Psalms 53

1 To the chief Musician. On Mahalath: an instruction. Of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have corrupted themselves, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth 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 looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek 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 is gone back, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even 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 iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people [as] they eat bread? they call not upon 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 There were they in great fear, where no fear was; for God scattereth the bones of him that encampeth against thee. Thou hast put [them] to shame, for God hath despised 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 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.

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.
