< Psalms 121 >
1 A Song of degrees. I lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: whence shall my help come?
Nzembo ya mobembo tango bazalaki kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe. Natomboli miso na ngai na ngambo ya bangomba: lisungi na ngai ekowuta wapi?
2 My help [cometh] from Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.
Lisungi na ngai ewutaka na Yawe oyo akela likolo mpe mabele.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Akotika te ete lokolo na yo eselumuka; Ye oyo abatelaka yo animbaka te.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
Te, Ye oyo abatelaka Isalaele animbaka te mpe alalaka pongi te!
5 Jehovah is thy keeper, Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand;
Yawe azali mobateli na yo; Yawe azali, na ngambo ya loboko na yo ya mobali, lokola elili oyo ebatelaka yo.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
Ezala na moyi to na butu, moyi mpe sanza ekosala yo mabe ata moke te!
7 Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; he will keep thy soul.
Yawe akobatela yo na mabe nyonso, akobatela bomoi na yo;
8 Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth and for evermore.
Yawe akobatela kokende mpe kozonga na yo, sik’oyo mpe libela na libela.
