Psalmi 58
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ne pogubi!” Davidov. Miktam. Zar doista krojite pravdu, vi moćni, zar sudite pravo, sinovi ljudski?
To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalme of David on Michtam. Is it true? O Congregation, speake ye iustly? O sonnes of men, iudge ye vprightly?
2 Ne, već bezakonje smišljeno činite, po zemlji vam ruke dijele nepravde.
Yea, rather ye imagine mischiefe in your heart: your hands execute crueltie vpon the earth.
3 Na krivu su putu bezbošci od krila majčina, na krivu su putu lašci od utrobe.
The wicked are strangers from ye wombe: euen from the belly haue they erred, and speake lyes.
4 U njima je otrov kao u zmije, kao u ljutice što uši začepljuje
Their poyson is euen like the poyson of a serpent: like ye deafe adder that stoppeth his eare.
5 da glas čarobnjakov ne čuje ni glas bajača vješta bajanju.
Which heareth not the voyce of the inchanter, though he be most expert in charming.
6 O Bože, polomi im zube u ustima; razbij, o Jahve, čeljusti lavićima!
Breake their teeth, O God, in their mouthes: breake the iawes of the yong lions, O Lord.
7 K'o vode što hitro otječu neka se razliju, k'o zgažena trava neka se osuše.
Let them melt like the waters, let them passe away: when hee shooteth his arrowes, let them be as broken.
8 Nek' budu k'o puž koji se pužuć' rastoči, k'o pometnut plot nek' sunca ne vide.
Let them consume like a snayle that melteth, and like the vntimely fruite of a woman, that hath not seene the sunne.
9 Prije nego vam kotlovi trnje osjete, dok je zeleno, neka ga vihor odnese.
As raw flesh before your pots feele the fire of thornes: so let him cary them away as with a whirlewinde in his wrath.
10 Radostan će biti pravednik kad ugleda odmazdu, noge će prati u krvi zlotvora.
The righteous shall reioyce when he seeeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feete in the blood of the wicked.
11 I reći će ljudi: “Pravednik plod svoj ima! Još ima Boga da sudi na zemlji!”
And men shall say, Verily there is fruite for the righteous: doutlesse there is a God that iudgeth in the earth.
