Psalmi 58

1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ne pogubi!” Davidov. Miktam. Zar doista krojite pravdu, vi moćni, zar sudite pravo, sinovi ljudski?

For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial. If ye do indeed speak righteousness, [then] do ye judge rightly, ye sons of men.

2 Ne, već bezakonje smišljeno činite, po zemlji vam ruke dijele nepravde.

For ye work iniquities in [your] hearts in the earth: your hands plot unrighteousness.

3 Na krivu su putu bezbošci od krila majčina, na krivu su putu lašci od utrobe.

Sinners have gone astray from the womb: they go astray from the belly: they speak lies.

4 U njima je otrov kao u zmije, kao u ljutice što uši začepljuje

Their venom is like [that] of a serpent; as [that] of a deaf asp, and that stops her ears;

5 da glas čarobnjakov ne čuje ni glas bajača vješta bajanju.

which will not hear the voice of charmers, nor [heed] the charm prepared skillfully by the wise.

6 O Bože, polomi im zube u ustima; razbij, o Jahve, čeljusti lavićima!

God has crushed their teeth in their mouth: God has broken the cheek-teeth of the lions.

7 K'o vode što hitro otječu neka se razliju, k'o zgažena trava neka se osuše.

They shall utterly pass away like water running through: he shall bend his bow till they shall fail.

8 Nek' budu k'o puž koji se pužuć' rastoči, k'o pometnut plot nek' sunca ne vide.

They shall be destroyed as melted wax: the fire has fallen and they have not seen the sun.

9 Prije nego vam kotlovi trnje osjete, dok je zeleno, neka ga vihor odnese.

Before your thorns feel the white thorn, he shall swallow you up as living, as in his wrath.

10 Radostan će biti pravednik kad ugleda odmazdu, noge će prati u krvi zlotvora.

The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the ungodly: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.

11 I reći će ljudi: “Pravednik plod svoj ima! Još ima Boga da sudi na zemlji!”

And a man shall say, Verily then there is a reward for the righteous: verily there is a God that judges them in the earth.
