Psalms 14

1 For the choirmaster. Of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their acts are vile. There is no one who does good.

Isithutha sithi enhliziyweni yaso: KakulaNkulunkulu. Bonakele, benza imisebenzi eyenyanyekayo; kakho owenza okuhle.

2 The LORD looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.

INkosi yakhangela phansi isemazulwini phezu kwabantwana babantu, ukubona ukuthi ukhona yini oqedisisayo, odinga uNkulunkulu.

3 All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

Baphambukile bonke, bebonke bonakele; kakho owenza okuhle, kakho loyedwa.

4 Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon the LORD.

Kabazi yini bonke abenza okubi, abadla abantu bami njengoba besidla isinkwa? Kabayibizi iNkosi.

5 There they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is in the company of the righteous.

Lapho besaba lokwesaba, ngoba uNkulunkulu usesizukulwaneni solungileyo.

6 You sinners frustrate the plans of the oppressed, yet the LORD is their shelter.

Liliyangisile icebo lomyanga, ngoba iNkosi iyisiphephelo sakhe.

7 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When the LORD restores His captive people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!

Kungathi usindiso lukaIsrayeli lungavela eZiyoni! Lapho iNkosi ibuyisa ukuthunjwa kwabantu bayo, uJakobe uzathaba, uIsrayeli athokoze.
