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.
[Only] foolish people say to themselves, “There is no God!” People who say that are corrupt; they commit terrible sins; there is not one of them who does what is good/right.
2 Midungaw ang Dios gikan sa langit ngadto sa mga anak sa katawhan aron makita kung aduna bay nakasabot, nga nangita kaniya.
God looks down from heaven and sees humans; he looks to see if anyone is [very] wise, with the result that he seeks [to know] God.
3 Mibiya na silang tanan. Silang tanan nahimong daotan. Walay nagbuhat ug maayo kanilang tanan, wala gayod bisan usa.
[But] they are all morally corrupt; no one does what is good/right.
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 all these evil people never learn [what God will do to them]? They act violently toward Yahweh’s people while eating the food that he provides, and they never pray to Yahweh.
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.
But [some day] those people will become terrified, like they have never been terrified before, because God will cause those who are separated from him to die, and he will [disrespect them by] scattering their bones. They have rejected God, so he will cause them to be [defeated and] completely disgraced.
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!
I wish/desire that someone from Jerusalem [MTY] would come and rescue the Israeli [people]! God, when you bless your people again, [all] the Israeli [people, all the descendants of] Jacob, will rejoice.
