Psalms 58
1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David. Do you indeed speak justly, O rulers? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?
Načelniku godbe: "Ne pogubi"; Davidova pesem odlična. Ali zares, o krdelo, govorite pravico? po pravici sodite, sinovi človeški?
2 No, in your hearts you devise injustice; with your hands you mete out violence on the earth.
Ne, celo iz srca počenjate krivice; v tej deželi tehtate rok svojih silovitost.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; the liars go astray from birth.
V stran zavijajo krivični od rojstva; tavajo od materinega telesa laž govoreč.
4 Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like a cobra that shuts its ears,
Strup imajo podoben kačjemu strupu; kakor gada gluhega, ki si maši uho svoje.
5 refusing to hear the tune of the charmer who skillfully weaves his spell.
Kateri ne posluša glasú mrmrajočih, njega, ki zna zagovarjati jako.
6 O God, shatter their teeth in their mouths; O LORD, tear out the fangs of the lions.
O Bog, zdróbi jim zobe v njih ustih; mladih levov kočnike poderi, Gospod!
7 May they vanish like water that runs off; when they draw the bow, may their arrows be blunted.
Stopé se naj kakor voda, odidejo naj neprestano; njemu, ki napenja pušice svoje, izpremené se naj kakor v klasje pušice.
8 Like a slug that dissolves in its slime, like a woman’s stillborn child, may they never see the sun.
Kakor polž, ki se topi, bode naj vsak, kakor žene splav, kakor ki niso videli solnca.
9 Before your pots can feel the burning thorns— whether green or dry— He will sweep them away.
Ko se ne bode še čutilo trnje vaše, trnje ščipkovo, tako zeleno kakor suho podrl bode vse.
10 The righteous will rejoice when they see they are avenged; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.
Radoval se bode pravični, ko bode videl maščevanje; noge svoje bode umival v krivičnega krvi.
11 Then men will say, “There is surely a reward for the righteous! There is surely a God who judges the earth!”
In človek poreče: Vendar ima sad pravični, vendar je sodnik na zemlji!
