Psalms 14

1 The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is none that does good.

Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Mpumbavu anasema moyoni mwake, “Hakuna Mungu.” Wameharibika, matendo yao ni maovu kabisa; hakuna hata mmoja atendaye mema.

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

Bwana anawachungulia wanadamu chini kutoka mbinguni aone kama wako wenye akili, wowote wanaomtafuta Mungu.

3 They are all gone aside. They are together become filthy. There is none who does good, no, not one.

Wote wamepotoka, wameharibika wote pamoja, hakuna atendaye mema. Naam, hakuna hata mmoja!

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon Jehovah?

Je, watendao mabaya kamwe hawatajifunza: wale ambao huwala watu wangu kama watu walavyo mkate, hao ambao hawamwiti Bwana?

5 There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous.

Wako hapo, wameingiwa na hofu kuu, maana Mungu yupo pamoja na wenye haki.

6 Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor because Jehovah is his refuge.

Ninyi watenda mabaya mnakwamisha mipango ya maskini, bali Bwana ndiye kimbilio lao.

7 O that the salvation of Israel came out of Zion! When Jehovah brings back the captivity of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Laiti wokovu wa Israeli ungalikuja kutoka Sayuni! Wakati Bwana arejeshapo wafungwa wa watu wake, Yakobo na ashangilie, Israeli na afurahi!
