Psalms 53

1 TO THE OVERSEER. “ON A DISEASE.” AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID. A fool said in his heart, “There is no God.” They have done corruptly, Indeed, they have done abominable iniquity, There is none doing good.

Mpumbavu husema moyoni mwake, “Hakuna Mungu.” Wamepotoka na kufanya machukizo; hakuna mmoja atendaye mema.

2 God looked on the sons of men from the heavens, To see if there is an understanding one, [One] seeking God.

Toka mbinguni Mungu hutazama chini kwa wanadamu kuona kama kuna yeyote mweye akili, amtafutaye yeye.

3 Everyone went back, together they became filthy, There is none doing good—not even one.

Wote wamekengeuka. Kwa pamoja wamepotoka. Hakuna atendaye mema, hata mmoja.

4 Workers of iniquity have not known, Those eating my people have eaten bread, They have not called God.

Je, wale wanao fanya uovu hawana uelewa - wale walao watu wangu kana kwamba wanakula mkate na hawamuiti Mungu?

5 There they feared a fear—there was no fear, For God has scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against you, You have put to shame, For God has despised them.

Wao walikuwa katika hofu kuu, ingawa hakuna sababu ya kuogopa ilikuwepo hapo; maana Mungu ataitawanya mifupa ya yeyote atakaye kusanyika dhidi yako; watu kama hao wataaibishwa kwa sababu Mungu amewakataa wao.

6 Who gives the salvation of Israel from Zion? When God turns back [to] a captivity of His people, Jacob rejoices—Israel is glad!

Oh, kwamba wokovu wa Israel ungepatikana Sayuni! Wakati Mungu atakapowaleta watu wake kutoka kifungoni, ndipo Yakobo atashangilia na Israeli itafurahi!
