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 Chief Musician. To the tune of “Mahalath.” A contemplation by David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity. There is no one who 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 looks down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there are any who understood, who seek after God.

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

Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does good, no, not 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?

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on God?

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.

There they were in great fear, where no fear was, for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you. You have put them to shame, 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!

Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back his people from captivity, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
