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?
Načelniku godbe: "Ne pogubi"; Davidova pesem odlična. Ali zares, o krdelo, govorite pravico? po pravici sodite, sinovi človeški?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.
Ne, celo iz srca počenjate krivice; v tej deželi tehtate rok svojih silovitost.
3 The wicked go astray from the womb; they err as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
V stran zavijajo krivični od rojstva; tavajo od materinega telesa laž govoreč.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder which stoppeth her ear;
Strup imajo podoben kačjemu strupu; kakor gada gluhega, ki si maši uho svoje.
5 Which doth not hearken to the voice of enchanters, of one charming ever so wisely.
Kateri ne posluša glasú mrmrajočih, njega, ki zna zagovarjati jako.
6 O God, break their teeth in their mouth; break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah.
O Bog, zdróbi jim zobe v njih ustih; mladih levov kočnike poderi, Gospod!
7 Let them melt away as waters that flow off; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as blunted:
Stopé se naj kakor voda, odidejo naj neprestano; njemu, ki napenja pušice svoje, izpremené se naj kakor v klasje pušice.
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 topi, bode naj vsak, kakor žene splav, kakor ki niso videli solnca.
9 Before your pots feel the thorns, green or burning, — they shall be whirled away.
Ko se ne bode še čutilo trnje vaše, trnje ščipkovo, tako zeleno kakor suho podrl bode vse.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his footsteps in the blood of the wicked:
Radoval se bode pravični, ko bode videl maščevanje; noge svoje bode umival v krivičnega krvi.
11 And men shall say, Verily there is fruit for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.
In človek poreče: Vendar ima sad pravični, vendar je sodnik na zemlji!
