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?
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki ndenge moko na « Kobebisa te. » Nzembo ya Davidi. Ezali solo ete bolobaka te tango bokataka makambo? Boni, bana na moto, bosambisaka na bosembo?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.
Te, ezala kati na mitema na bino, bosalaka mabongisi ezanga bosembo; botandaka kanza ya maboko na bino kati na mokili.
3 The wicked go astray from the womb; they err as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
Bato mabe babebaka wuta na mbotama na bango, bapengwaka mpe balobaka lokuta wuta na mabumu ya bamama na bango.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder which stoppeth her ear;
Bazalaka na ngenge lokola ngenge ya nyoka, lokola ngenge ya etupa oyo eyokaka te, oyo ekangaka litoyi na yango,
5 Which doth not hearken to the voice of enchanters, of one charming ever so wisely.
oyo eyokaka te ata mingongo ya bato na soloka mpe ya moto ya maji oyo aleki na mayele.
6 O God, break their teeth in their mouth; break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah.
Nzambe, buka minu na bango kati na minoko na bango; Yawe, buka bambanga ya bana ya bankosi.
7 Let them melt away as waters that flow off; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as blunted:
Tika ete balimwa lokola mayi oyo ezali kotiola; Tika ete bambanzi na bango ebukana tango babetaka batolotolo.
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.
Tika ete balimwa lokola soyi ya mbembe, lokola mwana oyo akomona moyi te mpo ete abimi na zemi oyo esopani.
9 Before your pots feel the thorns, green or burning, — they shall be whirled away.
Liboso ete banzungu na bino ekutana na moto ya basende, ezala ya mayi to ya kokawuka, bato mabe akolimwa.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his footsteps in the blood of the wicked:
Moto ya sembo akosepela, pamba te akomona Nzambe kozongisela bato mabe, mabe na mabe, mpe akotambola kati na makila na bango.
11 And men shall say, Verily there is fruit for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.
Mpe bato bakoloba: « Solo, ezali na lifuti mpo na moto ya sembo; solo, ezali na Nzambe oyo asambisaka mokili. »
