Psalms 58
1 To the chief music-maker; put to Al-tashheth. Michtam. Of David. Is there righteousness in your mouths, O you gods? are you upright judges, O you sons of men?
Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ne pogubi!” Davidov. Miktam. Zar doista krojite pravdu, vi moćni, zar sudite pravo, sinovi ljudski?
2 The purposes of your hearts are evil; your hands are full of cruel doings on the earth.
Ne, već bezakonje smišljeno činite, po zemlji vam ruke dijele nepravde.
3 The evil-doers are strange from the first; from the hour of their birth they go out of the true way, saying false words.
Na krivu su putu bezbošci od krila majčina, na krivu su putu lašci od utrobe.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a snake; they are like the adder, whose ears are shut;
U njima je otrov kao u zmije, kao u ljutice što uši začepljuje
5 Who will not be moved by the voice of the wonder-worker, however great are his powers.
da glas čarobnjakov ne čuje ni glas bajača vješta bajanju.
6 O God, let their teeth be broken in their mouths; let the great teeth of the young lions be pulled out, O Lord.
O Bože, polomi im zube u ustima; razbij, o Jahve, čeljusti lavićima!
7 Let them be turned to liquid like the ever-flowing waters; let them be cut off like the grass by the way.
K'o vode što hitro otječu neka se razliju, k'o zgažena trava neka se osuše.
8 Let them be like an after-birth which is turned to water and comes to an end; like the fruit of a woman who gives birth before her time, let them not see the sun.
Nek' budu k'o puž koji se pužuć' rastoči, k'o pometnut plot nek' sunca ne vide.
9 Before they are conscious of it, let them be cut down like thorns; let a strong wind take them away like waste growth.
Prije nego vam kotlovi trnje osjete, dok je zeleno, neka ga vihor odnese.
10 The upright man will be glad when he sees their punishment; his feet will be washed in the blood of the evil-doer.
Radostan će biti pravednik kad ugleda odmazdu, noge će prati u krvi zlotvora.
11 So that men will say, Truly there is a reward for righteousness; truly there is a God who is judge on the earth.
I reći će ljudi: “Pravednik plod svoj ima! Još ima Boga da sudi na zemlji!”
