Psalms 58

1 [For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem by David.] Do you rulers indeed speak righteousness? Do you judge blamelessly, you descendants of Adam?

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

2 No, in your heart you plot injustice. You measure out the violence of your hands in the earth.

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

3 The wicked go astray from the womb. They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

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

4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent; like a deaf viper that stops its ear,

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

5 which doesn't listen to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful the charmer may be.

isingateereri maimbiro enʼanga kunyange zvazvo achiimba nouchenjeri hukuru.

6 Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, YHWH.

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

7 Let them vanish as water that flows away. When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.

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

8 Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.

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

9 Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.

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

10 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;

Vakarurama vachafara pavachatsivirwa, pavachashambidza tsoka dzavo muropa ravakaipa.

11 so that men shall say, "Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous. Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth."

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