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.

“To the chief musician upon Machalath, a Maskil of David.” The worthless fool saith in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, and they are abominable [in their] injustice: there is none that doth 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 looketh down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be one intelligent, one who seeketh for God.

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

Every one [of them] hath departed [from righteousness]; altogether are they become corrupt: there is none that doth good, no, not 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.”

Is there no knowledge in the workers of wickedness? who eat up my people as they eat bread: [while] they do not call on God.

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.

There were they terrified with terror where there was no terror; for God had scattered the bones of those that encamped against thee: thou didst put them to shame, because God had rejected 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!

Oh that some one might bring the salvation of Israel out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, [then] will Jacob be glad, [and] Israel will rejoice.
