Salamo 14

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

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no Elohim ·Deity, Judge·.” They are corrupt. They have done abominable deeds. There is no one who does good.

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

Adonai looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.

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

All have gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is no one who 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 vain striving of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on Adonai?

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

There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the upright.

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

You frustrate the plan of the poor, because Adonai 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 yishu'ah ·salvation· of Israel [God prevails] would come out of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking]! When Adonai restores the fortunes of his people, then Jacob [Supplanter] shall rejoice, and Israel [God prevails] shall be glad.
