Psalms 14

1 To the Chief Musician. David’s. The impious hath said in his heart—There is no God! They have acted corruptly, they have done an abominable deed, there is none that doeth good.

Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo no. 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 Yahweh, out of the heavens, looked down over the sons of men, —to see whether there was one that showed wisdom, enquiring after God: —

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

3 The whole, have turned aside, Together have they become tainted, —There is none that doeth good, not so much as, 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 Are all the workers of iniquity, without knowledge? devouring my people [as] they devour food! Upon Yahweh, have they not called.

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

5 There have they been in great dread, because, God, is in the circle of the righteous man.

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

6 The purpose of the poor, ye would put to shame, because, Yahweh, is his refuge.

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

7 Oh that, out of Zion, were granted the salvation of Israel! When Yahweh bringeth back the captives of his people, Jacob, shall exult, Israel, be glad.

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