Mga Salmo 53

1 Ang buangbuang nagsulti sa iyang kasingkasing, “Walay Dios.” Hugaw (sila) ug nakabuhat ug malaw-ay nga kasal-anan; walay bisan usa nga nagbuhat ug maayo.

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.

2 Midungaw ang Dios gikan sa langit ngadto sa mga anak sa katawhan aron makita kung aduna bay nakasabot, nga nangita kaniya.

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

3 Mibiya na silang tanan. Silang tanan nahimong daotan. Walay nagbuhat ug maayo kanilang tanan, wala gayod bisan usa.

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

4 Kadto bang nagbuhat ug kasal-anan wala bay alamag— kadtong naglamoy sa akong katawhan nga daw (sila) nagkaon lamang ug tinapay ug (sila) wala ba nagtawag sa Dios?

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:

5 Anaa (sila) sa dakong kahadlok, bisan tuod walay angay kahadlokan didto; tungod kay ang Dios maoy mokatag sa bukog ni bisan kinsa nga magkampo batok kaninyo; kana nga mga tawo mapaulawan kay gisalikway man (sila) sa Dios.

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

6 O, nga ang kaluwasan sa Jerusalem moabot gikan sa Sion! Sa dihang dad-on pagbalik sa Dios ang iyang katawhan gikan sa pagkabihag, unya magmaya si Jacob ug maglipay ang Israel!

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.
