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?

Načelniku godbe: "Ne pogubi"; Davidova pesem odlična. Ali zares, o krdelo, govorite pravico? po pravici sodite, sinovi človeški?

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

Ne, celo iz srca počenjate krivice; v tej deželi tehtate rok svojih silovitost.

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

V stran zavijajo krivični od rojstva; tavajo od materinega telesa laž govoreč.

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

Strup imajo podoben kačjemu strupu; kakor gada gluhega, ki si maši uho svoje.

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

Kateri ne posluša glasú mrmrajočih, njega, ki zna zagovarjati jako.

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

O Bog, zdróbi jim zobe v njih ustih; mladih levov kočnike poderi, Gospod!

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

Stopé se naj kakor voda, odidejo naj neprestano; njemu, ki napenja pušice svoje, izpremené se naj kakor v klasje pušice.

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 topi, bode naj vsak, kakor žene splav, kakor ki niso videli solnca.

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

Ko se ne bode še čutilo trnje vaše, trnje ščipkovo, tako zeleno kakor suho podrl bode vse.

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

Radoval se bode pravični, ko bode videl maščevanje; noge svoje bode umival v krivičnega krvi.

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

In človek poreče: Vendar ima sad pravični, vendar je sodnik na zemlji!
