Job 14
1 Man that is borne of woman, is of short continuance, and full of trouble.
Moto oyo abotama na mwasi azalaka kaka na mikolo moke oyo mpe etonda na pasi.
2 He shooteth foorth as a flowre, and is cut downe: he vanisheth also as a shadowe, and continueth not.
Akolaka mpe akawukaka lokola fololo, awumelaka te lokola elili ya lipata oyo elekaka.
3 And yet thou openest thine eyes vpon such one, and causest me to enter into iudgement with thee.
Olingi kaka kolandela ekelamu ya boye? Olingi kaka komema ye liboso na Yo mpo na kosambisa ye?
4 Who can bring a cleane thing out of filthinesse? there is not one.
Nani akoki kobimisa bopeto kati na mbindo? Moko te!
5 Are not his dayes determined? the nober of his moneths are with thee: thou hast appointed his boundes, which he can not passe.
Mikolo ya moto ekatama; okata motango ya basanza na ye mpe otia mondelo oyo akoki koleka te.
6 Turne from him that he may cease vntill his desired day, as an hyreling.
Longola miso na Yo mosika na ye mpe tika ye, ye moko, kino tango akozwa lifuti ya mosala na ye lokola moto oyo asalaka kaka mpo na lifuti.
7 For there is hope of a tree, if it bee cut downe, that it will yet sproute, and the branches thereof will not cease.
Nzete ezalaka kutu na mwa elikya: ata bakati yango, ebimaka lisusu mpe ebotaka bitape ya sika;
8 Though the roote of it waxe olde in the earth, and the stocke thereof be dead in ye ground,
misisa na yango ekoki konuna na se ya mabele, mpe eteni na yango oyo etikalaka ekoki kokufa kati na mabele,
9 Yet by the sent of water it will bud, and bring foorth boughes like a plant.
nzokande soki kaka ezwi mayi, ekobimisa mito mpe ekobota bitape lokola nzete ya sika.
10 But man is sicke, and dyeth, and man perisheth, and where is he?
Kasi moto akufaka mpe aninganaka lisusu te, akataka motema mpe azalaka lisusu na bomoi te.
11 As the waters passe from the sea, and as the flood decayeth and dryeth vp,
Ndenge mayi esilaka na liziba to ndenge mayi ekawukaka,
12 So man sleepeth and riseth not: for hee shall not wake againe, nor be raised from his sleepe till the heauen be no more.
ndenge wana mpe moto akufaka mpe atelemaka lisusu te, akolamuka lisusu te mpe bakoki lisusu kolamusa ye te, tango nyonso likolo ekozala.
13 Oh that thou wouldest hide me in the graue, and keepe me secret, vntill thy wrath were past, and wouldest giue me terme, and remember me. (Sheol h7585)
Soki kaka obombaki ngai na se ya bakufi mpe otikaki ngai kuna kino kanda na Yo esila! Soki kaka okatelaki ngai tango mpo ete, na sima na yango, okanisa ngai lisusu! (Sheol h7585)
14 If a man die, shall he liue againe? All the dayes of mine appointed time will I waite, till my changing shall come.
Nzokande, soki moto akufi, boni, akoki lisusu kozala na bomoi? Nakozela kino lolenge na ngai ebongwana.
15 Thou shalt call me, and I shall answere thee: thou louest the worke of thine own hands.
Okobenga ngai, mpe ngai, nakondima; okozala na posa makasi ya ekelamu ya maboko na Yo.
16 But nowe thou nombrest my steppes, and doest not delay my sinnes.
Solo penza, okotanga makolo na ngai, kasi okolandela lisusu masumu na ngai te.
17 Mine iniquitie is sealed vp, as in a bagge, and thou addest vnto my wickednesse.
Mabe na ngai ekokangama kati na saki, mpe okozipa masumu na ngai.
18 And surely as the mountaine that falleth, commeth to nought, and the rocke that is remooued from his place:
Kasi, ndenge ngomba esilaka mpe ekweyaka, ndenge libanga elongwaka na esika na yango,
19 As the water breaketh the stones, when thou ouerflowest the things which growe in the dust of ye earth: so thou destroyest ye hope of man.
ndenge mayi eliaka mabanga, ndenge mayi oyo etiolaka ememaka mabele, ndenge wana mpe obebisaka elikya ya moto.
20 Thou preuailest alway against him, so that he passeth away: he changeth his face when thou castest him away.
Olongaka ye mbala moko, mpe akendaka na ye; obebisaka elongi na ye mpe obenganaka ye.
21 And he knoweth not if his sonnes shall be honourable, neither shall he vnderstand concerning them, whether they shalbe of lowe degree,
Soki bana na ye ya mibali bazwi lokumu, ayebaka na ye yango te; soki basambwisi bango, amonaka na ye yango te.
22 But while his flesh is vpon him, he shall be sorowfull, and while his soule is in him, it shall mourne.
Ayokaka kaka pasi kati na nzoto na ye, mpe motema na ye esalaka kaka matanga mpo na ye moko. »
