Psalms 53

1 For the chief musician; set to Mahalath. A maschil of David. A fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt and have done abominable iniquity; there is no one who does 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 looks down from heaven on the children of mankind to see if there are any who understand, who seek after him.

Wuta na likolo, Nzambe atalaka bato mpo na koluka koyeba soki ezali ata na moko ya mayele, oyo atalelaka Nzambe.

3 They have all turned away. Together they have become corrupt. There is not one who does good, not even one.

Bango nyonso bazali batomboki, bango nyonso bamibebisa; moko te asalaka bolamu, ata moto moko te.

4 Do those who commit iniquity have no understanding— those who devour my people as if they were eating bread and they do not call on 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 They were in great fear, although no reason to fear was there; for God will scatter the bones of whoever will camp against you; such people will be put to shame because God has 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 would come from Zion! When God brings back his people from the captivity, then Jacob will rejoice and Israel will 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.
