Psalms 58
1 To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalme of David on Michtam. Is it true? O Congregation, speake ye iustly? O sonnes of men, iudge ye vprightly?
Isibili likhuluma okulungileyo yini, babusi? Lehlulela ngokuqonda yini, madodana abantu?
2 Yea, rather ye imagine mischiefe in your heart: your hands execute crueltie vpon the earth.
Yebo, enhliziyweni lenza okubi, lilinganisa udlakela lwezandla zenu emhlabeni.
3 The wicked are strangers from ye wombe: euen from the belly haue they erred, and speake lyes.
Ababi baba ngabemzini kusukela esiswini, bayaduha kusukela esizalweni, beqamba amanga.
4 Their poyson is euen like the poyson of a serpent: like ye deafe adder that stoppeth his eare.
Ubuhlungu babo bunjengobuhlungu benyoka, banjengebululu elingezwayo, elivimba indlebe yalo,
5 Which heareth not the voyce of the inchanter, though he be most expert in charming.
ukuze lingezwa ilizwi labalumbi abalumba amalumbo ngokuhlakanipha.
6 Breake their teeth, O God, in their mouthes: breake the iawes of the yong lions, O Lord.
Nkulunkulu, yephula amazinyo abo emlonyeni wabo, uphohloze amazinyo emihlathi yamabhongo ezilwane, Nkosi.
7 Let them melt like the waters, let them passe away: when hee shooteth his arrowes, let them be as broken.
Kabancibilike njengamanzi agelezayo; nxa egobisa idandili lakhe ukutshoka umtshoko wakhe, babe njengabaqunywe iziqa.
8 Let them consume like a snayle that melteth, and like the vntimely fruite of a woman, that hath not seene the sunne.
Kahambe njengomnenke oncibilikayo; njengomphunzo owesifazana, kabangaliboni ilanga.
9 As raw flesh before your pots feele the fire of thornes: so let him cary them away as with a whirlewinde in his wrath.
Imbiza zenu zingakaluzwa ukhuni lwameva, uzabaphephula esiphephweni njengabaphilayo njengentukuthelweni.
10 The righteous shall reioyce when he seeeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feete in the blood of the wicked.
Olungileyo uzathokoza lapho ebona impindiselo, uzageza inyawo zakhe egazini lomubi.
11 And men shall say, Verily there is fruite for the righteous: doutlesse there is a God that iudgeth in the earth.
Ukuze umuntu athi: Impela ukhona umvuzo wolungileyo; impela ukhona uNkulunkulu owahlulela emhlabeni.
