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.

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. KaDavida. Isiwula sithi enhliziyweni yaso, “AkulaNkulunkulu.” Baxhwalile, izenzo zabo zibolile; kakho loyedwa owenza okuhle.

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.

UThixo ukhangela phansi esezulwini emadodaneni abantu ingabe bakhona yini abazwisisayo, abamdingayo uNkulunkulu.

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

Bonke baphambukile, bonke sebexhwalile; kakho loyedwa owenza okuhle, kakho lamunye.

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

Kanti lezizixhwali kaziyikufa zafunda yini? Zona ezidla abantu bami ingathi zidla isinkwa, ezingamkhonziyo uThixo.

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

Kodwa yibo abagubhazeliswa luvalo ngoba uNkulunkulu ukhona phakathi kwabalungileyo.

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

Lina benzi bobubi lifubisa amalungiselelo abayanga, kodwa uThixo uyisiphephelo sabo.

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.

Awu, sengathi insindiso ka-Israyeli ingaqhamuka eZiyoni! Nxa uThixo esebuyisela impumelelo yabantu bakhe, kathokoze uJakhobe lo-Israyeli ajabule!
