< Job 26 >

1 Then Job made answer and said,
Yobo azongisaki:
2 How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength!
« Ah! Tala ndenge osungi moto oyo azangi makasi, ndenge osungi loboko oyo elembi!
3 How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!
Tala toli oyo opesi na moto azangi bwanya, mpe tala ebele na mayele oyo olakisi!
4 To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?
Ozwi maloba oyo wapi? Molimo oyo elobi na monoko na yo ezali ya nani?
5 The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.
Bakufi balengaka na se ya mayi mpe ya bikelamu oyo ezalaka kuna.
6 The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil. (Sheol h7585)
Liboso ya Nzambe, mboka ya bakufi ezali bolumbu, mpe libulu ya molili ezali polele. (Sheol h7585)
7 By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing.
Atandaka likolo na esika oyo ezali na eloko moko te, atelemisaka mabele na likolo ya eloko moko te,
8 By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.
akangaka mayi kati na mapata, kasi mapata epasukaka te;
9 By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.
azipaka kiti ya bokonzi na Ye, atandaka mapata na likolo na yango;
10 By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.
akataka mondelo na likolo ya mayi, na suka ya pole mpe na molili.
11 The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.
Makonzi ya Lola ezali kolenga mpe ezali kokamwa na pamela na Ye.
12 By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.
Na nguya na Ye, apasoli ebale monene; mpe na mayele na Ye, abuki-buki Rakabe na biteni.
13 By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.
Na pema na Ye, Likolo ekomaka kitoko, loboko na Ye etobolaka nyoka oyo ekimaka.
14 See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.
Soki makambo wana ezali kaka ndambo moke ya misala na Ye mpe mongongo na Ye ya se oyo toyokaka, nani akoki kososola bakake ya nguya na Ye? »
