Banzembo 87

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

A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. A SONG. His foundation [is] in holy mountains.

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

YHWH is loving the gates of Zion Above all the dwelling places of Jacob.

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

Honorable things are spoken in You, O city 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 mention Rahab and Babel to those knowing Me, Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush! This [one] was born there.

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 is said: Each one was born in her, And He, the Most High, establishes 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! »

YHWH recounts in the describing of the peoples, “This [one] was born there.” (Selah)

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

Also singers as players on instruments, All my fountains [are] in You!
