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.

Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi; kayimbidila mu flute. Nkua buvulu wuntubanga mu ntimꞌandi: “kuisiko Nzambi.” Bakibivisidi, zinzila ziawu zidi zimbimbi; kuisiko mutu wumvanganga mamboti.

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

Nzambi, wulembo tadi tona ku Diyilu bana ba batu mu diambu di tala kani valenda ba batu balenda sudika; bobo bantomba Nzambi.

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

Batu boso bamana zimbala, bamana kibivisa va kimosi. Kuisiko kadi wumosi wumvanganga mamboti, kadi kuandi wumosi.

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.

Bobo bamvanganga mambimbi, basudikanga ko e? Bawu balembo dia batu bama banga bu beti dila dipha; ayi batelanga Nzambi ko.

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.

Kuna batitila mu diambu di tsisi va buangu ki kondolo bila kimonina tsisi; Nzambi wukosikisa mimvesi mi batu bobo banuanisa; ngeyo wuba fuisa tsoni bila Nzambi wuba lenza.

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.

A, enati phulusu yi Iseli yitotukila ku Sioni! Mu thangu Nzambi kela vutula kiuka ki batu bandi; bika Yakobi kamona khini ayi Iseli kayangalala.
