Sòm 14

1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Moun fou yo di nan kè yo: Pa gen Bondye. Yo tout fin pouri. Y'ap fè yon bann vye bagay sal. Pa gen yonn ki fè sa ki byen.

For the leader. Of David. Fools say in their heart, ‘There is no God.’ Vile, hateful their life is; not one does good.

2 Seyè a rete nan syèl la, l'ap gade lèzòm anba, pou l' wè si gen ladan yo ki gen konprann, si gen ladan yo k'ap chache l'.

From heaven the Lord looks out on humans, to see if any are wise, and care for God.

3 Men yo tout pèdi chemen yo. Yo tout lage kò yo nan vis. Pa gen yonn ladan yo ki fè sa ki byen, non, pa menm yon sèl ladan yo.

But all have turned bad, the taint is on all; not one does good, no, not one.

4 Seyè a di: Moun sa yo k'ap fè mechanste yo, se konnen yo pa konnen? Y'ap souse pèp mwen an pou yo ka viv. Pa gen yonn ladan yo ki rele non mwen!

Have they learned their lesson, those workers of evil? Who ate up my people, eating, devouring, never calling to the Lord.

5 Men tou, yo pral sezi, yo pral tranble paske Bondye la avèk moun ki mache dwat yo.

Sore afraid will they be; for God is among those who are righteous,

6 Y'ap pase sa malere yo gen lide fè a nan betiz, men se nan Seyè a malere yo mete konfyans yo.

you may mock the plans of the poor, but the Lord is their refuge.

7 Oo! Kilè Bondye va soti sou mòn Siyon an pou l' vin delivre pèp Izrayèl la? Lè Seyè a va fè pèp li a kanpe ankò, pitit pitit Jakòb yo pral fè fèt. Se vre wi, pèp Izrayèl la pral kontan.

If only help from Zion would come for Israel! When the Lord brings his people a change of fortune, how glad will be Jacob, and Israel how joyful!
