Job 19
1 And Job answered and said,
Yobo azongisaki:
2 How long will ye vex my soul, and crush me with words?
« Kino tango nini bokotungisa ngai mpe kolembisa ngai na maloba na bino?
3 These ten times have ye reproached me; ye are not ashamed to stupefy me.
Tala, botioli ngai mbala zomi, mpe bozali kobundisa ngai na soni te.
4 And be it [that] I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
Soki ezali penza ya solo ete nabungi nzela, mbeba na ngai etali kaka ngai moko.
5 If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and prove against me my reproach,
Soki mpe bolingi komimona likolo na ngai mpe kosalela pasi na ngai mpo na kotiola ngai,
6 Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath surrounded me with his net.
wana boyeba ete Nzambe nde asali ngai mabe mpe azingeli ngai na monyama na Ye.
7 Behold, I cry out of wrong, and I am not heard; I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
Atako nagangi ete basali ngai mabe, nazali kozwa ata eyano moko te; ata soki nabeleli ete basunga ngai, moto oyo akokata likambo azali te.
8 He hath hedged up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
Akangi nzela na ngai mpo ete nakoka koleka te, atondisi nzela na ngai nyonso na molili,
9 He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
alongoli ngai lokumu, mpe alongoli motole na moto na ngai,
10 He breaketh me down on every side, and I am gone; and my hope hath he torn up as a tree.
asasi-sasi ngai na bangambo nyonso kino nakomi pene ya kokufa, apikoli elikya na ngai ndenge bapikolaka nzete;
11 And he hath kindled his anger against me, and hath counted me unto him as one of his enemies.
kanda na Ye ezali kotumba ngai, mpe azali kotanga ngai na molongo ya banguna na Ye;
12 His troops have come together and cast up their way against me, and have encamped round about my tent.
mampinga na Ye ezali kopusana na makasi penza, ezingeli ngai mpe ndako na ngai mpo na kosala ngai mabe.
13 He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are quite estranged from me.
Akaboli ngai na bandeko na ngai, bongo bato oyo bayebi ngai bapesi ngai mokongo,
14 My kinsfolk have failed, and my known friends have forgotten me.
balingami na ngai balimwe, mpe baninga na ngai babosani ngai;
15 The sojourners in my house and my maids count me as a stranger; I am an alien in their sight.
bato oyo nayambaki na ndako na ngai mpe basali na ngai ya basi, bango nyonso bakomi kotala ngai lokola mopaya, bakomi komona ngai lokola moto oyo batikala koyeba te.
16 I called my servant, and he answered not; I entreated him with my mouth.
Nazali kobenga mosali na ngai, kasi azali ata koyanola ngai te, atako monoko na ngai moko nde ezali kobondela ye.
17 My breath is strange to my wife, and my entreaties to the children of my [mother's] womb.
Solo ya monoko na ngai ekomi kokimisa ata mwasi na ngai, bongo bandeko na ngai moko penza bayini ngai.
18 Even young children despise me; I rise up, and they speak against me.
Ata bilenge mibali ya mike bakomi koseka ngai; soki kaka nabimi, bakomi kosambwisa ngai.
19 All my intimate friends abhor me, and they whom I loved are turned against me.
Balingami na ngai nyonso ya motema bayini ngai, bato oyo nazalaki kolinga babalukeli ngai;
20 My bones cleave to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
nakomi eloko pamba, natikali kaka poso ya nzoto mpe mikuwa, nazali kobika kaka na misuni ya minu na ngai.
21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
Balingami na ngai, boyokela ngai mawa, nabondeli bino penza, boyokela ngai mawa, pamba te loboko ya Nzambe ebeti ngai.
22 Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
Mpo na nini bozali kolandela ngai boye, ndenge kaka Nzambe azali kolandela ngai? Botondi mosuni na ngai te?
23 Oh would that my words were written! oh that they were inscribed in a book!
Ah, soki ata maloba na ngai ekomamaki, soki ekomamaki na buku!
24 That with an iron style and lead they were graven in the rock for ever!
Elingaki kokomama na ekomeli ya ebende, ya ebende oyo ya songe penza, mpo na kotobola makomi yango na mabanga mpo ete etikala wana mpo na libela.
25 And [as for] me, I know that my Redeemer liveth, and the Last, he shall stand upon the earth;
Ngai, nayebi na ngai malamu ete Mosikoli na ngai azali na bomoi, mpe, awa na mokili, akotelema ya suka mpo na kokata likambo na ngai.
26 And [if] after my skin this shall be destroyed, yet from out of my flesh shall I see God;
Sima na kobebisama ya poso ya nzoto na ngai, ngai, na nzoto na ngai, nakomona Nzambe.
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another: — my reins are consumed within me.
Solo, nakomona Ye, miso na ngai moko ekomona Ye, ngai moko penza, moto mosusu te.
28 If ye say, How shall we persecute him? when the root of the matter is found in me,
Bino oyo bozali koloba: ‹ Tokolanda ye ndenge nini? › Mpe bino bato oyo bomoni mabe kati na ngai,
29 Be ye yourselves afraid of the sword! for the sword is fury against misdeeds, that ye may know there is a judgment.
bolenga bino moko liboso ya mopanga, pamba te mopanga ezali esalelo ya kanda mpo na masumu, mpe bokoyeba ete kosambisama ezali. »
