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.

[Only] foolish people say to themselves, “There is no God!” People who say those things are corrupt/worthless; they do abominable/detestable deeds; there is not one [of them] who does what is good/right.

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

Yahweh looks down from heaven and sees humans; he looks to see if anyone is very wise, with the result that he desires [to know] God.

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

But they are all corrupt/evil; no one does what is good/right.

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

Will those evil people never learn [what God will do to punish them] [RHQ]? They act violently toward Yahweh’s people while eating the food that he provides, and they never pray to Yahweh.

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

But [some day] they will become very terrified because God helps those who act righteously [and will punish those who reject him].

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

Those who do evil may prevent helpless people from doing what they plan to do, but Yahweh protects those helpless people [MET].

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

I wish/desire that [Yahweh] would come from Jerusalem [MTY] and rescue [us] Israeli people! Yahweh, when you bless your people again, all of us Israeli people, who are the descendants of Jacob, will rejoice.
