Psalmowo 14

1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Bometsila gblɔna le eƒe dzi me be, “Mawu aɖeke meli o.” Wonye ame tovowo, eye woƒe nuwɔnawo nye ŋunyɔnu; ame ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ hã mele wo dome si wɔa nu nyui o.

For the Leader. A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart: 'There is no God'; they have dealt corruptly, they have done abominably; there is none that doeth good.

2 Yehowa bi kɔ kpɔ amegbetɔviwo ɖa tso dziƒo, be wòakpɔe ɖa be nugɔmesela aɖe le wo dome, eye wòdia Mawu vevie mahã?

The LORD looked forth from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any man of understanding, that did seek after God.

3 Wo katã wodze ɖe aga, wo katã tim wogblẽ; ame aɖeke meli si wɔa nu nyui o, ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã meli o.

They are all corrupt, they are together become impure; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

4 Ɖe nu tovo wɔlawo, ame siwo ɖua nye amewo abe abolo ene, eye womeyɔa Yehowa o la manya esia oa?

'Shall not all the workers of iniquity know it, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD?'

5 Ŋɔdzi lé wo ale gbegbe, elabena Mawu le ame dzɔdzɔewo ƒe hame.

There are they in great fear; for God is with the righteous generation.

6 Mi nu tovo wɔlawo, miegblẽ ame dahewo ƒe ɖoɖowo me, gake Yehowae nye woƒe sitsoƒe.

Ye would put to shame the counsel of the poor, but the LORD is his refuge.

7 O! Xɔname ado tso Zion na Israel. Ne Yehowa gaɖo eƒe amewo ƒe nunyonamewo te la, na Yakob natso aseye, eye Israel nakpɔ dzidzɔ!

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When the LORD turneth the captivity of His people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
