Psalms 14

1 [Only] foolish people say to themselves, “There is no God!” People who say those things are corrupt/worthless; they do abominable/detestable deeds; there is not one [of them] who does what is good/right.

Kuom jatend wer. Zaburi mar Daudi. Ngʼat mofuwo wacho e chunye niya, “Nyasaye onge.” Gin joma okethore, timbegi richo mokalo tongʼ, onge kata ngʼato achiel matimo maber.

2 Yahweh looks down from heaven and sees humans; he looks to see if anyone is very wise, with the result that he desires [to know] God.

Jehova Nyasaye ngʼiyo ji duto gie polo, mondo oneye ka bende nitie moro kuomgi ma nigi winjo, kata ka bende nitie moro kuomgi mamanyo Nyasaye.

3 But they are all corrupt/evil; no one does what is good/right.

Ji duto osebaro, giduto kaachiel gisedoko joma okethore; onge ngʼama timo maber, onge kata achiel.

4 Will those evil people never learn [what God will do to punish them] [RHQ]? They act violently toward Yahweh’s people while eating the food that he provides, and they never pray to Yahweh.

Bende joma timo timbe maricho dipuonjre adier? Gin joma kidho joga kaka ji chamo kuon; kendo gin joma ok luong Jehova Nyasaye mondo okonygi.

5 But [some day] they will become very terrified because God helps those who act righteously [and will punish those who reject him].

Negie kaka luoro dwaro negogi, nikech Nyasaye nitie e chokruok mar joma kare.

6 Those who do evil may prevent helpless people from doing what they plan to do, but Yahweh protects those helpless people [MET].

Un joma timo gik maricho, uketho chenro joma odhier, to Jehova Nyasaye e kar pondo margi.

7 I wish/desire that [Yahweh] would come from Jerusalem [MTY] and rescue [us] Israeli people! Yahweh, when you bless your people again, all of us Israeli people, who are the descendants of Jacob, will rejoice.

Yaye, mad warruok mar Israel obi koa Sayun! Kinde ma Jehova Nyasaye duogo ne joge mwandugi, onego joka Jakobo obed moil kendo Israel obed mamor!
