Psalms 14

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They were corrupted, and they have become abominable in their studies. There is no one who does good; there is not even one.

聖歌隊の指揮者によってうたわせたダビデの歌 愚かな者は心のうちに「神はない」と言う。彼らは腐れはて、憎むべき事をなし、善を行う者はない。

2 The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any who were considering or seeking God.

主は天から人の子らを見おろして、賢い者、神をたずね求める者があるかないかを見られた。

3 They have all gone astray; together they have become useless. There is no one who does good; there is not even one. Their throat is an open sepulcher. With their tongues, they have been acting deceitfully; the venom of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood. Grief and unhappiness are in their ways; and the way of peace, they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.

彼らはみな迷い、みなひとしく腐れた。善を行う者はない、ひとりもない。

4 Will they never learn: all those who work iniquity, who devour my people like a meal of bread?

すべて悪を行う者は悟りがないのか。彼らは物食うようにわが民をくらい、また主を呼ぶことをしない。

5 They have not called upon the Lord. There, they have trembled in fear, where there was no fear.

その時、彼らは大いに恐れた。神は正しい者のやからと共におられるからである。

6 For the Lord is with the just generation. You have confounded the counsel of the needy because the Lord is his hope.

あなたがたは貧しい者の計画をはずかしめようとする。しかし主は彼の避け所である。

7 Who will grant the salvation of Israel from Zion? When the Lord turns away the captivity of his people, Jacob will exult, and Israel will rejoice.

どうか、シオンからイスラエルの救が出るように。主がその民の繁栄を回復されるとき、ヤコブは喜び、イスラエルは楽しむであろう。
