Psalms 58
1 “To the chief musician Al-tashcheth, by David, a Michtham.” Do you indeed, who are dumb, speak righteously? do ye judge in uprightness, O ye sons of men?
Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ne pogubi!” Davidov. Miktam. Zar doista krojite pravdu, vi moćni, zar sudite pravo, sinovi ljudski?
2 Even in [your] heart ye work injustice: on the earth do ye weigh out the violence of your hands.
Ne, već bezakonje smišljeno činite, po zemlji vam ruke dijele nepravde.
3 The wicked are estranged [from goodness] from the womb: those who speak lies go astray from their very birth.
Na krivu su putu bezbošci od krila majčina, na krivu su putu lašci od utrobe.
4 They have poison 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 conjurers, yea, that of the wisest of all charmers.
da glas čarobnjakov ne čuje ni glas bajača vješta bajanju.
6 O God, break out their teeth in their mouth: the jaw-teeth of the young lions tear thou out, O Lord.
O Bože, polomi im zube u ustima; razbij, o Jahve, čeljusti lavićima!
7 Let them melt away as water [which] runneth off: when each one bendeth [his bow to shoot] his arrows, let them be as if 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 him pass away; like the untimely birth of a woman which hath not seen 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, will he take them away with a whirlwind, both the green and the burning.
Prije nego vam kotlovi trnje osjete, dok je zeleno, neka ga vihor odnese.
10 The righteous will rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he will bathe his steps 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 fruit will come for the righteous: verily there is a God that judgeth on the earth.
I reći će ljudi: “Pravednik plod svoj ima! Još ima Boga da sudi na zemlji!”
