Dagiti Salmo 53

1 Kuna ti maysa a maag iti pusona, “Awan Dios.” Rinukerda ken dakes unay dagiti aramidda; awan ti uray maysa nga agar-aramid iti naimbag.

[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.

2 Tannawagan ti Dios manipud langit dagiti annak ti tattao ta kitaenna no adda masirib a mangbirok kenkuana.

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.

3 Timallikudda amin; nagbalinda amin a narugit; awan ti uray maysa nga agar-aramid iti naimbag, awan, uray maysa.

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

4 Awan kadi ti ammoda, dagidiay nga agar-aramid iti kinadakes, dagidiay a mangalun-on kadagiti tattaok a kas pannanganda iti tinapay ngem saanda nga umawag iti Dios?

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.

5 Mabutengda unay, uray awan ti gapu nga agbutengda; ta iwarawaranto ti Dios dagiti tulang ti sianoman a dumarupto a maibusor kenka; maibabainto dagiti kasta a tattao gapu ta linaksid ida ti Dios.

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.

6 Aggapu koma iti Sion ti pannakaisalakan ti Israel! Ket agrag-onto ni Jacob ken agragsakto ti Israel, inton isubli ti Dios dagiti tattaona manipud pannakaibaludda!

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.
