Psalms 14

1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. A fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt and have done abominable iniquity; there is no one who does good.

Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, David ih saam laa. Kamthu loe angmah ih palungthung ah, Sithaw om ai, tiah thuih. Nihcae loe amro o moe, panuet thok hmuennawk to sak o, kahoih hmuen sah kami maeto doeh om ai.

2 Yahweh looks down from heaven on the children of mankind to see if there are any who understand, who seek after him.

Thaikophaih tawn kami hoi Sithaw pakrong kami oh maw tiah hnuk hanah, Sithaw mah van hoiah kami capanawk to khet tathuk.

3 They have all turned away. Together they have become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

Kaminawk loe loklam amkhraeng o boih, nihcae loe panuet thok ah oh o boih boeh: kahoih hmuen sah kami maeto doeh om ai, om roe om ai, maeto doeh om ai.

4 Do they not know anything, those who commit iniquity, those who eat up my people as they eat bread, but who do not call on Yahweh?

Takaw a caak o baktih toengah, kai ih kaminawk to a caak o; zaehaih sah kaminawk boih loe panoekhaih tawn ai ah maw oh o?

5 They tremble with dread, for God is with the righteous assembly!

Katoeng kaminawk khaeah Sithaw oh pongah, nihcae loe paroeai zithaih hoiah koi o.

6 You want to humiliate the poor person even though Yahweh is his refuge.

Angraeng loe amtang kaminawk abuephaih ah oh pongah, amtang kaminawk atimhaih to na paro pae o.

7 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When Yahweh brings back his people from the captivity, then Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad!

Aw Israelnawk pahlonghaih loe Zion hoiah angzoh! Angraeng mah angmah ih kaminawk misong thung hoiah hoih let naah, Jakob loe oephaih tawn ueloe, Israel loe anghoe tih.
