< Psalms 58 >
1 Unto the end. May you not destroy. Of David, with the inscription of a title. If, truly and certainly, you speak justice, then judge what is right, you sons of men.
Govorite li zaista istinu, silni, sudite li pravo, sinovi èovjeèiji?
2 For, even in your heart, you work iniquity. Your hands construct injustice on the earth.
Ta, bezakonja sastavljate u srcu, meæete na mjerila zloèinstva ruku svojih na zemlji.
3 Sinners have become foreigners from the womb; they have gone astray from conception. They have been speaking falsehoods.
Od samoga roðenja zastraniše bezakonici, od utrobe materine tumaraju govoreæi laž.
4 Their fury is similar to that of a serpent; it is like a deaf asp, who even blocks her ears,
U njima je jed kao jed zmijinji, kao gluhe aspide, koja zatiskuje uho svoje,
5 who will not listen to the voice of charmers, nor even to the enchanter who chants wisely.
Koja ne èuje glasa bajaèu, vraèaru, vještu u vraèanju.
6 God will crush their teeth within their own mouth. The Lord will break the molars of the lions.
Bože! polomi im zube u ustima njihovijem; razbij èeljusti lavovima, Gospode!
7 They will come to nothing, like water flowing away. He has aimed his bow, while they are being weakened.
Nek se proliju kao voda, i nestane ih. Kad puste strijele, neka budu kao slomljene.
8 Like wax that flows, they will be carried away. Fire has fallen upon them, and they will not see the sun.
Kao puž, koji se rašèinja, neka išèile; kao dijete, koje žena pobaci, neka ne vide sunca.
9 Before your thorns could know the brier, he consumes them alive, as if in rage.
Prije nego kotlovi vaši osjete toplotu od potpaljena trnja, i sirovo i nagorjelo neka raznese vihor.
10 The just one will rejoice when he sees vindication. He will wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
Obradovaæe se pravednik kad vidi osvetu, opraæe noge svoje u krvi bezbožnikovoj.
11 And man will say, “If the just one is fruitful, then, truly, there is a God judging them on earth.”
I reæi æe ljudi: zaista ima ploda pravedniku! zaista je Bog sudija na zemlji!
