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?
Je, ninyi watawala mnaongea haki? Mnahukumu kwa haki, ninyi watu?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.
Hapana, mnafanya uovu mioyoni mwenu; munaeneza vurugu nchi yote kwa mikono yenu.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
Waovu huenenda katika upotovu hata walipokuwa tumboni; wao wanaenenda katika upotovu tangu kuzaliwa, wakiongea uongo.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
Sumu yao ni kama sumu ya nyoka; wako kama fira kiziwi azibaye masikio yake,
5 Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
ambaye hasikilizi sauti ya waganga, haijalishi ustadi walio nao.
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
Vunja meno yao midomoni mwao, Mungu; uyatoe meno ya mwana simba, Yahwe.
7 Let them melt away as water that runneth apace: when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
Wayeyuke kama maporomoko ya maji; wafyatuapo mishale yao, iwe kama haina ncha.
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.
Wawe kama konokono ambaye huyeyuka na kutoweka, kama mtoto aliye zaliwa kabla ya wakati ambaye hakuona jua.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike.
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 shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
Mwenye haki atafurahia atakapoona kisasi cha Mungu; ataiosha miguu yake kwenye damu ya waovu,
11 So that men shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.
hivyo watu watasema, “Hakika kuna tuzo kwa ajili ya mtu wenye haki; hakika kuna Mungu ahukumuye ulimwengu.”
