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 music director by the sons of Korah. According to alamoth, a song. God is our protection and our strength; always ready to help when troubles come.
2 Yango wana, tobangaka te ata soki mabele eningani, bangomba ekweyi kati na ebale monene;
So we will not be afraid though the earth shakes, though the mountains fall into the depths of the sea,
3 ata soki bambonge na yango etelemi, ebimisi fulufulu mpe eningisi bangomba.
though the waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble as the waters surge violently! (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.
A river flows to bring happiness to those in God's city, the holy place where the Most High lives.
5 Nzambe azali kati na yango, ebukani te; Nzambe asungaka yango wuta na tongo makasi.
God is in the midst of the city; it will never fall. God protects it as soon as it is light.
6 Bikolo ezali kotomboka, bamboka ezali kokweya; kasi Nzambe atomboli mongongo na Ye, mpe mabele ebukani.
Nations are in turmoil, kingdoms collapse. God raises his voice and the earth melts.
7 Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, azali elongo na biso; Nzambe ya Jakobi azali ekimelo na biso.
The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob protects us. (Selah)
8 Boya kotala misala ya Yawe, makambo minene oyo asalaka kati na mokili.
Come and see what the Lord has achieved! See the amazing things he has done on the earth!
9 Asilisaka bitumba kino na basuka ya mokili, akataka batolotolo, abukaka makonga mpe atumbaka na moto bashar ya bitumba.
He stops wars all over the world. He smashes the bow; he breaks the spear; he sets shields on fire.
10 Alobaki: « Bovanda kimia, boyeba ete ngai nazali Nzambe; nakonzaka bikolo, nakonzaka mpe mokili. »
Stop fighting! Recognize I am God! I am the ruler of the nations; I am the ruler of the earth.
11 Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, azali elongo na biso; Nzambe ya Jakobi azali ekimelo na biso.
The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob protects us. (Selah)
