Psalms 58

1 DO ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?

Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ne pogubi!” Davidov. Miktam. Zar doista krojite pravdu, vi moćni, zar sudite pravo, sinovi ljudski?

2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.

Ne, već bezakonje smišljeno činite, po zemlji vam ruke dijele nepravde.

3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

Na krivu su putu bezbošci od krila majčina, na krivu su putu lašci od utrobe.

4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;

U njima je otrov kao u zmije, kao u ljutice što uši začepljuje

5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.

da glas čarobnjakov ne čuje ni glas bajača vješta bajanju.

6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Lord.

O Bože, polomi im zube u ustima; razbij, o Jahve, čeljusti lavićima!

7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.

K'o vode što hitro otječu neka se razliju, k'o zgažena trava neka se osuše.

8 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

Nek' budu k'o puž koji se pužuć' rastoči, k'o pometnut plot nek' sunca ne vide.

9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.

Prije nego vam kotlovi trnje osjete, dok je zeleno, neka ga vihor odnese.

10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

Radostan će biti pravednik kad ugleda odmazdu, noge će prati u krvi zlotvora.

11 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.

I reći će ljudi: “Pravednik plod svoj ima! Još ima Boga da sudi na zemlji!”
