Psalms 53

1 [Only] foolish people say to themselves, “There is no God!” People who say that are corrupt; they commit terrible sins; there is not one of them who does what is good/right.

Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Al-mahalath. Maskila nataon’ i Davida. Ny adala manao anakampo hoe: tsy misy Andriamanitra. Manao izay ratsy sy vetaveta izy, tsy misy manao ny tsara.

2 God looks down from heaven and sees humans; he looks to see if anyone is [very] wise, with the result that he seeks [to know] God.

Eny an-danitra Andriamanitra miondrika mijery ny zanak’ olombelona, mba hizaha na misy hendry mitady an’ Andriamanitra.

3 [But] they are all morally corrupt; no one does what is good/right.

Samy efa nivily izy rehetra ka tonga vetaveta avokoa; tsy misy manao ny tsara, na dia iray akory aza.

4 Will all these evil people never learn [what God will do to them]? They act violently toward Yahweh’s people while eating the food that he provides, and they never pray to Yahweh.

Tsy mahalala va ny mpanao ratsy, izay mihinana ny oloko toy ny fihinan-kanina, ary Andriamanitra tsy antsoiny?

5 But [some day] those people will become terrified, like they have never been terrified before, because God will cause those who are separated from him to die, and he will [disrespect them by] scattering their bones. They have rejected God, so he will cause them to be [defeated and] completely disgraced.

Indreo, matahotra dia matahotra ireny, nefa tsy nisy tokony hatahorany; fa Andriamanitra efa nanely ny taolan’ izay nitoby hamely anao; nampahamenatra azy ianao, satria efa narian’ Andriamanitra izy.

6 I wish/desire that someone from Jerusalem [MTY] would come and rescue the Israeli [people]! God, when you bless your people again, [all] the Israeli [people, all the descendants of] Jacob, will rejoice.

Enga anie ka hivoaka avy ao Ziona ny famonjena ny Isiraely! raha ampodin’ Andriamanitra avy amin’ ny fahababoana ny olony, dia ho faly Jakoba, ary ho ravoravo Isiraely.
