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.

David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe nublanuigbe me. Bometsila gblɔ le eƒe dzi me be, “Mawu aɖeke meli o.” Wonye ame baɖawo, woƒe mɔwo hã nye nu tovowo, ame aɖeke meli si wɔa nu nyui o.

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

Mawu lé ŋku ɖe amegbetɔviwo ŋu tso dziƒo, ne wòakpɔe ɖa be ame aɖe se nu gɔme alo di Mawu hã.

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

Ke ame sia ame trɔ megbe dee, wo katã tim wɔ nu tovo; ame ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ hã meli si wɔa nu nyui o, ɖeka pɛ hã meli o.

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

Ɖe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo, ame siwo vuvu nye dukɔ abe ale si woɖua aboloe ene, eye womeyɔa Mawu o la ava srɔ̃ nu gbe aɖe gbea?

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.

Woawoe ma ŋɔdzi lé, evɔ ŋɔdzinu aɖeke meli hafi o. Mawu gbã ƒu ɖe lãme na ame siwo tso ɖe mia ŋu la; ena ŋukpe lé wo, elabena Mawu gbe wo.

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.

O! Xɔname neva tso Zion na Israel! Ne Mawu gaɖo eƒe dukɔ ƒe nunyonamewo te la, Yakob netso aseye, eye Israel nekpɔ dzidzɔ!
