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?
Ali zares govorite pravičnost, oh skupnost? Ali sodite iskreno, oh vi človeški sinovi?
2 The purposes of your hearts are evil; your hands are full of cruel doings on the earth.
Da, v srcu počnete zlobnost, na zemlji presojate nasilje svojih rok.
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.
Zlobni so odtujeni od maternice. Proč odidejo takoj, ko so rojeni, govoreč laži.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a snake; they are like the adder, whose ears are shut;
Njihov strup je podoben kačjemu strupu. Podobni so gluhemu gadu, ki si maši svoje uho,
5 Who will not be moved by the voice of the wonder-worker, however great are his powers.
ki ne bo prisluhnil glasu krotilcev, ki nikoli ne kroti tako oprezno.
6 O God, let their teeth be broken in their mouths; let the great teeth of the young lions be pulled out, O Lord.
Oh Bog, polomi jim njihove zobe v njihovih ustih. Mladim levom izruj velik zob, oh Gospod.
7 Let them be turned to liquid like the ever-flowing waters; let them be cut off like the grass by the way.
Naj se stopijo kakor vode, ki nenehno tečejo. Ko on napenja svoj lok, da izstreli svoje puščice, naj bodo kakor razrezani na koščke.
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.
Kakor polž, ki se stopi, naj premine vsak izmed njih. Kakor preran porod ženske, da oni ne morejo videti sonca.
9 Before they are conscious of it, let them be cut down like thorns; let a strong wind take them away like waste growth.
Preden lahko vaši lonci začutijo trnje, jih bo odvedel proč kakor z vrtinčastim vetrom, tako žive kakor v svojem besu.
10 The upright man will be glad when he sees their punishment; his feet will be washed in the blood of the evil-doer.
Pravični se bo veselil, ko vidi maščevanje. Svoja stopala si bo umil v krvi zlobnega.
11 So that men will say, Truly there is a reward for righteousness; truly there is a God who is judge on the earth.
Tako da bo človek rekel: »Resnično je nagrada za pravičnega. Resnično, on je Bog, ki sodi na zemlji.«
