Psalms 58
1 For the music director. According to “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm (miktam) of David. You leaders, do you really say what is right? Do you judge people fairly?
Ali zares govorite pravičnost, oh skupnost? Ali sodite iskreno, oh vi človeški sinovi?
2 No, for in your minds you plan evil. You cause violence everywhere!
Da, v srcu počnete zlobnost, na zemlji presojate nasilje svojih rok.
3 The wicked are sinners from birth; from the moment they're born they tell lies.
Zlobni so odtujeni od maternice. Proč odidejo takoj, ko so rojeni, govoreč laži.
4 They have venom like that of a poisonous snake, and just like a cobra they stop listening,
Njihov strup je podoben kačjemu strupu. Podobni so gluhemu gadu, ki si maši svoje uho,
5 refusing to hear the voice of the snake charmers or the spellbinders.
ki ne bo prisluhnil glasu krotilcev, ki nikoli ne kroti tako oprezno.
6 God, break their teeth, and smash the jaws of these lions, Lord.
Oh Bog, polomi jim njihove zobe v njihovih ustih. Mladim levom izruj velik zob, oh Gospod.
7 May they vanish like water that flows away; when they shoot their arrows may they miss their mark.
Naj se stopijo kakor vode, ki nenehno tečejo. Ko on napenja svoj lok, da izstreli svoje puščice, naj bodo kakor razrezani na koščke.
8 May they be like the slime of snails that dissolves away, like a stillborn child that never saw the light of day.
Kakor polž, ki se stopi, naj premine vsak izmed njih. Kakor preran porod ženske, da oni ne morejo videti sonca.
9 Before the cooking pot is hot from burning thorns, whether fresh or dry, God will blow them away.
Preden lahko vaši lonci začutijo trnje, jih bo odvedel proč kakor z vrtinčastim vetrom, tako žive kakor v svojem besu.
10 Those who live right will be happy when they see there is punishment; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.
Pravični se bo veselil, ko vidi maščevanje. Svoja stopala si bo umil v krvi zlobnega.
11 They will say, “There is definitely a reward for those who live right; there is certainly a God who judges fairly on earth.”
Tako da bo človek rekel: »Resnično je nagrada za pravičnega. Resnično, on je Bog, ki sodi na zemlji.«
