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?
Dawid “miktam” dwom. So mo asodifo, ampa ara sɛ, moka asɛm a ɛteɛ ana? Mubu atɛntrenee wɔ nnipa mu ana?
2 Even in [your] heart ye work injustice: on the earth do ye weigh out the violence of your hands.
Dabi da! Modwene ntɛnkyew wɔ mo koma mu na mo nsa de akakabensɛm ba asase so.
3 The wicked are estranged [from goodness] from the womb: those who speak lies go astray from their very birth.
Amumɔyɛfo fom kwan fi awo mu; wɔyɛ mmaratofo fi awotwaa mu na wodi atoro.
4 They have poison like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
Wɔn ano bɔre te sɛ ɔwɔ de, ɛte sɛ ɔprammiri a wawɛn nʼaso,
5 Which will not hearken to the voice of conjurers, yea, that of the wisest of all charmers.
a ɔnte ntafowayifo dwom, na ne dwom dɛdɛ no mpo mfa ne ho.
6 O God, break out their teeth in their mouth: the jaw-teeth of the young lions tear thou out, O Lord.
Ao Onyankopɔn, bubu ɛse a egu wɔn anom, Awurade, tutu gyata no sebɔmmɔfo no gu!
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.
Ma wontwa mu nkɔ sɛ sunsuan; sɛ wɔtwe wɔn agyan a, ma wɔn bɛmma no ano nwu.
8 As a snail which melteth, let him pass away; like the untimely birth of a woman which hath not seen the sun.
Ma wɔnyɛ sɛ nwaw horɔdɔhorɔdɔ bi a ɔrenan agu wɔ bere a ɔretene no. Ma wɔnyɛ sɛ ɔba a owu wɔ awoe a onhu owia koraa.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, will he take them away with a whirlwind, both the green and the burning.
Ansa na mo nkuku bɛte nsɔe ano yaw, sɛ ɛyɛ amono anaa awo no, wɔbɛpra amumɔyɛfo akɔ.
10 The righteous will rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he will bathe his steps in the blood of the wicked.
Sɛ wɔtɔ were ma atreneefo a wɔn ani begye, na wɔbɛhohoro wɔn anan ho wɔ amumɔyɛfo mogya mu.
11 So that a man shall say, Verily fruit will come for the righteous: verily there is a God that judgeth on the earth.
Afei nnipa bɛka se, “Ampa ara atreneefo kɔ so nya wɔn akatua; na ampa ara Onyankopɔn bi wɔ hɔ a obu wiase atɛn.” Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo.
