Psalmet 14

1 I pamendi ka thënë në zemër të tij: “Nuk ka Perëndi”. Janë të korruptuar, bëjnë gjëra të neveritshme; nuk ka asnjë që të bëjë të mirën.

For the end, Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted [themselves], and become abominable in their devices; there is none that does goodness, there is not even so much as one.

2 Zoti shikon nga qielli bijtë e njerëzve për të parë në se ndonjeri prej tyre ka arsye dhe kërkon Perëndinë.

The Lord looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after god.

3 Të gjithë kanë devijuar, janë korruptuar; asnjeri nuk bën të mirën, as edhe një.

They are all gone out of the way, they are together become good for nothing, there is none that does good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood: destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes.

4 Nuk kanë fare arsye të gjithë ata që kryejnë paudhësi, që hanë popullin tim si të hanin bukë dhe nuk kërkojnë ndihmën e Zotit?

Will not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon the Lord.

5 Atje do t’i zërë një frikë e madhe, sepse Perëndia është me njerëzit e drejtë.

There were they alarmed with fear, where there was no fear; for God is in the righteous generation.

6 Ju kërkoni të prishni planet e të mjerit, sepse Zoti është streha e tij.

Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his hope.

7 Oh! Le të vijë, pra, nga Sioni shpëtimi i Izraelit! Kur Zoti do ta kthejë popullin e tij nga robëria, Jakobi do të ngazëllojë, Izraeli do të gëzohet.

Who will bring the salvation of Israel out of Sion? when the Lord brings back the captivity of his people, let Jacob exult, and Israel be glad.
