Psalms 53

1 To the chief music-maker; put to Mahalath. Maschil. Of David. The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.

U A olelo ka aia iloko o kona naau, Aohe Akua. Ua hewa pu lakou, ua hana hoi lakou i na mea e inainaia; Aohe mea i hana ma ka pono.

2 God was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God.

Nana mai la ke Akua mai luna mai o ka lani i na keiki a kanaka, I ike mai i kekahi mea naauao paha e imi ana i ke Akua.

3 Every one of them has gone back; they are unclean: there is not one who does good, no, not one.

Pau lakou i ka hoi hope pu; Pau pu lakou i ka haumia; Aohe mea hana maikai, aole loa hookahi.

4 Have the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food, as they would take bread; they make no prayer to God.

Aole anei naauao iki ko ka poe hana hewa? Ka poe e pau ai ko'u poe kanaka i ka aiia, E like me ko lakou ai ana i ka berena: Aole lakou i kahea i ke Akua.

5 They were in great fear, where there was no cause for fear: for the bones of those who make war on you have been broken by God; you have put them to shame, because God has no desire for them.

Malaila makau loa lakou ma kahi makau ole; No ka mea, ua hoohelelei ke Akua i na iwi o ka mea hoomoana ku e ia oe: Ua hoohilahila oe ia lakou, No ka mea, ua hoowahawaha mai ke Akua ia lakou.

6 May the salvation of Israel come out of Zion! When the fate of his people is changed by God, Jacob will have joy, and Israel will be glad.

Nawai la ke ola e haawi mai i ka Iseraela mailoko mai o Ziona? Aia hoihoi mai ke Akua i ke pio ana o kona poe kanaka, E hauoli no o Iakoba, e olioli no hoi o Iseraela.
