Zaburi 14

1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Mpumbavu anasema moyoni mwake, “Hakuna Mungu.” Wameharibika, matendo yao ni maovu kabisa; hakuna hata mmoja atendaye mema.

The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that does good.

2 Bwana anawachungulia wanadamu chini kutoka mbinguni aone kama wako wenye akili, wowote wanaomtafuta Mungu.

The LORD looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

3 Wote wamepotoka, wameharibika wote pamoja, hakuna atendaye mema. Naam, hakuna hata mmoja!

They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that does good, no, not one.

4 Je, watendao mabaya kamwe hawatajifunza: wale ambao huwala watu wangu kama watu walavyo mkate, hao ambao hawamwiti Bwana?

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not on the LORD.

5 Wako hapo, wameingiwa na hofu kuu, maana Mungu yupo pamoja na wenye haki.

There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

6 Ninyi watenda mabaya mnakwamisha mipango ya maskini, bali Bwana ndiye kimbilio lao.

You have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

7 Laiti wokovu wa Israeli ungalikuja kutoka Sayuni! Wakati Bwana arejeshapo wafungwa wa watu wake, Yakobo na ashangilie, Israeli na afurahi!

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD brings back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
