Psalms 53

1 Fún adarí orin. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí mahalati. Maskili ti Dafidi. Aṣiwèrè wí ní ọkàn rẹ̀ pé, “Ọlọ́run kò sí.” Wọ́n bàjẹ́, gbogbo ọ̀nà wọn sì burú; kò sì ṣí ẹnìkan tí ń ṣe rere.

For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath. A Maskil of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their ways are vile. There is no one who does good.

2 Ọlọ́run bojú wo ilẹ̀ láti ọ̀run sórí àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn, láti wò bóyá ẹnìkan wà, tí ó ní òye, tí ó sì ń wá Ọlọ́run.

God looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.

3 Gbogbo ènìyàn tí ó ti yí padà, wọ́n ti parapọ̀ di ìbàjẹ́; kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó ń ṣe rere, kò sí ẹnìkan.

All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

4 Ṣé àwọn oníṣẹ́ búburú kò ní ìmọ̀? Àwọn ẹni tí ń jẹ ènìyàn mi, bí ẹni jẹun tí wọn kò sì pe Ọlọ́run?

Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon God.

5 Níbẹ̀ ni ìwọ gbé wà ní ìbẹ̀rù ńlá níbi tí ẹ̀rù kò gbé sí, nítorí Ọlọ́run tí fọ́n egungun àwọn tí ó dó tì ọ́ ká; ìwọ tí dójútì wọ́n, nítorí Ọlọ́run ti kẹ́gàn wọn.

There they are, overwhelmed with dread, where there was nothing to fear. For God has scattered the bones of those who besieged you. You put them to shame, for God has despised them.

6 Ìgbàlà Israẹli ìbá jáde wá láti Sioni! Nígbà tí Ọlọ́run bá mú ohun ìní àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ padà, jẹ́ kí Jakọbu yọ̀ kí inú Israẹli sì máa dùn!

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When God restores His captive people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!
