Job 5
1 “Pray, call, is there any to answer you? And to which of the holy ones do you turn?
Ganga na yo, soki olingi! Nani akoyanola yo? Okotombokela mosantu nini?
2 For provocation slays the perverse, And envy puts to death the simple,
Kotomboka ebomaka moto oyo azangi mayele, zuwa ebomaka zoba.
3 I have seen the perverse taking root, And I mark his habitation straight away,
Solo, namonaki zoba kozwa misisa; kasi, mbala moko, nalakelaki ndako na ye mabe:
4 His sons are far from safety, And they are bruised in the gate, And there is no deliverer.
‹ Tika ete bana na ye ya mibali bazanga lisungi, balonga te na kosambisama mpe bazangela moto oyo akobundela bango!
5 Whose harvest the hungry eat, And even take it from the thorns, And the designing swallowed their wealth.
Tika ete moto oyo azali na nzala asilisa mbuma ya elanga na ye, akamata yango kino kati na basende; mpe tika ete moto ya lokoso asilisa bomengo na ye! ›
6 For sorrow does not come forth from the dust, Nor does misery spring up from the ground.
Pamba te pasi ewutaka na putulu te, mpe minyoko ewutaka na mabele te;
7 For man is born to misery, And the sparks go high to fly.
moto abotamaka mpo na komona pasi, ndenge kaka mikalikali ebimaka mpo na kopanzana na likolo.
8 Yet I inquire for God, And for God I give my word,
Kasi soki ezalaki ngai, nalingaki komimonisa liboso ya Nzambe, nalingaki kotalisa Ye likambo na ngai.
9 Doing great things, and there is no searching. Wonderful, until there is no numbering.
Nzambe asalaka makambo minene oyo bato bakokaka kososola te, mpe bikamwa oyo bato bakokaka kotanga te;
10 Who is giving rain on the face of the land, And is sending waters on the out-places.
anokisaka mvula na mokili, mpe atindaka mayi na bilanga;
11 To set the low on a high place, And the mourners have been high [in] safety.
atombolaka bato oyo babwakama, mpe apesaka esengo na bato oyo bazali kolela;
12 Making void thoughts of the cunning, And their hands do not execute wisdom.
abebisaka mabongisi ya bato oyo bazalaka na mayele mabe, mpe maboko na bango ekokisaka te mikano na bango;
13 Capturing the wise in their subtlety, And the counsel of wrestling ones was hurried,
akangaka bato ya bwanya kati na mitambo ya mayele mabe na bango, mpe abebisaka mabongisi ya bakosi.
14 By day they meet darkness, And as night—they grope at noon.
Molili eyelaka bango na moyi; na moyi makasi, batambolaka na kotepatepa lokola na butu.
15 He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth, And from a strong hand,
Nzambe abikisaka mobola na mopanga ya monoko na bango, akangolaka moto akelela na loboko ya moto ya makasi.
16 And there is hope for the poor, And perverseness has shut her mouth.
Boye, mobola asengeli kozala na elikya, mpe moto oyo atambolaka na bosembo te asengeli kokanga monoko.
17 Behold, the blessedness of mortal man, God reproves him: And do not despise the discipline of the Mighty,
Esengo na moto oyo Nzambe apameli! Kotiolaka te pamela ya Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso.
18 For He pains, and He binds up, He strikes, and His hands heal.
Pamba te azokisaka pota, kasi atiaka yango mpe kisi; abetaka, kasi loboko na Ye ebikisaka.
19 In six distresses He delivers you, And in seven evil does not strike on you.
Mbala motoba, akobikisa yo na pasi; mpe na mbala ya sambo, mabe ekokomela yo te.
20 In famine He has redeemed you from death, And in battle from the hands of the sword.
Akokangola yo na kufa, na tango ya nzala makasi; mpe akobikisa yo na nguya ya mopanga, kati na bitumba.
21 When the tongue scourges you are hid, And you are not afraid of destruction, When it comes.
Okobatelama liboso ya fimbu ya lolemo, okobanga kobebisama te tango ekoya;
22 At destruction and at hunger you mock, And of the beast of the earth, You are not afraid.
okoseka kobebisama mpe nzala makasi, mpe okobanga te banyama ya mokili;
23 (For with sons of the field [is] your covenant, And the beast of the field Has been at peace with you.)
pamba te okozala na boyokani elongo na mabanga ya bilanga, mpe banyama ya zamba ekozala na kimia elongo na yo.
24 And you have known that your tent [is] peace, And inspected your habitation, and do not err,
Okososola ete ndako na yo ezali na kimia; tango okotala bibwele kati na lopango na yo, okomona ete ata moko te ezangi.
25 And have known that your seed [is] numerous, And your offspring as the herb of the earth;
Okososola ete bana na yo bakozala ebele, mpe bakitani na yo, lokola matiti ya mabele.
26 You come in full age to the grave, As the going up of a stalk in its season.
Okokita na kunda na kimobange makasi, ndenge batelemisaka maboke ya matiti na tango na yango.
27 Behold, this—we searched it out—it [is] right, listen; And you, know for yourself!”
Toyekolaki likambo yango malamu: ezali penza bongo. Boye, yoka yango mpe salela yango mpo na bolamu na yo! »
