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 music director. According to Mahalath. A psalm (maskil) of David. Only fools tell themselves, “God doesn't exist.” They are completely immoral, they commit terrible sins, not a single one of them does anything good.

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

God watches from heaven to see if anyone understands, if anyone wants to come to God.

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

They have all fallen away, they are totally depraved; none of them does anything good, 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?

“Won't these people who do evil ever learn? They consume my people as if they were eating bread, and refuse to pray to me.”

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.

They will become completely terrified, more frightened than they have ever been. God will scatter the bones of those who fight against you; you will defeat them because God has rejected 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!

If only God's salvation would come from Zion! When God restores his people, the people of Jacob will celebrate, and the people of Israel will be glad.
