Psalms 53
1 [Only] foolish people say to themselves, “There is no God!” People who say that are corrupt; they commit terrible sins; there is not one of them who does what is good/right.
Thlak qaw ingtaw ak kawk khuiawh, “Khawsa am awm hy,” tihy. Vemih thlangkhqi taw ak plawcikhqi na awm unawh, a khawboe qamlang awm tyih ak awm thlangkhqi na awm uhy.
2 God looks down from heaven and sees humans; he looks to see if anyone is [very] wise, with the result that he seeks [to know] God.
Zaaksimnaak ta nawh Khawsa ak sui, ak awm khoem hy voei nu tinawh, Khawsa ing khawk khan nakawng thlanghqing capakhqi ce nuk dan hy.
3 [But] they are all morally corrupt; no one does what is good/right.
Thlang boeih ing lam awhkawng pleng unawh, a cu boeih na plawci kang hawh uhy; ik-oeih leek ak sai u awm am awm hy, u pynoet ca awm am awm hy.
4 Will all these evil people never learn [what God will do to them]? They act violently toward Yahweh’s people while eating the food that he provides, and they never pray to Yahweh.
Thlang ing phaihpi a ai amyihna kak thlangkhqi daih nawh Khawsa awm amak khy man ik-oeih che ak saikhqi ing a sim kaana awm kawm u nu?
5 But [some day] those people will become terrified, like they have never been terrified before, because God will cause those who are separated from him to die, and he will [disrespect them by] scattering their bones. They have rejected God, so he will cause them to be [defeated and] completely disgraced.
Kqih hly kawi ama awmnaak awh kqih awmnaak ing sing khqi hawh hy. Nang anik tukkhqi a quhkhqi ce Khawsa ing hqek phang tlang hawh hy; cekkhqi ce chahqai phyih sak khqi hawh hyk ti, kawtih, cekkhqi ce Khawsa ing kawna am sui voel hy.
6 I wish/desire that someone from Jerusalem [MTY] would come and rescue the Israeli [people]! God, when you bless your people again, [all] the Israeli [people, all the descendants of] Jacob, will rejoice.
Aw, cawhkaw Israelkhqi hulnaak ce Zion awhkawng law lah voei! Khawsa ing ak thlangkhqi zo a seen law sak tlaih awhtaw, Jacob ing zeel seitaw Israel ing ak kaw zeel sak seh.
