Psalms 53

1 For the end, [a Psalm] of David upon Maeleth, of instruction. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted [themselves], and become abominable in iniquities: there is none that does good.

Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi; kayimbidila mu flute. Nkua buvulu wuntubanga mu ntimꞌandi: “kuisiko Nzambi.” Bakibivisidi, zinzila ziawu zidi zimbimbi; kuisiko mutu wumvanganga mamboti.

2 God looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after God.

Nzambi, wulembo tadi tona ku Diyilu bana ba batu mu diambu di tala kani valenda ba batu balenda sudika; bobo bantomba Nzambi.

3 They have all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, there is not even one.

Batu boso bamana zimbala, bamana kibivisa va kimosi. Kuisiko kadi wumosi wumvanganga mamboti, kadi kuandi wumosi.

4 Will none of the workers of iniquity know, who devour my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon God. There were they greatly afraid, where there was no fear:

Bobo bamvanganga mambimbi, basudikanga ko e? Bawu balembo dia batu bama banga bu beti dila dipha; ayi batelanga Nzambi ko.

5 or God has scattered the bones of the men-pleasers; they were ashamed, for God despised them.

Kuna batitila mu diambu di tsisi va buangu ki kondolo bila kimonina tsisi; Nzambi wukosikisa mimvesi mi batu bobo banuanisa; ngeyo wuba fuisa tsoni bila Nzambi wuba lenza.

6 Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Sion? When the Lord turns the captivity of his people, Jacob shall exult, and Israel shall be glad.

A, enati phulusu yi Iseli yitotukila ku Sioni! Mu thangu Nzambi kela vutula kiuka ki batu bandi; bika Yakobi kamona khini ayi Iseli kayangalala.
