< 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.
Abụ Ọma nke dịrị onyeisi abụ. Nke olu abụ “E bibikwala.” Abụ Devid. Abụ miktam. Unu ndị na-achị achị, O nweela oge unu na-ekwu ihe ziri ezi? O nweela oge unu na-ekpe ikpe ziri ezi nʼetiti mmadụ?
2 For you work iniquities in [your] hearts in the earth: your hands plot unrighteousness.
Mba, nʼime obi unu, unu na-echepụta mmegbu, aka unu na-emepụta ihe ike nʼelu ụwa.
3 Sinners have gone astray from the womb: they go astray from the belly: they speak lies.
Ọ bụladị site nʼọmụmụ, ndị ajọ omume na-akpafu; site nʼime afọ, ha na-akpafu akpafu na-ekwusa okwu ụgha.
4 Their venom is like [that] of a serpent; as [that] of a deaf asp, and that stops her ears;
Ha na-agbọpụta nsi nʼọnụ ha dịka agwọ, na-emechi ntị ha dịka ajụala ntị chiri,
5 which will not hear the voice of charmers, nor [heed] the charm prepared skilfully by the wise.
nke na-adịghị anụ olu onye mgbaasị na-akpọpụta ya, nʼagbanyeghị otu ǹka onye ahụ si dị.
6 God has crushed their teeth in their mouth: God has broken the cheek-teeth of the lions.
O Chineke, tijie eze niile dị ha nʼọnụ; o Onyenwe anyị, dọpụta eze ọdụm ndị a!
7 They shall utterly pass away like water running through: he shall bend his bow till they shall fail.
Mee ka ha sọfuo dịka mmiri na-asọ asọ; mgbe ha na-eseti ụta ha, mee ka ọnụ àkụ ha gbajie.
8 They shall be destroyed as melted wax: the fire has fallen and they have not seen the sun.
Dịka ejula nke na-agbaze mgbe ọ na-aga nʼụzọ ya; dịka nwa nwụrụ nʼafọ nne ya, ka ha ghara ịhụ anyanwụ.
9 Before your thorns feel the white thorn, he shall swallow you up as living, as in his wrath.
Tupu ite unu amata okpomọkụ nke osisi ogwu, ma ha dị ndụ, ma ha kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ, a ga-azachapụ ndị ajọ omume.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the ungodly: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
Ndị ezi omume ga-enwe obi ụtọ mgbe a bọọrọ ha ọbọ, mgbe ha ga-asacha ụkwụ ha nʼime ọbara ndị ajọ omume.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị mmadụ ga-ekwu sị, “Nʼezie, a na-akwụghachi ndị ezi omume ụgwọ; nʼezie, e nwere Chineke onye na-ekpe ụwa ikpe.”
