Zaburi 53

1 Mpumbavu husema moyoni mwake, “Hakuna Mungu.” Wamepotoka na kufanya machukizo; hakuna mmoja atendaye mema.

to/for to conduct upon Mahalath Maskil to/for David to say foolish in/on/with heart his nothing God to ruin and to abhor injustice nothing to make: do good

2 Toka mbinguni Mungu hutazama chini kwa wanadamu kuona kama kuna yeyote mweye akili, amtafutaye yeye.

God from heaven to look upon son: child man to/for to see: see there be prudent to seek [obj] God

3 Wote wamekengeuka. Kwa pamoja wamepotoka. Hakuna atendaye mema, hata mmoja.

all his to turn together to corrupt nothing to make: do good nothing also one

4 Je, wale wanao fanya uovu hawana uelewa - wale walao watu wangu kana kwamba wanakula mkate na hawamuiti Mungu?

not to know to work evil: wickedness to eat people my to eat food: bread God not to call: call to

5 Wao walikuwa katika hofu kuu, ingawa hakuna sababu ya kuogopa ilikuwepo hapo; maana Mungu ataitawanya mifupa ya yeyote atakaye kusanyika dhidi yako; watu kama hao wataaibishwa kwa sababu Mungu amewakataa wao.

there to dread dread not to be dread for God to scatter bone to camp you be ashamed for God to reject them

6 Oh, kwamba wokovu wa Israel ungepatikana Sayuni! Wakati Mungu atakapowaleta watu wake kutoka kifungoni, ndipo Yakobo atashangilia na Israeli itafurahi!
