Salamo 14

1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Nataon’ i Davida.

The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that does good.

2 Eny an-danitra Jehovah miondrika mijery ny zanak’ olombelona, mba hizaha na misy hendry mitady an’ Andriamanitra.

The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

3 Samy efa nivily izy rehetra ka tonga vetaveta avokoa; tsy misy manao ny tsara, na dia iray akory aza.

They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that does good, no, not one.

4 Tsy mahalala va ny mpanao ratsy rehetra, izay mihinana ny oloko toy ny fihinan-kanina, ary Jehovah tsy antsoiny?

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

5 Indreo, matahotra dia matahotra izy, satria Andriamanitra no eo amin’ ny taranaka marina.

There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

6 Na dia foananareo aza ny fisainan’ ny ory, Jehovah kosa no arony.

All of you have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

7 Enga anie ka hivoaka avy ao Ziona ny famonjena ny Isiraely! Raha ampodin’ i Jehovah avy amin’ ny fahababoana ny olony, dia ho faly Jakoba, ary ho ravoravo Isiraely.

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD brings back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
