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!
Human Wickedness
(Psalm 53)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 The Lord looks down from heaven at us humans
to see if there are any who are wise,
any who worship him.
3 But they have all gone wrong;
they are all equally bad.
Not one of them does what is right,
not a single one.
4 “Don't they know?” asks the Lord.
“Are all these evildoers ignorant?
They live by robbing my people,
and they never pray to me.”
5 But then they will be terrified,
for God is with those who obey him.
6 Evildoers frustrate the plans of the humble,
but the Lord is their protection.
7 How I pray that victory
will come to Israel from Zion.
How happy the people of Israel will be
when the Lord makes them prosperous again!
