Psalms 53

1 For the Leader; upon Mahalath. Maschil of David. The fool hath said in his heart: 'There is no God'; they have dealt corruptly, and have done abominable iniquity; there is none that doeth good.

Katoeng kruek zaehoikung Muhalath hanah. David ih Maskil. Kamthu mah loe a palung thungah, Sithaw om ai, tiah thuih. Nihcae loe anghmaa angtaa kami, panuet thok zaehaih sah kami ah oh o: kahoih hmuen sah kami maeto doeh om ai.

2 God looked forth from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any man of understanding, that did seek after God.

Panoek thoemhaih tawn, Sithaw pakrong kami oh khoe maw, tiah Sithaw mah van hoiah kami capanawk to khet tathuk.

3 Every one of them is unclean, they are together become impure; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Kaminawk loe loklam amkhraeng o boih; nihcae loe amro o boih boeh; hmuen kahoih sah kami maeto doeh om o ai, om roe om ai, maeto doeh om ai.

4 'Shall not the workers of iniquity know it, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and call not upon God?'

Takaw caak baktiah nihcae mah kai ih kaminawk to caak o, Sithaw doeh kawk o vai ai: kahoih ai hmuen sah kaminawk loe panoekhaih tawn o ai boeh maw?

5 There are they in great fear, where no fear was; for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee; Thou hast put them to shame, because God hath rejected them.

Sithaw mah nang takui khoep kaminawk ih ahuhnawk to haeh pae phaeng boeh pongah, zit han om ai to mah paroeai a zit o; Sithaw mah nihcae to patoek pongah, azathaih tongsak boeh.

6 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God turneth the captivity of His people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

Aw, Israel kaminawk pahlonghaih loe, Zion mae hoiah angzo nasoe! Sithaw mah angmah ih kaminawk misong angtanghaih thung hoiah hoih let naah, Jakob loe anghoe ueloe, Israel loe poeknawm tih.
