Psalms 53

1 To the ouercomer bi the quere, the lernyng of Dauid. The vnwise man seide in his herte; God is not. Thei ben `corrupt, and maad abhomynable in her wickidnessis; noon is that doith good.

Mpumbavu husema moyoni mwake, “Hakuna Mungu.” Wamepotoka na kufanya machukizo; hakuna mmoja atendaye mema.

2 God bihelde fro heuene on the sones of men; that he se, if `ony is vndurstondynge, ether sekynge God.

Toka mbinguni Mungu hutazama chini kwa wanadamu kuona kama kuna yeyote mweye akili, amtafutaye yeye.

3 Alle boweden awei, thei ben maad vnprofitable togidre; noon is that doith good, ther is not til to oon.

Wote wamekengeuka. Kwa pamoja wamepotoka. Hakuna atendaye mema, hata mmoja.

4 Whether alle men, that worchen wickidnesse, schulen not wite; whiche deuouren my puple as the mete of breed?

Je, wale wanao fanya uovu hawana uelewa - wale walao watu wangu kana kwamba wanakula mkate na hawamuiti Mungu?

5 Thei clepiden not God; there thei trembliden for drede, where no drede was. For God hath scaterid the boones of hem, that plesen men; thei ben schent, for God hath forsake hem.

Wao walikuwa katika hofu kuu, ingawa hakuna sababu ya kuogopa ilikuwepo hapo; maana Mungu ataitawanya mifupa ya yeyote atakaye kusanyika dhidi yako; watu kama hao wataaibishwa kwa sababu Mungu amewakataa wao.

6 Who schal yyue fro Syon helthe to Israel? whanne the Lord hath turned the caitifte of his puple, Jacob schal `ful out make ioie, and Israel schal be glad.

Oh, kwamba wokovu wa Israel ungepatikana Sayuni! Wakati Mungu atakapowaleta watu wake kutoka kifungoni, ndipo Yakobo atashangilia na Israeli itafurahi!
