Yobo 27
1 Yobo akobaki koloba:
And Job further continued and said in his parable,
2 « Na Kombo ya Nzambe oyo awangani bosembo na ngai, na Kombo ya Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso oyo atungisi motema na ngai,
[As] God lives, who has thus judge me; and the Almighty, who has embittered my soul;
3 wana ngai nazali nanu na bomoi, mpe pema ya Nzambe ezali nanu na zolo na ngai,
verily, while my breath is yet in [me], and the breath of God which remains to me is in my nostrils,
4 bibebu na ngai ekoloba mabe te, mpe lolemo na ngai ekobimisa lokuta te.
my lips shall not speak evil words, neither shall my soul meditate unrighteous thoughts.
5 Ekozala penza mabe koleka soki ngai nalongisi bino! Kino tango nakokufa, nakotika te kotatola boyengebene na ngai,
Far be it from me that I should justify you till I die; for I will not let go my innocence,
6 nakobatela bosembo na ngai, nakotika yango te; motema na ngai ekotikala kosambisa ngai mokolo moko te.
but keeping fast to [my] righteousness I will by no means let it go: for I am not conscious to myself of having done any thing amiss.
7 Tika ete bayini na ngai bazala lokola bato mabe, mpe banguna na ngai, lokola bato bazangi bosembo!
Nay rather, but let mine enemies be as the overthrow of the ungodly, and they that rise up against me, as the destruction of transgressors.
8 Elikya nini moto mabe azali na yango tango Nzambe azwi bomoi na ye?
For what is the hope of the ungodly, that he holds to it? will he indeed trust in the Lord [and] be saved?
9 Boni, Nzambe ayokaki koganga na ye tango pasi ekomelaki ye?
Will God hear his prayer? or, when distress has come upon him,
10 Boni, akosepela penza na Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso to akobelela lisusu Nzambe tango nyonso?
has he any confidence before him? or will [God] hear him as he calls upon him?
11 Nakoteya bino makambo oyo etali nguya ya Nzambe, nakobomba te nzela ya Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso.
Yet now I will tell you what is in the hand of the Lord: I will not lie concerning the things which are with the Almighty.
12 Bino nyonso, boyebi yango malamu! Bongo mpo na nini bilobaloba ya boye?
Behold, you all know that you are adding vanity to vanity.
13 Tala lifuti oyo Nzambe abongiseli moto mabe, libula oyo moto ya mobulu azwaka epai ya Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso:
This is the portion of an ungodly man from the Lord, and the possession of oppressors shall come upon them from the Almighty.
14 Ata soki bana na ye ya mibali bakomi ebele, mopanga ezali lifuti na bango, bakitani na ye bakokufa na nzala,
And if their children be many, they shall be for slaughter: and if they grow up, they shall beg.
15 bokono oyo ebomaka ekoboma bato na ye, oyo bakotikala na bomoi, mpe basi na bango oyo bakufisa mibali bakolela bango te.
And they that survive of him shall utterly perish, and no one shall pity their widows.
16 Ata soki asangisi palata lokola putulu mpe bilamba lokola mipiku ya mabele,
Even if he should gather silver as earth, and prepare gold as clay;
17 nyonso oyo abongisi, moto ya sembo nde akolata yango, mpe bato oyo basali mabe te nde bakokabola palata na ye.
All these things shall the righteous gain, and the true-hearted shall possess his wealth.
18 Ndako oyo atongi ezali makasi te lokola ndako ya limpulututu, lokola ndako ya matiti oyo mokengeli atongaka.
And his house is gone like moths, and like a spider's web.
19 Akokufa na bozwi, kasi akosala na yango eloko moko te; tango akofungola miso, bozwi na ye nyonso ekozala lisusu te.
The rich man shall lie down, and shall not continue: he has opened his eyes, and he is not.
20 Somo ekozwa ye lokola mayi ya mpela; na butu, mopepe makasi ekopikola ye na mbalakata.
Pains have come upon him as water, and darkness has carried him away by night.
21 Wuta na ngambo ya este, mopepe makasi ekomema ye, mpe akei libela, ekopikola ye na esika na ye.
And a burning wind shall catch him, and he shall depart, and it shall utterly drive him out of his place.
22 Bakobwakela ye makonga na mawa te, ata azali kosala makasi ya kokima loboko ya moto oyo azali kobwakela ye yango.
And [God] shall cast [trouble] upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
23 Bakobetela libebi na ye maboko, mpe bakotiola ye na piololo wuta na ndako na ye moko. »
He shall cause [men] to clap their hands against them, and shall hiss him out of his place.
