Psalms 53

1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no Elohim. Corrupt are they, 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 Elohim looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek Elohim.

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 gone back: they are altogether become filthy; 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 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon Elohim.

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

5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for Elohim hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because Elohim hath despised 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 Elohim bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall 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.
