Psalms 53

1 To the Overseer. — 'On a disease.' — An instruction, by David. A fool said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They have done corruptly, Yea, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing 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 from the heavens looked on the sons of men, To see if there be an understanding one, [One] seeking 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 went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good — not even one.

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

4 Have not workers of iniquity known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, God they have not called.

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

5 There they feared a fear — there was no fear, For God hath scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against thee, Thou hast put to shame, For God hath despised 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 Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When God turneth back [to] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice — Israel is glad!

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