Psalms 53

1 “To the chief musician upon Machalath, a Maskil of David.” The worthless fool saith in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, and they are abominable [in their] injustice: there is none that doth good.

Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Omusirusiru ayogera mu mutima gwe nti, “Tewali Katonda.” Boonoonefu, n’empisa zaabwe mbi nnyo; tewali n’omu akola kirungi.

2 God looketh down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be one intelligent, one who seeketh for God.

Katonda atunuulira abaana b’abantu ng’asinziira mu ggulu, alabe obanga mulimu mu bo abamutegeera era abamunoonya.

3 Every one [of them] hath departed [from righteousness]; altogether are they become corrupt: there is none that doth good, no, not one.

Bonna bamukubye amabega ne boonooneka; tewali akola kirungi, tewali n’omu.

4 Is there no knowledge in the workers of wickedness? who eat up my people as they eat bread: [while] they do not call on God.

Aboonoonyi tebaliyiga? Basaanyaawo abantu bange, ng’abalya emmere; so tebakoowoola Katonda.

5 There were they terrified with terror where there was no terror; for God had scattered the bones of those that encamped against thee: thou didst put them to shame, because God had rejected them.

Balitya okutya okutagambika; kubanga Katonda alisaasaanya amagumba g’abalabe be. Baliswazibwa kubanga Katonda yabanyooma.

6 Oh that some one might bring the salvation of Israel out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, [then] will Jacob be glad, [and] Israel will rejoice.

Singa obulokozi bwa Isirayiri bufuluma mu Sayuuni, Katonda n’akomyawo emirembe eri abantu be, Yakobo asanyuka ne Isirayiri n’ajaguza.
