Job 6
1 Then Job answered,
Yobo azongisaki:
2 “Oh that my anguish were weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances!
« Ah! Soki ezalaki na makoki ya komeka kilo ya mawa na ngai, mpe ya kotia pasi na ngai nyonso na emekelo kilo,
3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas, therefore my words have been rash.
nakanisi ete elingaki koleka zelo ya bibale minene na kilo. Yango wana, maloba na ngai ezali koleka ndelo.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me. My spirit drinks up their poison. The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.
Makonga ya Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso etoboli ngai, mpe molimo na ngai ezali komela ngenge na yango; Nzambe atelemeli ngai na kanda na Ye.
5 Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass? Or does the ox low over his fodder?
Boni, ane ya zamba elelaka soki ezali kolia matiti? Ngombe ya mobali elelaka soki ezali kolia bilei na yango?
6 Can that which has no flavor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
Boni, baliaka na mungwa te bilei oyo ezanga elengi? Mayi oyo ezalaka kati na maki ezalaka elengi?
7 My soul refuses to touch them. They are as loathsome food to me.
Makambo oyo nazalaki koboya, yango nde ekomi bilei na ngai, atako ezali mabe.
8 “Oh that I might have my request, that God would grant the thing that I long for,
Ah! Nani akoki kosala ete bosenga na ngai ekokisama, mpe ete Nzambe akokisela ngai likambo oyo nazali kozela!
9 even that it would please God to crush me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
Tika ete Nzambe aboma na Ye ngai, asembola loboko na Ye mpo na kokata ngai moto!
10 Let it still be my consolation, yes, let me exult in pain that does not spare, that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
Na boye nde nakoki kozwa kobondisama mpe esengo kati na pasi na ngai, oyo eleki ndelo, pamba te nawangani te maloba ya Ye oyo azali Mosantu.
11 What is my strength, that I should wait? What is my end, that I should be patient?
Makasi nini penza nazali na yango mpo ete nazala lisusu na elikya? Mpo na nini nawumela lisusu kotala suka ya bomoi na ngai?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh of bronze?
Boni, nazali makasi lokola libanga? Nzoto na ngai ezali ya ebende?
13 Is not it that I have no help in me, that wisdom is driven away from me?
Nazali na nguya ya komisunga awa natikali lisusu na makoki te?
14 “To him who is ready to faint, kindness should be shown from his friend; even to him who forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
Moto nyonso oyo azali na pasi asengeli na mawa ya baninga na ye, ata soki atiki kotosa Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso.
15 My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, as the channel of brooks that pass away;
Kasi tala, bandeko na ngai bakosi ngai lokola moluka, lokola mayi ya moluka oyo ekawuki.
16 which are black by reason of the ice, in which the snow hides itself.
Tango mayi oyo ekomaka libanga mpo na malili, mpe mvula ya pembe, epanzanaka, ememaka mpela.
17 In the dry season, they vanish. When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
Kasi na tango ya molunge, mayi yango esilaka, mpe moluka yango ekawukaka nyonso mpo na molunge makasi.
18 The caravans that travel beside them turn away. They go up into the waste, and perish.
Masanga ya bato oyo batambolaka na bampunda mpo na kokende na mobembo, ebongoli nzela ya kokende, ekeyi kokota kino kati na esobe mpe ekufi kuna.
19 The caravans of Tema looked. The companies of Sheba waited for them.
Masanga ya bato ya Tema, oyo ezali na mobembo, elukaki mayi; masanga ya bato ya Saba, oyo ezali na mobembo, etielaki yango motema.
20 They were distressed because they were confident. They came there, and were confounded.
Kasi bayokaki soni mpo ete batielaki yango motema; tango bakomaki kuna, bamiyokelaki mawa.
21 For now you are nothing. You see a terror, and are afraid.
Bino mpe bozali ndenge wana mpo na ngai, bozali na makoki te ya kosunga ngai; awa bomoni pasi na ngai, somo ekangi bino!
22 Did I ever say, ‘Give to me’? or, ‘Offer a present for me from your substance’?
Boni, nasila koloba na bino: ‹ Bokabela ngai ndambo ya biloko na bino to bofutela ngai niongo na nzela ya bozwi na bino,
23 or, ‘Deliver me from the adversary’s hand’? or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors’?
mpo na kokangola ngai na loboko ya monguna to mpo na kobikisa ngai na nguya ya bato mabe? ›
24 “Teach me, and I will hold my peace. Cause me to understand my error.
Boteya ngai, bongo nakokanga monoko; bolakisa ngai mabe nini ngai nasali!
25 How forcible are words of uprightness! But your reproof, what does it reprove?
Tala ndenge maloba ya solo esalaka pasi! Kasi makanisi na bino elingi kotalisa nini?
26 Do you intend to reprove words, since the speeches of one who is desperate are as wind?
Bokanisi ete bokoki kosembola makambo oyo nazali koloba to kozwa lokola mopepe, maloba ya moto oyo azali na pasi?
27 Yes, you would even cast lots for the fatherless, and make merchandise of your friend.
Solo, bino, bokoki ata kobeta zeke mpo na mwana etike mpe koteka moninga na bino na bowumbu!
28 Now therefore be pleased to look at me, for surely I will not lie to your face.
Kasi sik’oyo, bozala na mitema malamu mpo na kotala ngai! Boni, nakoki penza kokosa bino, kaka na miso makasi boye?
29 Please return. Let there be no injustice. Yes, return again. My cause is righteous.
Bokanisa nanu malamu, bozala nanu sembo! Bokanisa penza malamu, pamba te ezali bosembo na ngai nde emekami.
30 Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern mischievous things?
Boni, likambo nini ya mabe ezali na monoko na ngai; monoko na ngai ekoki kososola mabe te?
