Yobo 26
1 Yobo azongisaki:
Then Job responded by saying:
2 « Ah! Tala ndenge osungi moto oyo azangi makasi, ndenge osungi loboko oyo elembi!
Whose assistant are you? Is he weak-minded? And do you sustain the arm of him that is not strong?
3 Tala toli oyo opesi na moto azangi bwanya, mpe tala ebele na mayele oyo olakisi!
To whom have you given advice? Perhaps it is to him that has no wisdom or prudence that you have revealed your many ideas.
4 Ozwi maloba oyo wapi? Molimo oyo elobi na monoko na yo ezali ya nani?
Who is it that you wanted to teach? Was it not him that created the breath of life?
5 Bakufi balengaka na se ya mayi mpe ya bikelamu oyo ezalaka kuna.
Behold, giant things groan under the waters, and they dwell with them.
The underworld is naked before him, and there is no covering for perdition. (Sheol h7585)
7 Atandaka likolo na esika oyo ezali na eloko moko te, atelemisaka mabele na likolo ya eloko moko te,
He stretched out the North over emptiness, and he suspended the land over nothing.
8 akangaka mayi kati na mapata, kasi mapata epasukaka te;
He secures the waters in his clouds, so that they do not burst forth downward all at once.
9 azipaka kiti ya bokonzi na Ye, atandaka mapata na likolo na yango;
He holds back the face of his throne, and he stretches his cloud over it.
10 akataka mondelo na likolo ya mayi, na suka ya pole mpe na molili.
He has set limits around the waters, until light and darkness shall reach their limit.
11 Makonzi ya Lola ezali kolenga mpe ezali kokamwa na pamela na Ye.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are frightened at his nod.
12 Na nguya na Ye, apasoli ebale monene; mpe na mayele na Ye, abuki-buki Rakabe na biteni.
By his strength, the seas suddenly gather together, and his foresight has struck the arrogant.
13 Na pema na Ye, Likolo ekomaka kitoko, loboko na Ye etobolaka nyoka oyo ekimaka.
His spirit has adorned the heavens, and his birthing hand has brought forth the winding serpent.
14 Soki makambo wana ezali kaka ndambo moke ya misala na Ye mpe mongongo na Ye ya se oyo toyokaka, nani akoki kososola bakake ya nguya na Ye? »
Behold, these things have been said about his ways in part, and, since we barely have heard a small drop of his word, who will be able to gaze upon the thunder of his greatness?
