Yobo 26
1 Yobo azongisaki:
But Job answered and said,
2 « Ah! Tala ndenge osungi moto oyo azangi makasi, ndenge osungi loboko oyo elembi!
How hast thou helped [him that is] without power? [how] savest thou the arm [that hath] no strength?
3 Tala toli oyo opesi na moto azangi bwanya, mpe tala ebele na mayele oyo olakisi!
How hast thou counselled [him that hath] no wisdom? and [how] hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 Ozwi maloba oyo wapi? Molimo oyo elobi na monoko na yo ezali ya nani?
To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 Bakufi balengaka na se ya mayi mpe ya bikelamu oyo ezalaka kuna.
Dead [things] are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
Hell [is] naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Atandaka likolo na esika oyo ezali na eloko moko te, atelemisaka mabele na likolo ya eloko moko te,
He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, [and] hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8 akangaka mayi kati na mapata, kasi mapata epasukaka te;
He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 azipaka kiti ya bokonzi na Ye, atandaka mapata na likolo na yango;
He holdeth back the face of his throne, [and] spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 akataka mondelo na likolo ya mayi, na suka ya pole mpe na molili.
He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
11 Makonzi ya Lola ezali kolenga mpe ezali kokamwa na pamela na Ye.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12 Na nguya na Ye, apasoli ebale monene; mpe na mayele na Ye, abuki-buki Rakabe na biteni.
He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13 Na pema na Ye, Likolo ekomaka kitoko, loboko na Ye etobolaka nyoka oyo ekimaka.
By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; 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? »
Lo, these [are] parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
