Psalmi 58
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ne pogubi!” Davidov. Miktam. Zar doista krojite pravdu, vi moćni, zar sudite pravo, sinovi ljudski?
“For the leader of the music. To the tune of “Do not destroy.” A psalm of David.” Do ye, indeed, administer justice faithfully, ye mighty ones? Do ye judge with uprightness, ye sons of men?
2 Ne, već bezakonje smišljeno činite, po zemlji vam ruke dijele nepravde.
Nay, in your hearts ye contrive iniquity; Your hands weigh out violence in the land!
3 Na krivu su putu bezbošci od krila majčina, na krivu su putu lašci od utrobe.
The wicked are estranged, from their very birth; The liars go astray as soon as they are born.
4 U njima je otrov kao u zmije, kao u ljutice što uši začepljuje
They have poison, like the poison of a serpent; Like the deaf adder's, which stoppeth her ear;
5 da glas čarobnjakov ne čuje ni glas bajača vješta bajanju.
Which listeneth not to the voice of the charmer, And of the sorcerer, skilful in incantations.
6 O Bože, polomi im zube u ustima; razbij, o Jahve, čeljusti lavićima!
Break their teeth, O God! in their mouths! Break out the great teeth of the lions, O LORD!
7 K'o vode što hitro otječu neka se razliju, k'o zgažena trava neka se osuše.
May they melt like waters, which flow away; May their arrows, when they aim them, be as if cut in pieces!
8 Nek' budu k'o puž koji se pužuć' rastoči, k'o pometnut plot nek' sunca ne vide.
May they be like the snail, which melteth away as it goeth; Like the abortion of a woman, that seeth not the sun!
9 Prije nego vam kotlovi trnje osjete, dok je zeleno, neka ga vihor odnese.
Before your pots feel the heat of the thorns, Whether fresh, or burning, may they be blown away!
10 Radostan će biti pravednik kad ugleda odmazdu, noge će prati u krvi zlotvora.
The righteous shall rejoice, when he seeth such vengeance; He shall bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 I reći će ljudi: “Pravednik plod svoj ima! Još ima Boga da sudi na zemlji!”
Then shall men say, “Truly there is a reward for the righteous! Truly there is a God who is judge upon the earth!”
