< 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?
[Psalm lal David] Kowos leum lun faclu, ya oasr pacl kowos oru nununku suwohs? Ya kowos oru nununku lowos fal nu sin mwet nukewa?
2 Aye! ye all do work, perversity, —Throughout the land, your hands, weigh out, violence!
Mo, kowos nunku na ke ma koluk kowos in oru, Ac orekma sulallal fin acn uh.
3 Lawless men have been estranged from birth, They have gone astray from their nativity, speaking falsehood;
Mwet koluk elos oru ma sufal in moul lalos nufon; Elos nuna kikiap oe ke elos isusla ah.
4 Their poison, is like unto the poison of a serpent, Like the deaf adder, that stoppeth his ear;
Elos nwanala ke pwasin, oana wet uh; Elos fonosya insraclos in sulohngkas oana wet cobra
5 That will not hearken to the voice of whisperers, Though the wise one try to bind him with spells.
Su tia lohng pusren on lun mwet akmunayalos, Ku pusren pas lun mwet orek mwenmen.
6 O God! break away their teeth in their mouth, The biters of the young lions, knock thou out, O Yahweh!
O God, kotalik wihsen lion sulallal inge.
7 Let such men flow away like waters that disperse themselves: He prepareth his arrow, Like [grass] let them be cut down:
Finsrak tuh elos in wanginla oana kof ma sororla nwe wanginla; Lela tuh elos in itungyuki oana mah su oan inkanek uh.
8 Like a snail, which melteth away as it goeth, An untimely birth of a woman, which hath not seen the sun:
Lela elos in oana ful finmes uh ma ekla nu ke ma fulful ke ac misa; Lela tuh elos in oana sie tulik fusr su isusla ke pacl sufal la ac misa ac tiana liye kalem uh.
9 Before your kettles can perceive the [kindled] bramble, Be he green or be he withered, he shall be swept away.
Meet liki elos esmakla, in pakpukla elos oana mah pilasr; Elos in srakna moul A God Elan okulosla in kasrkusrak lal.
10 The righteous man will rejoice when he hath seen an avenging, His feet, will he bathe in the blood of the lawless one: —
Mwet suwoswos elos ac fah engan ke elos liye lah kaiyuk mwet koluk uh; Elos ac fah fahsr sasla in srahn mwet koluk.
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!
Ouinge mwet elos fah fahk, “Mwet suwoswos elos eis lacnen orekma wo lalos; Pwayena lah oasr God se nununku faclu.”
