Salamo 53

1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Al-mahalath. Maskila nataon’ i Davida. Ny adala manao anakampo hoe: tsy misy Andriamanitra. Manao izay ratsy sy vetaveta izy, tsy misy manao ny tsara.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no Elohim. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

2 Eny an-danitra Andriamanitra miondrika mijery ny zanak’ olombelona, mba hizaha na misy hendry mitady an’ Andriamanitra.

Elohim looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek Elohim.

3 Samy efa nivily izy rehetra ka tonga vetaveta avokoa; tsy misy manao ny tsara, na dia iray akory aza.

Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

4 Tsy mahalala va ny mpanao ratsy, izay mihinana ny oloko toy ny fihinan-kanina, ary Andriamanitra tsy antsoiny?

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon Elohim.

5 Indreo, matahotra dia matahotra ireny, nefa tsy nisy tokony hatahorany; fa Andriamanitra efa nanely ny taolan’ izay nitoby hamely anao; nampahamenatra azy ianao, satria efa narian’ Andriamanitra izy.

There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for Elohim hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because Elohim hath despised them.

6 Enga anie ka hivoaka avy ao Ziona ny famonjena ny Isiraely! raha ampodin’ Andriamanitra avy amin’ ny fahababoana ny olony, dia ho faly Jakoba, ary ho ravoravo Isiraely.

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Elohim bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
