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?
Ali zares govorite pravičnost, oh skupnost? Ali sodite iskreno, oh vi človeški sinovi?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.
Da, v srcu počnete zlobnost, na zemlji presojate nasilje svojih rok.
3 The wicked go astray from the womb; they err as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
Zlobni so odtujeni od maternice. Proč odidejo takoj, ko so rojeni, govoreč laži.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder which stoppeth her ear;
Njihov strup je podoben kačjemu strupu. Podobni so gluhemu gadu, ki si maši svoje uho,
5 Which doth not hearken to the voice of enchanters, of one charming ever so wisely.
ki ne bo prisluhnil glasu krotilcev, ki nikoli ne kroti tako oprezno.
6 O God, break their teeth in their mouth; break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah.
Oh Bog, polomi jim njihove zobe v njihovih ustih. Mladim levom izruj velik zob, oh Gospod.
7 Let them melt away as waters that flow off; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as blunted:
Naj se stopijo kakor vode, ki nenehno tečejo. Ko on napenja svoj lok, da izstreli svoje puščice, naj bodo kakor razrezani na koščke.
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.
Kakor polž, ki se stopi, naj premine vsak izmed njih. Kakor preran porod ženske, da oni ne morejo videti sonca.
9 Before your pots feel the thorns, green or burning, — they shall be whirled away.
Preden lahko vaši lonci začutijo trnje, jih bo odvedel proč kakor z vrtinčastim vetrom, tako žive kakor v svojem besu.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his footsteps in the blood of the wicked:
Pravični se bo veselil, ko vidi maščevanje. Svoja stopala si bo umil v krvi zlobnega.
11 And men shall say, Verily there is fruit for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.
Tako da bo človek rekel: »Resnično je nagrada za pravičnega. Resnično, on je Bog, ki sodi na zemlji.«
