Yobo 26
1 Yobo azongisaki:
Then answered Job, and said,
2 « Ah! Tala ndenge osungi moto oyo azangi makasi, ndenge osungi loboko oyo elembi!
What assistance hast thou given to the powerless? [how] hast thou helped the arm without strength?
3 Tala toli oyo opesi na moto azangi bwanya, mpe tala ebele na mayele oyo olakisi!
How hast thou counselled the unwise? and what sound wisdom hast thou made known so plentifully?
4 Ozwi maloba oyo wapi? Molimo oyo elobi na monoko na yo ezali ya nani?
To whom hast thou told words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 Bakufi balengaka na se ya mayi mpe ya bikelamu oyo ezalaka kuna.
The departed are called into being beneath the waters, and their inhabitants.
Naked is the nether world before him, and there is no covering for the place of corruption. (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 empty space; he suspended the earth on nothing;
8 akangaka mayi kati na mapata, kasi mapata epasukaka te;
He bound up the waters in his clouds; and the cloud bursteth not under their weight;
9 azipaka kiti ya bokonzi na Ye, atandaka mapata na likolo na yango;
He closed up the surface of his throne, spreading over it his cloud;
10 akataka mondelo na likolo ya mayi, na suka ya pole mpe na molili.
A fixed limit he compassed off over the face of the waters, for the division of the light and darkness.
11 Makonzi ya Lola ezali kolenga mpe ezali kokamwa na pamela na Ye.
The pillars of heaven tremble greatly, and are astounded at his rebuke.
12 Na nguya na Ye, apasoli ebale monene; mpe na mayele na Ye, abuki-buki Rakabe na biteni.
By his power he split in pieces the sea, and by his understanding he crushed [its] pride:
13 Na pema na Ye, Likolo ekomaka kitoko, loboko na Ye etobolaka nyoka oyo ekimaka.
By his breath the heavens [acquired] beauty; his hand hath created the flying 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 ends of his ways; for how slight a whisper is heard [by us] of him! but the thunder of his mighty deeds who can understand?
