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.

Isithutha sithi enhliziyweni yaso: KakulaNkulunkulu. Bonakele, benza imisebenzi eyenyanyekayo; kakho owenza okuhle.

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

INkosi yakhangela phansi isemazulwini phezu kwabantwana babantu, ukubona ukuthi ukhona yini oqedisisayo, odinga uNkulunkulu.

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

Baphambukile bonke, bebonke bonakele; kakho owenza okuhle, kakho loyedwa.

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

Kabazi yini bonke abenza okubi, abadla abantu bami njengoba besidla isinkwa? Kabayibizi iNkosi.

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

Lapho besaba lokwesaba, ngoba uNkulunkulu usesizukulwaneni solungileyo.

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

Liliyangisile icebo lomyanga, ngoba iNkosi iyisiphephelo sakhe.

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.

Kungathi usindiso lukaIsrayeli lungavela eZiyoni! Lapho iNkosi ibuyisa ukuthunjwa kwabantu bayo, uJakobe uzathaba, uIsrayeli athokoze.
