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 nʼakoma mu sɛ, “Onyankopɔn bi nni hɔ.” Wɔaporɔ, na wɔn nneyɛɛ 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 firi ɔsoro hwɛ adasamma sɛ ɔbɛhunu wɔn mu bi a wɔwɔ nteaseɛ, 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 afiri 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 nnebɔneyɛfoɔ rensua nyansa anaa? Wɔwe me nkurɔfoɔ te sɛ deɛ nnipa di aduane. Wɔnnsu mfrɛ Awurade?

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

Wɔn nie, ehu akyekyere wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ Onyankopɔn te wɔn a wɔtene mu.

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

Mo nnebɔneyɛfoɔ sɛe ahiafoɔ nhyehyɛeɛ, nanso, Awurade ne wɔn dwanekɔbea.

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, ma Israel nkwagyeɛ mfiri Sion mmra! Awurade bɛsane de ne nkurɔfoɔ agyapadeɛ ama wɔn. Na Yakob adi ahurisie, na Israel ani agye!
