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?
Načelniku godbe: "Ne pogubi"; Davidova pesem odlična. Ali zares, o krdelo, govorite pravico? po pravici sodite, sinovi človeški?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out in the earth the violence of your hands.
Ne, celo iz srca počenjate krivice; v tej deželi tehtate rok svojih silovitost.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; the speakers of lies go astray as soon as they are born.
V stran zavijajo krivični od rojstva; tavajo od materinega telesa laž govoreč.
4 Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; they are like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ear;
Strup imajo podoben kačjemu strupu; kakor gada gluhega, ki si maši uho svoje.
5 Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, or of the most cunning binder of spells.
Kateri ne posluša glasú mrmrajočih, njega, ki zna zagovarjati jako.
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth; break out the cheek-teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
O Bog, zdróbi jim zobe v njih ustih; mladih levov kočnike poderi, 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.
Stopé se naj kakor voda, odidejo naj neprestano; njemu, ki napenja pušice svoje, izpremené se naj kakor v klasje pušice.
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 topi, bode naj vsak, kakor žene splav, kakor ki niso videli solnca.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep it away with a whirlwind, the raw and the burning alike.
Ko se ne bode še čutilo trnje vaše, trnje ščipkovo, tako zeleno kakor suho podrl bode vse.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
Radoval se bode pravični, ko bode videl maščevanje; noge svoje bode umival v krivičnega krvi.
11 And men shall say: 'Verily there is a reward for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.'
In človek poreče: Vendar ima sad pravični, vendar je sodnik na zemlji!
