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.

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. KaDavida. Isiwula sithi enhliziyweni yaso, “AkulaNkulunkulu.” Baxhwalile, izenzo zabo zibolile; kakho loyedwa owenza okuhle.

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

UThixo ukhangela phansi esezulwini emadodaneni abantu ingabe bakhona yini abazwisisayo, abamdingayo uNkulunkulu.

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

Bonke baphambukile, bonke sebexhwalile; kakho loyedwa owenza okuhle, kakho lamunye.

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

Kanti lezizixhwali kaziyikufa zafunda yini? Zona ezidla abantu bami ingathi zidla isinkwa, ezingamkhonziyo uThixo.

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

Kodwa yibo abagubhazeliswa luvalo ngoba uNkulunkulu ukhona phakathi kwabalungileyo.

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

Lina benzi bobubi lifubisa amalungiselelo abayanga, kodwa uThixo uyisiphephelo sabo.

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!

Awu, sengathi insindiso ka-Israyeli ingaqhamuka eZiyoni! Nxa uThixo esebuyisela impumelelo yabantu bakhe, kathokoze uJakhobe lo-Israyeli ajabule!
