Psalms 58
1 To the Chief Musician. "Do not Destroy." A precious Psalm, of David. Are ye, indeed, silent [when] righteousness, ye should speak? When, with equity, ye should judge, O ye sons of men?
Untuk pemimpin biduan. Menurut lagu: Jangan memusnahkan. Miktam dari Daud. Sungguhkah kamu memberi keputusan yang adil, hai para penguasa? Apakah kamu hakimi anak-anak manusia dengan jujur?
2 Aye! ye all do work, perversity, —Throughout the land, your hands, weigh out, violence!
Malah sesuai dengan niatmu kamu melakukan kejahatan, tanganmu, menjalankan kekerasan di bumi.
3 Lawless men have been estranged from birth, They have gone astray from their nativity, speaking falsehood;
Sejak lahir orang-orang fasik telah menyimpang, sejak dari kandungan pendusta-pendusta telah sesat.
4 Their poison, is like unto the poison of a serpent, Like the deaf adder, that stoppeth his ear;
Bisa mereka serupa bisa ular, mereka seperti ular tedung tuli yang menutup telinganya,
5 That will not hearken to the voice of whisperers, Though the wise one try to bind him with spells.
yang tidak mendengarkan suara tukang-tukang serapah atau suara pembaca mantera yang pandai.
6 O God! break away their teeth in their mouth, The biters of the young lions, knock thou out, O Yahweh!
Ya Allah, hancurkanlah gigi mereka dalam mulutnya, patahkanlah gigi geligi singa-singa muda, ya TUHAN!
7 Let such men flow away like waters that disperse themselves: He prepareth his arrow, Like [grass] let them be cut down:
Biarlah mereka hilang seperti air yang mengalir lenyap! Biarlah mereka menjadi layu seperti rumput di jalan!
8 Like a snail, which melteth away as it goeth, An untimely birth of a woman, which hath not seen the sun:
Biarlah mereka seperti siput yang menjadi lendir, seperti guguran perempuan yang tidak melihat matahari.
9 Before your kettles can perceive the [kindled] bramble, Be he green or be he withered, he shall be swept away.
Sebelum periuk-periukmu merasakan api semak duri, telah dilanda-Nya baik yang hidup segar maupun yang hangus.
10 The righteous man will rejoice when he hath seen an avenging, His feet, will he bathe in the blood of the lawless one: —
Orang benar itu akan bersukacita, sebab ia memandang pembalasan, ia akan membasuh kakinya dalam darah orang fasik.
11 So that a son of earth may say—Surely there is fruit for the righteous man! Surely there are gods who judge in the earth!
Dan orang akan berkata: "Sesungguhnya ada pahala bagi orang benar, sesungguhnya ada Allah yang memberi keadilan di bumi."
