< Job 37 >

1 Also, at this my heart trembleth, And it moveth from its place.
Mpo na yango, motema na ngai ezali kolenga mpe ezali kobeta makasi lokola nde elingi kobima na esika na yango.
2 Hearken diligently to the trembling of His voice, Yea, the sound from His mouth goeth forth.
Yoka! Yoka makelele ya mongongo na Ye, makelele oyo ezali kobima na monoko na Ye.
3 Under the whole heavens He directeth it, And its light [is] over the skirts of the earth.
Azali kotinda yango na mokili mobimba, mpe kake na Ye kino na suka ya mokili.
4 After it roar doth a voice — He thundereth with the voice of His excellency, And He doth not hold them back, When His voice is heard.
Sima na yango, konguluma na Ye ekoyokana, akoganga makasi na mongongo ya bokonzi na Ye; akokanga mikalikali ya monoko na Ye te, wana mongongo na Ye ezali koyokana.
5 God thundereth with His voice wonderfully, Doing great things and we know not.
Na nzela ya mongongo na Ye ya makasi, Nzambe asalaka bikamwa, asalaka makambo minene, makambo minene oyo mayele na biso ekoki kososola te.
6 For to snow He saith, 'Be [on] the earth.' And the small rain and great rain of His power.
Alobaka na mvula ya pembe: ‹ Sopana na mabele. › Alobaka bongo lisusu na mvula ya makasi: ‹ Sopana. ›
7 Into the hand of every man he sealeth, For the knowledge by all men of His work.
Boye, atiaka kashe na loboko ya moto nyonso mpo ete moto nyonso ayeba misala na Ye. Atondisaka bato nyonso na somo ya nguya na Ye.
8 And enter doth the beast into covert, And in its habitations it doth continue.
Banyama ezongaka na bandako na yango mpe evandaka kati na libulu na yango.
9 From the inner chamber cometh a hurricane, And from scatterings winds — cold,
Mopepe makasi ewutaka na ngambo ya sude, malili mpe mipepe, na ngambo ya nor.
10 From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of waters is straitened,
Na mopepe oyo ebimaka na monoko ya Nzambe, mayi ebongwanaka libanga mpe bitima ya mayi ekondaka.
11 Yea, by filling He doth press out a cloud, Scatter a cloud doth His light.
Atondisaka mapata na mayi, mpe pole na Ye epanzaka mapata ya mvula.
12 And it is turning itself round by His counsels, For their doing all He commandeth them, On the face of the habitable earth.
Na makasi na Ye, mapata ebalukaka na bangambo nyonso mpo na kokokisa nyonso oyo Ye atindaka yango kosala kati na mokili.
13 Whether for a rod, or for His land, Or for kindness — He doth cause it to come.
Ezalaka mpo na kopesa etumbu na mokili to mpo na kopambola yango.
14 Hear this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God.
Yoka, Yobo! Telema mpe sosola bikamwa ya Nzambe.
15 Dost thou know when God doth place them, And caused to shine the light of His cloud?
Oyebi ndenge nini Nzambe akambaka mapata, mpe ndenge nini angengisaka mikalikali na Ye na mapata?
16 Dost thou know the balancings of a cloud? The wonders of the Perfect in knowledge?
Oyebi ndenge nini mapata evandaka malamu? Ezali bikamwa ya Ye-Oyo-Akoka-Na-Boyebi-Nyonso.
17 How thy garments [are] warm, In the quieting of the earth from the south?
Bilamba na yo ezali na moto, nzokande mabele ezali konyokwama na mopepe ya midi.
18 Thou hast made an expanse with Him For the clouds — strong as a hard mirror!
Boni, okoki solo kosunga Nzambe mpo na kotanda likolo elongo na Ye, likolo oyo ezali makasi lokola talatala ya ebende banyangwisa na moto?
19 Let us know what we say to Him, We set not in array because of darkness.
Yebisa biso makambo oyo tosengeli koloba na Ye; tokoki koloba likambo moko te mpo na molili na biso.
20 Is it declared to Him that I speak? If a man hath spoken, surely he is swallowed up.
Boni, basengeli koyebisa Ye ete nalingi koloba? Basengeli koyebisa Ye mpo ete ayeba yango?
21 And now, they have not seen the light, Bright it [is] in the clouds, And the wind hath passed by and cleanseth them.
Na pwasa, moto moko te azali komona lisusu pole; ebombami kati na mapata. Kasi soki mopepe eleki, elongoli yango nyonso.
22 From the golden north it cometh, Beside God [is] fearful honour.
Kongenga lokola wolo ezali koya wuta na ngambo ya nor. Nzambe avandi kati na nkembo ya somo.
23 The Mighty! we have not found Him out, High in power and judgment, He doth not answer! And abundant in righteousness,
Azali Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso, tokoki te kokoma esika Ye azali; azali monene na nguya mpe na solo; azali Mokonzi ya sembo, akoki konyokola te moto oyo azali sembo.
24 Therefore do men fear Him, He seeth not any of the wise of heart.
Yango wana bato basengeli kokumisa Ye, kasi Ye atiaka miso na Ye te likolo ya bato oyo bakanisaka ete bazali bato ya bwanya. »
