< ज़बूर 14 >
1 बेवकू़फ़ ने अपने दिल में कहा है, कि कोई ख़ुदा नहीं। वह बिगड़ गए, उन्होंने नफ़रतअंगेज़ काम किए हैं; कोई नेकोकार नहीं।
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 ख़ुदावन्द ने आसमान पर से बनी आदम पर निगाह की ताकि देखे कि कोई अक़्लमन्द, कोई ख़ुदा का तालिब है या नहीं।
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 वह सब के सब गुमराह हुए, वह एक साथ नापाक हो गए, कोई नेकोकार नहीं, एक भी नहीं।
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 क्या उन सब बदकिरदारों को कुछ'इल्म नहीं, जो मेरे लोगों को ऐसे खा जाते हैं जैसे रोटी, और ख़ुदावन्द का नाम नहीं लेते?
Will they never learn: all those who work iniquity, who devour my people like a meal of bread?
5 वहाँ उन पर बड़ा ख़ौफ़ छा गया, क्यूँकि ख़ुदा सादिक़ नसल के साथ है।
They have not called upon the Lord. There, they have trembled in fear, where there was no fear.
6 तुम ग़रीब की मश्वरत की हँसी उड़ाते हो; इसलिए के ख़ुदावन्द उसकी पनाह है।
For the Lord is with the just generation. You have confounded the counsel of the needy because the Lord is his hope.
7 काश कि इस्राईल की नजात सिय्यून में से होती! जब ख़ुदावन्द अपने लोगों को ग़ुलामी से लौटा लाएगा, तो या'क़ूब ख़ुश और इस्राईल शादमान होगा।
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.
