Psalms 58
1 Do you indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do you judge uprightly, O you sons of men?
Ali zares govorite pravičnost, oh skupnost? Ali sodite iskreno, oh vi človeški sinovi?
2 Yes, in heart you work wickedness; you weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
Da, v srcu počnete zlobnost, na zemlji presojate nasilje svojih rok.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
Zlobni so odtujeni od maternice. Proč odidejo takoj, ko so rojeni, govoreč laži.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stops her ear;
Njihov strup je podoben kačjemu strupu. Podobni so gluhemu gadu, ki si maši svoje uho,
5 Which will not listen to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
ki ne bo prisluhnil glasu krotilcev, ki nikoli ne kroti tako oprezno.
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great 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 waters which run continually: when he bends his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
Naj se stopijo kakor vode, ki nenehno tečejo. Ko on napenja svoj lok, da izstreli svoje puščice, naj bodo kakor razrezani na koščke.
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.
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 shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
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 sees 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 So that a man shall say, Truly there is a reward for the righteous: truly he is a God that judges in the earth.
Tako da bo človek rekel: »Resnično je nagrada za pravičnega. Resnično, on je Bog, ki sodi na zemlji.«
