Psalm 14

1 [Psalm lal David] Mwet lalfon elos fahk insialos, “Wangin God!” Elos nukewa koluklana, Ac elos oru ma na srungayuk; Wangin sie selos oru ma suwohs.

For the choirmaster. Of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their acts are vile. There is no one who does good.

2 LEUM GOD El muta inkusrao ac ngeti nu fin mwet uh In liye lah oasr mwet lalmwetmet, Ku oasr mwet alu nu sel.

The LORD looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.

3 Tusruktu, elos nukewa kuhfla liki inkanek pwaye; Mwet nukewa oana sie ke koluk lalos. Wangin sie selos oru ma suwohs, Tia siefanna.

All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

4 LEUM GOD El siyuk, “Ya elos tia etu? Ya pwaye mwet orekma koluk inge nukewa wangin nanka? Elos moulkin ma elos pisre sin mwet luk, Ac elos tiana pre nu sik.”

Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon the LORD.

5 Tusruk elos ac fah muta in sangeng lulap, Mweyen God El welulos na su aksol.

There they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is in the company of the righteous.

6 Mwet orekma koluk elos akfohsye pwapa lun mwet pusisel, Tusruktu LEUM GOD El nien molela lalos.

You sinners frustrate the plans of the oppressed, yet the LORD is their shelter.

7 Nga arulana pre tuh kutangla In tuku nu sin mwet Israel Zion me. Ac fuka lupan engan lun mwet Israel Ke LEUM GOD El ac sifilpa akkasrupyalos!

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When the LORD restores His captive people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!
