Psalms 58
1 Do you indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do you judge uprightly, O you sons of men?
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki ndenge moko na « Kobebisa te. » Nzembo ya Davidi. Ezali solo ete bolobaka te tango bokataka makambo? Boni, bana na moto, bosambisaka na bosembo?
2 Yes, in heart you work wickedness; you weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
Te, ezala kati na mitema na bino, bosalaka mabongisi ezanga bosembo; botandaka kanza ya maboko na bino kati na mokili.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
Bato mabe babebaka wuta na mbotama na bango, bapengwaka mpe balobaka lokuta wuta na mabumu ya bamama na bango.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stops her ear;
Bazalaka na ngenge lokola ngenge ya nyoka, lokola ngenge ya etupa oyo eyokaka te, oyo ekangaka litoyi na yango,
5 Which will not listen to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
oyo eyokaka te ata mingongo ya bato na soloka mpe ya moto ya maji oyo aleki na mayele.
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
Nzambe, buka minu na bango kati na minoko na bango; Yawe, buka bambanga ya bana ya bankosi.
7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bends his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
Tika ete balimwa lokola mayi oyo ezali kotiola; Tika ete bambanzi na bango ebukana tango babetaka batolotolo.
8 As a snail which melts, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
Tika ete balimwa lokola soyi ya mbembe, lokola mwana oyo akomona moyi te mpo ete abimi na zemi oyo esopani.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
Liboso ete banzungu na bino ekutana na moto ya basende, ezala ya mayi to ya kokawuka, bato mabe akolimwa.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
Moto ya sembo akosepela, pamba te akomona Nzambe kozongisela bato mabe, mabe na mabe, mpe akotambola kati na makila na bango.
11 So that a man shall say, Truly there is a reward for the righteous: truly he is a God that judges in the earth.
Mpe bato bakoloba: « Solo, ezali na lifuti mpo na moto ya sembo; solo, ezali na Nzambe oyo asambisaka mokili. »
