Psalms 14

1 [For the Chief Musician. By David.] The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt. They do abominable works. There is none who does good.

Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, David ih saam laa. Kamthu loe angmah ih palungthung ah, Sithaw om ai, tiah thuih. Nihcae loe amro o moe, panuet thok hmuennawk to sak o, kahoih hmuen sah kami maeto doeh om ai.

2 Jehovah looks down from heaven on the descendants of Adam, to see if there are any who are wise, who seek after God.

Thaikophaih tawn kami hoi Sithaw pakrong kami oh maw tiah hnuk hanah, Sithaw mah van hoiah kami capanawk to khet tathuk.

3 They have all turned away. They have together become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

Kaminawk loe loklam amkhraeng o boih, nihcae loe panuet thok ah oh o boih boeh: kahoih hmuen sah kami maeto doeh om ai, om roe om ai, maeto doeh om ai.

4 Have all evildoers no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread? They do not call on Jehovah.

Takaw a caak o baktih toengah, kai ih kaminawk to a caak o; zaehaih sah kaminawk boih loe panoekhaih tawn ai ah maw oh o?

5 There they are utterly terrified, for God is in the generation of the righteous.

Katoeng kaminawk khaeah Sithaw oh pongah, nihcae loe paroeai zithaih hoiah koi o.

6 You would frustrate the plans of the lowly, but Jehovah is his refuge.

Angraeng loe amtang kaminawk abuephaih ah oh pongah, amtang kaminawk atimhaih to na paro pae o.

7 Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion. When Jehovah restores the fortunes of his people, may Jacob rejoice, may Israel be glad.

Aw Israelnawk pahlonghaih loe Zion hoiah angzoh! Angraeng mah angmah ih kaminawk misong thung hoiah hoih let naah, Jakob loe oephaih tawn ueloe, Israel loe anghoe tih.
