Psalms 14

1 To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted themselves, they have done abominable works: there is none that doeth good.

[Aka mawt ham David kah] Hlang ang loh amah lungbuei neh, “Pathen om pawh,” a ti dongah poci uh tih, a bibi khaw tueilaeh kap. A then aka saii khaw om pawh.

2 Jehovah looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

Vaan lamkah BOEIPA loh hlang ca rhoek te hmuh hamla a dan. Pathen aka toem lungming khaw om van nim?

3 They have all gone aside, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.

Hlang boeih loh thikat la taengphael uh tih rhonging uh. A then aka saii om pawh. Pakhat khaw om pawh.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people [as] they eat bread? They call not upon Jehovah.

Ka pilnam vaidam la aka bai tih aka yoop, BOEIPA aka khue mueh, boethae aka saii boeih loh ming mahpawt nim?

5 There were they in great fear; for God is in the generation of the righteous.

Aka dueng thawnpuei taengah Pathen a om dongah birhihnah neh pahoi birhih uh.

6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the afflicted, because Jehovah [was] his refuge.

Mangdaeng kah a cilsuep te na rholrhak cakhaw BOEIPA te anih kah hlipyingnah ni.

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.

Zion lamkah Israel khangnah u long hang khuen. BOEIPA loh a pilnam thongtla te a lat vaengah Jakob omngaih saeh lamtah Israel a kohoe saeh.
