Psalms 53

1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Mahalath.” A contemplation by David. The fool has said 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 men, to see if there are any who understood, who seek after God.

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

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

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

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t 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 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.

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 [yeshuat] of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back his people from captivity, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall 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.
