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?

Kumutungamiri wokuimba namaimbiro okuti, “Musaparadza.” Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Rwiyo rweMikitami. Ko, imi vatongi munotaura mukururama here? Munotonga pakati pavanhu nokururamisira here?

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

Kwete, munofunga kusaruramisira mumwoyo menyu, uye maoko enyu anomanikidza panyika.

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

Kunyange kubvira pakuberekwa, vakaipa vanofamba mukutsauka; kubva mudumbu ramai, vakaipa uye vanoreva nhema.

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

Uturu hwavo hwakaita souturu hwenyoka, vakafanana nemhakure yadzivira nzeve dzayo,

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

isingateereri maimbiro enʼanga kunyange zvazvo achiimba nouchenjeri hukuru.

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

Vhunai mazino mumiromo yavo, imi Mwari; bvisai, imi Jehovha, mazino marefu eshumba!

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

Ngavatsakatike semvura yapera kuerera; pavanowembura uta, miseve yavo ngaigomare.

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

Vafanane nehozhwa inonyakatika painofamba, kufanana negavamwedzi, ngavarege kuona zuva.

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

Hari dzenyu dzisati dzanzwa kupisa kweminzwa pamoto, ingava minyoro kana yakaoma, vakaipa vachakukurwa.

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

Vakarurama vachafara pavachatsivirwa, pavachashambidza tsoka dzavo muropa ravakaipa.

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

Ipapo vanhu vachati, “Zvirokwazvo vakarurama vachiri kungowana mubayiro; zvirokwazvo Mwari ariko anotonga nyika.”
