Psalms 58
1 Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title. If in very deed you speak justice: judge right things, ye sons of men.
Načelniku godbe: "Ne pogubi"; Davidova pesem odlična. Ali zares, o krdelo, govorite pravico? po pravici sodite, sinovi človeški?
2 For in your heart you work iniquity: your hands forge injustice in the earth.
Ne, celo iz srca počenjate krivice; v tej deželi tehtate rok svojih silovitost.
3 The wicked are alienated from the womb; they have gone astray from the womb: they have spoken false things.
V stran zavijajo krivični od rojstva; tavajo od materinega telesa laž govoreč.
4 Their madness is according to the likeness of a serpent: like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ears:
Strup imajo podoben kačjemu strupu; kakor gada gluhega, ki si maši uho svoje.
5 Which will not hear the voice of the charmers; nor of the wizard that charmeth wisely.
Kateri ne posluša glasú mrmrajočih, njega, ki zna zagovarjati jako.
6 God shall break in pieces their teeth in their mouth: the Lord shall break the grinders of the lions.
O Bog, zdróbi jim zobe v njih ustih; mladih levov kočnike poderi, Gospod!
7 They shall come to nothing, like water running down; he hath bent his bow till they be weakened.
Stopé se naj kakor voda, odidejo naj neprestano; njemu, ki napenja pušice svoje, izpremené se naj kakor v klasje pušice.
8 Like wax that melteth they shall be taken away: fire hath fallen on them, and they shall not see the sun.
Kakor polž, ki se topi, bode naj vsak, kakor žene splav, kakor ki niso videli solnca.
9 Before your thorns could know the brier; he swalloweth them up, as alive, in his wrath.
Ko se ne bode še čutilo trnje vaše, trnje ščipkovo, tako zeleno kakor suho podrl bode vse.
10 The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
Radoval se bode pravični, ko bode videl maščevanje; noge svoje bode umival v krivičnega krvi.
11 And man shall say: If indeed there be fruit to the just: there is indeed a God that judgeth them on the earth.
In človek poreče: Vendar ima sad pravični, vendar je sodnik na zemlji!
