< Job 27 >

1 And Job again took up the word and said,
Yobo akobaki koloba:
2 By the life of God, who has taken away my right; and of the Ruler of all, who has made my soul bitter;
« Na Kombo ya Nzambe oyo awangani bosembo na ngai, na Kombo ya Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso oyo atungisi motema na ngai,
3 (For all my breath is still in me, and the spirit of God is my life; )
wana ngai nazali nanu na bomoi, mpe pema ya Nzambe ezali nanu na zolo na ngai,
4 Truly, there is no deceit in my lips, and my tongue does not say what is false.
bibebu na ngai ekoloba mabe te, mpe lolemo na ngai ekobimisa lokuta te.
5 Let it be far from me! I will certainly not say that you are right! I will come to death before I give up my righteousness.
Ekozala penza mabe koleka soki ngai nalongisi bino! Kino tango nakokufa, nakotika te kotatola boyengebene na ngai,
6 I will keep it safe, and will not let it go: my heart has nothing to say against any part of my life.
nakobatela bosembo na ngai, nakotika yango te; motema na ngai ekotikala kosambisa ngai mokolo moko te.
7 Let my hater be like the evil man, and let him who comes against me be as the sinner.
Tika ete bayini na ngai bazala lokola bato mabe, mpe banguna na ngai, lokola bato bazangi bosembo!
8 For what is the hope of the sinner when he is cut off, when God takes back his soul?
Elikya nini moto mabe azali na yango tango Nzambe azwi bomoi na ye?
9 Will his cry come to the ears of God when he is in trouble?
Boni, Nzambe ayokaki koganga na ye tango pasi ekomelaki ye?
10 Will he take delight in the Ruler of all, and make his prayer to God at all times?
Boni, akosepela penza na Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso to akobelela lisusu Nzambe tango nyonso?
11 I will give you teaching about the hand of God; I will not keep secret from you what is in the mind of the Ruler of all.
Nakoteya bino makambo oyo etali nguya ya Nzambe, nakobomba te nzela ya Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso.
12 Truly, you have all seen it yourselves; why then have you become completely foolish?
Bino nyonso, boyebi yango malamu! Bongo mpo na nini bilobaloba ya boye?
13 This is the punishment of the evil-doer from God, and the heritage given to the cruel by the Ruler of all.
Tala lifuti oyo Nzambe abongiseli moto mabe, libula oyo moto ya mobulu azwaka epai ya Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso:
14 If his children are increased, it is for the sword; and his offspring have not enough bread.
Ata soki bana na ye ya mibali bakomi ebele, mopanga ezali lifuti na bango, bakitani na ye bakokufa na nzala,
15 When those of his house who are still living come to their end by disease, they are not put into the earth, and their widows are not weeping for them.
bokono oyo ebomaka ekoboma bato na ye, oyo bakotikala na bomoi, mpe basi na bango oyo bakufisa mibali bakolela bango te.
16 Though he may get silver together like dust, and make ready great stores of clothing;
Ata soki asangisi palata lokola putulu mpe bilamba lokola mipiku ya mabele,
17 He may get them ready, but the upright will put them on, and he who is free from sin will take the silver for a heritage.
nyonso oyo abongisi, moto ya sembo nde akolata yango, mpe bato oyo basali mabe te nde bakokabola palata na ye.
18 His house has no more strength than a spider's thread, or a watchman's tent.
Ndako oyo atongi ezali makasi te lokola ndako ya limpulututu, lokola ndako ya matiti oyo mokengeli atongaka.
19 He goes to rest full of wealth, but does so for the last time: on opening his eyes, he sees it there no longer.
Akokufa na bozwi, kasi akosala na yango eloko moko te; tango akofungola miso, bozwi na ye nyonso ekozala lisusu te.
20 Fears overtake him like rushing waters; in the night the storm-wind takes him away.
Somo ekozwa ye lokola mayi ya mpela; na butu, mopepe makasi ekopikola ye na mbalakata.
21 The east wind takes him up and he is gone; he is forced violently out of his place.
Wuta na ngambo ya este, mopepe makasi ekomema ye, mpe akei libela, ekopikola ye na esika na ye.
22 God sends his arrows against him without mercy; he goes in flight before his hand.
Bakobwakela ye makonga na mawa te, ata azali kosala makasi ya kokima loboko ya moto oyo azali kobwakela ye yango.
23 Men make signs of joy because of him, driving him from his place with sounds of hissing.
Bakobetela libebi na ye maboko, mpe bakotiola ye na piololo wuta na ndako na ye moko. »
