< Mosakoli 11 >
1 Bwaka lipa na yo na likolo ya mayi, pamba te sima na mikolo ebele, okomona yango lisusu.
Sende thi breed on watris passynge forth, for aftir many tymes thou schalt fynde it.
2 Kaba biloko na yo na bato sambo to mwambe, pamba te oyebi te pasi nini ekoki koya na mokili.
Yyue thou partis seuene, and also eiyte; for thou woost not, what yuel schal come on erthe.
3 Soki mapata etondi na mayi, ebetisaka mvula na mokili. Nzete etikalaka kaka na esika oyo ekweyi, ezala na ngambo ya sude to na ngambo ya nor.
If cloudis ben filled, tho schulen schede out reyn on the erthe; if a tre fallith doun to the south, ether to the north, in what euer place it fallith doun, there it schal be.
4 Moto oyo atalaka mopepe akolona nkona te, moto oyo atalaka mapata akobuka bambuma te.
He that aspieth the wynd, sowith not; and he that biholdith the cloudis, schal neuere repe.
5 Ndenge oyebi te nzela ya mopepe to ndenge nini moto asalemaka kati na libumu ya mama na ye, ndenge wana mpe okokoka te kososola misala ya Nzambe oyo azali Mokeli ya nyonso.
As thou knowist not, which is the weye of the spirit, and bi what resoun boonys ben ioyned togidere in the wombe of a womman with childe, so thou knowist not the werkis of God, which is makere of alle thingis.
6 Na tongo, lona milona na yo, mpe na pokwa, kopemisa maboko na yo te, pamba te oyebi te milona nini ekobima, ya tongo to ya pokwa to mpe nyonso mibale ekobima malamu.
Eerli sowe thi seed, and thin hond ceesse not in the euentid; for thou woost not, what schal come forth more, this ethir that; and if euer eithir cometh forth togidere, it schal be the betere.
7 Pole ezali malamu, mpe miso esepelaka komona moyi.
The liyt is sweet, and delitable to the iyen to se the sunne.
8 Yango wana, soki moto asali mibu ebele na bomoi, tika ye asepela na mibu yango nyonso; kasi tika ete abosana te ete mibu ya pasi ekozala ebele, mpe ete makambo nyonso oyo ekoya sima ezali pamba.
If a man lyueth many yeeris, and is glad in alle these, he owith to haue mynde of derk tyme, and of many daies; and whanne tho schulen come, thingis passid schulen be repreued of vanyte.
9 Elenge, sepela na bolenge na yo, mpe tika ete motema na yo esepela na mikolo ya bolenge na yo! Landa nzela ya motema na yo mpe nyonso oyo esepelisaka miso na yo; kasi yeba ete, mpo na makambo wana nyonso, Nzambe akosambisa yo.
Therfor, thou yonge man, be glad in thi yongthe, and thin herte be in good in the daies of thi yongthe, and go thou in the weies of thin herte, and in the biholdyng of thin iyen; and wite thou, that for alle these thingis God shal brynge thee in to doom.
10 Yango wana, longola mawa na motema na yo, longola pasi na nzoto na yo; pamba te bolenge mpe bomwana ezali pamba.
Do thou awei ire fro thin herte, and remoue thou malice fro thi fleisch; for whi yongthe and lust ben veyne thingis.
