Psalms 53

1 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.

Thlak qaw ingtaw ak kawk khuiawh, “Khawsa am awm hy,” tihy. Vemih thlangkhqi taw ak plawcikhqi na awm unawh, a khawboe qamlang awm tyih ak awm thlangkhqi na awm uhy.

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

Zaaksimnaak ta nawh Khawsa ak sui, ak awm khoem hy voei nu tinawh, Khawsa ing khawk khan nakawng thlanghqing capakhqi ce nuk dan hy.

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

Thlang boeih ing lam awhkawng pleng unawh, a cu boeih na plawci kang hawh uhy; ik-oeih leek ak sai u awm am awm hy, u pynoet ca awm am awm hy.

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call on God?

Thlang ing phaihpi a ai amyihna kak thlangkhqi daih nawh Khawsa awm amak khy man ik-oeih che ak saikhqi ing a sim kaana awm kawm u nu?

5 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.

Kqih hly kawi ama awmnaak awh kqih awmnaak ing sing khqi hawh hy. Nang anik tukkhqi a quhkhqi ce Khawsa ing hqek phang tlang hawh hy; cekkhqi ce chahqai phyih sak khqi hawh hyk ti, kawtih, cekkhqi ce Khawsa ing kawna am sui voel hy.

6 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.

Aw, cawhkaw Israelkhqi hulnaak ce Zion awhkawng law lah voei! Khawsa ing ak thlangkhqi zo a seen law sak tlaih awhtaw, Jacob ing zeel seitaw Israel ing ak kaw zeel sak seh.
