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.

Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Chitsiru chimati mu mtima mwake, “Kulibe Mulungu.” Oterewa ndi oyipa ndipo ntchito zawo ndi zonyansa; palibe amene amachita zabwino.

2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after god.

Yehova kumwamba wayangʼana pansi, kuyangʼana anthu onse kuti aone ngati alipo wina wanzeru, amene amafunafuna Mulungu.

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.

Onse atembenukira kumbali, onse pamodzi asanduka oyipa; palibe amene amachita zabwino, palibiretu ndi mmodzi yemwe.

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.

Kodi anthu ochita zoyipawa sadziwa chilichonse? Akudya anthu anga ngati chakudya chawo ndipo satamanda Yehova?

5 There were they alarmed with fear, where there was no fear; for God is in the righteous generation.

Awo ali apowo, agwidwa ndi mantha aakulu, pakuti Mulungu ali mʼgulu la olungama.

6 You have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his hope.

Inu ochita zoyipa mumalepheretsa chikonzero cha anthu osauka, koma Yehova ndiye pothawirapo pawo.

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.

Ndithu, chipulumutso cha Israeli chidzachokera ku Ziyoni! Pamene Yehova abwezeretsa ufulu wa anthu ake, Yakobo akondwere ndipo Israeli asangalale!
