Zaburi 14

1 Mpumbavu husema moyoni mwake, “Hakuna Mungu.” Wamepotoka nakufanya uovu haramu; hakuna hata mmoja atendaye dhambi.

For the Chief Musician. By David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt. They have done abominable deeds. There is no one who does good.

2 Yahwe anatazama chini kwa wanadamu kutoka mbinguni aone kama kuna yeyote anayeelewa, amtafutaye Mungu.

The LORD looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.

3 Wote wamegeukia njia nyingine. Kwa pamoja wamepotoka. Hakuna yeyote atendaye mema, hakuna, hata mmoja.

They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

4 Je, hawajui lolote, wale wafanyao uovu, wale wanao kula watu wangu kama vile wanakula mkate, lakini hao hawamuiti Yahwe?

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

5 Wao wana tetemeka kwa hofu. Kwa kuwa Mungu yuko pamoja na kusanyiko la wenye haki!

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

6 Ninyi mnataka kumfedhehesha mtu maskini japo kuwa Yahwe ni kimbilio lake.

You frustrate the plan of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

7 Oh, kwamba wokovu wa Israeli ungetokea Sayuni! Wakati Yahwe akiwarudisha watu wake kutoka utumwani, ndipo Yakobo atashangilia na Israeli itakuwa na furaha!

Oh that the salvation [yeshuat] of Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
