Job 6
1 Then Job answered and said:
Yobo azongisaki:
2 O that my grief were weighed thoroughly! That my calamities were put together in the balance!
« Ah! Soki ezalaki na makoki ya komeka kilo ya mawa na ngai, mpe ya kotia pasi na ngai nyonso na emekelo kilo,
3 Surely they would be heavier than the sand of the sea; On this account were my words rash.
nakanisi ete elingaki koleka zelo ya bibale minene na kilo. Yango wana, maloba na ngai ezali koleka ndelo.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty have pierced me; Their poison drinketh up my spirit; The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.
Makonga ya Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso etoboli ngai, mpe molimo na ngai ezali komela ngenge na yango; Nzambe atelemeli ngai na kanda na Ye.
5 Doth the wild ass bray in the midst of grass? Or loweth the ox over his fodder?
Boni, ane ya zamba elelaka soki ezali kolia matiti? Ngombe ya mobali elelaka soki ezali kolia bilei na yango?
6 Can that which is unsavory be eaten without salt? Is there any taste in the white of an egg?
Boni, baliaka na mungwa te bilei oyo ezanga elengi? Mayi oyo ezalaka kati na maki ezalaka elengi?
7 That which my soul abhorreth to touch Hath become my loathsome food.
Makambo oyo nazalaki koboya, yango nde ekomi bilei na ngai, atako ezali mabe.
8 O that I might have my request, And that God would grant me that which I long for!
Ah! Nani akoki kosala ete bosenga na ngai ekokisama, mpe ete Nzambe akokisela ngai likambo oyo nazali kozela!
9 That it would please God to destroy me; That he would let loose his hand, and make an end of me!
Tika ete Nzambe aboma na Ye ngai, asembola loboko na Ye mpo na kokata ngai moto!
10 Yet it should still be my consolation, Yea, in unsparing anguish I would exult, That I have not denied the commands of the Holy One.
Na boye nde nakoki kozwa kobondisama mpe esengo kati na pasi na ngai, oyo eleki ndelo, pamba te nawangani te maloba ya Ye oyo azali Mosantu.
11 What is my strength, that I should hope? And what mine end, that I should be patient?
Makasi nini penza nazali na yango mpo ete nazala lisusu na elikya? Mpo na nini nawumela lisusu kotala suka ya bomoi na ngai?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh brass?
Boni, nazali makasi lokola libanga? Nzoto na ngai ezali ya ebende?
13 Alas, there is no help within me! Deliverance is driven from me!
Nazali na nguya ya komisunga awa natikali lisusu na makoki te?
14 To the afflicted, kindness should be shown by a friend; Else he casteth off the fear of the Almighty.
Moto nyonso oyo azali na pasi asengeli na mawa ya baninga na ye, ata soki atiki kotosa Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso.
15 But my brethren are faithless like a brook; Like streams of the valley that pass away;
Kasi tala, bandeko na ngai bakosi ngai lokola moluka, lokola mayi ya moluka oyo ekawuki.
16 Which are turbid by reason of the ice, And the snow, which hideth itself in them.
Tango mayi oyo ekomaka libanga mpo na malili, mpe mvula ya pembe, epanzanaka, ememaka mpela.
17 As soon as they flow forth, they vanish; When the heat cometh, they are dried up from their place.
Kasi na tango ya molunge, mayi yango esilaka, mpe moluka yango ekawukaka nyonso mpo na molunge makasi.
18 The caravans turn aside to them on their way; They go up into the desert, and perish.
Masanga ya bato oyo batambolaka na bampunda mpo na kokende na mobembo, ebongoli nzela ya kokende, ekeyi kokota kino kati na esobe mpe ekufi kuna.
19 The caravans of Tema look for them; The companies of Sheba expect to see them;
Masanga ya bato ya Tema, oyo ezali na mobembo, elukaki mayi; masanga ya bato ya Saba, oyo ezali na mobembo, etielaki yango motema.
20 They are ashamed that they have relied on them; They come to their place, and are confounded.
Kasi bayokaki soni mpo ete batielaki yango motema; tango bakomaki kuna, bamiyokelaki mawa.
21 So ye also are nothing; Ye see a terror, and shrink back.
Bino mpe bozali ndenge wana mpo na ngai, bozali na makoki te ya kosunga ngai; awa bomoni pasi na ngai, somo ekangi bino!
22 Have I said, Bring me gifts? Or, Give a present for me out of your substance?
Boni, nasila koloba na bino: ‹ Bokabela ngai ndambo ya biloko na bino to bofutela ngai niongo na nzela ya bozwi na bino,
23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? Or, Rescue me from the hand of the violent?
mpo na kokangola ngai na loboko ya monguna to mpo na kobikisa ngai na nguya ya bato mabe? ›
24 Convince me, and I will hold my peace; Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
Boteya ngai, bongo nakokanga monoko; bolakisa ngai mabe nini ngai nasali!
25 How powerful are the words of truth! But what do your reproaches prove?
Tala ndenge maloba ya solo esalaka pasi! Kasi makanisi na bino elingi kotalisa nini?
26 Do ye mean to censure words? The words of a man in despair are but wind.
Bokanisi ete bokoki kosembola makambo oyo nazali koloba to kozwa lokola mopepe, maloba ya moto oyo azali na pasi?
27 Truly ye spread a net for the fatherless; Ye dig a pit for your friend.
Solo, bino, bokoki ata kobeta zeke mpo na mwana etike mpe koteka moninga na bino na bowumbu!
28 Look now upon me, I pray you; For to your very face can I speak falsehood?
Kasi sik’oyo, bozala na mitema malamu mpo na kotala ngai! Boni, nakoki penza kokosa bino, kaka na miso makasi boye?
29 Return, I pray, and let there be no unfairness; Yea, return; —still is my cause righteous.
Bokanisa nanu malamu, bozala nanu sembo! Bokanisa penza malamu, pamba te ezali bosembo na ngai nde emekami.
30 Is there iniquity on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern what is sinful?
Boni, likambo nini ya mabe ezali na monoko na ngai; monoko na ngai ekoki kososola mabe te?
