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.
To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. On Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found.
2 Yango wana, tobangaka te ata soki mabele eningani, bangomba ekweyi kati na ebale monene;
Therefore will we not fear though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the heart of the seas;
3 ata soki bambonge na yango etelemi, ebimisi fulufulu mpe eningisi bangomba.
Though the waters thereof roar [and] foam, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Selah)
4 Ezali na ebale moko oyo mayi na yango esepelisaka engumba ya Nzambe oyo eleki bule kati na bivandelo ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo.
There is a river the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the sanctuary of the habitations of the Most High.
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 at the dawn of the morning.
6 Bikolo ezali kotomboka, bamboka ezali kokweya; kasi Nzambe atomboli mongongo na Ye, mpe mabele ebukani.
The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, azali elongo na biso; Nzambe ya Jakobi azali ekimelo na biso.
Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. (Selah)
8 Boya kotala misala ya Yawe, makambo minene oyo asalaka kati na mokili.
Come, behold the works of Jehovah, what desolations he hath made in the earth:
9 Asilisaka bitumba kino na basuka ya mokili, akataka batolotolo, abukaka makonga mpe atumbaka na moto bashar ya bitumba.
He hath made wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariots in the 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.
Jehovah of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high fortress. (Selah)
