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?
Je, ninyi watawala mnaongea haki? Mnahukumu kwa haki, ninyi watu?
2 Even in heart you work iniquities, In the land you ponder the violence of your hands.
Hapana, mnafanya uovu mioyoni mwenu; munaeneza vurugu nchi yote kwa mikono yenu.
3 The wicked have been estranged from the womb, They have erred from the belly, speaking lies.
Waovu huenenda katika upotovu hata walipokuwa tumboni; wao wanaenenda katika upotovu tangu kuzaliwa, wakiongea uongo.
4 Their poison [is] as poison of a serpent, As a deaf cobra shutting its ear,
Sumu yao ni kama sumu ya nyoka; wako kama fira kiziwi azibaye masikio yake,
5 Which does not listen to the voice of whisperers, A charmer of most skillful charms.
ambaye hasikilizi sauti ya waganga, haijalishi ustadi walio nao.
6 O God, break their teeth in their mouth, Break down the jaw-teeth of young lions, O YHWH.
Vunja meno yao midomoni mwao, Mungu; uyatoe meno ya mwana simba, Yahwe.
7 They are melted as waters, They go up and down for themselves, His arrow proceeds as they cut themselves off.
Wayeyuke kama maporomoko ya maji; wafyatuapo mishale yao, iwe kama haina ncha.
8 He goes on as a snail that melts, [As] an untimely birth of a woman, They have not seen the sun.
Wawe kama konokono ambaye huyeyuka na kutoweka, kama mtoto aliye zaliwa kabla ya wakati ambaye hakuona jua.
9 Before your pots discern the bramble, As living, He whirls away in His burning anger.
Kabla ya vyungu vyenu kupata joto la kuungua kwa miiba, yeye ataviondosha kwa upepo mkali, miiba ya kijani yote na ile inayoungua.
10 The righteous rejoices that he has seen vengeance, He washes his steps in the blood of the wicked.
Mwenye haki atafurahia atakapoona kisasi cha Mungu; ataiosha miguu yake kwenye damu ya waovu,
11 And man says: “Surely fruit [is] for the righteous: Surely there is a God judging in the earth!”
hivyo watu watasema, “Hakika kuna tuzo kwa ajili ya mtu wenye haki; hakika kuna Mungu ahukumuye ulimwengu.”
