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.

Isithutha sithi enhliziyweni yaso: KakulaNkulunkulu. Bonakele, benza imisebenzi eyenyanyekayo; kakho owenza okuhle.

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

INkosi yakhangela phansi isemazulwini phezu kwabantwana babantu, ukubona ukuthi ukhona yini oqedisisayo, odinga uNkulunkulu.

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

Baphambukile bonke, bebonke bonakele; kakho owenza okuhle, kakho loyedwa.

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

Kabazi yini bonke abenza okubi, abadla abantu bami njengoba besidla isinkwa? Kabayibizi iNkosi.

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

Lapho besaba lokwesaba, ngoba uNkulunkulu usesizukulwaneni solungileyo.

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

Liliyangisile icebo lomyanga, ngoba iNkosi iyisiphephelo sakhe.

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

Kungathi usindiso lukaIsrayeli lungavela eZiyoni! Lapho iNkosi ibuyisa ukuthunjwa kwabantu bayo, uJakobe uzathaba, uIsrayeli athokoze.
