Job 23
1 Then Job answered and said:
Yobo azongisaki:
2 Even to-day is my complaint bitter; my hand is become heavy because of my groaning.
« Lelo lisusu, kolela na ngai ezali bololo, loboko oyo ezali likolo na ngai eleki kolela ya motema na ngai na kilo.
3 Oh that I knew where I might find Him, that I might come even to His seat!
Soki nayebaki esika nini nakoki komona Nzambe, nalingaki kokoma liboso ya kiti ya bokonzi na Ye,
4 I would order my cause before Him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
nalingaki kotalisa, na bosembo nyonso, likambo na ngai liboso na Ye, mpe kotondisa monoko na ngai na matatoli ya solo,
5 I would know the words which He would answer me, and understand what He would say unto me.
nalingaki koyeba biyano oyo alingaki kopesa ngai, mpe kososola makambo oyo alingaki koloba na ngai.
6 Would He contend with me in His great power? Nay; but He would give heed unto me.
Boni, alingaki kosalela nguya na Ye mpo na kosamba na ngai? Te, alingaki kutu koyokela ngai mawa!
7 There the upright might reason with Him; so should I be delivered for ever from my Judge.
Kuna, liboso na Ye, moto ya sembo akososolisa Ye likambo na ngai, mpe nakokangolama libela wuta na maboko ya mosambisi na ngai.
8 Behold, I go forward, but He is not there, and backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
Soki nakeyi na ngambo ya este, azali kuna te; soki nakeyi na ngambo ya weste, nazali komona Ye te.
9 On the left hand, when He doth work, but I cannot behold Him, He turneth Himself to the right hand, but I cannot 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 For He knoweth the way that I take; when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
Nzokande, Ye ayebi nzela oyo ngai nazali kolanda; soki ameki ngai, nakokoma lokola wolo ya peto.
11 My foot hath held fast to His steps, His way have I kept, and turned not aside.
Makolo na ngai elandaki matambe na Ye; natambolaki na nzela na Ye mpe natikalaki kopengwa na yango te.
12 I have not gone back from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured up the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.
Napengwaki te mosika ya mateya ya bibebu na Ye; nabatelaki yango lokola bomengo ya kitoko, koleka lipa na ngai ya mokolo na mokolo.
13 But He is at one with Himself, and who can turn Him? And what His soul desireth, even that He doeth.
Kasi Ye, azwaka Ye moko mokano na Ye; nani akoki kotelemela Ye? Asalaka nyonso oyo esepelisaka Ye.
14 For He will perform that which is appointed for me; and many such things are with Him.
Akokokisa ekateli oyo azwaki na tina na ngai mpe ebele ya mabongisi mosusu oyo akobongisa.
15 Therefore am I affrighted at His presence; when I consider, I am afraid of Him.
Yango wana, liboso na Ye, nazali koyoka somo makasi; mpe wana nazali kokanisa makambo oyo nyonso, nazali kobanga Ye.
16 Yea, God hath made my heart faint, and the Almighty hath affrighted me;
Nzambe alembisi ngai, Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso abangisi ngai.
17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did He cover the thick darkness from my face.
Atako bongo, molili to molili makasi oyo ezingeli ngai ekangi ngai monoko te.
