Psalms 14

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The foole hath said in his heart, There is no God: they haue corrupted, and done an abominable worke: there is none that doeth good.

Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Chitsiru chimati mu mtima mwake, “Kulibe Mulungu.” Oterewa ndi oyipa ndipo ntchito zawo ndi zonyansa; palibe amene amachita zabwino.

2 The Lord looked downe from heauen vpon the children of men, to see if there were any that would vnderstand, and seeke God.

Yehova kumwamba wayangʼana pansi, kuyangʼana anthu onse kuti aone ngati alipo wina wanzeru, amene amafunafuna Mulungu.

3 All are gone out of the way: they are all corrupt: there is none that doeth good, no not one.

Onse atembenukira kumbali, onse pamodzi asanduka oyipa; palibe amene amachita zabwino, palibiretu ndi mmodzi yemwe.

4 Doe not all the workers of iniquitie know that they eate vp my people, as they eate bread? they call not vpon the Lord.

Kodi anthu ochita zoyipawa sadziwa chilichonse? Akudya anthu anga ngati chakudya chawo ndipo satamanda Yehova?

5 There they shall be taken with feare, because God is in the generation of the iust.

Awo ali apowo, agwidwa ndi mantha aakulu, pakuti Mulungu ali mʼgulu la olungama.

6 You haue made a mocke at the counsell of the poore, because the Lord is his trust.

Inu ochita zoyipa mumalepheretsa chikonzero cha anthu osauka, koma Yehova ndiye pothawirapo pawo.

7 Oh giue saluation vnto Israel out of Zion: when the Lord turneth the captiuitie of his people, then Iaakob shall reioyce, and Israel shall be glad.

Ndithu, chipulumutso cha Israeli chidzachokera ku Ziyoni! Pamene Yehova abwezeretsa ufulu wa anthu ake, Yakobo akondwere ndipo Israeli asangalale!
