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.
Načelniku godbe: "Ne pogubi"; Davidova pesem odlična. Ali zares, o krdelo, govorite pravico? po pravici sodite, sinovi človeški?
2 For you work iniquities in [your] hearts in the earth: your hands plot unrighteousness.
Ne, celo iz srca počenjate krivice; v tej deželi tehtate rok svojih silovitost.
3 Sinners have gone astray from the womb: they go astray from the belly: they speak lies.
V stran zavijajo krivični od rojstva; tavajo od materinega telesa laž govoreč.
4 Their venom is like [that] of a serpent; as [that] of a deaf asp, and that stops her ears;
Strup imajo podoben kačjemu strupu; kakor gada gluhega, ki si maši uho svoje.
5 which will not hear the voice of charmers, nor [heed] the charm prepared skilfully by the wise.
Kateri ne posluša glasú mrmrajočih, njega, ki zna zagovarjati jako.
6 God has crushed their teeth in their mouth: God has broken the cheek-teeth of the lions.
O Bog, zdróbi jim zobe v njih ustih; mladih levov kočnike poderi, Gospod!
7 They shall utterly pass away like water running through: he shall bend his bow till they shall fail.
Stopé se naj kakor voda, odidejo naj neprestano; njemu, ki napenja pušice svoje, izpremené se naj kakor v klasje pušice.
8 They shall be destroyed as melted wax: the fire has fallen and they have not seen the sun.
Kakor polž, ki se topi, bode naj vsak, kakor žene splav, kakor ki niso videli solnca.
9 Before your thorns feel the white thorn, he shall swallow you up as living, as in his wrath.
Ko se ne bode še čutilo trnje vaše, trnje ščipkovo, tako zeleno kakor suho podrl bode vse.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the ungodly: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
Radoval se bode pravični, ko bode videl maščevanje; noge svoje bode umival v krivičnega krvi.
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.
In človek poreče: Vendar ima sad pravični, vendar je sodnik na zemlji!
