Psalms 14

1 Fún adarí orin. Ti Dafidi. Aṣiwèrè wí nínú ọkàn rẹ̀ pé, “Ko sí Ọlọ́run.” Wọ́n díbàjẹ́, iṣẹ́ wọn sì burú; kò sí ẹnìkan tí yóò ṣe rere.

For the music director. A psalm of David. Only fools tell themselves, “God doesn't exist.” They are completely immoral; they commit terrible sins; not a single one of them does anything good.

2 Olúwa sì bojú wolẹ̀ láti ọ̀run wá lórí àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn bóyá ó le rí ẹni tí òye yé, ẹnikẹ́ni tó ń wá Ọlọ́run.

The Lord watches from heaven to see whether anyone understands—if there's anyone who wants to come to God.

3 Gbogbo wọn sì ti yípadà, gbogbo wọn sì ti díbàjẹ́; kò sì ṣí ẹni tí ó ń ṣe rere, kò sí ẹnìkan.

They have all gone their own way, they are totally depraved; none of them does anything good, not even one.

4 Ǹjẹ́ olùṣe búburú kò ha ní ìmọ̀? Àwọn tí ó ń pa ènìyàn mi jẹ bí ẹní jẹun; wọn kò sì ké pe Olúwa?

Won't these people who do evil ever learn? They consume my people as if they were eating bread, and refuse to pray to the Lord.

5 Wọ́n wà níbẹ̀, tí a bò mọ́lẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ẹ̀rù, nítorí Ọlọ́run wà ní àwùjọ àwọn olódodo.

Look, they will become terrified, because God is with those who live right.

6 Ẹ̀yin olùṣe búburú da èrò àwọn tálákà rú, ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa ni ààbò wọn.

The wicked dismiss the plans of the poor people, but the Lord looks after them.

7 Ìgbàlà àwọn Israẹli yóò ti Sioni wá! Nígbà tí Olúwa bá mú ìkólọ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ padà, jẹ́ kí Jakọbu kí ó yọ̀, kí inú Israẹli kí ó dùn!

If only the Lord's salvation would come from Zion! When the Lord restores his people, the people of Jacob will celebrate, and the people of Israel will be glad.
