Psalms 53

1 “To the chief musician upon Machalath, a Maskil of David.” The worthless fool saith in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, and they are abominable [in their] injustice: there is none that doth good.

Kuom jatend wer. Kaluwore gi dwol mar mahalath. Maskil mar Daudi. Ngʼat mofuwo wacho e chunye niya, “Nyasaye onge.” Gin joma okethore, kendo yoregi obam; onge kata ngʼato achiel matimo maber.

2 God looketh down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be one intelligent, one who seeketh for God.

Nyasaye ngʼiyo ji duto gie polo; mondo oneye ka bende nitie moro kuomgi ma nigi winjo, kata ka bende nitie moro kuomgi mamanyo Nyasaye.

3 Every one [of them] hath departed [from righteousness]; altogether are they become corrupt: there is none that doth good, no, not one.

Giduto gisebaro giweyo yo; giduto gisekethore; onge ngʼama timo maber, onge kata achiel.

4 Is there no knowledge in the workers of wickedness? who eat up my people as they eat bread: [while] they do not call on God.

Bende joma timo timbe maricho dipuonjre adier? Gin joma kidho joga kaka ji chamo kuon; kendo gin joma ok luong Nyasaye mondo okonygi.

5 There were they terrified with terror where there was no terror; for God had scattered the bones of those that encamped against thee: thou didst put them to shame, because God had rejected them.

To koro gin ka, ka kihondko maduongʼ omakogi, kata obedo ni onge gima kelo kihondko. Nyasaye osekeyo choke joma nomonji; isemiyogi wichkuot, nikech Nyasaye nodagigi.

6 Oh that some one might bring the salvation of Israel out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, [then] will Jacob be glad, [and] Israel will rejoice.

Yaye, mad warruok mar Israel obi koa Sayun! Kinde ma Nyasaye duogo ne joge mwandugi, onego joka Jakobo obed moil kendo Israel obed mamor!
