< Psalms 53 >

1 Unto the end, for Maeleth, understandings to David. The fool said in his heart: There is no God. They are corrupted, and become abominable in iniquities: there is none that doth good.
Thaburi ya Daudi Kĩrimũ kĩĩraga na ngoro atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ Ngai.” Nao amaramari, ciĩko ciao irĩ magigi; gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wĩkaga wega.
2 God looked down from heaven on the children of men: to see if there were any that did understand, or did seek God.
Ngai aroraga ciana cia andũ arĩ o igũrũ, one kana nĩ harĩ ũrĩ na ũmenyo, o na kana nĩ harĩ ũrongoragia Ngai.
3 All have gone aside, they are become unprofitable together, there is none that doth good, no not one.
Othe nĩmacookete na thuutha, othe marĩ hamwe nĩmatuĩkĩte amaramari; gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wĩkaga wega, gũtirĩ o na ũmwe.
4 Shall not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they eat bread?
Andũ acio mekaga maũndũ mooru kaĩ matarĩ ũmenyo, o acio marĩĩaga andũ akwa o ta ũrĩa andũ marĩĩaga irio, o acio matakayagĩra Ngai?
5 They have not called upon God: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear. For God hath scattered the bones of them that please men: they have been confounded, because God hath despised them.
O hau-rĩ, makanyiitwo nĩ guoya mũnene, o na gũtarĩ kĩndũ gĩa gũtũma metigĩre. Nĩgũkorwo Ngai nĩahurunjĩte mahĩndĩ ma andũ acio magũtharĩkĩire; nĩwamaconorithirie, nĩgũkorwo Ngai nĩamamenete.
6 Who will give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when God shall bring back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
Naarĩ korwo ũhonokio wa Isiraeli no ũgĩũke kuuma Zayuni! Rĩrĩa Ngai agacookereria andũ ake na indo ciao-rĩ, Jakubu nĩagakena na Isiraeli acanjamũke!
