Psalms 14

1 TO THE OVERSEER. BY DAVID. A fool has said in his heart, “There is no God”; They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of 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 YHWH has looked from the heavens on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one—seeking God.

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

3 The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one.

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

4 Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, They have not called YHWH.

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

5 They have feared a fear there, For God [is] in the generation of the righteous.

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

6 You cause the counsel of the poor to stink, Because YHWH [is] his refuge.

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

7 “Who gives the salvation of Israel from Zion?” When YHWH turns back [To] a captivity of His people, Jacob rejoices—Israel is glad!

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