Job 16
1 Then Job answered and said,
Yobo azongisaki:
2 “I have heard many such things; you are all miserable comforters.
« Nayoki maloba ebele ya lolenge oyo; bino nyonso bozali babondisi mabe.
3 Will useless words ever have an end? What is wrong with you that you answer like this?
Kino tango nini bokotika koloba maloba ya pamba-pamba boye? Likambo nini etindi yo lisusu kozongela maloba?
4 I also could speak as you do, if you were in my place; I could collect and join words together against you and shake my head at you in mockery.
Ngai mpe nakokaki koloba lokola bino, soki bozalaki na esika na ngai, nakokaki kobimisa maloba ebele mpe koningisa moto mpo na bino.
5 I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the quivering of my lips will bring you relief!
Kasi monoko na ngai elingaki kolendisa bino, mpe bibebu na ngai elingaki koningana mpo na kokitisa bino mitema kati na pasi.
6 If I speak, my grief is not lessened; if I keep from speaking, how am I helped?
Nzokande, soki nalobi, pasi na ngai ekosila te; bongo soki nakangi monoko nde pasi yango elongwe na bomoi na ngai?
7 But now, God, you have made me weary; you have made all my family desolate.
Oh Nzambe! Solo penza, olembisi ngai! Obebisi ndako na ngai nyonso,
8 You have made me dry up, which itself is a witness against me; the leanness of my body rises up against me, and it testifies against my face.
ofini-fini ngai makasi penza, mpe kokonda na ngai ekomi ata kotatola mpe kofunda ngai na miso ya bato!
9 God has torn me in his wrath and persecuted me; He grinds his teeth in rage; my enemy fastens his eyes on me as he tears me apart.
Kanda na Yo ezali kopasola mpe kobundisa ngai, okomi ata kolia minu mpo na kosala ngai mabe mpe kotala ngai na miso mabe lokola nde nazali monguna na yo.
10 People have gaped with open mouth at me; they have hit me reproachfully on the cheek; they have gathered together against me.
Bato mabe bafungoli minoko mpo na kotiola ngai, bakomi kobeta ngai bambata na matama mpo na kosambwisa ngai, bango nyonso basaleli ngai likita.
11 God hands me over to ungodly people, and throws me into the hands of wicked people.
Nzambe akabi ngai na maboko ya bato mabe mpe abwaki ngai na manzaka na bango.
12 I was at ease, and he broke me apart. Indeed, he has taken me by the neck and dashed me to pieces; he has also set me up as his target.
Makambo nyonso ezalaki kotambola malamu mpo na ngai, kasi aningisi ngai, akangi ngai na kingo mpe apanzi ngai, akomisi ngai lokola eloko na Ye ya komekela makonga;
13 His archers surround me all around; God pierces my kidneys and does not spare me; he pours out my bile on the ground.
makonga na Ye ezingeli ngai, atoboli-toboli libumu na ngai, mpe na mawa te, asopi makila na ngai na mabele.
14 He smashes through my wall again and again; he runs upon me like a warrior.
Tango nyonso, azali kaka kozokisa ngai mpe kokweya likolo na ngai lokola elombe.
15 I have sewn sackcloth on my skin; I have thrust my horn into the ground.
Natongi elamba na ngai ya saki na poso ya nzoto na ngai mpe nakundi lokumu na ngai nyonso na se ya putulu.
16 My face is red with weeping; on my eyelids is the shadow of death
Likolo ya kolela, elongi na ngai ekomi motane, mpe molili ezingeli miso na ngai.
17 although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.
Nzokande, maboko na ngai etikala kosala moto mabe te, mpe libondeli na ngai ezalaki kosalema na motema peto.
18 Earth, do not cover up my blood; let my cry have no resting place.
Oh mabele, kozipa makila na ngai te! Kotika te ete koganga na ngai ezwa tango ya kopema!
19 Even now, see, my witness is in heaven; he who vouches for me is on high.
Wuta sik’oyo, motatoli na ngai azali na Likolo, molobeli na ngai azali na Lola.
20 My friends scoff at me, but my eye pours out tears to God.
Baninga na ngai bakomi koseka ngai; nazali nde kolela epai ya Nzambe na mpinzoli.
21 I ask for that witness in heaven to argue for this man with God as a man does with his neighbor!
Boni, ezali solo na molobeli oyo akoki kolobela moto liboso ya Nzambe ndenge moto alobelaka moninga na ye?
22 For when a few years have passed, I will go to a place from where I will not return.
Solo, motango ya mibu na ngai ekomi pene ya kosila, mpe nakokende na ngai na nzela oyo bato bazongaka lisusu te.
