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.

Dawid dwom. Ɔkwasea ka wɔ ne koma mu se, “Onyankopɔn bi nni hɔ.” Porɔwee adi wɔn, na wɔn akwan yɛ animguase. Obiara nni hɔ a ɔyɛ ade pa.

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.

Onyankopɔn fi ɔsoro hwɛ adesamma wɔ fam sɛ obehu wɔn mu bi a wɔwɔ ntease, anaa ebinom a wɔhwehwɛ Onyankopɔn.

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

Nanso nnipa nyinaa atwe wɔn ho afi Onyankopɔn ho; wɔn nyinaa ayɛ bɔne. Obiara nni hɔ a ɔyɛ papa. Ɔbaako mpo nni hɔ.

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

Enti abɔnefo rensua nyansa ana? Wɔwe me nkurɔfo sɛnea nnipa di aduan. Wonnsu mfrɛ Onyankopɔn.

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.

Wɔn na wɔwɔ hɔ a wɔabɔ huboa wɔ faako a ehu nni. Onyankopɔn hwetee wɔn a wɔtow hyɛɛ wo so no nnompe mu; wuguu wɔn anim ase, efisɛ Onyankopɔn buu wɔn animtiaa.

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.

Ao, Israel nkwagye mfi Sion mmra! Awurade bɛsan de ne nkurɔfo agyapade ama wɔn. Na Yakob adi ahurusi, na Israel ani agye! Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔbɔ no sanku so.
