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.

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no Elohim ·Deity, Judge·.” They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity. 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 on the children of men, to see if there are any who understood, who seek after 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.

Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does 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?

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on 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 in great fear, where no fear was, for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you. You have put them to shame, because God has rejected 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 yishu'ah ·salvation· of Israel [God prevails] would come out of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking]! When God brings back his people from captivity, then Jacob [Supplanter] shall rejoice, and Israel [God prevails] shall be glad.
