Job 16
1 Then Job answered:
Yobo azongisaki:
2 “I have heard many things like these; miserable comforters are you all.
« Nayoki maloba ebele ya lolenge oyo; bino nyonso bozali babondisi mabe.
3 Is there no end to your long-winded speeches? What provokes you to continue testifying?
Kino tango nini bokotika koloba maloba ya pamba-pamba boye? Likambo nini etindi yo lisusu kozongela maloba?
4 I could also speak like you if you were in my place; I could heap up words against you and shake my head at you.
Ngai mpe nakokaki koloba lokola bino, soki bozalaki na esika na ngai, nakokaki kobimisa maloba ebele mpe koningisa moto mpo na bino.
5 But I would encourage you with my mouth, and the consolation of my lips would bring relief.
Kasi monoko na ngai elingaki kolendisa bino, mpe bibebu na ngai elingaki koningana mpo na kokitisa bino mitema kati na pasi.
6 Even if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I hold back, how will it go away?
Nzokande, soki nalobi, pasi na ngai ekosila te; bongo soki nakangi monoko nde pasi yango elongwe na bomoi na ngai?
7 Surely He has now exhausted me; You have devastated all my family.
Oh Nzambe! Solo penza, olembisi ngai! Obebisi ndako na ngai nyonso,
8 You have bound me, and it has become a witness; my frailty rises up and testifies against me.
ofini-fini ngai makasi penza, mpe kokonda na ngai ekomi ata kotatola mpe kofunda ngai na miso ya bato!
9 His anger has torn me and opposed me; He gnashes His teeth at me. My adversary pierces me with His eyes.
Kanda na Yo ezali kopasola mpe kobundisa ngai, okomi ata kolia minu mpo na kosala ngai mabe mpe kotala ngai na miso mabe lokola nde nazali monguna na yo.
10 They open their mouths against me and strike my cheeks with contempt; they join together against me.
Bato mabe bafungoli minoko mpo na kotiola ngai, bakomi kobeta ngai bambata na matama mpo na kosambwisa ngai, bango nyonso basaleli ngai likita.
11 God has delivered me to unjust men; He has thrown me to the clutches of the wicked.
Nzambe akabi ngai na maboko ya bato mabe mpe abwaki ngai na manzaka na bango.
12 I was at ease, but He shattered me; He seized me by the neck and crushed me. He has set me up as His target;
Makambo nyonso ezalaki kotambola malamu mpo na ngai, kasi aningisi ngai, akangi ngai na kingo mpe apanzi ngai, akomisi ngai lokola eloko na Ye ya komekela makonga;
13 His archers surround me. He pierces my kidneys without mercy and spills my gall on the ground.
makonga na Ye ezingeli ngai, atoboli-toboli libumu na ngai, mpe na mawa te, asopi makila na ngai na mabele.
14 He breaks me with wound upon wound; He rushes me like a mighty warrior.
Tango nyonso, azali kaka kozokisa ngai mpe kokweya likolo na ngai lokola elombe.
15 I have sewn sackcloth over my skin; I have buried my horn in the dust.
Natongi elamba na ngai ya saki na poso ya nzoto na ngai mpe nakundi lokumu na ngai nyonso na se ya putulu.
16 My face is red with weeping, and deep shadows ring my eyes;
Likolo ya kolela, elongi na ngai ekomi motane, mpe molili ezingeli miso na ngai.
17 yet my hands are free of violence and my prayer is pure.
Nzokande, maboko na ngai etikala kosala moto mabe te, mpe libondeli na ngai ezalaki kosalema na motema peto.
18 O earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry for help never be laid to rest.
Oh mabele, kozipa makila na ngai te! Kotika te ete koganga na ngai ezwa tango ya kopema!
19 Even now my witness is in heaven, and my advocate is on high.
Wuta sik’oyo, motatoli na ngai azali na Likolo, molobeli na ngai azali na Lola.
20 My friends are my scoffers as my eyes pour out tears to God.
Baninga na ngai bakomi koseka ngai; nazali nde kolela epai ya Nzambe na mpinzoli.
21 Oh, that a man might plead with God as he pleads with his neighbor!
Boni, ezali solo na molobeli oyo akoki kolobela moto liboso ya Nzambe ndenge moto alobelaka moninga na ye?
22 For when only a few years are past I will go the way of no return.
Solo, motango ya mibu na ngai ekomi pene ya kosila, mpe nakokende na ngai na nzela oyo bato bazongaka lisusu te.
