Sòm 53

1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Fè yo chante ansanm, tankou timoun lekòl. Se yon sòm David. Moun fou di nan kè yo: -Pa gen Bondye! Yo tout fin pouri. Y'ap fè yon bann mechanste. Pa gen yonn ki fè sa ki byen.

[For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Mahalath." A contemplation by David.] The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity. There is no one who does good.

2 Bondye rete nan syèl la, l'ap gade lèzòm anba, pou l' wè si gen ladan yo ki gen konprann, si gen ladan yo k'ap chache l'.

God looks down from heaven on the descendants of Adam, to see if there are any who are wise, who seek after God.

3 Men, yo tout vire do bay Bondye. Yo tout yo mete tèt ansanm pou fè sa ki mal. Pa gen yonn ladan yo k'ap fè sa ki byen, non, pa menm gen yon sèl ladan yo.

Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

4 Bondye di: -Moun sa yo k'ap fè mechanste, se konnen yo pa konnen? Yo rete, y'ap souse pèp mwen an pou yo ka viv. Pa gen yonn ladan yo ki rele non mwen.

Have evildoers no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call on God?

5 Men tou, yo pral sezi, yo pral tranble, san pa gen rezon pou yo tranble. Men Bondye pral gaye zo tout lènmi ou yo, w'ap fè yo wont, paske Bondye lage yo.

There they will be in great fear, where no fear had been, for God will scatter the bones of those who encamp against you. You will put them to shame, because God has rejected them.

6 Oo! Kilè Bondye va soti sou mòn Siyon an pou l' delivre pèp Izrayèl li a? Lè Bondye va fè pèp li a kanpe ankò, pitit pitit Jakòb yo pral fè fèt. Se vre wi, pèp Izrayèl la pral kontan.

Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion. When God brings back his people from captivity, may Jacob rejoice, may Israel be glad.
