< Psalms 14 >

1 For the end, Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted [themselves], and become abominable in their devices; there is none that does goodness, there is not even so much as one.
Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Nkua buvulu wuntubanga mu ntimꞌandi ti: Kuisiko Nzambi! Baki bivisidi, mavanga mawu madi mambimbi; kuisiko mutu wumvanganga mamboti.
2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after god.
Yave, ku yilu ku kadi, wulembo tadi bana ba batu mu tala kani wulenda mona wumosi wunsundika, kani wumosi wuntombanga Nzambi.
3 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become good for nothing, there is none that does good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood: destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.
Baboso bavengama ayi bamana kibivisa va kimosi; kuisiko mutu wumvanganga mamboti, kadi mutu wumosi.
4 Will not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon the Lord.
Batu boso bamvanganga mambu mambimbi basi nzayilu ko e? Bobo balembo dia batu bama, banga batu bandia dipha ayi bobo batelanga dizina di Yave ko.
5 There were they alarmed with fear, where there was no fear; for God is in the righteous generation.
Buna kuna bela tita mu diambu di tsisi bila Nzambi widi va khatitsika dikabu di batu basonga.
6 You have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his hope.
Beno mimvangi mi mambimbi, lulenda vunza zikhanu zi nsukami. Vayi Yave niandi suamunu kiandi.
7 Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Sion? when the Lord brings back the captivity of his people, let Jacob exult, and Israel be glad.
A enati phulusu yi Iseli yitotukila ku Sioni! Mu thangu Yave kela vutula kiuka ki batu bandi Bika Yakobi kamona khini ayi Iseli kayangadala.
