Hiob 26
1 Na Hiob kasaa bio se,
Then responded Job, and said: —
2 “Woaboa nea onni tumi! Woagye basa a enni ahoɔden!
How hast thou given help to one of no-strength? given victory to an arm of no-power?
3 Woatu nea onnim nyansa fo! Na woada nhumu pa ara adi!
How hast thou given counsel to one of no-wisdom? or, effective wisdom, abundantly made known?
4 Hena na ɔboaa wo ma wokaa saa nsɛm yi? Hena honhom na ɛkasa faa wo mu?
Whom hast thou taught speech? Whose inspiration hath come from thee?
5 “Awufo wɔ ahoyeraw kɛse mu, wɔn a wɔwɔ nsu ase ne nea ɛte mu nyinaa.
The shades, tremble, beneath the waters and their inhabitants;
Naked is hades before him, and there is no covering to destruction; (Sheol h7585)
7 Ɔtrɛw wim atifi fam kata nea ɛda mpan so; na ɔde asase sensɛn ohunu so.
Who stretcheth out the north over emptiness, hangeth the earth upon nothingness;
8 Ɔbɔ nsu boa hyɛ ne omununkum mu, nanso nsu no mu duru ntumi mpae no.
Who bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not rent beneath them;
9 Ɔtrɛw ne omununkum mu de kata ɔsram ani.
Who shutteth-in the face of the throne, he spreadeth over it his cloud;
10 Ɔhyɛ agyirae wɔ nsu so de to ɔhye wɔ hann ne sum ntam.
A, boundary, hath he encircled on the face of the waters, as far as where light ends in darkness;
11 Ɔsoro nnyinaso wosow, na nʼanimka ma wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn.
The pillars of the heavens, are shaken, and are terrified at his rebuke:
12 Ɔde ne tumi wosow po ne nyansa mu, otwitwaa Rahab mu asinasin.
By his strength, hath he excited the sea, and, by his skill, hath he shattered the Crocodile:
13 Ɔde ne home maa wim tewee; na ne nsa wɔɔ ɔwɔ a ɔrewea.
By his spirit, hath he arched the heavens, His hand hath pierced the fleeing serpent.
14 Eyinom yɛ ne nnwuma kakraa bi; ne tumi kakraa bi kɛkɛ! Na hena na obetumi ate ne tumi mmubomu no ase?”
Lo! these, are the fringes of his way, and what a whisper of a word hath been heard of him! But, the thunder of his might, who could understand?
