Sòm 53

1 Pou direktè koral la; selon mizik Mahalath Yon refleksyon pa David Moun fou a di nan kè li: “Nanpwen Bondye”. Yo konwonpi! Yo fè zak enjis ki abominab. Nanpwen ki fè sa ki bon.

For the Chief Musician; set to Mahalath. Maschil of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity; there is none that doeth good.

2 Bondye te gade anba soti nan syèl la sou fis a lòm yo, pou wè si genyen youn ki gen bon konprann, ka p chache Bondye.

God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek after God.

3 Yo tout te vire akote. Ansanm yo vin konwonpi. Nanpwen nan yo ki fè byen, pa menm youn.

Every one of them is gone back; they are together become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

4 Èske malfektè a mechanste (sila) yo pa gen okenn konesans, ka p manje pèp Mwen an konsi se pen yo manje, epi ki pa rele Bondye?

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon God.

5 La, yo te nan gwo laperèz kote pa te gen laperèz, paske Bondye te gaye zo a (sila) ki fè kan kont ou yo. Ou te fè yo vin wont, akoz Bondye te rejte yo.

There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee; thou hast put them to shame, because God hath rejected them.

6 O ke delivrans Israël ta parèt sòti Sion! Lè Bondye restore pèp kaptif Li a, kite Jacob rejwi, kite Israël fè kè kontan.

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, then shall Jacob rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.
