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?
Ali zares govorite pravičnost, oh skupnost? Ali sodite iskreno, oh vi človeški sinovi?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out in the earth the violence of your hands.
Da, v srcu počnete zlobnost, na zemlji presojate nasilje svojih rok.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; the speakers of lies go astray as soon as they are born.
Zlobni so odtujeni od maternice. Proč odidejo takoj, ko so rojeni, govoreč laži.
4 Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; they are like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ear;
Njihov strup je podoben kačjemu strupu. Podobni so gluhemu gadu, ki si maši svoje uho,
5 Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, or of the most cunning binder of spells.
ki ne bo prisluhnil glasu krotilcev, ki nikoli ne kroti tako oprezno.
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth; break out the cheek-teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
Oh Bog, polomi jim njihove zobe v njihovih ustih. Mladim levom izruj velik zob, oh Gospod.
7 Let them melt away as water that runneth apace; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
Naj se stopijo kakor vode, ki nenehno tečejo. Ko on napenja svoj lok, da izstreli svoje puščice, naj bodo kakor razrezani na koščke.
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.
Kakor polž, ki se stopi, naj premine vsak izmed njih. Kakor preran porod ženske, da oni ne morejo videti sonca.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep it away with a whirlwind, the raw and the burning alike.
Preden lahko vaši lonci začutijo trnje, jih bo odvedel proč kakor z vrtinčastim vetrom, tako žive kakor v svojem besu.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
Pravični se bo veselil, ko vidi maščevanje. Svoja stopala si bo umil v krvi zlobnega.
11 And men shall say: 'Verily there is a reward for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.'
Tako da bo človek rekel: »Resnično je nagrada za pravičnega. Resnično, on je Bog, ki sodi na zemlji.«
