Psalms 14

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo no. Dawid dwom. Ɔkwasea ka wɔ ne koma mu se, “Onyankopɔn bi nni hɔ.” Wɔaporɔw, na wɔn nneyɛe yɛ fi na wɔn mu biara nni hɔ a ɔyɛ ade pa.

2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

Awurade fi ɔsoro hwɛ adesamma wɔ fam sɛ obehu wɔn mu bi a wɔwɔ ntease, anaa ebinom a wɔhwehwɛ Onyankopɔn.

3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Nanso nnipa nyinaa atwe wɔn ho afi Onyankopɔn ho; wɔn nyinaa ayɛ bɔne. Obiara nni hɔ a ɔyɛ papa. Ɔbaako mpo nni hɔ.

4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

Enti abɔnefo rensua nyansa ana? Wɔwe me nkurɔfo te sɛnea nnipa di aduan. Wonnsu mfrɛ Awurade?

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

Nanso wonni, ehu akyekyere wɔn, efisɛ Onyankopɔn te wɔn a wɔteɛ mu.

6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

Mo nnebɔneyɛfo sɛe ahiafo nhyehyɛe, nanso, Awurade ne wɔn guankɔbea.

7 O that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Ao, Israel nkwagye mfi Sion mmra! Awurade bɛsan de ne nkurɔfo agyapade ama wɔn. Na Yakob adi ahurusi, na Israel ani agye!
