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.

To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David. The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, [there is] none that doeth good.

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

The LORD looked down from heaven upon 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 doeth 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 upon 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.

Ye 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 bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.
