Psalms 14

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. Only fools tell themselves, “God doesn't exist.” They are completely immoral; they commit terrible sins; not a single one of them does anything good.

Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi. Bazoba bamilobelaka: « Nzambe azali te. » Makanisi na bango esila kobeba, basalaka makambo ya nkele, mpe moko te asalaka bolamu.

2 The Lord watches from heaven to see whether anyone understands—if there's anyone who wants to come to God.

Wuta na Likolo, Yawe atalaka bato mpo na koluka koyeba soki ezali ata na moko oyo azali na mayele, oyo atalelaka Nzambe.

3 They have all gone their own way, they are totally depraved; none of them does anything good, not even one.

Bango nyonso babunga nzela, bango nyonso bamibebisa; moko te asalaka bolamu, ata moto moko te!

4 Won't these people who do evil ever learn? They consume my people as if they were eating bread, and refuse to pray to the Lord.

Boni, bato wana nyonso ya misala mabe bayebi eloko te? Bato baliaka bato na ngai ndenge baliaka lipa, babelelaka Yawe te!

5 Look, they will become terrified, because God is with those who live right.

Somo monene ekangi bango, pamba te Nzambe azali kati na bato ya sembo.

6 The wicked dismiss the plans of the poor people, but the Lord looks after them.

Bino, bato ya misala mabe, bobebisaka mabongisi ya mobola kasi Yawe azali ebombamelo na ye.

7 If only the Lord's salvation would come from Zion! When the Lord restores his people, the people of Jacob will celebrate, and the people of Israel will be glad.

Tika ete lobiko ya Isalaele ebimela na Siona! Tango Yawe akobongisa bato na Ye, bakitani ya Jakobi bakosepela, mpe Isalaele ekozala na esengo.
