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.

Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Omusirusiru ayogera mu mutima gwe nti, “Tewali Katonda.” Aboogera bwe batyo boonoonefu, bakola ebitasaana tekuli n’omu ku bo akola kirungi.

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

Mukama atunuulira abantu bonna mu nsi ng’asinziira mu ggulu, okulaba obanga mulimu mu bo ategeera, era abanoonya Katonda.

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

Naye bonna bakyamye boonoonese; teri akola kirungi, era teri n’omu.

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.

Abo bonna abakola ebibi tebaliyiga? Kubanga basaanyaawo abantu bange ng’abalya emmere; so tebakoowoola Mukama.

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

Balitya nnyo! Kubanga Katonda abeera wamu n’abatuukirivu.

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

Mulemesa entegeka z’omwavu, songa Mukama kye kiddukiro kye.

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.

Singa obulokozi bwa Isirayiri butuuse mu kiseera kino nga buva mu Sayuuni! Mukama bw’alirokola abantu be, Yakobo alijaguza ne Isirayiri alisanyuka.
