Psalms 14

1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David. The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, [there is] none that doeth good.

David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Bometsila gblɔna le eƒe dzi me be, “Mawu aɖeke meli o.” Wonye ame tovowo, eye woƒe nuwɔnawo nye ŋunyɔnu; ame ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ hã mele wo dome si wɔa nu nyui o.

2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, [and] seek God.

Yehowa bi kɔ kpɔ amegbetɔviwo ɖa tso dziƒo, be wòakpɔe ɖa be nugɔmesela aɖe le wo dome, eye wòdia Mawu vevie mahã?

3 They are all gone aside, they are [all] together become filthy: [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.

Wo katã wodze ɖe aga, wo katã tim wogblẽ; ame aɖeke meli si wɔa nu nyui o, ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã meli o.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people [as] they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

Ɖe nu tovo wɔlawo, ame siwo ɖua nye amewo abe abolo ene, eye womeyɔa Yehowa o la manya esia oa?

5 There were they in great fear: for God [is] in the generation of the righteous.

Ŋɔdzi lé wo ale gbegbe, elabena Mawu le ame dzɔdzɔewo ƒe hame.

6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD [is] his refuge.

Mi nu tovo wɔlawo, miegblẽ ame dahewo ƒe ɖoɖowo me, gake Yehowae nye woƒe sitsoƒe.

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.

O! Xɔname ado tso Zion na Israel. Ne Yehowa gaɖo eƒe amewo ƒe nunyonamewo te la, na Yakob natso aseye, eye Israel nakpɔ dzidzɔ!
