 He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
Ɔgyaa nʼanyinam mu wɔ ɔsoro ase nyinaa na ɔma ɛkɔduru asase ano.
4 After it a voice roareth; he thundereth with the voice of his majesty: and he stayeth them not when his voice is heard.
Ɛno akyi na ne mmobom no ba; ɔde nne kɛseɛ bobom. Sɛ ɔkasa a, biribiara nsianka no.
5 God thundereth marvelously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
Onyankopɔn nne bobom ma no yɛ nwanwa; ɔyɛ nneɛma akɛseɛ a ɛboro yɛn adwene so.
6 For he saith to the snow, Fall thou on the earth; likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of his mighty rain.
Ɔka kyerɛ sukyerɛmma sɛ, ‘Tɔ gu asase so,’ ne osutɔ nso sɛ, ‘Yɛ osutɔ kɛseɛ.’
7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men whom he hath made may know [it].
Sɛdeɛ nnipa a wabɔ wɔn nyinaa bɛhunu nʼadwuma enti, ɔma obiara gyae nʼadwuma.
8 Then the beasts go into coverts, and remain in their dens.
Wiram mmoa kɔtetɛ; wɔkɔhyehyɛ wɔn abɔn mu.
9 Out of the chamber [of the south] cometh the storm: and cold out of the north.
Ahum tu firi ne pia mu, na awɔ nso firi mframa a ɛrebɔ mu.
10 By the breath of God ice is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
Onyankopɔn ahome de nsukyeneeɛ ba, na nsuo hahanaa no kyene.
11 Yea, he ladeth the thick cloud with moisture; he spreadeth abroad the cloud of his lightning:
Ɔde fɔnwuni hyɛ omununkum ma; na ɔtwa nʼanyinam fa mu.
12 And it is turned round about by his guidance, that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the habitable world.
Ɔhyɛ ma wɔkyinkyini fa asase so nyinaa so hyia yɛ deɛ ɔkyerɛ sɛ wɔnyɛ biara.
13 Whether it be for correction, or for his land, or for mercy, that he cause it to come.
Ɔde omununkum ba de bɛtwe nnipa aso, anaasɛ ɔma ɛtɔ gu asase so de kyerɛ nʼadɔeɛ.
14 Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
“Tie yei, Hiob; gyae na dwene Onyankopɔn anwanwadeɛ ho.
15 Dost thou know how God layeth [his charge] upon them, and causeth the lightning of his cloud to shine?
Wonim sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn danedane omununkum, na ɔma anyinam tete firi mu?
16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
Wonim sɛdeɛ omununkum sensɛn ewiem, deɛ ɔyɛ nyansaboakwa no anwanwadeɛ?
17 How thy garments are warm, when the earth is still by reason of the south [wind]?
Mo a mote fifire wɔ mo ntadeɛ mu ɛberɛ a anafoɔ mframa ma asase no yɛ dinn no,
18 Canst thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong as a molten mirror?
wobɛtumi aboa no ama watrɛ ewiem, a ɛyɛ dene sɛ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ ahwehwɛ?
19 Teach us what we shall say unto him; [for] we cannot order [our speech] by reason of darkness.
“Kyerɛ yɛn deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ yɛka kyerɛ no; yɛrentumi nka yɛn asɛm, ɛsiane sɛ yɛnnim enti.
20 Shall it be told him that I would speak? or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ Onyankopɔn nkaeɛ sɛ mepɛ sɛ me ne no kasa anaa? Onipa bi wɔ hɔ a ɔbɛpɛ sɛ wɔbɛmene no anaa?
21 And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
Obiara rentumi nhwɛ owia, sɛdeɛ ɛhyerɛn wɔ ewiem ɛberɛ a mframa abɔ ama ewiem ateɛ.
22 Out of the north cometh golden splendour: God hath upon him terrible majesty.
Ɔfiri atifi fam ba wɔ animuonyam sononko mu; Onyankopɔn ba wɔ surokronkron tumi mu.
23 [Touching] the Almighty, we can not find him out; he is excellent in power: and in judgment and plenteous justice he will not afflict.
Yɛnhunu Otumfoɔ deɛ, nanso ne tumi yɛ kɛseɛ; nʼatɛntenenee ne teneneeyɛ kɛseɛ akyi mpo ɔnyɛ nhyɛsoɔ.
24 Men do therefore fear him: he regardeth not any that are wise of heart.
Ɛno enti nnipa de anidie ma no, na ɔmmu akoma mu anyansafoɔ biara.”
