< Psalms 53 >

1 The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that does 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 upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that 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 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that does good, no, not one.
Othe nĩmacookete na thuutha, othe marĩ hamwe nĩmatuĩkĩte amaramari; gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wĩkaga wega, gũtirĩ o na ũmwe.
4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
Andũ acio mekaga maũndũ mooru kaĩ matarĩ ũmenyo, o acio marĩĩaga andũ akwa o ta ũrĩa andũ marĩĩaga irio, o acio matakayagĩra Ngai?
5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God has scattered the bones of him that camps against you: you have put them to shame, because God has 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 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God brings 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!
