Job 6
1 Then Job replied:
Yobo azongisaki:
2 “If only my grief could be weighed and placed with my calamity on the scales.
« Ah! Soki ezalaki na makoki ya komeka kilo ya mawa na ngai, mpe ya kotia pasi na ngai nyonso na emekelo kilo,
3 For then it would outweigh the sand of the seas— no wonder 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 have pierced me; my spirit drinks in their poison; the terrors of God are arrayed 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 a wild donkey bray over fresh grass, or an ox low over its fodder?
Boni, ane ya zamba elelaka soki ezali kolia matiti? Ngombe ya mobali elelaka soki ezali kolia bilei na yango?
6 Is tasteless food eaten without salt, or is there flavor 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 loathsome food to me.
Makambo oyo nazalaki koboya, yango nde ekomi bilei na ngai, atako ezali mabe.
8 If only my request were granted and God would fulfill my hope:
Ah! Nani akoki kosala ete bosenga na ngai ekokisama, mpe ete Nzambe akokisela ngai likambo oyo nazali kozela!
9 that God would be willing to crush me, to unleash His hand and cut me off!
Tika ete Nzambe aboma na Ye ngai, asembola loboko na Ye mpo na kokata ngai moto!
10 It still brings me comfort, and joy through unrelenting pain, 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 strength do I have, that I should still hope? What is my future, 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 like that of stone, or my flesh made of bronze?
Boni, nazali makasi lokola libanga? Nzoto na ngai ezali ya ebende?
13 Is there any help within me now that success is driven from me?
Nazali na nguya ya komisunga awa natikali lisusu na makoki te?
14 A despairing man should have the kindness of his friend, even if he 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 But my brothers are as faithless as wadis, as seasonal streams that overflow,
Kasi tala, bandeko na ngai bakosi ngai lokola moluka, lokola mayi ya moluka oyo ekawuki.
16 darkened because of the ice and the inflow of melting snow,
Tango mayi oyo ekomaka libanga mpo na malili, mpe mvula ya pembe, epanzanaka, ememaka mpela.
17 but ceasing in the dry season and vanishing from their channels in the heat.
Kasi na tango ya molunge, mayi yango esilaka, mpe moluka yango ekawukaka nyonso mpo na molunge makasi.
18 Caravans turn aside from their routes; they go into the wasteland 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 look for water; the travelers of Sheba hope to find it.
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 are confounded because they had hoped; their arrival brings disappointment.
Kasi bayokaki soni mpo ete batielaki yango motema; tango bakomaki kuna, bamiyokelaki mawa.
21 For now you are of no help; you see terror, and you 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 Have I ever said, ‘Give me something; offer me a bribe from your wealth;
Boni, nasila koloba na bino: ‹ Bokabela ngai ndambo ya biloko na bino to bofutela ngai niongo na nzela ya bozwi na bino,
23 deliver me from the hand of the enemy; redeem me from the grasp of the ruthless’?
mpo na kokangola ngai na loboko ya monguna to mpo na kobikisa ngai na nguya ya bato mabe? ›
24 Teach me, and I will be silent. Help me understand how I have erred.
Boteya ngai, bongo nakokanga monoko; bolakisa ngai mabe nini ngai nasali!
25 How painful are honest words! But what does your argument prove?
Tala ndenge maloba ya solo esalaka pasi! Kasi makanisi na bino elingi kotalisa nini?
26 Do you intend to correct my words, and treat as wind my cry of despair?
Bokanisi ete bokoki kosembola makambo oyo nazali koloba to kozwa lokola mopepe, maloba ya moto oyo azali na pasi?
27 You would even cast lots for an orphan and barter away your friend.
Solo, bino, bokoki ata kobeta zeke mpo na mwana etike mpe koteka moninga na bino na bowumbu!
28 But now, please look at me. Would I 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 Reconsider; do not be unjust. Reconsider, for my righteousness is at stake.
Bokanisa nanu malamu, bozala nanu sembo! Bokanisa penza malamu, pamba te ezali bosembo na ngai nde emekami.
30 Is there iniquity on my tongue? Can my mouth not discern malice?
Boni, likambo nini ya mabe ezali na monoko na ngai; monoko na ngai ekoki kososola mabe te?
