< 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?
Toe mitaron-kavantañañe hao t’ie mitsiñe? mizaka an-kahiti’e hao, ry ana’ ondatio?
2 Even in heart you work iniquities, In the land you ponder the violence of your hands.
Hete, te mone hatsivokarañe ty itoloña’areo an-troke ao; lanjae’ areo amy taney o fitavanam-pità’areoo.
3 The wicked have been estranged from the womb, They have erred from the belly, speaking lies.
Amoean-kovin-drene’e ty lo-tsereke, mañariok’ añe vata’e miboloañe ty mpivolam-bande.
4 Their poison [is] as poison of a serpent, As a deaf cobra shutting its ear,
Hoe vorem-pandrefe’ala ty vore’ iareo, manahake o meren-kareñeñe manentsen-tsofiñeo,
5 Which does not listen to the voice of whisperers, A charmer of most skillful charms.
tsy hahatsanoña’e ty fikoràn’ambiasa ndra ty pandrombo-jiny bey.
6 O God, break their teeth in their mouth, Break down the jaw-teeth of young lions, O YHWH.
Ry Andrianañahare, rofoto am-bava’e ao o nife’eo, atrankaño ty famotsi’ o liona tora’eo, ry Iehovà
7 They are melted as waters, They go up and down for themselves, His arrow proceeds as they cut themselves off.
Angao hisaok’ añe iereo hoe rano vohitse; Lonik’abey te ho zoeñe domoke o ama-paleo t’ie mañohatse o fale’eo.
8 He goes on as a snail that melts, [As] an untimely birth of a woman, They have not seen the sun.
Lonike t’ie hanahake ty harevo’ o sifotse mihamodo te misitseo, hoe ajaja miboloañe tsy mahatrea i àndroy.
9 Before your pots discern the bramble, As living, He whirls away in His burning anger.
Aolo te hahamae valàñe o afom-patikeo, le fonga ho faohe’e an-talìo ty leñe naho ty mibebañe,
10 The righteous rejoices that he has seen vengeance, He washes his steps in the blood of the wicked.
Hirebeke o vañoñeo te mahaisake i famaleañey, ho sasà’e an-dio’ o tsivokatseo o fandia’eo
11 And man says: “Surely fruit [is] for the righteous: Surely there is a God judging in the earth!”
Vaho hanao ty hoe ondatio: Toe tsy ho po-tambe o vantañeo; toe eo t’i Andrianañahare mizaka an-tane atoy.
