Yobo 10
1 Nayini bomoi na ngai! Nakokoba kaka komilela, nakoloba na mongongo makasi mpe na pasi ya motema na ngai.
My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 Nakoloba na Nzambe: ‹ Kokatela ngai etumbu te, yebisa ngai mabe nini nasali! ›
I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; show me wherefore you contend with me.
3 Boni, ozali kosepela konyokola ngai, kobwaka ekelamu oyo maboko na Yo esali, mpe kolongisa mabongisi ya bato mabe?
Is it good unto you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
4 Boni, ozali na miso ya mosuni? Ozali komona lokola bato?
Have you eyes of flesh? or see you as man sees?
5 Boni, mikolo na Yo ezali lokola mikolo ya bato, mpe mibu na yo, lokola mibu ya bato,
Are your days as the days of man? are your years as man's days,
6 mpo ete oluka mabe na ngai to okundola masumu na ngai,
That you enquire after mine iniquity, and search after my sin?
7 atako oyebi malamu ete nasali na ngai mabe te, mpe ete ezali na moto moko te oyo akoki kokangola ngai na loboko na Yo?
You know that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of your hand.
8 Maboko na Yo nde ebongisaki ngai mpe esalaki ngai; olingi sik’oyo kobenda nzoto mpe koboma ngai?
your hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet you do destroy me.
9 Kanisa ete Yo moko nde obongisaki ngai lokola mabele ya bikeko; olingi sik’oyo kozongisa ngai na putulu?
Remember, I plead to you, that you have made me as the clay; and will you bring me into dust again?
10 Osopaki ngai lokola miliki te? Okangisaki ngai mbuma-mbuma te lokola fromage?
Have you not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11 Olatisaki ngai poso ya nzoto mpe misuni te? Otongaki mikuwa mpe misisa na ngai te?
You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and have fenced me with bones and sinews.
12 Opesaki ngai bomoi mpe otalisaki ngai bolamu; mpe na bonzambe na Yo, obatelaki molimo na ngai.
You have granted me life and favour, and your visitation has preserved my spirit.
13 Kasi tala likambo oyo obombaki kati na motema na Yo, mpe nayebi ete ezalaka kati na makanisi na Yo.
And these things have you hid in your heart: I know that this is with you.
14 Soki nasalaki masumu, olingaki komona ngai, mpe olingaki te kozanga kopesa ngai etumbu mpo na masumu na ngai.
If I sin, then you mark me, and you will not acquit me from mine iniquity.
15 Soki nazali na ngambo, wana mawa na ngai! Ata nasali mabe te, nazali kokoka te kotombola moto, pamba te natondisami na soni mpe nazindi kati na pasi na ngai.
If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see you mine affliction;
16 Soki nameki kotombola moto, ozali kolanda ngai lokola nkosi mpe ozali kobimisela ngai mayele na Yo nyonso mpo na kotelemela ngai,
For it increases. You hunt me as a fierce lion: and again you show yourself marvellous upon me.
17 ozali komemela ngai batatoli ya sika mpo na kotelemela ngai, ozali kopelisela ngai kanda na Yo mpo na kosala ngai mabe, mampinga na Yo bazali tango nyonso koya kobundisa ngai.
You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
18 Mpo na nini obimisaki ngai na libumu ya mama na ngai? Nalingaki na ngai kokufa, mpe liso moko te elingaki komona ngai.
Wherefore then have you brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me!
19 Soki kutu nazalaka na ngai te, nalingaki koleka kaka mbala moko longwa na libumu ya mama kino na kunda.
I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 Boni, mwa ndambo ya mikolo na ngai esili te? Kende ata mosika na ngai mpo ete nazwa ata tango ya kosepela
Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
21 liboso ete nakende na esika oyo bato bazongaka lisusu te, na mokili ya molili, mokili ya kufa,
Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
22 na mokili ya molili makasi, ya kufa mpe ya mobulu, epai wapi ata pole ezalaka molili. »
A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
