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?
Ali zares govorite pravičnost, oh skupnost? Ali sodite iskreno, oh vi človeški sinovi?
2 Even in heart you work iniquities, In the land you ponder the violence of your hands.
Da, v srcu počnete zlobnost, na zemlji presojate nasilje svojih rok.
3 The wicked have been estranged from the womb, They have erred from the belly, speaking lies.
Zlobni so odtujeni od maternice. Proč odidejo takoj, ko so rojeni, govoreč laži.
4 Their poison [is] as poison of a serpent, As a deaf cobra shutting its ear,
Njihov strup je podoben kačjemu strupu. Podobni so gluhemu gadu, ki si maši svoje uho,
5 Which does not listen to the voice of whisperers, A charmer of most skillful charms.
ki ne bo prisluhnil glasu krotilcev, ki nikoli ne kroti tako oprezno.
6 O God, break their teeth in their mouth, Break down the jaw-teeth of young lions, O YHWH.
Oh Bog, polomi jim njihove zobe v njihovih ustih. Mladim levom izruj velik zob, oh Gospod.
7 They are melted as waters, They go up and down for themselves, His arrow proceeds as they cut themselves off.
Naj se stopijo kakor vode, ki nenehno tečejo. Ko on napenja svoj lok, da izstreli svoje puščice, naj bodo kakor razrezani na koščke.
8 He goes on as a snail that melts, [As] an untimely birth of a woman, They have not seen the sun.
Kakor polž, ki se stopi, naj premine vsak izmed njih. Kakor preran porod ženske, da oni ne morejo videti sonca.
9 Before your pots discern the bramble, As living, He whirls away in His burning anger.
Preden lahko vaši lonci začutijo trnje, jih bo odvedel proč kakor z vrtinčastim vetrom, tako žive kakor v svojem besu.
10 The righteous rejoices that he has seen vengeance, He washes his steps in the blood of the wicked.
Pravični se bo veselil, ko vidi maščevanje. Svoja stopala si bo umil v krvi zlobnega.
11 And man says: “Surely fruit [is] for the righteous: Surely there is a God judging in the earth!”
Tako da bo človek rekel: »Resnično je nagrada za pravičnega. Resnično, on je Bog, ki sodi na zemlji.«
