< 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.
[Only] foolish people say to themselves, “There is no God!” People who say that are corrupt; they commit terrible sins; there is not one of them who does what is good/right.
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 looks down from heaven and sees humans; he looks to see if anyone is [very] wise, with the result that he seeks [to know] God.
3 Yo tout te vire akote. Ansanm yo vin konwonpi. Nanpwen nan yo ki fè byen, pa menm youn.
[But] they are all morally corrupt; no one does what is good/right.
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?
Will all these evil people never learn [what God will do to them]? They act violently toward Yahweh’s people while eating the food that he provides, and they never pray to Yahweh.
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.
But [some day] those people will become terrified, like they have never been terrified before, because God will cause those who are separated from him to die, and he will [disrespect them by] scattering their bones. They have rejected God, so he will cause them to be [defeated and] completely disgraced.
6 O ke delivrans Israël ta parèt sòti Sion! Lè Bondye restore pèp kaptif Li a, kite Jacob rejwi, kite Israël fè kè kontan.
I wish/desire that someone from Jerusalem [MTY] would come and rescue the Israeli [people]! God, when you bless your people again, [all] the Israeli [people, all the descendants of] Jacob, will rejoice.
