Psalms 14

1 TO THE OVERSEER. BY DAVID. A fool has said in his heart, “There is no God”; They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of 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 YHWH has looked from the heavens on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one—seeking God.

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

3 The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one.

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

4 Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, They have not called YHWH.

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

5 They have feared a fear there, For God [is] in the generation of the righteous.

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

6 You cause the counsel of the poor to stink, Because YHWH [is] his refuge.

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

7 “Who gives the salvation of Israel from Zion?” When YHWH turns back [To] a captivity of His people, Jacob rejoices—Israel is glad!

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