Job 37
1 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.
“Yei ma mʼakoma bɔ paripari na ɛbɔ denden pa ara.
2 Hear attentively 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 directeth it 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 excellency; and he will not stay them 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 marvellously 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, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
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 may know his work.
Sɛdeɛ nnipa a wabɔ wɔn nyinaa bɛhunu nʼadwuma enti, ɔma obiara gyae nʼadwuma.
8 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
Wiram mmoa kɔtetɛ; wɔkɔhyehyɛ wɔn abɔn mu.
9 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: 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 frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
Onyankopɔn ahome de nsukyeneeɛ ba, na nsuo hahanaa no kyene.
11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:
Ɔde fɔnwuni hyɛ omununkum ma; na ɔtwa nʼanyinam fa mu.
12 And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.
Ɔhyɛ ma wɔkyinkyini fa asase so nyinaa so hyia yɛ deɛ ɔkyerɛ sɛ wɔnyɛ biara.
13 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
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 when God disposed them, and caused the light 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 he quieteth the earth by the south wind?
Mo a mote fifire wɔ mo ntadeɛ mu ɛberɛ a anafoɔ mframa ma asase no yɛ dinn no,
18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?
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 speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be 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 bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
Obiara rentumi nhwɛ owia, sɛdeɛ ɛhyerɛn wɔ ewiem ɛberɛ a mframa abɔ ama ewiem ateɛ.
22 Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.
Ɔfiri atifi fam ba wɔ animuonyam sononko mu; Onyankopɔn ba wɔ surokronkron tumi mu.
23 Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of 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 respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
Ɛno enti nnipa de anidie ma no, na ɔmmu akoma mu anyansafoɔ biara.”
