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.

They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth

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

In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.

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

For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch 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 Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.

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

But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.
