Psalms 53

1 For the chief musician; set to Mahalath. A maschil of David. A fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt and have done abominable iniquity; there is no one who does good.

Kathutkung: Devit Tamipathu niteh, a lungthung hoi Cathut awm hoeh ati awh. Ka rawk niteh, panuet ka tho e payonnae hah a sak awh teh, hawinae kasakkung awm awh hoeh.

2 God looks down from heaven on the children of mankind to see if there are any who understand, who seek after him.

Thaipanueknae ka tawn e tami hoi Cathut ka tawng e tami ao han vaimoe titeh panue han a ngai dawkvah, Cathut ni kalvan hoi talai van a khet cathuk.

3 They have all turned away. Together they have become corrupt. There is not one who does good, not even one.

Tami pueng koung a payon awh teh, koung a rawk awh. Hawinae kasakkung awm hoeh. Buet touh boehai awm hoeh.

4 Do those who commit iniquity have no understanding— those who devour my people as if they were eating bread and they do not call on God?

Vaiyei ca e patetlah ka taminaw hah a ca awh teh, Cathut ka kaw hoeh e tamikathoutnaw panueknaen tawn laipalah maw ao awh.

5 They were in great fear, although no reason to fear was there; for God will scatter the bones of whoever will camp against you; such people will be put to shame because God has rejected them.

Taki hane ohoehnae koe puenghoi a taki awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang na kalup niteh, na ka tarannaw e hru teh Cathut ni paringparang a kâyat sak. Ahnimouh teh Cathut ni a takhoe dawkvah, kayayeirai phu hoi ao sak han.

6 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When God brings back his people from the captivity, then Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad!

Oe Isarel rungngangnae teh Zion hoi tâcawt naseh. San lah kaawm e taminaw Cathut ni bout a tâcokhai toteh, Jakop konawm naseh, Isarel lunghawi naseh.
