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.

Abụ Ọma nke dịrị onyeisi abụ. Nʼusoro Mahalat. Abụ maskil Devid. Onye nzuzu na-asị nʼime obi ya, “Ọ dịghị Chineke ọbụla dị.” Ha bụ ndị ajọ omume riri ahụ, ụzọ ha niile bụkwa ihe arụ; ọ dịghị onye ọbụla na-eme ezi ihe.

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.

Chineke sitere nʼeluigwe na-ele ụmụ mmadụ anya, ịhụ ma ọ ga-achọta onye ọbụla nwere nghọta, onye nke na-achọ Chineke.

3 [But] they are all morally corrupt; no one does what is good/right.

Onye ọbụla, nʼotu nʼotu ewezugala onwe ha, ha niile abụrụla ndị ajọ omume riri ahụ; ọ dịghị onye ọbụla na-eme ihe ziri ezi, ọ dịghị ọ bụladị otu onye.

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.

Ndị niile na-eme ajọ ihe, ha amaghị ihe? Ha na-eripịa ndị m dịka mmadụ si eri nri, ha adịghị akpọkukwa Chineke.

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.

Ma nʼebe ahụ ka ha nọ, nʼọnọdụ oke egwu, ebe ọ dịghị ihe egwu na-adịghị. Chineke fesasịrị ọkpụkpụ ndị niile megidere gị; i mere ka ihere mee ha, nʼihi na Chineke ajụla ha.

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.

O, a sịkwarị na nzọpụta Izrel ga-esi na Zayọn pụta! Mgbe Chineke ga-akpọghachite ndị ya nʼọnọdụ ha, ka Jekọb ṅụrịa ọṅụ, ka Izrel nwekwaa obi ụtọ!
