< 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.
Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi “kadi vonda”. A buevi, beno bapfumu, mu busonga lueti yolukilanga e? Mu bufuana lueti sambisilanga batu e?
2 For you work iniquities in [your] hearts in the earth: your hands plot unrighteousness.
Nana! Mu mintima mieno, lueti yindula makambulu masonga ayi mioko mieno milembo muangisa makhemi va ntoto.
3 Sinners have gone astray from the womb: they go astray from the belly: they speak lies.
Tona mu mbutukulu, batu bambimbi beti zimbala; tona mu vumu, ntu ngolo badi ayi bantubanga luvunu.
4 Their venom is like [that] of a serpent; as [that] of a deaf asp, and that stops her ears;
Mitsa miawu midi banga mitsa mi nioka, banga kusa kizibikidi matu mandi
5 which will not hear the voice of charmers, nor [heed] the charm prepared skilfully by the wise.
kinkambu wa mbembo yi batu bansakisanga zinioka; mbembo yi ndoki yiyenda tsangu.
6 God has crushed their teeth in their mouth: God has broken the cheek-teeth of the lions.
Kola meno mu miunu miawu, a Nzambi; vuza, a Yave, meno ma zikhosi.
7 They shall utterly pass away like water running through: he shall bend his bow till they shall fail.
Bika balalakana banga maza ma nkumba! Mu thangu bambansula mimbasa miawu, bika madionga mawu maba makambu tsongi
8 They shall be destroyed as melted wax: the fire has fallen and they have not seen the sun.
banga khodi yinsiuta bu yilembo diati; banga muana wusuluka bika kabika mona thangu.
9 Before your thorns feel the white thorn, he shall swallow you up as living, as in his wrath.
Tuamina zinzungu zieno zimona diamu di zitsendi ziba zinlangu voti ziyuma, batu bambimbi bela kombulu.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the ungodly: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
Basonga bela mona khini bu bela mona landi kioki bela kuba vutudila; bela sukula malu mawu mu menga ma batu bambimbi.
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.
Batu bela tuba: “Bukiedika; basonga bantambulanga mfutu mu kadika thangu. Bukiedika vadi Nzambi weti sambisa va ntoto.”
