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 Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth.] 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 we won't be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;

3 ata soki bambonge na yango etelemi, ebimisi fulufulu mpe eningisi bangomba.

though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. (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 of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents 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 help her at dawn.

6 Bikolo ezali kotomboka, bamboka ezali kokweya; kasi Nzambe atomboli mongongo na Ye, mpe mabele ebukani.

The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice, and 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 refuge. (Selah)

8 Boya kotala misala ya Yawe, makambo minene oyo asalaka kati na mokili.

Come, see the LORD's works, what desolations he has made in the earth.

9 Asilisaka bitumba kino na basuka ya mokili, akataka batolotolo, abukaka makonga mpe atumbaka na moto bashar ya bitumba.

He makes wars cease throughout the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots 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 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 refuge. (Selah)
