Psalms 14

1 For the end, Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted [themselves], and become abominable in their devices; there is none that does goodness, there is not even so much as one.

聖歌隊の指揮者によってうたわせたダビデの歌 愚かな者は心のうちに「神はない」と言う。彼らは腐れはて、憎むべき事をなし、善を行う者はない。

2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after god.

主は天から人の子らを見おろして、賢い者、神をたずね求める者があるかないかを見られた。

3 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become good for nothing, there is none that does good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood: destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.

彼らはみな迷い、みなひとしく腐れた。善を行う者はない、ひとりもない。

4 Will not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon the Lord.

すべて悪を行う者は悟りがないのか。彼らは物食うようにわが民をくらい、また主を呼ぶことをしない。

5 There were they alarmed with fear, where there was no fear; for God is in the righteous generation.

その時、彼らは大いに恐れた。神は正しい者のやからと共におられるからである。

6 You have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his hope.

あなたがたは貧しい者の計画をはずかしめようとする。しかし主は彼の避け所である。

7 Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Sion? when the Lord brings back the captivity of his people, let Jacob exult, and Israel be glad.

どうか、シオンからイスラエルの救が出るように。主がその民の繁栄を回復されるとき、ヤコブは喜び、イスラエルは楽しむであろう。
