Psalms 58
1 For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David: Michtam. Do ye indeed in silence speak righteousness? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Itshuni ethi, “Ungabhidlizi.” ElikaDavida. Imikithamu. Lina babusi, kambe likhuluma okuqondileyo na? Lahlulela ngobuqotho yini ebantwini?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.
Hatshi, ezinhliziyweni zenu lakha amacebo okubusa kubi, lezandla zenu zijezisa ngochuku emhlabeni.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
Kwasekuzalweni ababi bayaphumputheka; kwasekuzalweni baxhwalile, beqamba amanga.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
Itshefu yabo ifana letshefu yenyoka, ifana leyebululu elingezwa umsindo,
5 Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
elingananzi lomculo wombumbi, loba lowombumbi eligabazi elinganani.
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
Khumula amazinyo emilonyeni yazo, awu Nkulunkulu; zikhumule, Oh Thixo, izingavula zezilwane!
7 Let them melt away as water that runneth apace: when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
Yekela zinyamalale njengamanzi agelezayo; zithi lapho zinweba idandili, kayithundubale imitshoko yazo.
8 [Let them be] as a snail which melteth and passeth away: [like] the untimely birth of a woman, that hath not seen the sun.
Njengomnenke uncibilika uphele ulokhu uhamba, njengomphunzo, kabangaliboni ilanga.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike.
Imbiza zakho zingakaqalisi ukutshisa ngomlilo wenkuni zameva loba ngezimanzi kumbe ngezomileyo ababi bazakhukhulelwa khatshana.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
Abalungileyo bazajabula nxa sebephindiselelwa, nxa sebegeza inyawo zabo egazini lababi.
11 So that men shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.
Lapho-ke abantu bazakuthi, “Ngempela abalungileyo bajinge bathole umvuzo; ngempela ukhona uNkulunkulu owahlulela umhlaba.”
