Banzembo 125

1 Nzembo ya mobembo mpo na kokende na Ndako ya Yawe. Bato oyo batiaka elikya kati na Yawe bazali lokola ngomba Siona oyo eninganaka te, oyo epikama mpo na libela.

Those who trust in Jehovah are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

2 Ndenge bangomba ezingeli Yelusalemi, ndenge wana mpe Yawe azingeli bato na Ye, kobanda sik’oyo kino libela na libela.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so Jehovah is round about his people from this time forth and for evermore.

3 Bokonzi ya mabe ekowumela te na etuka ya bato ya sembo, mpo ete basangana te na mabe.

For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous, that the righteous not put forth their hands to iniquity.

4 Yawe, zala malamu mpo na bato malamu mpe mpo na bato oyo bazali alima na mitema!

Do good, O Jehovah, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts.

5 Kasi tika ete Yawe abengana bato ya kilikili elongo na bato ya misala mabe! Tika ete kimia ezala na Isalaele!

But as for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.
