< Job 26 >

1 Job replied,
Yobo azongisaki:
2 “How helpful you have been to this feeble man that I am. How supportive you have been to the weak.
« Ah! Tala ndenge osungi moto oyo azangi makasi, ndenge osungi loboko oyo elembi!
3 What good advice you have given to this ignorant man, demonstrating you have so much wisdom.
Tala toli oyo opesi na moto azangi bwanya, mpe tala ebele na mayele oyo olakisi!
4 Who helped you speak these words? Who inspired you to say such things?
Ozwi maloba oyo wapi? Molimo oyo elobi na monoko na yo ezali ya nani?
5 The dead tremble, those beneath the waters.
Bakufi balengaka na se ya mayi mpe ya bikelamu oyo ezalaka kuna.
6 Sheol lies naked before God, Abaddon is uncovered. (Sheol h7585)
Liboso ya Nzambe, mboka ya bakufi ezali bolumbu, mpe libulu ya molili ezali polele. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches the northern sky over empty space; he hangs the world on nothing.
Atandaka likolo na esika oyo ezali na eloko moko te, atelemisaka mabele na likolo ya eloko moko te,
8 He gathers the rain in his storm clouds which do not break under the weight.
akangaka mayi kati na mapata, kasi mapata epasukaka te;
9 He veils his throne; covering it with his clouds.
azipaka kiti ya bokonzi na Ye, atandaka mapata na likolo na yango;
10 On the surface of the waters he set a boundary; he set a limit dividing light from darkness.
akataka mondelo na likolo ya mayi, na suka ya pole mpe na molili.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble; they shake with fear at his rebuke.
Makonzi ya Lola ezali kolenga mpe ezali kokamwa na pamela na Ye.
12 He calmed the sea with his power; because he knew what to do he crushed Rahab.
Na nguya na Ye, apasoli ebale monene; mpe na mayele na Ye, abuki-buki Rakabe na biteni.
13 The breath of his voice made the heavens beautiful; with his hand he pierced the gliding serpent.
Na pema na Ye, Likolo ekomaka kitoko, loboko na Ye etobolaka nyoka oyo ekimaka.
14 This is just a little of all he does—what we hear of him is hardly a whisper, so who can understand his thunderous power?”
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? »
