Salamo 14

1 Ho a i Talèn-tsakera; Sabo’ i Davide Hoe ty mineñe an-tro’e ao: Tsy eo ze o Andrianañahare zao. Lo-tsereke irezay, mitoloñe an-kativañe; leo raike tsy manao soa.

To the chief music-maker. Of David. The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.

2 Misary o ana’ ondatio hirik’an-dikerañ’ ao t’Iehovà, hahaoniña’e ke eo ty mahilala mpitsoeke an’ Andrianañahare.

The Lord was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God.

3 Sindre mandifike, mitrao-kaleorañe; tsy eo ty manao soa, leo raike.

They have all gone out of the way together; they are unclean, there is not one who does good, no, not one.

4 Songa tsy aman-kilala o mpitolon-karatiañeo, o mampibotseke ondatikoo manahake ty filintseña’e mofo, vaho tsy mitoka Iehovà.

Have all the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food as they would take bread; they make no prayer to the Lord.

5 An-gebahebak’ ao iereo, fe amy tariratse vañoñey t’i Andrianañahare.

Then were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the upright.

6 Ho naoveove’ areo ty fikabijà’ o rarakeo, fe fitsoloha’iareo t’Iehovà.

You have put to shame the thoughts of the poor, but the Lord is his support.

7 Toe hiboake Tsiône ao ty fandrombaha’ Israele! ie ampitolihe’ Iehovà ty fandrohizañe ondati’eo; le hirebeke t’Iakobe, vaho hifale t’Israele!

May the salvation of Israel come out of Zion! when the fate of his people is changed by the Lord, Jacob will have joy and Israel will be glad.
