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.

David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Bometsila gblɔna le eƒe dzi me be, “Mawu aɖeke meli o.” Wonye ame tovowo, eye woƒe nuwɔnawo nye ŋunyɔnu; ame ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ hã mele wo dome si wɔa nu nyui o.

2 YHWH has looked from the heavens on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one—seeking God.

Yehowa bi kɔ kpɔ amegbetɔviwo ɖa tso dziƒo, be wòakpɔe ɖa be nugɔmesela aɖe le wo dome, eye wòdia Mawu vevie mahã?

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

Wo katã wodze ɖe aga, wo katã tim wogblẽ; ame aɖeke meli si wɔa nu nyui o, ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã meli o.

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

Ɖe nu tovo wɔlawo, ame siwo ɖua nye amewo abe abolo ene, eye womeyɔa Yehowa o la manya esia oa?

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

Ŋɔdzi lé wo ale gbegbe, elabena Mawu le ame dzɔdzɔewo ƒe hame.

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

Mi nu tovo wɔlawo, miegblẽ ame dahewo ƒe ɖoɖowo me, gake Yehowae nye woƒe sitsoƒe.

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

O! Xɔname ado tso Zion na Israel. Ne Yehowa gaɖo eƒe amewo ƒe nunyonamewo te la, na Yakob natso aseye, eye Israel nakpɔ dzidzɔ!
