Yobo 26

1 Yobo azongisaki:

And Job answers and says:

2 « Ah! Tala ndenge osungi moto oyo azangi makasi, ndenge osungi loboko oyo elembi!

“How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!

3 Tala toli oyo opesi na moto azangi bwanya, mpe tala ebele na mayele oyo olakisi!

How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.

4 Ozwi maloba oyo wapi? Molimo oyo elobi na monoko na yo ezali ya nani?

With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?

5 Bakufi balengaka na se ya mayi mpe ya bikelamu oyo ezalaka kuna.

The Rephaim are formed, Also their inhabitants beneath the waters.

6 Liboso ya Nzambe, mboka ya bakufi ezali bolumbu, mpe libulu ya molili ezali polele. (Sheol h7585)

Sheol [is] naked before Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol h7585)

7 Atandaka likolo na esika oyo ezali na eloko moko te, atelemisaka mabele na likolo ya eloko moko te,

Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,

8 akangaka mayi kati na mapata, kasi mapata epasukaka te;

Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.

9 azipaka kiti ya bokonzi na Ye, atandaka mapata na likolo na yango;

Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.

10 akataka mondelo na likolo ya mayi, na suka ya pole mpe na molili.

He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.

11 Makonzi ya Lola ezali kolenga mpe ezali kokamwa na pamela na Ye.

Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.

12 Na nguya na Ye, apasoli ebale monene; mpe na mayele na Ye, abuki-buki Rakabe na biteni.

By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.

13 Na pema na Ye, Likolo ekomaka kitoko, loboko na Ye etobolaka nyoka oyo ekimaka.

He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has formed the fleeing 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? »

Behold, these [are] the borders of His way, and how little a matter is heard of Him, and who understands the thunder of His might?”
