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.

Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Kuo pehē ʻe he vale ʻi hono loto, “ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻOtua.” Kuo kovi ʻakinautolu, kuo nau fai ʻae ngaahi ngāue fakalielia, ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku fai lelei.

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.

Naʻe ʻafio hifo ʻe Sihova mei he langi ki he fānau ʻae tangata, ke ʻafio pē ʻoku ai ha niʻihi ʻoku ʻilo, mo kumi ki he ʻOtua.

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.

Kuo ʻalu hē kotoa pē, kuo nau hoko ʻo fakalielia kotoa pē: ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku fai lelei, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito ha taha.

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

“ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻilo ʻiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fai kovi? ʻAkinautolu ʻoku kai ʻo ʻosi hoku kakai ʻo hangē ko ʻenau kai mā, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau ui kia Sihova.”

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

Pea naʻa nau manavahē ai ʻi he manavahē lahi: he ʻoku ʻi he toʻutangata ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ʻae ʻOtua.

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

Naʻa mou manukiʻi ʻae fakakaukau ʻoe masiva, ka ko hono hūfanga ʻa Sihova.

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.

Ko hai te ne foaki mei Saione ʻae fakamoʻui ki ʻIsileli? ʻOka toe ʻomi ʻe Sihova hono kakai kuo pōpula, ʻe fiefia ai ʻa Sēkope, pea nekeneka ʻa ʻIsileli.
