Psalms 14

1 “For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” The fool saith in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; abominable are their doings; There is none that doeth good.

[Aka mawt ham David kah] Hlang ang loh amah lungbuei neh, “Pathen om pawh,” a ti dongah poci uh tih, a bibi khaw tueilaeh kap. A then aka saii khaw om pawh.

2 Jehovah looketh down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any that have understanding, That have regard to God.

Vaan lamkah BOEIPA loh hlang ca rhoek te hmuh hamla a dan. Pathen aka toem lungming khaw om van nim?

3 They are all gone out of the way; together are they corrupt; There is none that doeth good—no, not one.

Hlang boeih loh thikat la taengphael uh tih rhonging uh. A then aka saii om pawh. Pakhat khaw om pawh.

4 Shall not the evil-doers be requited, Who devour my people like bread, And call not upon Jehovah?

Ka pilnam vaidam la aka bai tih aka yoop, BOEIPA aka khue mueh, boethae aka saii boeih loh ming mahpawt nim?

5 Yea, then shall they be in great fear; For Jehovah is with the race of the righteous.

Aka dueng thawnpuei taengah Pathen a om dongah birhihnah neh pahoi birhih uh.

6 Ye would put to shame the counsel of the poor; But Jehovah is their refuge.

Mangdaeng kah a cilsuep te na rholrhak cakhaw BOEIPA te anih kah hlipyingnah ni.

7 Oh that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When Jehovah bringeth back the captives of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel be glad.

Zion lamkah Israel khangnah u long hang khuen. BOEIPA loh a pilnam thongtla te a lat vaengah Jakob omngaih saeh lamtah Israel a kohoe saeh.
