< 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.
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 not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 ata soki bambonge na yango etelemi, ebimisi fulufulu mpe eningisi bangomba.
Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, 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 shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles 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, and that right early.
6 Bikolo ezali kotomboka, bamboka ezali kokweya; kasi Nzambe atomboli mongongo na Ye, mpe mabele ebukani.
The heathen 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.
Yhwh of Armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
8 Boya kotala misala ya Yawe, makambo minene oyo asalaka kati na mokili.
Come, behold the works of Yhwh, 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 maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot 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 heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
11 Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, azali elongo na biso; Nzambe ya Jakobi azali ekimelo na biso.
Yhwh of Armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
