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?
Načelniku godbe: "Ne pogubi"; Davidova pesem odlična. Ali zares, o krdelo, govorite pravico? po pravici sodite, sinovi človeški?
2 Aye! ye all do work, perversity, —Throughout the land, your hands, weigh out, violence!
Ne, celo iz srca počenjate krivice; v tej deželi tehtate rok svojih silovitost.
3 Lawless men have been estranged from birth, They have gone astray from their nativity, speaking falsehood;
V stran zavijajo krivični od rojstva; tavajo od materinega telesa laž govoreč.
4 Their poison, is like unto the poison of a serpent, Like the deaf adder, that stoppeth his ear;
Strup imajo podoben kačjemu strupu; kakor gada gluhega, ki si maši uho svoje.
5 That will not hearken to the voice of whisperers, Though the wise one try to bind him with spells.
Kateri ne posluša glasú mrmrajočih, njega, ki zna zagovarjati jako.
6 O God! break away their teeth in their mouth, The biters of the young lions, knock thou out, O Yahweh!
O Bog, zdróbi jim zobe v njih ustih; mladih levov kočnike poderi, Gospod!
7 Let such men flow away like waters that disperse themselves: He prepareth his arrow, Like [grass] let them be cut down:
Stopé se naj kakor voda, odidejo naj neprestano; njemu, ki napenja pušice svoje, izpremené se naj kakor v klasje pušice.
8 Like a snail, which melteth away as it goeth, An untimely birth of a woman, which hath not seen the sun:
Kakor polž, ki se topi, bode naj vsak, kakor žene splav, kakor ki niso videli solnca.
9 Before your kettles can perceive the [kindled] bramble, Be he green or be he withered, he shall be swept away.
Ko se ne bode še čutilo trnje vaše, trnje ščipkovo, tako zeleno kakor suho podrl bode vse.
10 The righteous man will rejoice when he hath seen an avenging, His feet, will he bathe in the blood of the lawless one: —
Radoval se bode pravični, ko bode videl maščevanje; noge svoje bode umival v krivičnega krvi.
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!
In človek poreče: Vendar ima sad pravični, vendar je sodnik na zemlji!
