Yobo 26
1 Yobo azongisaki:
Then Job answered, and said:
2 « Ah! Tala ndenge osungi moto oyo azangi makasi, ndenge osungi loboko oyo elembi!
Whose helper art thou? is it of him that is weak? and dost thou hold up the arm of him that has no strength?
3 Tala toli oyo opesi na moto azangi bwanya, mpe tala ebele na mayele oyo olakisi!
To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence.
4 Ozwi maloba oyo wapi? Molimo oyo elobi na monoko na yo ezali ya nani?
Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life?
5 Bakufi balengaka na se ya mayi mpe ya bikelamu oyo ezalaka kuna.
Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them.
Hell is naked before him, and there is no covering for destruction. (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 the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8 akangaka mayi kati na mapata, kasi mapata epasukaka te;
He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together.
9 azipaka kiti ya bokonzi na Ye, atandaka mapata na likolo na yango;
He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it.
10 akataka mondelo na likolo ya mayi, na suka ya pole mpe na molili.
He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end.
11 Makonzi ya Lola ezali kolenga mpe ezali kokamwa na pamela na Ye.
The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.
12 Na nguya na Ye, apasoli ebale monene; mpe na mayele na Ye, abuki-buki Rakabe na biteni.
By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one.
13 Na pema na Ye, Likolo ekomaka kitoko, loboko na Ye etobolaka nyoka oyo ekimaka.
His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand 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? »
Lo, these things are said in part of his ways: and seeing we have heard scarce a little drop of his word, who shall be able to behold the thunder of his greatness?
