Banzembo 87

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

His foundation is in the holy mountains.

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

The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

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

Glorious things are spoken of 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 make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man 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 shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish 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 he writes up the people, that this man was born there. (Selah)

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

As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in you.
