Psalms 58
1 For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam. Do ye indeed speak as a righteous company? Do ye judge with equity the sons of men?
Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ne pogubi!” Davidov. Miktam. Zar doista krojite pravdu, vi moćni, zar sudite pravo, sinovi ljudski?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out in the earth the violence of your hands.
Ne, već bezakonje smišljeno činite, po zemlji vam ruke dijele nepravde.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; the speakers of lies go astray as soon as they are born.
Na krivu su putu bezbošci od krila majčina, na krivu su putu lašci od utrobe.
4 Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; they are like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ear;
U njima je otrov kao u zmije, kao u ljutice što uši začepljuje
5 Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, or of the most cunning binder of spells.
da glas čarobnjakov ne čuje ni glas bajača vješta bajanju.
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth; break out the cheek-teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
O Bože, polomi im zube u ustima; razbij, o Jahve, čeljusti lavićima!
7 Let them melt away as water that runneth apace; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
K'o vode što hitro otječu neka se razliju, k'o zgažena trava neka se osuše.
8 Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away; like the untimely births of a woman, that have not seen the sun.
Nek' budu k'o puž koji se pužuć' rastoči, k'o pometnut plot nek' sunca ne vide.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep it away with a whirlwind, the raw and the burning alike.
Prije nego vam kotlovi trnje osjete, dok je zeleno, neka ga vihor odnese.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
Radostan će biti pravednik kad ugleda odmazdu, noge će prati u krvi zlotvora.
11 And men shall say: 'Verily there is a reward for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.'
I reći će ljudi: “Pravednik plod svoj ima! Još ima Boga da sudi na zemlji!”
