< Yobo 26 >
Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,
2 « Ah! Tala ndenge osungi moto oyo azangi makasi, ndenge osungi loboko oyo elembi!
Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
3 Tala toli oyo opesi na moto azangi bwanya, mpe tala ebele na mayele oyo olakisi!
Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.
4 Ozwi maloba oyo wapi? Molimo oyo elobi na monoko na yo ezali ya nani?
To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
5 Bakufi balengaka na se ya mayi mpe ya bikelamu oyo ezalaka kuna.
The dead things are formed vnder the waters, and neere vnto them.
6 Liboso ya Nzambe, mboka ya bakufi ezali bolumbu, mpe libulu ya molili ezali polele. (Sheol )
The graue is naked before him, and there is no couering for destruction. (Sheol )
7 Atandaka likolo na esika oyo ezali na eloko moko te, atelemisaka mabele na likolo ya eloko moko te,
He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.
8 akangaka mayi kati na mapata, kasi mapata epasukaka te;
He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.
9 azipaka kiti ya bokonzi na Ye, atandaka mapata na likolo na yango;
He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.
10 akataka mondelo na likolo ya mayi, na suka ya pole mpe na molili.
He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.
11 Makonzi ya Lola ezali kolenga mpe ezali kokamwa na pamela na Ye.
The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.
12 Na nguya na Ye, apasoli ebale monene; mpe na mayele na Ye, abuki-buki Rakabe na biteni.
The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.
13 Na pema na Ye, Likolo ekomaka kitoko, loboko na Ye etobolaka nyoka oyo ekimaka.
His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked 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? »
Loe, these are part of his wayes: but how litle a portion heare we of him? and who can vnderstand his fearefull power?
