Psalms 53

1 To the chief Musician. On Mahalath: an instruction. Of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have corrupted themselves, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Omusirusiru ayogera mu mutima gwe nti, “Tewali Katonda.” Boonoonefu, n’empisa zaabwe mbi nnyo; tewali n’omu akola kirungi.

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

Katonda atunuulira abaana b’abantu ng’asinziira mu ggulu, alabe obanga mulimu mu bo abamutegeera era abamunoonya.

3 Every one of them is gone back, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.

Bonna bamukubye amabega ne boonooneka; tewali akola kirungi, tewali n’omu.

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people [as] they eat bread? they call not upon God.

Aboonoonyi tebaliyiga? Basaanyaawo abantu bange, ng’abalya emmere; so tebakoowoola Katonda.

5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was; for God scattereth the bones of him that encampeth against thee. Thou hast put [them] to shame, for God hath despised them.

Balitya okutya okutagambika; kubanga Katonda alisaasaanya amagumba g’abalabe be. Baliswazibwa kubanga Katonda yabanyooma.

6 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.

Singa obulokozi bwa Isirayiri bufuluma mu Sayuuni, Katonda n’akomyawo emirembe eri abantu be, Yakobo asanyuka ne Isirayiri n’ajaguza.
