Psalms 53

1 To the choirmaster on Mahalath a poem of David. He says a fool in heart his there not [is] a god they act corruptly and they act abominably unrighteousness there not [is one who] does good.

Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Potsata mayimbidwe a Mahalati. Ndakatulo ya Davide. Chitsiru chimati mu mtima mwake, “Kulibe Mulungu.” Iwo ndi oyipa ndipo njira zawo ndi zonyansa; palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene amachita chabwino.

2 God from heaven he looks down on [the] children of humankind to see ¿ [is] there [one who] acts prudently [one who] seeks God.

Mulungu kumwamba amayangʼana pansi pano pa ana a anthu kuti aone ngati alipo wina wanzeru, wofunafuna Mulungu.

3 All of it he turns back together they are corrupt there not [is one who] does good there not also [is] one.

Aliyense wabwerera, iwo onse pamodzi akhala oyipa; palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene amachita chabwino, ngakhale mmodzi.

4 ¿ Not do they know [those who] do wickedness [those who] devour people my they eat bread God not they call on.

Kodi anthu ochita zoyipawa adzaphunziradi; anthu amene amadya anthu anga monga mmene anthu amadyera buledi, ndipo sapemphera kwa Mulungu?

5 There - they feared a fear [which] not it was fear for God he has scattered [the] bones of [one who] encamped against you you have put [them] to shame for God he has rejected them.

Iwo anali pamenepo atathedwa nzeru ndi mantha aakulu pamene panalibe kanthu kochititsa mantha. Mulungu anamwazamwaza mafupa a anthu amene anakuthirani nkhondo; inuyo munawachititsa manyazi, pakuti Mulungu anawanyoza.

6 Who? will he give [will be] from Zion [the] salvation of Israel when turns back God [the] captivity of people his let it be glad Jacob let it rejoice Israel.

Ndithu, chipulumutso cha Israeli nʼchochokera ku Ziyoni! Pamene Mulungu adzabwezeretsanso ulemerero wa anthu ake, lolani Yakobo akondwere ndi Israeli asangalale!
