Banzembo 46
1 Nzembo ya bana ya Kore. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki na mongongo moke ya bilenge basi. Mpo na biso, Nzambe azali ebombamelo mpe eyekamelo, azali lisungi oyo ezangaka te na tango ya pasi.
For the end, for the sons of Core; a Psalm concerning secret things. God is our refuge and strength, a help in the afflictions that have come heavily upon us.
2 Yango wana, tobangaka te ata soki mabele eningani, bangomba ekweyi kati na ebale monene;
Therefore will we not fear when the earth is troubled, and the mountains are removed into the depths of the seas.
3 ata soki bambonge na yango etelemi, ebimisi fulufulu mpe eningisi bangomba.
Their waters have roared and been troubled, the mountains have been troubled by his might. (Pause)
4 Ezali na ebale moko oyo mayi na yango esepelisaka engumba ya Nzambe oyo eleki bule kati na bivandelo ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo.
The flowings of the river gladden the city of God: the Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.
5 Nzambe azali kati na yango, ebukani te; Nzambe asungaka yango wuta na tongo makasi.
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her with his countenance.
6 Bikolo ezali kotomboka, bamboka ezali kokweya; kasi Nzambe atomboli mongongo na Ye, mpe mabele ebukani.
The nations were troubled, the kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, the earth shook.
7 Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, azali elongo na biso; Nzambe ya Jakobi azali ekimelo na biso.
The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper. (Pause)
8 Boya kotala misala ya Yawe, makambo minene oyo asalaka kati na mokili.
Come, and behold the works of the Lord, what wonders he has achieved on the earth.
9 Asilisaka bitumba kino na basuka ya mokili, akataka batolotolo, abukaka makonga mpe atumbaka na moto bashar ya bitumba.
Putting an end to wars as for the ends of the earth; he will crush the bow, and break in pieces the weapon, and burn the bucklers with fire.
10 Alobaki: « Bovanda kimia, boyeba ete ngai nazali Nzambe; nakonzaka bikolo, nakonzaka mpe mokili. »
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
11 Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, azali elongo na biso; Nzambe ya Jakobi azali ekimelo na biso.
The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper.
