< Psalms 53 >
1 For the Leader; upon Mahalath. Maschil of David. The fool hath said in his heart: 'There is no God'; they have dealt corruptly, and have done abominable iniquity; there is none that doeth good.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki na flite. Bazoba bamilobelaka: « Nzambe azali te. » Makanisi na bango esila kobeba, basalaka makambo mabe mpe ya nkele; moko te asalaka bolamu.
2 God looked forth from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any man of understanding, that did seek after God.
Wuta na likolo, Nzambe atalaka bato mpo na koluka koyeba soki ezali ata na moko ya mayele, oyo atalelaka Nzambe.
3 Every one of them is unclean, they are together become impure; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Bango nyonso bazali batomboki, bango nyonso bamibebisa; moko te asalaka bolamu, ata moto moko te.
4 'Shall not the workers of iniquity know it, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and call not upon God?'
Boni, bato nyonso ya misala mabe bayebi eloko te? Baliaka bato na ngai ndenge baliaka lipa mpe batikala nanu kobelela Nzambe te, bazali penza kososola eloko moko te?
5 There are they in great fear, where no fear was; for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee; Thou hast put them to shame, because God hath rejected them.
Somo monene ekokanga bango na esika oyo ezali ata na eloko moko te oyo ekoki kopesa bango somo, pamba te Nzambe apanzi mikuwa ya bato oyo bayei kobundisa yo. Okoyokisa bango soni, pamba te Nzambe abwaka bango.
6 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God turneth the captivity of His people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
Tika ete lobiko ya Isalaele ebimela na Siona! Tango Nzambe akobimisa bato na Ye na bowumbu, bakitani ya Jakobi bakosepela, mpe Isalaele ekozala na esengo.
