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 Leader; a Psalm of the sons of Korah; upon Alamoth. A Song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Yango wana, tobangaka te ata soki mabele eningani, bangomba ekweyi kati na ebale monene;
Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, and though the mountains be moved 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 at 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 holiest dwelling-place 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 approach of morning.
6 Bikolo ezali kotomboka, bamboka ezali kokweya; kasi Nzambe atomboli mongongo na Ye, mpe mabele ebukani.
Nations were in tumult, 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.
The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
8 Boya kotala misala ya Yawe, makambo minene oyo asalaka kati na mokili.
Come, behold the works of the LORD, who hath made desolations in the earth.
9 Asilisaka bitumba kino na basuka ya mokili, akataka batolotolo, abukaka makonga mpe atumbaka na moto bashar ya bitumba.
He maketh 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. »
'Let be, 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 high tower. (Selah)
