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.

Mpumbavu husema moyoni mwake, “Hakuna Mungu.” Wamepotoka nakufanya uovu haramu; hakuna hata mmoja atendaye dhambi.

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

Yahwe anatazama chini kwa wanadamu kutoka mbinguni aone kama kuna yeyote anayeelewa, amtafutaye Mungu.

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

Wote wamegeukia njia nyingine. Kwa pamoja wamepotoka. Hakuna yeyote atendaye mema, hakuna, hata mmoja.

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

Je, hawajui lolote, wale wafanyao uovu, wale wanao kula watu wangu kama vile wanakula mkate, lakini hao hawamuiti Yahwe?

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

Wao wana tetemeka kwa hofu. Kwa kuwa Mungu yuko pamoja na kusanyiko la wenye haki!

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

Ninyi mnataka kumfedhehesha mtu maskini japo kuwa Yahwe ni kimbilio lake.

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

Oh, kwamba wokovu wa Israeli ungetokea Sayuni! Wakati Yahwe akiwarudisha watu wake kutoka utumwani, ndipo Yakobo atashangilia na Israeli itakuwa na furaha!
