Psalms 58

1 TO THE OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Is it true, O silent one, that you speak righteously? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?

Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Al-tasheth. Miktama nataon’ i Davida. Moa ny tsi-fitenenana va ataonareo ho filazana ny marina? Mitsara mahitsy va ianareo, ry zanak’ olombelona?

2 Even in heart you work iniquities, In the land you ponder the violence of your hands.

Tsy izany, fa ny fonareo no amoronanareo ny ratsy; mandanja ny fandozan’ ny tananareo etỳ an-tany ianareo.

3 The wicked have been estranged from the womb, They have erred from the belly, speaking lies.

Mivily hatrany am-bohoka ny ratsy fanahy; mania hatrany an-kibo izy ka miteny lainga.

4 Their poison [is] as poison of a serpent, As a deaf cobra shutting its ear,

Misy poizina tahaka ny an’ ny menarana aminy; eny, tahaka ny vipera marenina izay manentsin-tadiny izy,

5 Which does not listen to the voice of whisperers, A charmer of most skillful charms.

Ka tsy mihaino ny feon’ ny mpanao ody, na dia izay mpahay ody indrindra aza.

6 O God, break their teeth in their mouth, Break down the jaw-teeth of young lions, O YHWH.

Andriamanitra ô, torotoroy ny nifiny eo am-bavany; omboty ny vazan’ ny liona tanora, Jehovah ô.

7 They are melted as waters, They go up and down for themselves, His arrow proceeds as they cut themselves off.

Aoka ho ritra tahaka ny ranotrambo izy; raha atraniny ny zana-tsipìkany, dia aoka ho tapa-doha ireny;

8 He goes on as a snail that melts, [As] an untimely birth of a woman, They have not seen the sun.

Aoka ho tahaka ny lelosy izay mihalevona eny am-pandehanana izy; Aoka ho tahaka ny zaza-vakimanta izay tsy mahita masoandro izy.

9 Before your pots discern the bramble, As living, He whirls away in His burning anger.

Dieny tsy mbola mafanan’ ny afon-tsilo ny vilaninareo, aoka ho entin’ ny tafio-drivotra ireny, na ny lena na ny maina.

10 The righteous rejoices that he has seen vengeance, He washes his steps in the blood of the wicked.

Hifaly ny marina, raha mahita ny famaliana; hanasa ny tongony amin’ ny ran’ ny ratsy fanahy izy;

11 And man says: “Surely fruit [is] for the righteous: Surely there is a God judging in the earth!”

Dia hiteny ny olona ka hanao hoe: misy valiny tokoa ho an’ ny marina; misy tokoa Andriamanitra Izay mitsara etỳ ambonin’ ny tany.
