Ang Kasamaan ng Tao(A)

Katha ni David upang awitin ng Punong Mang-aawit.

14 “Wala(B) namang Diyos!” ang sabi ng hangal sa kanyang sarili.
    Silang lahat ay masasama, kakila-kilabot ang kanilang mga gawa;
    walang gumagawa ng mabuti, wala nga, wala!

Nagmamasid si Yahweh mula sa itaas, sangkatauha'y kanyang sinisiyasat;
    tinitingnan kung may taong marunong pa,
    na sa kanya'y gumagalang at sumasamba.
Silang lahat ay naligaw ng landas,
    at naging masasama silang lahat;
walang gumagawa sa kanila ng tama,
    wala ni isa man, wala nga, wala!

Ang tanong ni Yahweh: “Di ba nila alam,
    itong masasama, lahat na ba'y mangmang?
Itong aking baya'y pinagnanakawan
    at akong si Yahweh ay ayaw dalanginan!”

Darating ang araw na sila'y matatakot, sapagkat kakampi ng Diyos ang mga sa kanya'y sumusunod.
Hadlangan man nila ang balak ng mga taong hamak,
    ngunit si Yahweh ang sa kanila'y mag-iingat.

Ang aking hinihiling nawa ay dumating,
    mula sa Zion, ang kaligtasan ng Israel.
Labis na magagalak ang bayang Israel,
    kapag muli silang pasaganain ni Yahweh.

The Fool Says, There Is No God

To the choirmaster. Of David.

14 (A)The (B)fool says in his heart, (C)“There is no God.”
    They are (D)corrupt, they do abominable deeds;
    (E)there is none who does good.

The Lord (F)looks down from heaven on the children of man,
    to see if there are any who understand,[a]
    who (G)seek after God.

They have all turned aside; together they have become (H)corrupt;
    there is none who does good,
    not even one.

Have they no (I)knowledge, all the evildoers
    who (J)eat up my people as they eat bread
    and (K)do not call upon the Lord?

There they are in great terror,
    for God is with (L)the generation of the righteous.
You would shame the plans of the poor,
    but[b] the Lord is his (M)refuge.

Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
    When the Lord (N)restores the fortunes of his people,
    let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

14 The (B)fool has said in his heart,
There is no God.”
They are corrupt,
They have done abominable works,
There is none who does good.

(C)The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.
(D)They have all turned aside,
They have together become corrupt;
There is none who does good,
No, not one.

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And (E)do not call on the Lord?
There they are in great fear,
For God is with the generation of the righteous.
You shame the counsel of the poor,
But the Lord is his (F)refuge.

(G)Oh,[a] that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
(H)When the Lord brings back [b]the captivity of His people,
Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
