Zaburi 53

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

Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Mahalati, ko e Saame akonaki ʻa Tevita. Kuo pehē ʻe he vale ʻi hono loto, “ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻOtua.” Kuo kovi ʻakinautolu, pea kuo nau fai ʻae kovi fakalielia: ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku fai lelei.

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

Naʻe ʻafio hifo ʻae ʻOtua mei he langi ki he fānau ʻae tangata, ke vakai pe ʻoku ai ha niʻihi ʻoku ʻilo, mo kumi ki he ʻOtua.

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

Kuo foki kotoa pē kimui ʻakinautolu: kuo nau hoko ʻo fakalielia kotoa pē: ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku fai lelei, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito ha taha.

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

“ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻilo ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku fai kovi? ʻAkinautolu ʻoku kai ʻo ʻosi hoku kakai ʻo hangē ko ʻenau kai mā: naʻe ʻikai te nau ui ki he ʻOtua.”

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.

Pea naʻe manavahē lahi ai ʻakinautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ke manavahē ai: he kuo laku kehekehe ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi hui ʻo ia naʻa ne tauʻi koe: Kuo ke fakamaaʻi ʻakinautolu, he kuo fehiʻa ʻae ʻOtua kiate kinautolu.

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

Ko hai te ne foaki mei Saione ʻae fakamoʻui ki ʻIsileli? ʻOka toe ʻomi ʻe he ʻOtua hono kakai kuo pōpula, ʻe fiefia ai ʻa Sēkope, pea nekeneka ʻa ʻIsileli.
