Yobo 32
1 Bato wana misato batikaki koyanola Yobo, pamba te azalaki komimona sembo na miso na ye moko.
And these three men cease from answering Job, for he [is] righteous in his own eyes,
2 Kasi Eliwu, mwana mobali ya Barakeyeli, moto ya libota ya Buzi mpe ya etuka ya Rami, asilikelaki Yobo makasi, pamba te amimonaki sembo koleka Nzambe.
and the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite burns, of the family of Ram; his anger has burned against Job, because of his justifying himself more than God;
3 Asilikelaki mpe baninga misato ya Yobo, pamba te balongaki te kopesa Yobo eyano oyo esengeli; nzokande bakweyisaki Nzambe.
and his anger has burned against his three friends, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job.
4 Eliwu awelaki te koloba moto ya liboso epai ya Yobo, pamba te baninga wana misato ya Yobo bazalaki mikolo na ye na mibu ya mbotama.
And Elihu has waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days.
5 Kasi tango Eliwu amonaki ete bato wana misato bazali lisusu na likambo ya koloba te, asilikaki makasi.
And Elihu sees that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burns.
6 Boye Eliwu, mwana mobali ya Barakeyeli, moto ya libota ya Buzi, alobaki: « Nazali leki na mibu ya mbotama, mpe bino bozali mikolo; yango wana nazalaki kobanga mpe nazangaki makasi ya koloba na bino makambo oyo ngai nayebi.
And Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answers and says: “I [am] young in days, and you [are] aged; Therefore I have feared, And am afraid of showing you my opinion.
7 Nazalaki komilobela: ‹ Bato oyo bazali na mibu ebele ya mbotama bakoyeba koloba, pamba te kozala na mibu ebele epesaka bwanya. ›
I said, Days speak, And a multitude of years teach wisdom.
8 Nzokande, kati na moto, ezali nde molimo, ezali pema ya Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso nde epesaka moto boyebi.
Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Causes them to understand.
9 Ezali kaka mibange te nde bazali na bwanya, mpe ezali kaka bampaka te nde basosolaka makambo oyo ezali sembo.
The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.
10 Yango wana nalobi: Boyoka ngai, ngai mpe nakoloba na bino makambo oyo nayebi.
Therefore I have said: Listen to me, I show my opinion—even I.
11 Tango bino bozalaki koloba, ngai nazalaki koloba te, nazalaki koyoka makanisi na bino, wana bozalaki koluka makambo ya koloba.
Behold, I have waited for your words, I give ear to your reasons, Until you search out sayings.
12 Nalandaki bino na bokebi nyonso; moko te kati na bino amoni mabe ya Yobo, moko te kati na bino alongi makanisi ya Yobo.
And to you I attend, And behold, there is no reasoner for Job, [Or] answerer of his sayings among you.
13 Boloba te: ‹ Tomoni bwanya; Nzambe kaka nde akoki kolonga ye, kasi moto te. ›
Lest you say, We have found wisdom, God thrusts him away, not man.
14 Lokola Yobo alobaki maloba na ye epai na ngai te, ngai mpe nakosalela makanisi na bino te mpo na kozongisela ye eyano.
And he has not set words in array for me, And I do not answer him with your sayings.
15 Bayoki soni, batikali ata na liloba moko te ya koloba, makambo ya koloba esili bango na minoko!
(They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed words from themselves.
16 Boni, nasengeli sik’oyo kozela, awa bazangi maloba to basuki wana mpe bakangi minoko?
And I have waited, but they do not speak, For they have stood still, They have not answered anymore.)
17 Ngai mpe nakoloba sik’oyo, nakoloba makambo oyo nayebi.
I answer, even I—my share, I show my opinion—even I.
18 Lokola maloba ebele etondi kati na ngai, motema na ngai ezali kopela lokola moto.
For I have been full of words, The spirit of my breast has distressed me,
19 Kati na ngai, nazali lokola mbeki ya vino oyo ezali kotoka, lokola mbeki ya vino ya sika oyo ekomi pene ya kopasuka.
Behold, my breast [is] as wine not opened, It is broken up like new bottles.
20 Nakoloba mpo ete motema na ngai ekita, nakofungola bibebu na ngai mpo ete nayanola.
I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I open my lips and answer.
21 Nakopona bilongi te, nakobondela mpe moto moko te;
Please do not let me accept the face of any, Nor give flattering titles to man,
22 pamba te, soki nayebaki kobondela bato, Mokeli na ngai alingaki kolongola ngai mbala moko.
For I have not known to give flattering titles, My Maker takes me away in a little.”
