Job 23
1 And Job made answer and said,
Yobo azongisaki:
2 Even today my outcry is bitter; his hand is hard on my sorrow.
« Lelo lisusu, kolela na ngai ezali bololo, loboko oyo ezali likolo na ngai eleki kolela ya motema na ngai na kilo.
3 If only I had knowledge of where he might be seen, so that I might come even to his seat!
Soki nayebaki esika nini nakoki komona Nzambe, nalingaki kokoma liboso ya kiti ya bokonzi na Ye,
4 I would put my cause in order before him, and my mouth would be full of arguments.
nalingaki kotalisa, na bosembo nyonso, likambo na ngai liboso na Ye, mpe kotondisa monoko na ngai na matatoli ya solo,
5 I would see what his answers would be, and have knowledge of what he would say to me.
nalingaki koyeba biyano oyo alingaki kopesa ngai, mpe kososola makambo oyo alingaki koloba na ngai.
6 Would he make use of his great power to overcome me? No, but he would give attention to me.
Boni, alingaki kosalela nguya na Ye mpo na kosamba na ngai? Te, alingaki kutu koyokela ngai mawa!
7 There an upright man might put his cause before him; and I would be free for ever from my judge.
Kuna, liboso na Ye, moto ya sembo akososolisa Ye likambo na ngai, mpe nakokangolama libela wuta na maboko ya mosambisi na ngai.
8 See, I go forward, but he is not there; and back, but I do not see him;
Soki nakeyi na ngambo ya este, azali kuna te; soki nakeyi na ngambo ya weste, nazali komona Ye te.
9 I am looking for him on the left hand, but there is no sign of him; and turning to the right, I am not able to see him.
Tango azali na mosala na ngambo ya nor, nazali komona Ye te, tango azali kobaluka na ngambo ya sude, nazali komona Ye ata moke te.
10 For he has knowledge of the way I take; after I have been tested I will come out like gold.
Nzokande, Ye ayebi nzela oyo ngai nazali kolanda; soki ameki ngai, nakokoma lokola wolo ya peto.
11 My feet have gone in his steps; I have kept in his way, without turning to one side or to the other.
Makolo na ngai elandaki matambe na Ye; natambolaki na nzela na Ye mpe natikalaki kopengwa na yango te.
12 I have never gone against the orders of his lips; the words of his mouth have been stored up in my heart.
Napengwaki te mosika ya mateya ya bibebu na Ye; nabatelaki yango lokola bomengo ya kitoko, koleka lipa na ngai ya mokolo na mokolo.
13 But his purpose is fixed and there is no changing it; and he gives effect to the desire of his soul.
Kasi Ye, azwaka Ye moko mokano na Ye; nani akoki kotelemela Ye? Asalaka nyonso oyo esepelisaka Ye.
14 For what has been ordered for me by him will be gone through to the end: and his mind is full of such designs.
Akokokisa ekateli oyo azwaki na tina na ngai mpe ebele ya mabongisi mosusu oyo akobongisa.
15 For this cause I am in fear before him, my thoughts of him overcome me.
Yango wana, liboso na Ye, nazali koyoka somo makasi; mpe wana nazali kokanisa makambo oyo nyonso, nazali kobanga Ye.
16 For God has made my heart feeble, and my mind is troubled before the Ruler of all.
Nzambe alembisi ngai, Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso abangisi ngai.
17 For I am overcome by the dark, and by the black night which is covering my face.
Atako bongo, molili to molili makasi oyo ezingeli ngai ekangi ngai monoko te.
