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.

Bedak je rekel v svojem srcu: »Ni Boga.« Izprijeni so, počeli so gnusna dela, nikogar ni, ki dela dobro.

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

Gospod je pogledal dol z neba na človeške otroke, da vidi, ali obstaja kdorkoli, ki je razumel in išče Boga.

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

Vsi so odšli vstran, vsi skupaj so postali pokvarjeni. Nikogar ni, ki dela dobro, ne, niti enega ni.

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

Mar vsi delavci krivičnosti nimajo spoznanja? Ki žro moje ljudstvo, kakor jedo kruh, pa ne kličejo h Gospodu?

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

Bili so v velikem strahu, kajti Bog je z rodom pravičnih.

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

Sramotili ste nasvet siromašnega, zato ker je Gospod njegovo pribežališče.

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!

Oh, da bi Izraelova rešitev duš prišla iz Siona! Ko Gospod privede nazaj ujete svojega ljudstva, se bo Jakob veselil in Izrael bo vesel.
