Psalms 53

1 To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David. The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity: [there is] none that doeth good.

Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Namaimbirwo eMaharati. Rwiyo rweMasikiri rwaDhavhidhi. Benzi rinoti mumwoyo maro, “Mwari hakuna.” Vakaora, uye nzira dzavo dzakaipa; hakuna anoita zvakanaka.

2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were [any] that did understand, that did seek God.

Mwari anotarira ari kudenga, pavanakomana vavanhu, kuti aone kana aripo anonzwisisa, kana aripo anotsvaka Mwari.

3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.

Mumwe nomumwe wavo akadzokera shure, vakava vakaora pamwe chete; hakuna anoita zvakanaka, kunyange nomumwe.

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people [as] they eat bread! they have not called upon God.

Ko, vaiti vezvakaipa havangadzidzi here, vaya vanodya vanhu vangu savanhu vanodya chingwa, uye vasingadani kuna Mwari?

5 There they were in great fear, [where] no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth [against] thee: thou hast put [them] to shame, because God hath despised them.

Havo, vakazadzwa nokutya, ipo pasina chavangatya. Mwari akaparadzira mapfupa avanhu vaikurwisa; makavanyadzisa, nokuti Mwari akavazvidza.

6 O that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion! when God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.

Haiwa, dai ruponeso rwaIsraeri rwabuda kubva muZioni; Mwari paachadzosera nhaka yavanhu vake; Jakobho ngaafarisise uye Israeri ngaafarisise!
