< 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 for the sons of Korah, A Song upon 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 will we not fear, though the earth shall be removed, and though the mountains shall be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 ata soki bambonge na yango etelemi, ebimisi fulufulu mpe eningisi bangomba.
Though its waters shall roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its 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 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.
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, behold the works of the LORD, 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 to the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear asunder; 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.
The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
