< Psalms 121 >
1 A Song of the Ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, Whence doth 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 [is] from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
Lisungi na ngai ewutaka na Yawe oyo akela likolo mpe mabele.
3 He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not.
Akotika te ete lokolo na yo eselumuka; Ye oyo abatelaka yo animbaka te.
4 Lo, He slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, He who is preserving Israel.
Te, Ye oyo abatelaka Isalaele animbaka te mpe alalaka pongi te!
5 Jehovah [is] thy preserver, Jehovah [is] thy shade on thy right hand,
Yawe azali mobateli na yo; Yawe azali, na ngambo ya loboko na yo ya mobali, lokola elili oyo ebatelaka yo.
6 By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night.
Ezala na moyi to na butu, moyi mpe sanza ekosala yo mabe ata moke te!
7 Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.
Yawe akobatela yo na mabe nyonso, akobatela bomoi na yo;
8 Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!
Yawe akobatela kokende mpe kozonga na yo, sik’oyo mpe libela na libela.
