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.

Mpumbavu husema moyoni mwake, “Hakuna Mungu.” Wamepotoka nakufanya uovu haramu; hakuna hata mmoja atendaye dhambi.

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

Yahwe anatazama chini kwa wanadamu kutoka mbinguni aone kama kuna yeyote anayeelewa, amtafutaye Mungu.

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

Wote wamegeukia njia nyingine. Kwa pamoja wamepotoka. Hakuna yeyote atendaye mema, hakuna, hata mmoja.

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

Je, hawajui lolote, wale wafanyao uovu, wale wanao kula watu wangu kama vile wanakula mkate, lakini hao hawamuiti Yahwe?

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

Wao wana tetemeka kwa hofu. Kwa kuwa Mungu yuko pamoja na kusanyiko la wenye haki!

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

Ninyi mnataka kumfedhehesha mtu maskini japo kuwa Yahwe ni kimbilio lake.

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.

Oh, kwamba wokovu wa Israeli ungetokea Sayuni! Wakati Yahwe akiwarudisha watu wake kutoka utumwani, ndipo Yakobo atashangilia na Israeli itakuwa na furaha!
