Psalms 53

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Maharata. He Makiri, na Rawiri. Kua ki te wairangi i roto i tona ngakau, Kahore he Atua. Kua pirau ratou, he kino whakahouhou ta ratou mahi; kahore tetahi e mahi ana i te pai.

God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

I titiro iho te Atua i te rangi ki nga tama a te tangata, kia kite me kahore tetahi e mahara ana, e rapu ana i te Atua.

Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Kua hoki ki muri ratou katoa, kua pirau tahi: kahore tetahi e mahi ana i te pai, kahore kia kotahi.

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.

E kore ranei e mohio nga kaimahi i te kino? e kai nei i toku iwi, me te mea e kai taro ana; a kahore e karanga ki te Atua.

There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.

Wehi noa iho ratou i reira, i te wahi kahore he wehi, no te mea kua titaria e te Atua nga wheua o te tangata i whakapaea ai koe: kua whakama ratou i a koe; no te mea kua whakahaweatia ratou e te Atua

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Aue, me i puta mai te whakaoranga o Iharaira i Hiona! Kia whakahokia mai e te Atua tana iwi i te whakarau, ka whakamanamana a Hakopa, ka hari a Iharaira.
