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.

Dawid dwom. Ɔkwasea ka wɔ ne koma mu se, “Onyankopɔn bi nni hɔ.” Wɔaporɔw, na wɔn nneyɛe yɛ fi na wɔn mu biara nni hɔ a ɔyɛ ade pa.

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

Awurade fi ɔsoro hwɛ adesamma wɔ fam sɛ obehu wɔn mu bi a wɔwɔ ntease, anaa ebinom a wɔhwehwɛ Onyankopɔn.

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

Nanso nnipa nyinaa atwe wɔn ho afi Onyankopɔn ho; wɔn nyinaa ayɛ bɔne. Obiara nni hɔ a ɔyɛ papa. Ɔbaako mpo nni hɔ.

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

Enti abɔnefo rensua nyansa ana? Wɔwe me nkurɔfo te sɛnea nnipa di aduan. Wonnsu mfrɛ Awurade?

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

Nanso wonni, ehu akyekyere wɔn, efisɛ Onyankopɔn te wɔn a wɔteɛ mu.

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

Mo nnebɔneyɛfo sɛe ahiafo nhyehyɛe, nanso, Awurade ne wɔn guankɔbea.

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!

Ao, Israel nkwagye mfi Sion mmra! Awurade bɛsan de ne nkurɔfo agyapade ama wɔn. Na Yakob adi ahurusi, na Israel ani agye!
