< Job 26 >

1 Then Job answered and said:
Yobo azongisaki:
2 How hast thou helped the weak, And strengthened the feeble arm!
« Ah! Tala ndenge osungi moto oyo azangi makasi, ndenge osungi loboko oyo elembi!
3 How hast thou counselled the ignorant, And revealed wisdom in fulness!
Tala toli oyo opesi na moto azangi bwanya, mpe tala ebele na mayele oyo olakisi!
4 For whom hast thou uttered these words? And whose spirit spake through thee?
Ozwi maloba oyo wapi? Molimo oyo elobi na monoko na yo ezali ya nani?
5 Before Him the shades tremble Beneath the waters and their inhabitants.
Bakufi balengaka na se ya mayi mpe ya bikelamu oyo ezalaka kuna.
6 The under-world is naked before him, And destruction is without covering. (Sheol h7585)
Liboso ya Nzambe, mboka ya bakufi ezali bolumbu, mpe libulu ya molili ezali polele. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretcheth out the north over empty space, And hangeth the earth upon nothing.
Atandaka likolo na esika oyo ezali na eloko moko te, atelemisaka mabele na likolo ya eloko moko te,
8 He bindeth 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 covereth the face of his throne, And spreadeth his clouds upon it.
azipaka kiti ya bokonzi na Ye, atandaka mapata na likolo na yango;
10 He hath drawn a circular bound upon the waters, To the confines of light and darkness.
akataka mondelo na likolo ya mayi, na suka ya pole mpe na molili.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble And are confounded at his rebuke.
Makonzi ya Lola ezali kolenga mpe ezali kokamwa na pamela na Ye.
12 By his power he stilleth the sea, Yea, by his wisdom he smiteth its pride.
Na nguya na Ye, apasoli ebale monene; mpe na mayele na Ye, abuki-buki Rakabe na biteni.
13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; His hand hath formed the fleeing Serpent.
Na pema na Ye, Likolo ekomaka kitoko, loboko na Ye etobolaka nyoka oyo ekimaka.
14 Lo! these are but the borders of his works; How faint the whisper we have 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? »
