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?
Dawid “miktam” dwom. Mo sodifoɔ, ampa ara, moka asɛm a ɛtene anaa? Mobu atɛntenenee wɔ nnipa mu anaa?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out in the earth the violence of your hands.
Dabi! Modwene ntɛnkyea wɔ mʼakomam na mo nsa de akakabensɛm ba asase so.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; the speakers of lies go astray as soon as they are born.
Amumuyɛfoɔ fom kwan firi awoɔ mu; wɔyɛ mmaratofoɔ firi awotwaa mu na wɔdi atorɔ.
4 Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; they are like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ear;
Wɔn ano ɛborɔ te sɛ ɔwɔ deɛ. Ɛte sɛ ɔprammire a watɛn nʼaso,
5 Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, or of the most cunning binder of spells.
a ɔnte ntafowayifoɔ dwom, na ne dwom dɛɛdɛ no mpo mfa ne ho.
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth; break out the cheek-teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
Ao Onyankopɔn, bubu ɛse a ɛgu wɔn anom, Ao Awurade, tutu agyata no sebɔmmɔfoɔ no gu!
7 Let them melt away as water that runneth apace; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
Ma wɔntwa mu nkɔ sɛ nsunsuan; sɛ wɔtwe wɔn agyan a, ma wɔn bɛmma no ano nwu.
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.
Ma wɔnyɛ sɛ nwa pɛkyɛpɛkyɛ bi a ɔretene kɔ. Ma wɔnyɛ sɛ ɔba a ɔwu wɔ awoeɛ na ɔnhunu owia.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep it away with a whirlwind, the raw and the burning alike.
Ansa na mo nkukuo bɛte nkasɛɛ ano yea, sɛ ɛyɛ mono anaa deɛ awo no, wɔbɛpra amumuyɛfoɔ akɔ.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
Sɛ wɔtua amumuyɛfoɔ ka a, ateneneefoɔ ani bɛgye, na wɔbɛhohoro wɔn nan ho wɔ amumuyɛfoɔ mogya mu.
11 And men shall say: 'Verily there is a reward for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.'
Afei nnipa bɛka sɛ, “Ampa ara, ateneneefoɔ kɔ so nya wɔn akatua; na ampa ara Onyankopɔn bi wɔ hɔ a ɔbu ewiase atɛn.” Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ.
