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.

Dawid dwom. Ɔkwasea ka nʼakoma mu sɛ, “Onyankopɔn bi nni hɔ.” Wɔaporɔ, na wɔn akwan yɛ animguaseɛ. Baako koraa nni hɔ a ɔyɛ ade pa.

2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

Onyankopɔn firi soro hwɛ adasamma wɔ fam sɛ ɔbɛhunu wɔn mu bi a wɔwɔ nteaseɛ, anaa ebinom a wɔhwehwɛ Onyankopɔn.

3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that does good, no, not one.

Obiara amane; wɔn nyinaa ayɛ bɔne; wɔn mu bi 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 God.

Enti abɔnefoɔ rensua nyansa anaa? Wɔwe me nkurɔfoɔ sɛdeɛ nnipa di aduane. Wɔnnsu mfrɛ Onyankopɔn.

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.

Wɔn na wɔwɔ hɔ a wɔabɔ huboa! Wɔn ho popo wɔ beaeɛ a ehu nni hɔ. Onyankopɔn bɛhwete wʼatamfoɔ no nnompe agu; wobɛgu wɔn anim ase, ɛfiri sɛ Onyankopɔn abu wɔn animtiaa.

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.

Ao, ma Israel nkwagyeɛ mfiri Sion mmra! Onyankopɔn bɛsane de ne nkurɔfoɔ agyapadeɛ ama wɔn. Na Yakob adi ahurisie, na Israel ani agye! Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Wɔbɔ no sankuo so.
