Psalms 58
1 To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam. Is righteousness indeed silent? Do ye speak it? Do ye judge with equity, ye sons of men?
Pou direktè koral la; Nan melodi la “Pa Detwi”. Yon Sòm David Vrèman, èske nou pale ladwati, O lòt dye yo? Èske nou jije san fòt, O fis a lòm yo?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.
Non, nan kè, nou fòmante inikite. Sou latè, nou peze balans pou separe bay vyolans ak men nou.
3 The wicked go astray from the womb; they err as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
Mechan yo pèvès depi nan vant. (Sila) ki bay manti yo fè move wout depi nesans yo.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder which stoppeth her ear;
Yo gen pwazon tankou pwazon sèpan. Kon vipè soud ki bouche zòrèy li,
5 Which doth not hearken to the voice of enchanters, of one charming ever so wisely.
pou li pa tande vwa a (sila) k ap chame li yo, malgre se yon majisyen abil k ap fè wanga.
6 O God, break their teeth in their mouth; break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah.
O Bondye, kraze dan nan bouch yo! Kase gwo dan a jenn lyon an, O SENYÈ.
7 Let them melt away as waters that flow off; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as blunted:
Kite yo koule disparèt tankou dlo k ap kouri sou tè. Lè flèch li yo parèt, kite yo fèt tankou shaf san tèt.
8 Let them be as a snail that melteth as it passeth away; [like] the untimely birth of a woman, let them not see the sun.
Kite yo tankou kalmason ki fonn, ki vin disparèt pandan l ap mache, tankou avòtman a yon fanm ki p ap janm wè solèy la.
9 Before your pots feel the thorns, green or burning, — they shall be whirled away.
Avan chodyè ou yo kab santi dife pikan yo, Li va bale yo fè yo disparèt nan van toubiyon; vèt ak (sila) kap brile yo, ansanm.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his footsteps in the blood of the wicked:
Moun ladwati a va rejwi lè l wè vanjans lan. Li va lave pye li nan san a mechan yo,
11 And men shall say, Verily there is fruit for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.
pou moun yo di: “Anverite, gen yon rekonpans pou moun ladwati yo. Anverite, genyen yon Bondye k ap jije latè!”
