Psalms 53

1 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no Elohim ·Deity, Judge·.” They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity. There is no one who does 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 looks down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there are any who understood, who seek after God.

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

3 Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

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

4 Have the workers of vain striving of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on God?

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

5 There they were in great fear, where no fear was, for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you. You have put them to shame, because God has rejected them.

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

6 Oh that the yishu'ah ·salvation· of Israel [God prevails] would come out of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking]! When God brings back his people from captivity, then Jacob [Supplanter] shall rejoice, and Israel [God prevails] shall be glad.

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