Psalms 53

1 For the end, [a Psalm] of David upon Maeleth, of instruction. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted [themselves], and become abominable in iniquities: there is none that does good.

Kathutkung: Devit Tamipathu niteh, a lungthung hoi Cathut awm hoeh ati awh. Ka rawk niteh, panuet ka tho e payonnae hah a sak awh teh, hawinae kasakkung awm awh hoeh.

2 God looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after God.

Thaipanueknae ka tawn e tami hoi Cathut ka tawng e tami ao han vaimoe titeh panue han a ngai dawkvah, Cathut ni kalvan hoi talai van a khet cathuk.

3 They have all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, there is not even one.

Tami pueng koung a payon awh teh, koung a rawk awh. Hawinae kasakkung awm hoeh. Buet touh boehai awm hoeh.

4 Will none of the workers of iniquity know, who devour my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon God. There were they greatly afraid, where there was no fear:

Vaiyei ca e patetlah ka taminaw hah a ca awh teh, Cathut ka kaw hoeh e tamikathoutnaw panueknaen tawn laipalah maw ao awh.

5 or God has scattered the bones of the men-pleasers; they were ashamed, for God despised them.

Taki hane ohoehnae koe puenghoi a taki awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang na kalup niteh, na ka tarannaw e hru teh Cathut ni paringparang a kâyat sak. Ahnimouh teh Cathut ni a takhoe dawkvah, kayayeirai phu hoi ao sak han.

6 Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Sion? When the Lord turns the captivity of his people, Jacob shall exult, and Israel shall be glad.

Oe Isarel rungngangnae teh Zion hoi tâcawt naseh. San lah kaawm e taminaw Cathut ni bout a tâcokhai toteh, Jakop konawm naseh, Isarel lunghawi naseh.
