Psalm 53

1 [Psalm lal David] Mwet lalfon elos fahk insialos, “Wangin God!” Elos nukewa koluklana, Ac elos oru ma na srungayuk; Wangin sie selos oru ma suwohs.

For the end, [a Psalm] of David upon Maeleth, of instruction. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted [themselves], and become abominable in iniquities: there is none that does good.

2 God El muta inkusrao ac ngeti nu fin mwet uh In liye lah oasr mwet lalmwetmet, Ku oasr mwet alu nu sel.

God looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after God.

3 Tusruktu, elos nukewa kuhfla liki inkanek pwaye; Mwet nukewa oana sie ke koluk lalos. Wangin sie selos oru ma suwohs, Tia siefanna.

They have all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, there is not even one.

4 God El siyuk, “Ya elos tia etu? Ya pwaye mwet orekma koluk inge nukewa wangin nanka? Elos moulkin ma elos pisre sin mwet luk, Ac elos tiana pre nu sik.”

Will none of the workers of iniquity know, who devour my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon God. There were they greatly afraid, where there was no fear:

5 Tusruk elos ac fah arulana tuninfongla Yohk liki ke kutena pacl somla, Ke sripen God El ac fah sisalik srin mwet lokoalok lun mwet lal. God El siselosla, Ke ma inge Israel ac fah arulana kutangulosla.

or God has scattered the bones of the men-pleasers; they were ashamed, for God despised them.

6 Nga arulana pre tuh kutangla In tuku nu sin mwet Israel Zion me. Ac fuka lupan engan lun mwet Israel Ke God El ac sifilpa akkasrupyalos!

Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Sion? When the Lord turns the captivity of his people, Jacob shall exult, and Israel shall be glad.
