Psalmi 58
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ne pogubi!” Davidov. Miktam. Zar doista krojite pravdu, vi moćni, zar sudite pravo, sinovi ljudski?
For the chief musician; set to Al Tashheth. A psalm of David. A michtam. Do you rulers speak righteousness? Do you judge uprightly, you people?
2 Ne, već bezakonje smišljeno činite, po zemlji vam ruke dijele nepravde.
No, you commit wickedness in your heart; you distribute violence throughout the land with your hands.
3 Na krivu su putu bezbošci od krila majčina, na krivu su putu lašci od utrobe.
The wicked go astray even when they are in the womb; they go astray from birth, speaking lies.
4 U njima je otrov kao u zmije, kao u ljutice što uši začepljuje
Their poison is like a snake's poison; they are like a deaf adder that stops up its ears,
5 da glas čarobnjakov ne čuje ni glas bajača vješta bajanju.
that pays no attention to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful they are.
6 O Bože, polomi im zube u ustima; razbij, o Jahve, čeljusti lavićima!
Break their teeth in their mouths, God; break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.
7 K'o vode što hitro otječu neka se razliju, k'o zgažena trava neka se osuše.
Let them melt away as water that runs off; when they shoot their arrows, let them be as though they had no points.
8 Nek' budu k'o puž koji se pužuć' rastoči, k'o pometnut plot nek' sunca ne vide.
Let them be like a snail that melts and passes away, like the untimely-born child of a woman that never sees the sunlight.
9 Prije nego vam kotlovi trnje osjete, dok je zeleno, neka ga vihor odnese.
Before your pots can feel the thorn's burning heat, he will take them away with a whirlwind, the green thorns and the burning thorns alike.
10 Radostan će biti pravednik kad ugleda odmazdu, noge će prati u krvi zlotvora.
The righteous will rejoice when he sees God's vengeance; he will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,
11 I reći će ljudi: “Pravednik plod svoj ima! Još ima Boga da sudi na zemlji!”
so that men will say, “Truly, there is a reward for the righteous person; truly there is a God who judges the earth.”
