< Job 24 >
1 Tymes ben not hid fro Almyyti God; sotheli thei that knowen hym, knowen not hise daies.
Mpo na nini Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso akataka tango te mpo na esambiselo? Mpo na nini bato oyo bayebi Ye basengeli koluka na pamba mikolo ya boye?
2 Othere men turneden ouer the termes of neiyboris eritage, thei token awei flockis, and fedden tho.
Bato bapusaka bandelo, bakendaka koleisa bibwele oyo bayibaki,
3 Thei driueden awei the asse of fadirlesse children, and token awei the cow of a widewe for a wed.
babotolaka ane ya mwana etike mpe bazwaka lokola ndanga ngombe ya mobali ya mwasi oyo akufisi mobali;
4 Thei distrieden the weie of pore men, and thei oppressiden togidere the mylde men of erthe.
balongolaka babola na nzela, mpe batindaka na makasi babola nyonso ya mokili ete babombama.
5 Othere men as wielde assis in deseert goon out to her werk; and thei waken to prey, and bifor maken redy breed to her children.
Lokola ba-ane ya zamba, babola bakendaka tongo-tongo na mosala mpo na koluka biloko ya kolia, kasi kaka esobe nde epesaka bana na bango bilei;
6 Thei kitten doun a feeld not hern, and thei gaderen grapis of his vyner, whom thei han oppressid bi violence.
bakataka matiti na bilanga mpo na bibwele mpe balokotaka bambuma oyo etikalaka na bilanga ya vino ya moto mabe.
7 Thei leeuen men nakid, and taken awei the clothis, to whiche men is noon hiling in coold;
Na butu, balalaka bolumbu mpo na kozanga bilamba, bazangi bulangeti mpo na komifinika na tango ya malili;
8 whiche men the reynes of munteyns weeten, and thei han noon hilyng, and biclippen stoonys.
bapoli na mvula ya ngomba, bakangami na mabanga mpo na kozanga esika ya kobombama.
9 Thei diden violence, and robbiden fadirles and modirles children; and thei spuyliden, `ether robbiden, the comynte of pore men.
Bazali kobotola mwana etike na mabele ya mama na ye, bazali kokanga mwana ya mobola mpo na niongo.
10 Thei token awey eeris of corn fro nakid men, and goynge with out cloth, and fro hungry men.
Soki bazangi bilamba, batambolaka bolumbu; bamemaka maboke ya nzete ya ble, kasi bazongaka kaka na nzala.
11 Thei weren hid in myddai among the heepis of tho men, that thirsten, whanne the presses ben trodun.
Bakamolaka bambuma ya olive kati na mapango ya bato mosusu, bakamolaka bambuma ya vino, kasi bazongaka kaka na posa ya komela.
12 Thei maden men of citees to weile, and the soulis of woundid men schulen crye; and God suffrith it not to go awei vnpunyschid.
Bileli ya kufa ezali koyokana wuta na mboka, mpe milimo ya bato oyo bazoki ezali koganga mpo na koluka lisungi, kasi Nzambe azali kopesa etumbu ata na moto moko te.
13 Thei weren rebel to liyt; thei knewen not the weyes therof, nether thei turneden ayen bi the pathis therof.
Bato oyo bazali kosala bongo, bazali kotombokela pole, bayebi nzela na Ye te mpe batambolaka ata kati na yango te.
14 A mansleere risith ful eerli, and sleeth a nedi man, and a pore man; sotheli bi nyyt he schal be as a nyyt theef.
Mobomi azali kotelema na moyi mpe koboma mobola elongo na moto akelela; na butu, azali lokola moyibi.
15 The iye of avouter kepith derknesse, and seith, An yye schal not se me; and he schal hile his face.
Liso ya moto ya ekobo ezelaka ete molili ekota; amilobelaka: ‹ Moto moko te akomona ngai, › mpe abombaka elongi na ye.
16 Thei mynen housis in derknessis, as thei seiden togidere to hem silf in the dai; and thei knewen not liyt.
Kati na molili, bato balukaka kobuka bandako ya bato; kasi na moyi, bamikangelaka na ndako, bazali koboya pole.
17 If the morewtid apperith sudeynli, thei demen the schadewe of deth; and so thei goon in derknessis as in liyt.
Mpo na bango, molili makasi ezali nde tongo, somo ya molili ekomaka moninga na bango.
18 He is vnstablere than the face of the water; his part in erthe be cursid, and go he not bi the weie of vyneris.
Nzokande bazali lokola fulufulu likolo ya etando ya mayi, eteni ya mabele na bango elakelami mabe epai ya bato ya mboka, yango wana moko te azali kokende na bilanga ya vino.
19 Passe he to ful greet heete fro the watris of snowis, and the synne of hym `til to hellis. (Sheol )
Ndenge kokawuka mpe moyi makasi emelaka mayi ya mvula pembe, ndenge wana mpe mboka ya bakufi emelaka bato oyo basalaka masumu. (Sheol )
20 Merci foryete hym; his swetnesse be a worm; be he not in mynde, but be he al to-brokun as `a tre vnfruytful.
Libumu ya mama ebosanaka bango mpe bankusu esepelaka kolia bango. Bakanisaka bango lisusu te, pamba te mabe na bango esili kobukana lokola nzete.
21 For he fedde the bareyn, and hir that childith not, and he dide not wel to the widewe.
Bato mabe basepelisaka basi bazangi bana mpe bato oyo babotaka te, kasi basalaka bolamu te epai ya mwasi oyo akufisa mobali.
22 He drow doun stronge men in his strengthe; and whanne he stondith in `greet state, he schal not bileue to his lijf.
Kasi Nzambe, na nguya na Ye, abakisaka mikolo ya banyokoli na bango; ata batombolami, bazalaka na elikya te mpo na bomoi na bango.
23 God yaf to hym place of penaunce, and he mysusith that in to pride; for the iyen of God ben in the weies of that man.
Nzambe apesaka bango kimia, kasi miso na Ye etalaka nzela na bango.
24 Thei ben reisid at a litil, and thei schulen not stonde; and thei schulen be maad low as alle thingis, and thei schulen be takun awei; and as the hyynessis of eeris of corn thei schulen be al to-brokun.
Mpe atako sik’oyo bazali bato minene, na tango moke bakozala lisusu te, bakokweya mpe bakokufa lokola moto nyonso, bakokatama lokola mito ya ble.
25 That if it is not so, who may repreue me, that Y liede, and putte my wordis bifor God?
Soki ezali bongo te, nani akoki kolakisa ngai ete nazali koloba lokuta? Nani akoloba ete maloba na ngai ezali ya pamba? »
