< Psalms 14 >

1 Unto the end, a psalm for David. The fool hath said in his heart: There is no God, They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: there is none that doth good, no not one.
Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Nkua buvulu wuntubanga mu ntimꞌandi ti: Kuisiko Nzambi! Baki bivisidi, mavanga mawu madi mambimbi; kuisiko mutu wumvanganga mamboti.
2 The Lord hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be any that understand and seek God.
Yave, ku yilu ku kadi, wulembo tadi bana ba batu mu tala kani wulenda mona wumosi wunsundika, kani wumosi wuntombanga Nzambi.
3 They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre: with their tongues they acted deceitfully; the poison of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction and unhappiness in their ways: and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.
Baboso bavengama ayi bamana kibivisa va kimosi; kuisiko mutu wumvanganga mamboti, kadi mutu wumosi.
4 Shall not all they know that work iniquity, who devour my people as they eat bread?
Batu boso bamvanganga mambu mambimbi basi nzayilu ko e? Bobo balembo dia batu bama, banga batu bandia dipha ayi bobo batelanga dizina di Yave ko.
5 They have not called upon the Lord: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.
Buna kuna bela tita mu diambu di tsisi bila Nzambi widi va khatitsika dikabu di batu basonga.
6 For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man, but the Lord is his hope.
Beno mimvangi mi mambimbi, lulenda vunza zikhanu zi nsukami. Vayi Yave niandi suamunu kiandi.
7 Who shall give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when the Lord shall have turned away the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad.
A enati phulusu yi Iseli yitotukila ku Sioni! Mu thangu Yave kela vutula kiuka ki batu bandi Bika Yakobi kamona khini ayi Iseli kayangadala.
