Psalms 14

1 To the Overseer. — By David. A fool hath said in his heart, 'God is not;' They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.

Aka mawt ham David kah Hlang ang loh amah lungbuei neh, “Pathen om pawh,” a ti dongah poci uh tih, a bibi khaw tueilaeh kap. A then aka saii khaw om pawh.

2 Jehovah from the heavens Hath looked on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one — seeking God.

Vaan lamkah BOEIPA loh hlang ca rhoek te hmuh hamla a dan. Pathen aka toem lungming khaw om van nim?

3 The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one.

Hlang boeih loh thikat la taengphael uh tih rhonging uh. A then aka saii om pawh. Pakhat khaw om pawh.

4 Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.

Ka pilnam vaidam la aka bai tih aka yoop, BOEIPA aka khue mueh, boethae aka saii boeih loh ming mahpawt nim?

5 There they have feared a fear, For God [is] in the generation of the righteous.

Aka dueng thawnpuei taengah Pathen a om dongah birhihnah neh pahoi birhih uh.

6 The counsel of the poor ye cause to stink, Because Jehovah [is] his refuge.

Mangdaeng kah a cilsuep te na rholrhak cakhaw BOEIPA te anih kah hlipyingnah ni.

7 'Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When Jehovah doth turn back [To] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice — Israel is glad!

Zion lamkah Isreal khangnah u long hang khuen. BOEIPA loh a pilnam thongtla te a lat vaengah Jakob omngaih saeh lamtah Israel a kohoe saeh.
