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.

To him that excelleth on Mahalath. A Psalme of David to give instruction. The foole hath saide in his heart, There is no God. they haue corrupted and done abominable wickednes: there is none that doeth 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 looked downe from heauen vpon the children of men, to see if there were any that would vnderstand, and seeke 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.

Euery one is gone backe: they are altogether corrupt: there is none that doth good, no not 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?

Doe not the workers of iniquitie knowe that they eate vp my people as they eate bread? they call not vpon 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 were afraide for feare, where no feare was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that besieged thee: thou hast put them to confusion, because God hath cast them off.

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 giue saluation vnto Israel out of Zion: when God turneth the captiuitie of his people, then Iaakob shall reioyce, and Israel shalbe glad.
