Psalms 53

1 to/for to conduct upon Mahalath Maskil to/for David to say foolish in/on/with heart his nothing God to ruin and to abhor injustice nothing to make: do good

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ngendlela yemahalathi. Ihubo likaDavida. Isiwula sithi enhliziyweni yaso, “AkulaNkulunkulu.” Baxhwalile, lezindlela zabo zibolile; kakho loyedwa owenza okuhle.

2 God from heaven to look upon son: child man to/for to see: see there be prudent to seek [obj] God

UNkulunkulu ukhangela phansi esezulwini emadodaneni abantu ingabe bakhona yini abazwisisayo, abamdingayo uNkulunkulu.

3 all his to turn together to corrupt nothing to make: do good nothing also one

Abantu bonke baphambukile, bonke sebexhwalile; kakho loyedwa owenza okuhle, kakho lamunye.

4 not to know to work evil: wickedness to eat people my to eat food: bread God not to call: call to

Kanti lezizixhwali kaziyikufa zafunda yini? Zona ezidla abantu bami ingathi zidla isinkwa, ezingamkhonziyo uNkulunkulu.

5 there to dread dread not to be dread for God to scatter bone to camp you be ashamed for God to reject them

Kodwa yibo abagubhazeliswa luvalo khona kungelalutho olwesabekayo. UNkulunkulu wawahlakaza amathambo alabo abalihlaselayo; lina labayangisa ngoba uNkulunkulu wabeyisa.

6 who? to give: if only! from Zion salvation Israel in/on/with to return: rescue God captivity people his to rejoice Jacob to rejoice Israel

Sengathi insindiso ka-Israyeli ingaqhamuka eZiyoni! Nxa uNkulunkulu esebuyisela impumelelo yabantu bakhe, kathokoze uJakhobe lo-Israyeli ajabule!
