Psalmi 14

1 Bedak je rekel v svojem srcu: »Ni Boga.« Izprijeni so, počeli so gnusna dela, nikogar ni, ki dela dobro.

Unto the end. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They were corrupted, and they have become abominable in their studies. There is no one who does good; there is not even one.

2 Gospod je pogledal dol z neba na človeške otroke, da vidi, ali obstaja kdorkoli, ki je razumel in išče Boga.

The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any who were considering or seeking God.

3 Vsi so odšli vstran, vsi skupaj so postali pokvarjeni. Nikogar ni, ki dela dobro, ne, niti enega ni.

They have all gone astray; together they have become useless. There is no one who does good; there is not even one. Their throat is an open sepulcher. With their tongues, they have been acting deceitfully; the venom of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood. Grief and unhappiness are in their ways; and the way of peace, they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.

4 Mar vsi delavci krivičnosti nimajo spoznanja? Ki žro moje ljudstvo, kakor jedo kruh, pa ne kličejo h Gospodu?

Will they never learn: all those who work iniquity, who devour my people like a meal of bread?

5 Bili so v velikem strahu, kajti Bog je z rodom pravičnih.

They have not called upon the Lord. There, they have trembled in fear, where there was no fear.

6 Sramotili ste nasvet siromašnega, zato ker je Gospod njegovo pribežališče.

For the Lord is with the just generation. You have confounded the counsel of the needy because the Lord is his hope.

7 Oh, da bi Izraelova rešitev duš prišla iz Siona! Ko Gospod privede nazaj ujete svojega ljudstva, se bo Jakob veselil in Izrael bo vesel.

Who will grant the salvation of Israel from Zion? When the Lord turns away the captivity of his people, Jacob will exult, and Israel will rejoice.
