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.
Unto the end, for the sons of Core, for the hidden. Our God is our refuge and strength: a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.
2 Yango wana, tobangaka te ata soki mabele eningani, bangomba ekweyi kati na ebale monene;
Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.
3 ata soki bambonge na yango etelemi, ebimisi fulufulu mpe eningisi bangomba.
Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with his strength.
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 stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle.
5 Nzambe azali kati na yango, ebukani te; Nzambe asungaka yango wuta na tongo makasi.
God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: God will help it in the morning early.
6 Bikolo ezali kotomboka, bamboka ezali kokweya; kasi Nzambe atomboli mongongo na Ye, mpe mabele ebukani.
Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.
7 Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, azali elongo na biso; Nzambe ya Jakobi azali ekimelo na biso.
The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
8 Boya kotala misala ya Yawe, makambo minene oyo asalaka kati na mokili.
Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon earth,
9 Asilisaka bitumba kino na basuka ya mokili, akataka batolotolo, abukaka makonga mpe atumbaka na moto bashar ya bitumba.
Making wars to cease even to the end of the earth. He shall destroy the bow, and break the weapons: and the shield he shall burn in the fire.
10 Alobaki: « Bovanda kimia, boyeba ete ngai nazali Nzambe; nakonzaka bikolo, nakonzaka mpe mokili. »
Be still and see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and 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 armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
