Job 23
1 And Job answers and says:
Yobo azongisaki:
2 “Also—today my complaint [is] bitter, My hand has been heavy because of my sighing.
« Lelo lisusu, kolela na ngai ezali bololo, loboko oyo ezali likolo na ngai eleki kolela ya motema na ngai na kilo.
3 O that I had known—and I find Him, I come to His seat,
Soki nayebaki esika nini nakoki komona Nzambe, nalingaki kokoma liboso ya kiti ya bokonzi na Ye,
4 I arrange the 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 know the words He answers me, And understand what He says to me.
nalingaki koyeba biyano oyo alingaki kopesa ngai, mpe kososola makambo oyo alingaki koloba na ngai.
6 Does He strive with me in the abundance of power? No! Surely He puts [it] in me.
Boni, alingaki kosalela nguya na Ye mpo na kosamba na ngai? Te, alingaki kutu koyokela ngai mawa!
7 There the upright reason with Him, And I escape from mine who is judging—forever.
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—and He is not, And backward—and I do not perceive Him.
Soki nakeyi na ngambo ya este, azali kuna te; soki nakeyi na ngambo ya weste, nazali komona Ye te.
9 [To] the left in His working—and I do not see, He is covered [on] the right, and I do not behold.
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 has known the way with me, He has tried me—I go forth as gold.
Nzokande, Ye ayebi nzela oyo ngai nazali kolanda; soki ameki ngai, nakokoma lokola wolo ya peto.
11 My foot has laid hold on His step, I have kept His way, and do not turn aside,
Makolo na ngai elandaki matambe na Ye; natambolaki na nzela na Ye mpe natikalaki kopengwa na yango te.
12 The command of His lips, and I do not depart. I have laid up above my allotted portion The sayings of His mouth.
Napengwaki te mosika ya mateya ya bibebu na Ye; nabatelaki yango lokola bomengo ya kitoko, koleka lipa na ngai ya mokolo na mokolo.
13 And He [is] in one [mind], And who turns Him back? And His soul has desired—and He does [it].
Kasi Ye, azwaka Ye moko mokano na Ye; nani akoki kotelemela Ye? Asalaka nyonso oyo esepelisaka Ye.
14 For He completes my portion, And many such things [are] with Him.
Akokokisa ekateli oyo azwaki na tina na ngai mpe ebele ya mabongisi mosusu oyo akobongisa.
15 Therefore, I am troubled at His presence, I consider, and am afraid of Him.
Yango wana, liboso na Ye, nazali koyoka somo makasi; mpe wana nazali kokanisa makambo oyo nyonso, nazali kobanga Ye.
16 And God has made my heart soft, And the Mighty has troubled me.
Nzambe alembisi ngai, Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso abangisi ngai.
17 For I have not been cut off before darkness, And before me He covered thick darkness.”
Atako bongo, molili to molili makasi oyo ezingeli ngai ekangi ngai monoko te.
