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?
Isibili likhuluma okulungileyo yini, babusi? Lehlulela ngokuqonda yini, madodana abantu?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.
Yebo, enhliziyweni lenza okubi, lilinganisa udlakela lwezandla zenu emhlabeni.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
Ababi baba ngabemzini kusukela esiswini, bayaduha kusukela esizalweni, beqamba amanga.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
Ubuhlungu babo bunjengobuhlungu benyoka, banjengebululu elingezwayo, elivimba indlebe yalo,
5 Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
ukuze lingezwa ilizwi labalumbi abalumba amalumbo ngokuhlakanipha.
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
Nkulunkulu, yephula amazinyo abo emlonyeni wabo, uphohloze amazinyo emihlathi yamabhongo ezilwane, Nkosi.
7 Let them melt away as water that runneth apace: when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
Kabancibilike njengamanzi agelezayo; nxa egobisa idandili lakhe ukutshoka umtshoko wakhe, babe njengabaqunywe iziqa.
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.
Kahambe njengomnenke oncibilikayo; njengomphunzo owesifazana, 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 zenu zingakaluzwa ukhuni lwameva, uzabaphephula esiphephweni njengabaphilayo njengentukuthelweni.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
Olungileyo uzathokoza lapho ebona impindiselo, uzageza inyawo zakhe egazini lomubi.
11 So that men shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.
Ukuze umuntu athi: Impela ukhona umvuzo wolungileyo; impela ukhona uNkulunkulu owahlulela emhlabeni.
