Psalms 53

1 To the Chief Musician. On Mahalath. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. The impious hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have acted corruptly, They have wrought abominable perversity, There is none that doeth good: —

Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Al-mahalath. Maskila nataon’ i Davida. Ny adala manao anakampo hoe: tsy misy Andriamanitra. Manao izay ratsy sy vetaveta izy, tsy misy manao ny tsara.

2 God, out of the heavens, looked down upon the sons of men, —To see whether there was one that showed wisdom, Enquiring after God.

Eny an-danitra Andriamanitra miondrika mijery ny zanak’ olombelona, mba hizaha na misy hendry mitady an’ Andriamanitra.

3 They all, have turned back, together have they become tainted, —There is none that doeth good, Not so much as, one!

Samy efa nivily izy rehetra ka tonga vetaveta avokoa; tsy misy manao ny tsara, na dia iray akory aza.

4 Are the workers of iniquity, without knowledge? Devouring my people, [as] they devour food? Upon God, have they not called.

Tsy mahalala va ny mpanao ratsy, izay mihinana ny oloko toy ny fihinan-kanina, ary Andriamanitra tsy antsoiny?

5 There have they been in great dread where no dread was, Because, God, hath scattered the bones of thy besieger, —Thou hast put [him] to shame, Because, God, had, rejected, them.

Indreo, matahotra dia matahotra ireny, nefa tsy nisy tokony hatahorany; fa Andriamanitra efa nanely ny taolan’ izay nitoby hamely anao; nampahamenatra azy ianao, satria efa narian’ Andriamanitra izy.

6 Oh that, out of Zion, were granted the salvations of Israel! When God bringeth back the captives of his people, Jacob, shall exult, Israel, shall be glad.

Enga anie ka hivoaka avy ao Ziona ny famonjena ny Isiraely! raha ampodin’ Andriamanitra avy amin’ ny fahababoana ny olony, dia ho faly Jakoba, ary ho ravoravo Isiraely.
