Psalms 14

1 “To the chief musician, by David.” The worthless fool saith in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they are abominable [in their] doings, there is none that doth good.

Dawid dwom. Ɔkwasea ka wɔ ne koma mu se, “Onyankopɔn bi nni hɔ.” Wɔaporɔw, na wɔn nneyɛe yɛ fi na wɔn mu biara nni hɔ a ɔyɛ ade pa.

2 The Lord looketh down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be one intelligent, one who seeketh for God.

Awurade fi ɔsoro hwɛ adesamma wɔ fam sɛ obehu wɔn mu bi a wɔwɔ ntease, anaa ebinom a wɔhwehwɛ Onyankopɔn.

3 They are all gone aside, they are altogether become corrupt: there is none that doth good, no, not even one.

Nanso nnipa nyinaa atwe wɔn ho afi Onyankopɔn ho; wɔn nyinaa ayɛ bɔne. Obiara nni hɔ a ɔyɛ papa. Ɔbaako mpo nni hɔ.

4 Is there no knowledge in all the workers of wickedness? who eat up my people as they eat bread; [while] they do not call on the Lord.

Enti abɔnefo rensua nyansa ana? Wɔwe me nkurɔfo te sɛnea nnipa di aduan. Wonnsu mfrɛ Awurade?

5 There are they terrified in terror; for God is with the righteous generation:

Nanso wonni, ehu akyekyere wɔn, efisɛ Onyankopɔn te wɔn a wɔteɛ mu.

6 The counsel of the poor [though] you put to shame; because the Lord is his protection.

Mo nnebɔneyɛfo sɛe ahiafo nhyehyɛe, nanso, Awurade ne wɔn guankɔbea.

7 Oh that some one might bring the salvation of Israel out of Zion! When the Lord bringeth back the captivity of his people, then will Jacob be glad, and Israel will rejoice.

Ao, Israel nkwagye mfi Sion mmra! Awurade bɛsan de ne nkurɔfo agyapade ama wɔn. Na Yakob adi ahurusi, na Israel ani agye!
