Banzembo 87

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

Of [the] sons of Korah a psalm a song foundation his [is] among [the] mountains of holiness.

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

[is] loving Yahweh [the] gates of Zion more than all [the] dwelling places of Jacob.

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

Glorious [things] [is] 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 will bring to remembrance - Rahab and Babylon to [those who] know me there! Philistia and Tyre with Cush this one it 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 will be said a person and a person he was born in it and he he will establish it [the] Most High.

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! »

Yahweh he will count when records peoples this one he was born there (Selah)

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

And singers like pipers all springs my [are] in you.
