Psalmi 14

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

For the leader. Of David. Fools say in their heart, “There is no God.” Vile, hateful their life is; not one does good.

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

From heaven the Lord looks out on humans, to see if any are wise, and care for God.

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

But all have turned bad, the taint is on all; not one does good, no, not one.

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

Have they learned their lesson, those workers of evil? Who ate up my people, eating, devouring, never calling to the Lord.

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

Sore afraid will they be; for God is among those who are righteous,

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

you may mock the plans of the poor, but the Lord is their refuge.

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.

If only help from Zion would come for Israel! When the Lord brings his people a change of fortune, how glad will be Jacob, and Israel how joyful!
