Psalms 53

1 For the end, [a Psalm] of David upon Maeleth, of instruction. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted [themselves], and become abominable in iniquities: there is none that does good.

Ang mangmang ay nagsabi sa puso niya, Walang Dios. Nangapahamak (sila) at nagsigawa ng kasuklamsuklam na kasamaan; walang gumawa ng mabuti.

2 God looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after God.

Tinunghan ng Dios ang mga anak ng mga tao mula sa langit, upang tignan kung may sinomang nakakaunawa, na humanap sa Dios.

3 They have all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, there is not even one.

Bawa't isa sa kanila ay tumalikod: sila'y magkakasamang naging mahahalay; walang gumawa ng mabuti, wala, wala kahit isa.

4 Will none of the workers of iniquity know, who devour my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon God. There were they greatly afraid, where there was no fear:

Wala bang kaalaman ang mga manggagawa ng kasamaan? na siyang kumakain ng aking bayan na tila kumakain ng tinapay, at hindi nagsisitawag sa Dios.

5 or God has scattered the bones of the men-pleasers; they were ashamed, for God despised them.

Doo'y nangapasa malaking katakutan (sila) na hindi kinaroroonan ng takot: sapagka't pinangalat ng Dios ang mga buto niya na humahantong laban sa iyo; iyong inilagay (sila) sa kahihiyan, sapagka't itinakuwil (sila) ng Dios.

6 Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Sion? When the Lord turns the captivity of his people, Jacob shall exult, and Israel shall be glad.

Oh kung ang kaligtasan ng Israel ay lumabas sa Sion. Pagka ibabalik ng Dios ang nangabihag ng kaniyang bayan, magagalak nga ang Jacob at matutuwa ang Israel.
