La Bu 53

1 Mingol honbou alungsung uva kon'in “Elohim Pathen aumpoi” ati'uve. Amaho chu mi kitahlou ahi'uvin, thilphalou jeng bol ahi'uvin khatchan jong thilpha abol pouvin ahi.

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 Elohim Pathen'in van'a kon'in mihemte jouse hi ahinven, Aman mikhattou aching tahbeh um am, khat touvin Elohim Pathen ahol am tin ahinven ahi.

God looks down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there are any who understood, who seek after God.

3 Ahinlah khatcha amupon, abonchaovin akihei mangsoh hel ta'uvin, aboncha'uvin akitahlou ngen ahi'uvin, koimacha thilpha bol aumpouvin khatcha jong aumpoi.

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

4 Hitobang'a thilphalou bol ho hin ahetdohlou hel di'u ham? Amaho hin kamite hi changlhah bang'a anehchai di'u ahitan Elohim Pathen kom'a tao ding jong agelpha pouve.

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

5 Amaho hi, tu masang'a anahetphah louhel u tijatnan ahin lokhum ding ahi'uve. Elohim Pathen'in na galmite'u gu le chang ahin thejal ding, nang'in amaho hi na ahin suhjum ding ahi, ajeh chu Elohim Pathen'in amaho hi apaidoh ahi'uve.

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 Zion mol'a kon'a Israelte huhdoh dia koi hung ding ham? Elohim Pathen in amite akiledohsah tengleh, Jacob in kipah a kho asap ding Israelte kipah ding ahi'uve.

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.
