Psalm 14

1 [Psalm lal David] Mwet lalfon elos fahk insialos, “Wangin God!” Elos nukewa koluklana, Ac elos oru ma na srungayuk; Wangin sie selos oru ma suwohs.

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 LEUM GOD El muta inkusrao ac ngeti nu fin mwet uh In liye lah oasr mwet lalmwetmet, Ku oasr mwet alu nu sel.

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

3 Tusruktu, elos nukewa kuhfla liki inkanek pwaye; Mwet nukewa oana sie ke koluk lalos. Wangin sie selos oru ma suwohs, Tia siefanna.

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

4 LEUM GOD El siyuk, “Ya elos tia etu? Ya pwaye mwet orekma koluk inge nukewa wangin nanka? Elos moulkin ma elos pisre sin mwet luk, Ac elos tiana pre nu sik.”

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 Tusruk elos ac fah muta in sangeng lulap, Mweyen God El welulos na su aksol.

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

6 Mwet orekma koluk elos akfohsye pwapa lun mwet pusisel, Tusruktu LEUM GOD El nien molela lalos.

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

7 Nga arulana pre tuh kutangla In tuku nu sin mwet Israel Zion me. Ac fuka lupan engan lun mwet Israel Ke LEUM GOD El ac sifilpa akkasrupyalos!

Oh that the salvation 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.
