Salamo 14

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

“To the chief musician, by David.” The worthless fool saith in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they are abominable [in their] doings, there is none that doth good.

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

The Lord looketh down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be one intelligent, one who seeketh for 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 altogether become corrupt: there is none that doth good, no, not even one.

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

Is there no knowledge in all the workers of wickedness? who eat up my people as they eat bread; [while] they do not call on the Lord.

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

There are they terrified in terror; for God is with the righteous generation:

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

The counsel of the poor [though] you put to shame; because the Lord is his protection.

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 some one might bring the salvation of Israel out of Zion! When the Lord bringeth back the captivity of his people, then will Jacob be glad, and Israel will rejoice.
