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.

Kathutkung: Devit Tamipathu ni a lungthung hoi, Cathut awmhoeh ati. A rawk toe. Panuet ka tho e hno doeh a sak. Hawinae ka sak e awm hoeh toe.

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.

Cathut ka tawng niteh, ka panuek thai e ao han na ou tie panue han ngai dawk, BAWIPA ni kalvan hoi tami capanaw hah a khet cathuk.

3 They have all gone out of the way together; they are unclean, there is not one who does good, no, not one.

Abuemlahoi lam a phen awh teh, cungtalah koung a rawk awh toe. Hawinae kasakkung apihai awmhoeh. Buet touh boehai awmhoeh.

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.

Payonnae kasaknaw ni panuenae tawn awh hoeh ma aw. Rawca ca e patetlah ka taminaw hah a ca awh teh, BAWIPA kaw awh hoeh.

5 Then were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the upright.

Hawvah, takinae kalen koe ao awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh tami kalannaw koelah ao.

6 You have put to shame the thoughts of the poor, but the Lord is his support.

Tami karoedengnaw e pouknae teh a kaya sak awh. Hatei, BAWIPA teh ahnimae kânguenae doeh.

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.

Oe Isarel rungngangnae teh Zion hoi tâcawt naseh. BAWIPA ni san lah kaawm e taminaw a bankhai toteh, Jakop teh konawm naseh. Isarel hai lunghawi naseh.
