Psalms 14

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They were corrupted, and they have become abominable in their studies. There is no one who does good; there is not even 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 has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any who were considering or seeking God.

Yave, ku yilu ku kadi, wulembo tadi bana ba batu mu tala kani wulenda mona wumosi wunsundika, kani wumosi wuntombanga Nzambi.

3 They have all gone astray; together they have become useless. There is no one who does good; there is not even one. Their throat is an open sepulcher. With their tongues, they have been acting deceitfully; the venom of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood. Grief and unhappiness 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 they never learn: all those who work iniquity, who devour my people like a meal of bread?

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 They have not called upon the Lord. There, they have trembled in fear, where there was no fear.

Buna kuna bela tita mu diambu di tsisi bila Nzambi widi va khatitsika dikabu di batu basonga.

6 For the Lord is with the just generation. You have confounded the counsel of the needy because the Lord is his hope.

Beno mimvangi mi mambimbi, lulenda vunza zikhanu zi nsukami. Vayi Yave niandi suamunu kiandi.

7 Who will grant the salvation of Israel from Zion? When the Lord turns away the captivity of his people, Jacob will exult, and Israel will rejoice.

A enati phulusu yi Iseli yitotukila ku Sioni! Mu thangu Yave kela vutula kiuka ki batu bandi Bika Yakobi kamona khini ayi Iseli kayangadala.
