Yobo 26
1 Yobo azongisaki:
But Job answered and said,
2 « Ah! Tala ndenge osungi moto oyo azangi makasi, ndenge osungi loboko oyo elembi!
How have you helped him that is without power? how save you 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 counselled him that has no wisdom? and how have you plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 Ozwi maloba oyo wapi? Molimo oyo elobi na monoko na yo ezali ya nani?
To whom have you uttered words? and whose spirit came from you?
5 Bakufi balengaka na se ya mayi mpe ya bikelamu oyo ezalaka kuna.
Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
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 the empty place, and hangs the earth upon 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 rent under them.
9 azipaka kiti ya bokonzi na Ye, atandaka mapata na likolo na yango;
He holds back the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud upon it.
10 akataka mondelo na likolo ya mayi, na suka ya pole mpe na molili.
He has compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
11 Makonzi ya Lola ezali kolenga mpe ezali kokamwa na pamela na Ye.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12 Na nguya na Ye, apasoli ebale monene; mpe na mayele na Ye, abuki-buki Rakabe na biteni.
He divides the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through the proud.
13 Na pema na Ye, Likolo ekomaka kitoko, loboko na Ye etobolaka nyoka oyo ekimaka.
By his spirit he has garnished the heavens; his hand has formed the crooked 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 parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
