Banzembo 87

1 Nzembo ya bana ya Kore. Yawe atia moboko ya Siona na likolo ya bangomba ya bule.

A Psalme or song committed to the sonnes of Korah. God layde his foundations among the holy mountaines.

2 Yawe alingaka bikuke ya Siona koleka bandako nyonso ya Jakobi.

The Lord loueth the gates of Zion aboue all the habitations of Iaakob.

3 Oh engumba ya Nzambe, maloba ya nkembo ezali kolobama na tina na yo!

Glorious things are spoken of thee, O citie of God. (Selah)

4 Kati na bato oyo bayebi ngai, natangi Rahavi mpe Babiloni. Ezali kuna na Siona nde Filisitia, Tiri mpe Kushi ebimela.

I will make mention of Rahab and Babel among them that knowe me: beholde Palestina and Tyrus with Ethiopia, There is he borne.

5 Na tina na Siona, maloba oyo ekolobama: « Bato nyonso babimela awa, mpe ezali Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo nde alendisaka yango. »

And of Zion it shall be sayde, Many are borne in her: and he, euen the most High shall stablish her.

6 Tango Yawe akomaki kati na buku ya bikolo, akomaki boye mpo na moko na moko kati na bango: « Moto songolo abotama kati na Siona! »

The Lord shall count, when hee writeth the people, He was borne there. (Selah)

7 Mpe tango bayembaka mpe babinaka, balobaka: « Bitima na ngai nyonso ezali kati na yo! »

Aswell the singers as the players on instruments shall prayse thee: all my springs are in thee.
