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.

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Na Rawiri. Kua ki te wairangi i tona ngakau, Kahore he Atua. Kua pirau ratou, he whakahouhou a ratou mahi, kahore tetahi e mahi ana i te pai.

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.

I titiro iho a Ihowa i te rangi ki nga tama a te tangata, kia kite me kahore tetahi e mahara ana, e rapu ana i te Atua.

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

Kua peka ke ratou katoa kua pirau tahi: kahore tetahi e mahi ana i te pai, kohore kia kotahi.

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

E kore ranei e mohio nga kaimahi katoa o te kino? e kai nei i toku iwi, me te mea e kai taro ana, a kahore e karanga ki a Ihowa.

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

Na, i reira ratou e tuiri noa ana: kei roto hoki te Atua i te whakatupuranga o te hunga tika.

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

Meinga ana e koutou te whakaaro o te hunga iti hei whakama, no te mea ko Ihowa tona piringa.

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.

Aue, me i puta mai te whakaoranga o Iharaira i Hiona! Kia whakahokia e Ihowa tana iwi i te whakarau, ka whakamanamana a Hakopa, ka hari a Iharaira.
