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.

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

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

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

Obiara amane; wɔn nyinaa ayɛ bɔne; wɔn mu bi nni hɔ a ɔyɛ papa; ɔbaako mpo nni hɔ.

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

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

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.

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