< Psalmi 14 >
1 Dāvida dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim. Ģeķi saka savā sirdī Dieva nav; tie ir samaitājušies un sagānījušies ar savu darbošanos, neviena nav, kas labu dara.
To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted themselves, they have done abominable works: there is none that doeth good.
2 Tas Kungs skatās no debesīm uz cilvēku bērniem, raudzīt, vai jel kas būtu prātīgs, kas meklē Dievu.
Jehovah looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
3 Bet tie visi atkāpušies, visnotaļ smirdoši tapuši, neviena nav, kas labu dara, nav it neviena.
They have all gone aside, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one.
4 Vai tad nav nekādas atzīšanas tiem ļauna darītājiem, kas ēd manus ļaudis, tā kā ēd maizi, bet To Kungu tie nepiesauc?
Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people [as] they eat bread? They call not upon Jehovah.
5 Tad tie bīdamies izbīstas, jo Dievs ir pie tās taisnās cilts.
There were they in great fear; for God is in the generation of the righteous.
6 Jūs nievājat nabaga padomu, bet Tas Kungs ir viņa patvērums.
Ye have shamed the counsel of the afflicted, because Jehovah [was] his refuge.
7 Ak! Kaut no Ciānas nāktu Israēla pestīšana! Kad Tas Kungs atkal atved Savus cietuma ļaudis, tad Jēkabs priecāsies un Israēls līksmosies.
Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.
