Psalms 53

1 For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath. A Maskil of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their ways are vile. There is no one who does good.

Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi; kayimbidila mu flute. Nkua buvulu wuntubanga mu ntimꞌandi: “kuisiko Nzambi.” Bakibivisidi, zinzila ziawu zidi zimbimbi; kuisiko mutu wumvanganga mamboti.

2 God looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.

Nzambi, wulembo tadi tona ku Diyilu bana ba batu mu diambu di tala kani valenda ba batu balenda sudika; bobo bantomba Nzambi.

3 All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

Batu boso bamana zimbala, bamana kibivisa va kimosi. Kuisiko kadi wumosi wumvanganga mamboti, kadi kuandi wumosi.

4 Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon God.

Bobo bamvanganga mambimbi, basudikanga ko e? Bawu balembo dia batu bama banga bu beti dila dipha; ayi batelanga Nzambi ko.

5 There they are, overwhelmed with dread, where there was nothing to fear. For God has scattered the bones of those who besieged you. You put them to shame, for God has despised them.

Kuna batitila mu diambu di tsisi va buangu ki kondolo bila kimonina tsisi; Nzambi wukosikisa mimvesi mi batu bobo banuanisa; ngeyo wuba fuisa tsoni bila Nzambi wuba lenza.

6 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When God restores His captive people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!

A, enati phulusu yi Iseli yitotukila ku Sioni! Mu thangu Nzambi kela vutula kiuka ki batu bandi; bika Yakobi kamona khini ayi Iseli kayangalala.
