< Psalms 14 >
1 For the end, Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted [themselves], and become abominable in their devices; there is none that does goodness, there is not even so much as one.
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 looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought 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 are all gone out of the way, they are together become good for nothing, there is none that does good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood: destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.
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 Will not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon 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 There were they alarmed with fear, where there was no fear; for God is in the righteous generation.
Thlakdyngkhqi ing cunnaak awh Bawipa taw a awm dawngawh, a mingmih ing kqihnaak ing be uhy.
6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his hope.
Nangmih thlak chekhqi khawdengkhqi ing cainaak kang pe u tik seiawm, Bawipa taw a mingmih ang thuknaak na awm hy.
7 Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Sion? when the Lord brings back the captivity of his people, let Jacob exult, and Israel 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!
