Ouvi wovandu
(Psa 53)Komuimburise. Epsalme ra David.
1 Omayova ye rihungirira aye tja:
“Kaku na Ndjambi.”
Owo avehe va zunḓaka,
nu ve tjita ozondjito ozondjaukise;
kape na umwe wawo ngu tjita ousemba.
2 Muhona u tara kovandu okuza meyuru,
kutja pe nomunazondunge
ngu ma paha Ndjambi e rikotamene ko.
3 Nungwari avehe va poka ku ye,
nu avehe va zunḓaka,
kape nomundu ngu tjita ousemba,
nangarire umwe wawo ke po.
4 Muhona ma pura nai:
“Kave nokutjiwa are?
Ovanauvi avehe mba kave nozondunge are?
Owo ve punda otjiwaṋa tjandje
owa mbu mave ri omboroto,
nu ku ami kave kumbu.”
5 Nungwari tjazumba owo mave urumisiwa,
orondu Ndjambi u kara puna
imba mbe nonḓuviro ku ye.
6 Ovanauvi ve yandeka omeripura womusyona,
nungwari Muhona onguri ondjamo ye.
7 Andakuzu Muhona ma eta ombatero
kOvaisrael okuza kOsion!
Tjiri, Ovaisrael mave yoroka,
Muhona tje ve ṋingaparisa rukwao!
(A psalm by David for the music leader.)
No One Can Ignore the Lord
1 Only a fool would say,
“There is no God!”
People like that are worthless;
they are heartless and cruel
and never do right.
2 From heaven the Lord
looks down to see
if anyone is wise enough
to search for him.
3 But all of them are corrupt;
no one does right.
4 Won't you evil people learn?
You refuse to pray,
and you gobble up
the Lord's people.
5 But you will be frightened,
because God is on the side
of every good person.
6 You may spoil the plans
of the poor,
but the Lord protects them.
7 I long for someone from Zion
to come and save Israel!
Our Lord, when you bless
your people again,
Jacob's family will be glad,
and Israel will celebrate.
