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. 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.

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 on the children of mankind to see if there are any who understand, who seek after him.

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

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

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?

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.

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.

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 would come from Zion! When God brings back his people from the captivity, then Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad!
