< Yobo 26 >
2 « Ah! Tala ndenge osungi moto oyo azangi makasi, ndenge osungi loboko oyo elembi!
"How have you helped him who is without power. How have you saved the arm that has no strength.
3 Tala toli oyo opesi na moto azangi bwanya, mpe tala ebele na mayele oyo olakisi!
How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge.
4 Ozwi maloba oyo wapi? Molimo oyo elobi na monoko na yo ezali ya nani?
To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came forth from you?
5 Bakufi balengaka na se ya mayi mpe ya bikelamu oyo ezalaka kuna.
"Those who are deceased tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
6 Liboso ya Nzambe, mboka ya bakufi ezali bolumbu, mpe libulu ya molili ezali polele. (Sheol )
Sheol is naked before him, and Abaddon has no covering. (Sheol )
7 Atandaka likolo na esika oyo ezali na eloko moko te, atelemisaka mabele na likolo ya eloko moko te,
He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
8 akangaka mayi kati na mapata, kasi mapata epasukaka te;
He binds 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;
He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
10 akataka mondelo na likolo ya mayi, na suka ya pole mpe na molili.
He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
11 Makonzi ya Lola ezali kolenga mpe ezali kokamwa na pamela na Ye.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 Na nguya na Ye, apasoli ebale monene; mpe na mayele na Ye, abuki-buki Rakabe na biteni.
He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
13 Na pema na Ye, Likolo ekomaka kitoko, loboko na Ye etobolaka nyoka oyo ekimaka.
By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift 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? »
Look, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him. But the thunder of his power who can understand?"
