< 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.
Thlak qaw ingtaw ak kawk khuiawh, “Khawsa am awm hy,” ti. Kawna amak awm, amak thym ik-oeih ce sai hy; ik-oeih leek ak sai thlang pynoet ca awm am awm qoe hy.
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.
Ak zasim thai awm nawh, Khawsa ak sui thlang ak awm khoem hy voei nu, tinawh khan nakawng Khawsa ing thlanghqing capakhqi ce nuk toek law hy.
3 They have all gone out of the way together; they are unclean, there is not one who does good, no, not one.
Ak chang na pleng boeih unawh, plawci kang hawh uhy; ik-oeih leek ak sai thalng pynoet awm am awm nawh, pynoet ca awm am awm hy.
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.
Ik-oeih che ak saikhqi - thlang ing phaihpi a ai amyihna kak thlang ak daihkhqi, Bawipa amak khy man thlangkhqi ing a sim kaana awm hly u nawh nu?
5 Then were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the upright.
Thlakdyngkhqi ing cunnaak awh Bawipa taw a awm dawngawh, a mingmih ing kqihnaak ing be uhy.
6 You have put to shame the thoughts of the poor, but the Lord is his support.
Nangmih thlak chekhqi khawdengkhqi ing cainaak kang pe u tik seiawm, Bawipa taw a mingmih ang thuknaak na awm hy.
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.
Aw Israelkhqi thaawngnaak ce Zion awhkawng law lah voei! Bawipa ing ak thlangkhqi zoseennaak a peek tlaih awh, Jakob ing zeel seitaw Israel ing ak kaw zeel poe seh!
