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.

Bedak je rekel v svojem srcu: »Ni Boga.« Izprijeni so, počeli so gnusna dela, nikogar ni, ki dela dobro.

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.

Gospod je pogledal dol z neba na človeške otroke, da vidi, ali obstaja kdorkoli, ki je razumel in išče Boga.

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

Vsi so odšli vstran, vsi skupaj so postali pokvarjeni. Nikogar ni, ki dela dobro, ne, niti enega ni.

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.

Mar vsi delavci krivičnosti nimajo spoznanja? Ki žro moje ljudstvo, kakor jedo kruh, pa ne kličejo h Gospodu?

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

Bili so v velikem strahu, kajti Bog je z rodom pravičnih.

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

Sramotili ste nasvet siromašnega, zato ker je Gospod njegovo pribežališče.

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.

Oh, da bi Izraelova rešitev duš prišla iz Siona! Ko Gospod privede nazaj ujete svojega ljudstva, se bo Jakob veselil in Izrael bo vesel.
