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: by the sons of Korach, upon 'Alamoth, a song.” God is our protection 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, even when the earth is transformed, and when mountains are moved into the heart of the seas;
3 ata soki bambonge na yango etelemi, ebimisi fulufulu mpe eningisi bangomba.
[When] the waters thereof roar and foam, when mountains quake before his majesty. (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, its rivulets cause to rejoice the city of God, the sanctuary of the dwellings of the Most High.
5 Nzambe azali kati na yango, ebukani te; Nzambe asungaka yango wuta na tongo makasi.
God is in her midst; she shall not be moved: God will ever help her, at the dawning of [her] morning.
6 Bikolo ezali kotomboka, bamboka ezali kokweya; kasi Nzambe atomboli mongongo na Ye, mpe mabele ebukani.
Nations rage, kingdoms are moved: he letteth his voice be heard, the earth melteth away.
7 Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, azali elongo na biso; Nzambe ya Jakobi azali ekimelo na biso.
The Lord of hosts is with us; a defense unto us is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
8 Boya kotala misala ya Yawe, makambo minene oyo asalaka kati na mokili.
Come, look at the deeds of the Lord, who hath made desolations on the earth.
9 Asilisaka bitumba kino na basuka ya mokili, akataka batolotolo, abukaka makonga mpe atumbaka na moto bashar ya bitumba.
He causeth wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in pieces; he burneth wagons in the fire.
10 Alobaki: « Bovanda kimia, boyeba ete ngai nazali Nzambe; nakonzaka bikolo, nakonzaka mpe mokili. »
Leave off, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted on 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; a defence unto us is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
