< Zaburi 53 >
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa mahalathi. Utenzi wa Daudi. Mpumbavu anasema moyoni mwake, “Hakuna Mungu.” Wameharibika, na njia zao ni za uovu kabisa, hakuna hata mmoja atendaye mema.
εἰς τὸ τέλος ὑπὲρ μαελεθ συνέσεως τῷ Δαυιδ εἶπεν ἄφρων ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔστιν θεός διεφθάρησαν καὶ ἐβδελύχθησαν ἐν ἀνομίαις οὐκ ἔστιν ποιῶν ἀγαθόν
2 Mungu anawachungulia wanadamu chini kutoka mbinguni aone kama wako wenye akili, wowote wanaomtafuta Mungu.
ὁ θεὸς ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ διέκυψεν ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων τοῦ ἰδεῖν εἰ ἔστιν συνίων ἢ ἐκζητῶν τὸν θεόν
3 Kila mmoja amegeukia mbali, wameharibika wote pamoja, hakuna atendaye mema. Naam, hakuna hata mmoja!
πάντες ἐξέκλιναν ἅμα ἠχρεώθησαν οὐκ ἔστιν ποιῶν ἀγαθόν οὐκ ἔστιν ἕως ἑνός
4 Je, watendao mabaya kamwe hawatajifunza: wale ambao huwala watu wangu kama watu walavyo mkate, hao ambao hawamwiti Mungu?
οὐχὶ γνώσονται πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν οἱ ἔσθοντες τὸν λαόν μου βρώσει ἄρτου τὸν θεὸν οὐκ ἐπεκαλέσαντο
5 Hapo waliingiwa na hofu kuu, ambapo hapakuwa cha kutetemesha. Mungu alitawanya mifupa ya wale waliokushambulia; uliwaaibisha, kwa sababu Mungu aliwadharau.
ἐκεῖ φοβηθήσονται φόβον οὗ οὐκ ἦν φόβος ὅτι ὁ θεὸς διεσκόρπισεν ὀστᾶ ἀνθρωπαρέσκων κατῃσχύνθησαν ὅτι ὁ θεὸς ἐξουδένωσεν αὐτούς
6 Laiti wokovu wa Israeli ungalikuja kutoka Sayuni! Wakati Mungu arejeshapo wafungwa wa watu wake, Yakobo na ashangilie, Israeli na afurahi!
τίς δώσει ἐκ Σιων τὸ σωτήριον τοῦ Ισραηλ ἐν τῷ ἐπιστρέψαι κύριον τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ ἀγαλλιάσεται Ιακωβ καὶ εὐφρανθήσεται Ισραηλ
