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 OVERSEER. BY SONS OF KORAH. FOR GIRLS’ [VOICES]. A SONG. God [is] our refuge and strength, A most sure help in adversities.
2 Yango wana, tobangaka te ata soki mabele eningani, bangomba ekweyi kati na ebale monene;
Therefore we do not fear in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas.
3 ata soki bambonge na yango etelemi, ebimisi fulufulu mpe eningisi bangomba.
Roar—troubled are its waters, Mountains shake in its pride. (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—its streams make glad the city of God, Your holy place of the dwelling places 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 is not moved, God helps her at the turn of the morning!
6 Bikolo ezali kotomboka, bamboka ezali kokweya; kasi Nzambe atomboli mongongo na Ye, mpe mabele ebukani.
Nations have been troubled, Kingdoms have been moved, He has given forth with His voice—earth melts.
7 Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, azali elongo na biso; Nzambe ya Jakobi azali ekimelo na biso.
YHWH of Hosts [is] with us, The God of Jacob [is] a tower for us. (Selah)
8 Boya kotala misala ya Yawe, makambo minene oyo asalaka kati na mokili.
Come, see the works of YHWH, Who has done astonishing things in the earth,
9 Asilisaka bitumba kino na basuka ya mokili, akataka batolotolo, abukaka makonga mpe atumbaka na moto bashar ya bitumba.
Causing wars to cease, To the end of the earth, He shatters the bow, And He has cut apart the spear, He burns chariots with fire.
10 Alobaki: « Bovanda kimia, boyeba ete ngai nazali Nzambe; nakonzaka bikolo, nakonzaka mpe mokili. »
Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.
11 Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, azali elongo na biso; Nzambe ya Jakobi azali ekimelo na biso.
YHWH of hosts [is] with us, The God of Jacob [is] a tower for us! (Selah)
