Yobo 26
1 Yobo azongisaki:
But Job answered and said,
2 « Ah! Tala ndenge osungi moto oyo azangi makasi, ndenge osungi loboko oyo elembi!
To whom do you attach yourself, or whom are you going to assist? is it not he that [has] much strength, and [he] who has a strong arm?
3 Tala toli oyo opesi na moto azangi bwanya, mpe tala ebele na mayele oyo olakisi!
To whom have you given counsel? is it not to him who has all wisdom? whom will you follow? is it not one who has the greatest power?
4 Ozwi maloba oyo wapi? Molimo oyo elobi na monoko na yo ezali ya nani?
To whom have you uttered words? and whose breath is it that has come forth from you?
5 Bakufi balengaka na se ya mayi mpe ya bikelamu oyo ezalaka kuna.
Shall giants be born from under the water and the inhabitants thereof?
Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 Atandaka likolo na esika oyo ezali na eloko moko te, atelemisaka mabele na likolo ya eloko moko te,
He stretches out the north wind upon nothing, and he upon nothing hangs the earth;
8 akangaka mayi kati na mapata, kasi mapata epasukaka te;
binding water in his clouds, and the cloud is not tore under it.
9 azipaka kiti ya bokonzi na Ye, atandaka mapata na likolo na yango;
He keeps back the face of his throne, stretching out his cloud upon it.
10 akataka mondelo na likolo ya mayi, na suka ya pole mpe na molili.
He has encompassed the face of the water by an appointed ordinance, until the end of light and darkness.
11 Makonzi ya Lola ezali kolenga mpe ezali kokamwa na pamela na Ye.
The pillars of heaven are prostrate and astonished at his rebuke.
12 Na nguya na Ye, apasoli ebale monene; mpe na mayele na Ye, abuki-buki Rakabe na biteni.
He has calmed the sea with [his] might, and by [his] wisdom the whale has been overthrown.
13 Na pema na Ye, Likolo ekomaka kitoko, loboko na Ye etobolaka nyoka oyo ekimaka.
And the barriers of heaven fear him, and by a command he has slain the apostate dragon.
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 are parts of his way; and we will listen to him at the least intimation of his word: but the strength of his thunder who knows, when he shall employ [it]?
