Psalms 58
1 Do ye indeed speak righteousness in silence? Do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Potsata mayimbidwe a “Musawononge.” Ndakatulo ya Davide. Kodi inu olamulira mumayankhuladi molungama? Kodi mumaweruza mwachilungamo pakati pa anthu?
2 No! In heart ye work wickedness. Ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.
Ayi, mʼmitima mwanu mumakonzekera zosalungama, ndipo manja anu amatulutsa zachiwawa pa dziko lapansi.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb. They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
Ngakhale kuchokera tsiku lawo lobadwa oyipa amasochera; kuchokera mʼmimba ya amayi awo, iwo ndi otayika ndipo amayankhula mabodza.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent, like the deaf adder that stops her ear,
Ululu wawo uli ngati ululu wa njoka, ngati uja wa mphiri imene yatseka mʼmakutu mwake.
5 which hearkens not to the voice of charmers, charming ever so wisely.
Imene simva liwu la munthu wamatsenga, ngakhale akhale wa luso lotani munthu wamatsengayo.
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah.
Gululani mano mʼkamwa mwawo, Inu Mulungu, Yehova khadzulani mano a mikango!
7 Let them melt away as water that runs with haste. When he aims his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off,
Mulole kuti asowe ngati madzi oyenda pamene iwo akoka uta mulole kuti mivi yawo ikhale yosathwa.
8 as a snail which melts and passes away, as the untimely birth of a woman, that has not seen the sun.
Akhale ngati nkhono imene imasungunuka pamene ikuyenda; ngati mwana wakufa asanabadwe, iwo asaone dzuwa.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he will take them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike.
Miphika yanu isanagwire moto waminga ya mkandankhuku, kaya iyo ndi yobiriwira kapena yowuma, oyipa adzachotsedwa.
10 A righteous man shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,
Olungama adzasangalala poona kubwezera chilango, pamene adzasambitsa mapazi awo mʼmagazi a anthu oyipa.
11 so that men shall say, Truly there is a reward for the righteous man. Truly there is a God who judges in the earth.
Ndipo anthu adzanena kuti, “Zoonadi, olungama amalandirabe mphotho; zoonadi kuli Mulungu amene amaweruza dziko lapansi.”
