Psalms 58
1 Do ye indeed speak righteousness in silence? Do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Ku ddoboozi, “Tozikiriza.” Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ddala mwogera eby’amazima oba musirika busirisi? Abaana b’abantu mubasalira emisango mu bwenkanya?
2 No! In heart ye work wickedness. Ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.
Nedda, mutegeka ebitali bya bwenkanya mu mitima gyammwe; era bye mukola bireeta obwegugungo mu nsi.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb. They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
Abakola ebibi bakyama nga baakazaalibwa, bava mu lubuto nga balina ekibi, era bakula boogera bya bulimba.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent, like the deaf adder that stops her ear,
Balina obusagwa ng’obw’omusota; bali ng’enswera etawulira ezibikira amatu gaayo;
5 which hearkens not to the voice of charmers, charming ever so wisely.
n’etawulira na luyimba lwa mukugu agisendasenda okugikwata.
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah.
Ayi Katonda, menya amannyo gaabwe; owangulemu amannyo g’empologoma zino, Ayi Mukama.
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,
Leka babule ng’amazzi agakulukuta ne gagenda. Bwe banaanuula omutego, leka obusaale bwabwe bwe balasa bufufuggale.
8 as a snail which melts and passes away, as the untimely birth of a woman, that has not seen the sun.
Babe ng’ekkovu erisaanuukira mu lugendo lwalyo. Babe ng’omwana azaaliddwa ng’afudde, ataliraba ku njuba!
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he will take them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike.
Nga n’entamu tennabuguma, alibayerawo n’obusungu obungi nga kibuyaga ow’amaanyi ennyo.
10 A righteous man shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,
Omutuukirivu alisanyuka ng’alabye bamuwalanidde eggwanga, olwo n’ebigere bye ne bisaabaana omusaayi ogw’abakola ebibi.
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.
Awo abantu bonna balyogera nti, “Ddala, abatuukirivu balwanirirwa. Ddala waliwo Katonda alamula mu bwenkanya ku nsi.”
