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 Chief Musician. To the tune of “Mahalath.” A contemplation by David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity. There is no one who 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 looks down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there are any who understood, who seek 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.

Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does 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.”

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t 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 they were in great fear, where no fear was, for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you. You have put them to shame, because God has 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 the salvation [yeshuat] of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back his people from captivity, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
