Psalms 58
1 For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial. If you do indeed speak righteousness, [then] do you judge rightly, you sons of men.
| لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ – عَلَى لَا تُهْلِكْ. مُذَهَّبَةٌ لِدَاوُدَ أَحَقّاً تَنْطِقُونَ بِالْحَقِّ أَيُّهَا الْحُكَّامُ، وَتَقْضُونَ بِالاسْتِقَامَةِ يَا بَنِي الْبَشَرِ؟ | ١ |
2 For you work iniquities in [your] hearts in the earth: your hands plot unrighteousness.
| لا! إِنَّمَا تُضْمِرُونَ الْبَاطِلَ فِي الْقَلْبِ وَتَرْتَكِبُ أَيْدِيكُمُ الظُّلْمَ فِي الأَرْضِ. | ٢ |
3 Sinners have gone astray from the womb: they go astray from the belly: they speak lies.
| زَاغَ الأَشْرَارُ وَهُمْ مَا بَرِحُوا فِي بُطُونِ أُمَّهَاتِهِمْ، وَضَلُّوا نَاطِقِينَ بِالْكَذِبِ مُنْذُ أَنْ وُلِدُوا. | ٣ |
4 Their venom is like [that] of a serpent; as [that] of a deaf asp, and that stops her ears;
| فِيهِمْ سُمٌّ كَسُمِّ الْحَيَّاتِ، يَسُدُّونَ آذَانَهُمْ كَالأَفَاعِي الصَّمَّاءِ، | ٤ |
5 which will not hear the voice of charmers, nor [heed] the charm prepared skilfully by the wise.
| الَّتِي لَا تَسْمَعُ لِصَوْتِ الْحُوَاةِ، وَلَا لِصَوْتِ السَّاحِرِ الْمَاهِرِ. | ٥ |
6 God has crushed their teeth in their mouth: God has broken the cheek-teeth of the lions.
| هَشِّمْ أَسْنَانَهُمْ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ يَا اللهُ. حَطِّمْ أَنْيَابَ الأَشْبَالِ. | ٦ |
7 They shall utterly pass away like water running through: he shall bend his bow till they shall fail.
| لِيَتَلاشَوْا كَالْمَاءِ الْمُرَاقِ، وَلْتَتَكَسَّرْ رُؤُوسُ سِهَامِهِمْ عِنْدَمَا يُصَوِّبُونَهَا. | ٧ |
8 They shall be destroyed as melted wax: the fire has fallen and they have not seen the sun.
| لِيَتَلاشَوْا مِثْلَ الْقَوَاقِعِ فِي أَثْنَاءِ زَحْفِهَا، وَكَالْجَنِينِ الْمُجْهَضِ لَا يُعَايِنُونَ الشَّمْسَ. | ٨ |
9 Before your thorns feel the white thorn, he shall swallow you up as living, as in his wrath.
| وَقَبْلَ أَنْ تُحِسَّ قُدُورُكُمْ بِنَارِ الأَشْوَاكِ تَحْتَهَا، يَكْتَسِحُ اللهُ كَبِيرَهُمْ وَصَغِيرَهُمْ بِعَاصِفَةِ غَضَبِهِ، | ٩ |
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the ungodly: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
| يَفْرَحُ الأَبْرَارُ حِينَ يَرَوْنَ عِقَابَ الأَشْرَارِ، وَيَغْسِلُونَ أَقْدَامَهُمْ بِدَمِهِمْ. | ١٠ |
11 And a man shall say, Verily then there is a reward for the righteous: verily there is a God that judges them in the earth.
| فَيَقُولُ النَّاسُ: «حَقّاً إِنَّ للِصِّدِّيقِ مُكَافَأَةً، وَإِنَّ فِي الأَرْضِ إِلَهاً يَقْضِي». | ١١ |
