< Psalms 14 >

1 To the chief music-maker. Of David. The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.
لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. لِدَاوُدَ قَالَ ٱلْجَاهِلُ فِي قَلْبِهِ: «لَيْسَ إِلَهٌ». فَسَدُوا وَرَجِسُوا بِأَفْعَالِهِمْ. لَيْسَ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ صَلَاحًا.١
2 The Lord was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God.
اَلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ أَشْرَفَ عَلَى بَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ، لِيَنْظُرَ: هَلْ مِنْ فَاهِمٍ طَالِبِ ٱللهِ؟٢
3 They have all gone out of the way together; they are unclean, there is not one who does good, no, not one.
ٱلْكُلُّ قَدْ زَاغُوا مَعًا، فَسَدُوا. لَيْسَ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ صَلَاحًا، لَيْسَ وَلَا وَاحِدٌ.٣
4 Have all the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food as they would take bread; they make no prayer to the Lord.
أَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ كُلُّ فَاعِلِي ٱلْإِثْمِ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ شَعْبِي كَمَا يَأْكُلُونَ ٱلْخُبْزَ، وَٱلرَّبَّ لَمْ يَدْعُوا.٤
5 Then were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the upright.
هُنَاكَ خَافُوا خَوْفًا، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ فِي ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلْبَارِّ.٥
6 You have put to shame the thoughts of the poor, but the Lord is his support.
رَأْيَ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ نَاقَضْتُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مَلْجَأُهُ.٦
7 May the salvation of Israel come out of Zion! when the fate of his people is changed by the Lord, Jacob will have joy and Israel will be glad.
لَيْتَ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ خَلَاصَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. عِنْدَ رَدِّ ٱلرَّبِّ سَبْيَ شَعْبِهِ، يَهْتِفُ يَعْقُوبُ، وَيَفْرَحُ إِسْرَائِيلُ.٧
