< Psalms 58 >

1 “For the leader of the music. To the tune of “Do not destroy.” A psalm of David.” Do ye, indeed, administer justice faithfully, ye mighty ones? Do ye judge with uprightness, ye sons of men?
Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi “kadi vonda”. A buevi, beno bapfumu, mu busonga lueti yolukilanga e? Mu bufuana lueti sambisilanga batu e?
2 Nay, in your hearts ye contrive iniquity; Your hands weigh out violence in the land!
Nana! Mu mintima mieno, lueti yindula makambulu masonga ayi mioko mieno milembo muangisa makhemi va ntoto.
3 The wicked are estranged, from their very birth; The liars go astray as soon as they are born.
Tona mu mbutukulu, batu bambimbi beti zimbala; tona mu vumu, ntu ngolo badi ayi bantubanga luvunu.
4 They have poison, like the poison of a serpent; Like the deaf adder's, which stoppeth her ear;
Mitsa miawu midi banga mitsa mi nioka, banga kusa kizibikidi matu mandi
5 Which listeneth not to the voice of the charmer, And of the sorcerer, skilful in incantations.
kinkambu wa mbembo yi batu bansakisanga zinioka; mbembo yi ndoki yiyenda tsangu.
6 Break their teeth, O God! in their mouths! Break out the great teeth of the lions, O LORD!
Kola meno mu miunu miawu, a Nzambi; vuza, a Yave, meno ma zikhosi.
7 May they melt like waters, which flow away; May their arrows, when they aim them, be as if cut in pieces!
Bika balalakana banga maza ma nkumba! Mu thangu bambansula mimbasa miawu, bika madionga mawu maba makambu tsongi
8 May they be like the snail, which melteth away as it goeth; Like the abortion of a woman, that seeth not the sun!
banga khodi yinsiuta bu yilembo diati; banga muana wusuluka bika kabika mona thangu.
9 Before your pots feel the heat of the thorns, Whether fresh, or burning, may they be blown away!
Tuamina zinzungu zieno zimona diamu di zitsendi ziba zinlangu voti ziyuma, batu bambimbi bela kombulu.
10 The righteous shall rejoice, when he seeth such vengeance; He shall bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.
Basonga bela mona khini bu bela mona landi kioki bela kuba vutudila; bela sukula malu mawu mu menga ma batu bambimbi.
11 Then shall men say, “Truly there is a reward for the righteous! Truly there is a God who is judge upon the earth!”
Batu bela tuba: “Bukiedika; basonga bantambulanga mfutu mu kadika thangu. Bukiedika vadi Nzambi weti sambisa va ntoto.”
