Sòm 14

1 Pou direktè koral la; yon sòm David Moun fou a di nan kè l: “Nanpwen Bondye.” Yo konwonpi. Yo te fè zak abominab. Nanpwen ki fè sa ki bon.

To the chief music-maker. Of David. The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.

2 SENYÈ a te gade anba soti nan syèl la sou fis a lòm yo pou wè si genyen ki konprann, k ap chache Bondye.

The Lord was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God.

3 Yo tout te vire akote. Ansanm yo te vin konwonpi. Nanpwen ki fè sa ki bon, pa menm youn.

They have all gone out of the way together; they are unclean, there is not one who does good, no, not one.

4 Èske tout malfektè inikite yo pa konnen, (sila) Ki manje pèp mwen yo tankou y ap manje pen an, san yo pa rele SENYÈ a?

Have all the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food as they would take bread; they make no prayer to the Lord.

5 La, yo nan gwo danje, paske Bondye rete avèk jenerasyon ki dwat la.

Then were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the upright.

6 Nou meprize bezwen aflije a, men SENYÈ a se refij li.

You have put to shame the thoughts of the poor, but the Lord is his support.

7 O ke sali Israël la ta sòti nan Sion! Lè SENYÈ a restore pèp kaptif li a, Jacob va rejwi, e Israël va gen kè kontan.

May the salvation of Israel come out of Zion! when the fate of his people is changed by the Lord, Jacob will have joy and Israel will be glad.
