Job 7
1 Is there not an appointed time to man vpon earth? and are not his dayes as the dayes of an hyreling?
Boni, bomoi ya moto awa na se ezali kaka bomoi ya pasi te? Mikolo ya bomoi na ye ezali penza mikolo ya mongamba te?
2 As a seruant longeth for the shadowe, and as an hyreling looketh for the ende of his worke,
Ndenge mowumbu azelaka pio ya pokwa to ndenge mongamba azelaka makasi lifuti na ye,
3 So haue I had as an inheritance the moneths of vanitie, and painefull nights haue bene appointed vnto me.
ngai nazwaki lokola libula, basanza ya pamba mpe babutu ya pasi na pasi.
4 If I layed me downe, I sayde, When shall I arise? and measuring the euening I am euen full with tossing to and from vnto the dawning of the day.
Soki kaka nalali, nakomi komituna: ‹ Tango nini nakolamuka? › Mpe soki kaka nalamuki: ‹ Tango nini butu ekoya? › Nalembi komitungisa tango nyonso.
5 My flesh is clothed with wormes and filthinesse of the dust: my skinne is rent, and become horrible.
Nkusu mpe makwanza ezipi nzoto na ngai, poso ya nzoto na ngai ezoki-zoki bapota mpe ekomi kolumba solo.
6 My dayes are swifter then a weauers shittle, and they are spent without hope.
Mikolo ya bomoi na ngai ezali koleka mbangu penza koleka tonga oyo mosali bilamba asalelaka; nakomi na suka, mpe elikya na ngai nyonso esili.
7 Remember that my life is but a wind, and that mine eye shall not returne to see pleasure.
Oh Nkolo, kobosana te ete bomoi na ngai ezali kaka pema ya pamba! Miso na ngai ekomona lisusu bolamu te.
8 The eye that hath seene me, shall see me no more: thine eyes are vpon me, and I shall be no longer.
Liso oyo ezali komona ngai sik’oyo ekotikala komona ngai lisusu te; okoluka ngai, kasi nakozala lisusu te.
9 As the cloude vanisheth and goeth away, so he that goeth downe to the graue, shall come vp no more. (Sheol h7585)
Ndenge mapata ekendaka mpe elimwaka, ndenge wana mpe moto oyo akendaka na mboka ya bakufi azongaka lisusu te. (Sheol h7585)
10 He shall returne no more to his house, neither shall his place knowe him any more.
Akozonga lisusu te na ndako na ye, mpe ndako na ye ekoyeba ye lisusu te.
11 Therefore I will not spare my mouth, but will speake in the trouble of my spirite, and muse in the bitternesse of my minde.
Yango wana, nakokanga monoko na ngai te, molimo na ngai ekoloba kaka na mawa, mpe motema na ngai ekolela kaka pasi na ngai.
12 Am I a sea or a whalefish, that thou keepest me in warde?
Boni, nakomi ebale to elima ya mayi mpo ete batiela ngai bikangiseli?
13 When I say, My couch shall relieue me, and my bed shall bring comfort in my meditation,
Nakanisaka ete soki nalali, mbeto na ngai ekobondisa ngai mpe pongi ekokitisa pasi na ngai;
14 Then fearest thou me with dreames, and astonishest me with visions.
nzokande, ozali lisusu kotungisa ngai na bandoto ya mabe mpe kobangisa ngai na bimoniseli ya somo.
15 Therefore my soule chuseth rather to be strangled and to die, then to be in my bones.
Malamu bafina ngai kingo mpe nakufa, pamba te kufa ezali na litomba koleka bomoi oyo.
16 I abhorre it, I shall not liue alway: spare me then, for my dayes are but vanitie.
Nayini bomoi na ngai; nawumela libela te na bomoi! Tika ngai kimia, pamba te mikolo na ngai ezanga na yango tina.
17 What is man, that thou doest magnifie him, and that thou settest thine heart vpon him?
Moto azali penza nani mpo ete okanisaka ye, mpo ete olandelaka ye na bokebi,
18 And doest visite him euery morning, and tryest him euery moment?
mpo ete otalaka ye tango nyonso mpe omekaka ye tango nyonso?
19 Howe long will it be yer thou depart from me? thou wilt not let me alone whiles I may swallowe my spettle.
Mpo na nini okoki kolongola miso na Yo te likolo na ngai? Mpo na nini okoki kotika ngai kimia te ata mpo na ngonga moke?
20 I haue sinned, what shall I do vnto thee? O thou preseruer of me, why hast thou set me as a marke against thee, so that I am a burden vnto my selfe?
Oh Mokeli na ngai, soki nasali lisumu, eloko nini ngai nasali Yo? Mpo na nini oponi kaka kobeta ngai? Boni, nakomi mokumba mpo na Yo?
21 And why doest thou not pardon my trespasse? and take away mine iniquitie? for nowe shall I sleepe in the dust, and if thou seekest me in the morning, I shall not be found.
Mpo na nini ozali kolimbisa mabunga na ngai te mpe ozali kobosana masumu na ngai te? Kala mingi te, nakokende kolala na putulu; okoluka ngai, kasi nakozala lisusu te. »
