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.

Isithutha sithi enhliziyweni yaso: KakulaNkulunkulu. Bonakele, benza imisebenzi eyenyanyekayo; kakho 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.

INkosi yakhangela phansi isemazulwini phezu kwabantwana babantu, ukubona ukuthi ukhona yini oqedisisayo, odinga uNkulunkulu.

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

Baphambukile bonke, bebonke bonakele; kakho owenza okuhle, kakho loyedwa.

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

Kabazi yini bonke abenza okubi, abadla abantu bami njengoba besidla isinkwa? Kabayibizi iNkosi.

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

Lapho besaba lokwesaba, ngoba uNkulunkulu usesizukulwaneni solungileyo.

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

Liliyangisile icebo lomyanga, ngoba iNkosi iyisiphephelo sakhe.

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.

Kungathi usindiso lukaIsrayeli lungavela eZiyoni! Lapho iNkosi ibuyisa ukuthunjwa kwabantu bayo, uJakobe uzathaba, uIsrayeli athokoze.
