< Job 26 >
1 But Job answered and said,
Yobo azongisaki:
2 How have you helped him that is without power? how save you the arm that has no strength?
« Ah! Tala ndenge osungi moto oyo azangi makasi, ndenge osungi loboko oyo elembi!
3 How have you counselled him that has no wisdom? and how have you plentifully declared the thing as it is?
Tala toli oyo opesi na moto azangi bwanya, mpe tala ebele na mayele oyo olakisi!
4 To whom have you uttered words? and whose spirit came from you?
Ozwi maloba oyo wapi? Molimo oyo elobi na monoko na yo ezali ya nani?
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
Bakufi balengaka na se ya mayi mpe ya bikelamu oyo ezalaka kuna.
6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering. (Sheol )
Liboso ya Nzambe, mboka ya bakufi ezali bolumbu, mpe libulu ya molili ezali polele. (Sheol )
7 He stretches out the north over the empty place, and hangs the earth upon nothing.
Atandaka likolo na esika oyo ezali na eloko moko te, atelemisaka mabele na likolo ya eloko moko te,
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
akangaka mayi kati na mapata, kasi mapata epasukaka te;
9 He holds back the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud upon it.
azipaka kiti ya bokonzi na Ye, atandaka mapata na likolo na yango;
10 He has compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
akataka mondelo na likolo ya mayi, na suka ya pole mpe na molili.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
Makonzi ya Lola ezali kolenga mpe ezali kokamwa na pamela na Ye.
12 He divides the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through the proud.
Na nguya na Ye, apasoli ebale monene; mpe na mayele na Ye, abuki-buki Rakabe na biteni.
13 By his spirit he has garnished the heavens; his hand has formed the crooked serpent.
Na pema na Ye, Likolo ekomaka kitoko, loboko na Ye etobolaka nyoka oyo ekimaka.
14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
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? »
