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.

Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Gosa Muuziiqaa maahilaati jedhamuun faarfatame. Maskiilii Daawiti. Gowwaan garaa isaatti, “Waaqni hin jiru” jedha. Isaan xuraaʼaniiru; karaan isaaniis jibbisiisaa dha; namni waan gaarii hojjetu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.

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

Waaqni yoo namni waa hubatu, kan Waaqas barbaadu tokko iyyuu jiraate arguuf jedhee, samii irraa ilmaan namootaa gad ilaala.

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

Hundinuu dogoggoraniiru; hundi isaaniis xuraaʼaniiru; namni waan gaarii hojjetu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; tokkumti iyyuu hin jiru.

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.

Warri hammina hojjetan, kanneen akkuma waan buddeena nyaataniitti saba koo nyaatan, warri Waaqa hin waammanne hundinuu homaa hin beekanii?

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.

Isaan iddoo wanni sodaatamu hin jirretti, sodaadhaan liqimfamaniiru. Waaqni lafee warra si marsanii ni bittinneessa; sababii Waaqni isaan tuffateef, ati isaan qaanessite.

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.

Maaloo utuu Xiyoon keessaa fayyinni Israaʼeliif dhufee! Yommuu Waaqni saba isaa warra boojiʼaman deebisutti, Yaaqoob haa ililchu; Israaʼelis haa gammadu!
