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.

[Only] foolish people say to themselves, “There is no God!” People who say those things are corrupt/worthless; they do abominable/detestable deeds; there is not one [of them] who does what is good/right.

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.

Yahweh looks down from heaven and sees humans; he looks to see if anyone is very wise, with the result that he desires [to know] God.

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

But they are all corrupt/evil; no one does what is good/right.

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?

Will those evil people never learn [what God will do to punish them] [RHQ]? They act violently toward Yahweh’s people while eating the food that he provides, and they never pray to Yahweh.

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

But [some day] they will become very terrified because God helps those who act righteously [and will punish those who reject him].

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

Those who do evil may prevent helpless people from doing what they plan to do, but Yahweh protects those helpless people [MET].

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.

I wish/desire that [Yahweh] would come from Jerusalem [MTY] and rescue [us] Israeli people! Yahweh, when you bless your people again, all of us Israeli people, who are the descendants of Jacob, will rejoice.
