Job 23
1 Then Job answered, and said:
Yobo azongisaki:
2 Now also my words are in bitterness, and the hand of my scourge is more grievous than my mourning.
« Lelo lisusu, kolela na ngai ezali bololo, loboko oyo ezali likolo na ngai eleki kolela ya motema na ngai na kilo.
3 Who will grant me that I might know and find him, and come even to his throne?
Soki nayebaki esika nini nakoki komona Nzambe, nalingaki kokoma liboso ya kiti ya bokonzi na Ye,
4 I would set judgment before him, and would fill my mouth with complaints.
nalingaki kotalisa, na bosembo nyonso, likambo na ngai liboso na Ye, mpe kotondisa monoko na ngai na matatoli ya solo,
5 That I might know the words that he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.
nalingaki koyeba biyano oyo alingaki kopesa ngai, mpe kososola makambo oyo alingaki koloba na ngai.
6 I would not that he should contend with me with much strength, nor overwhelm me with the weight of his greatness.
Boni, alingaki kosalela nguya na Ye mpo na kosamba na ngai? Te, alingaki kutu koyokela ngai mawa!
7 Let him propose equity against me, and let my judgment come to victory.
Kuna, liboso na Ye, moto ya sembo akososolisa Ye likambo na ngai, mpe nakokangolama libela wuta na maboko ya mosambisi na ngai.
8 But if I go to the east, he appeareth not; if to the west, I shall not understand him.
Soki nakeyi na ngambo ya este, azali kuna te; soki nakeyi na ngambo ya weste, nazali komona Ye te.
9 If to the left hand, what shall I do? I shall not take hold on him: if I turn myself to the right hand, I shall not 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 But he knoweth my way, and has tried me as gold that passeth through the fire:
Nzokande, Ye ayebi nzela oyo ngai nazali kolanda; soki ameki ngai, nakokoma lokola wolo ya peto.
11 My foot hath followed his steps, I have kept his way, and have not declined from it.
Makolo na ngai elandaki matambe na Ye; natambolaki na nzela na Ye mpe natikalaki kopengwa na yango te.
12 I have not departed from the commandments of his lips, and the words of his mouth I have hid in my bosom.
Napengwaki te mosika ya mateya ya bibebu na Ye; nabatelaki yango lokola bomengo ya kitoko, koleka lipa na ngai ya mokolo na mokolo.
13 For he is alone, and no man can turn away his thought: and whatsoever is soul hath desired, that hath he done.
Kasi Ye, azwaka Ye moko mokano na Ye; nani akoki kotelemela Ye? Asalaka nyonso oyo esepelisaka Ye.
14 And when he shall have fulfilled his will in me, many other like things are also at hand with him.
Akokokisa ekateli oyo azwaki na tina na ngai mpe ebele ya mabongisi mosusu oyo akobongisa.
15 And therefore I am troubled at his presence, and when I consider him I am made pensive with fear.
Yango wana, liboso na Ye, nazali koyoka somo makasi; mpe wana nazali kokanisa makambo oyo nyonso, nazali kobanga Ye.
16 God hath softened my heart, and the Almighty hath troubled me.
Nzambe alembisi ngai, Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso abangisi ngai.
17 For I have not perished because of the darkness that hangs over me, neither hath the mist covered my face.
Atako bongo, molili to molili makasi oyo ezingeli ngai ekangi ngai monoko te.
