Human Wickedness
(Psalm 14)1 Fools say to themselves,
“There is no God.”
They are all corrupt,
and they have done terrible things;
there is no one who does what is right.
2 God looks down from heaven at people
to see if there are any who are wise,
any who worship him.
3 But they have all turned away;
they are all equally bad.
Not one of them does what is right,
not a single one.
4 “Don't they know?” God asks.
“Are these evildoers ignorant?
They live by robbing my people,
and they never pray to me.”
5 But then they will become terrified,
as they have never been before,
for God will scatter the bones of the enemies of his people.
God has rejected them,
and so Israel will totally defeat them.
6 How I pray that victory
will come to Israel from Zion.
How happy the people of Israel will be
when God makes them prosperous again!
Uukolokoshi waantu
(Eps. 14)Oshitewo shaDavid
1 Aagoya otaa ilombwele taa ti: “Kaku na Kalunga!”
Aantu mbaka oya shunduka noya longo omasithahoni;
kaku na nando ogumwe ta longo uuwanawa.
2 Kalunga oku li megulu noto ontamene aantu kombanda yevi,
opo a tale, ngele oku na omunandunge
nongele oku na nando ogumwe te mu simaneke.
3 Ihe ayehe oya puguma; ayehe oya yonana.
Kaku na nando gumwe ta longo shoka shi li mondjila,
nando ogumwe.
4 “Aakolokoshi mbaka inaye shi tseya nani?” Kalunga ta pula.
“Oyo haa hupu mokuyuga aantu yandje
yo ihaa galikana ndje.”
5 Oyo taa ka adhika kehaluko enene inaaye li mona nale,
oshoka Kalunga ota ka halakanitha iipongo yaambo ye tonde aantu ye.
Kalunga okwe ya ekelehi,
naIsrael ote ke ya sinda thilu.
6 Ando muSion mu zile Israel ekwatho!
Uuna Omuwa ta ka hepulutha natango aantu ye,
nena Aaisraeli otaa ka nyanyukwa ngiini!
