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.

Ang mangmang ay nagsabi sa puso niya, Walang Dios. Nangapahamak (sila) at nagsigawa ng kasuklamsuklam na kasamaan; walang gumawa ng mabuti.

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.

Tinunghan ng Dios ang mga anak ng mga tao mula sa langit, upang tignan kung may sinomang nakakaunawa, na humanap sa Dios.

3 Every one of them is gone back, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.

Bawa't isa sa kanila ay tumalikod: sila'y magkakasamang naging mahahalay; walang gumawa ng mabuti, wala, wala kahit isa.

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people [as] they eat bread? they call not upon God.

Wala bang kaalaman ang mga manggagawa ng kasamaan? na siyang kumakain ng aking bayan na tila kumakain ng tinapay, at hindi nagsisitawag sa Dios.

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.

Doo'y nangapasa malaking katakutan (sila) na hindi kinaroroonan ng takot: sapagka't pinangalat ng Dios ang mga buto niya na humahantong laban sa iyo; iyong inilagay (sila) sa kahihiyan, sapagka't itinakuwil (sila) ng Dios.

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.

Oh kung ang kaligtasan ng Israel ay lumabas sa Sion. Pagka ibabalik ng Dios ang nangabihag ng kaniyang bayan, magagalak nga ang Jacob at matutuwa ang Israel.
