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?
Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔto no sɛnea wɔto “Mma Wɔnnsɛe No” sanku nne so. Dawid “miktam” dwom. So mo asodifo, ampa ara sɛ, moka asɛm a ɛteɛ ana? Mubu atɛntrenee wɔ nnipa mu ana?
2 Yea, rather ye imagine mischiefe in your heart: your hands execute crueltie vpon the earth.
Dabi da! Modwene ntɛnkyew wɔ mo koma mu na mo nsa de akakabensɛm ba asase so.
3 The wicked are strangers from ye wombe: euen from the belly haue they erred, and speake lyes.
Amumɔyɛfo fom kwan fi awo mu; wɔyɛ mmaratofo fi awotwaa mu na wodi atoro.
4 Their poyson is euen like the poyson of a serpent: like ye deafe adder that stoppeth his eare.
Wɔn ano bɔre te sɛ ɔwɔ de, ɛte sɛ ɔprammiri a wawɛn nʼaso,
5 Which heareth not the voyce of the inchanter, though he be most expert in charming.
a ɔnte ntafowayifo dwom, na ne dwom dɛdɛ no mpo mfa ne ho.
6 Breake their teeth, O God, in their mouthes: breake the iawes of the yong lions, O Lord.
Ao Onyankopɔn, bubu ɛse a egu wɔn anom, Awurade, tutu gyata no sebɔmmɔfo no gu!
7 Let them melt like the waters, let them passe away: when hee shooteth his arrowes, let them be as broken.
Ma wontwa mu nkɔ sɛ sunsuan; sɛ wɔtwe wɔn agyan a, ma wɔn bɛmma no ano nwu.
8 Let them consume like a snayle that melteth, and like the vntimely fruite of a woman, that hath not seene the sunne.
Ma wɔnyɛ sɛ nwaw horɔdɔhorɔdɔ bi a ɔrenan agu wɔ bere a ɔretene no. Ma wɔnyɛ sɛ ɔba a owu wɔ awoe a onhu owia koraa.
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.
Ansa na mo nkuku bɛte nsɔe ano yaw, sɛ ɛyɛ amono anaa awo no, wɔbɛpra amumɔyɛfo akɔ.
10 The righteous shall reioyce when he seeeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feete in the blood of the wicked.
Sɛ wɔtɔ were ma atreneefo a wɔn ani begye, na wɔbɛhohoro wɔn anan ho wɔ amumɔyɛfo mogya mu.
11 And men shall say, Verily there is fruite for the righteous: doutlesse there is a God that iudgeth in the earth.
Afei nnipa bɛka se, “Ampa ara atreneefo kɔ so nya wɔn akatua; na ampa ara Onyankopɔn bi wɔ hɔ a obu wiase atɛn.”
