Psalms 58
1 When you mighty men speak, you never say what is right; you never decide things about people justly [RHQ]!
Para el director del coro. Según la melodía de “No destruir”. Un salmo (mictam) de David. Líderes, ¿hablan ustedes con rectitud? ¿Realmente juzgan a la gente de forma justa?
2 No, in your inner beings you think only about doing what is wrong, and you commit violent crimes in this land [of Israel].
No, porque en sus mentes planean el mal. ¡Causan violencia por todas partes!
3 Wicked people do wrong things and tell lies from the time that they are born [DOU].
Los malvados son pecadores desde el nacimiento; desde el momento en que son dados a luz dicen mentiras.
4 God, show in the heavens how great you are! And show your glory to people all over the earth! What wicked people say [injures people like] the venom of a snake [MET]; They refuse to listen to good advice, [as though they were] cobras that were deaf [MET]!
Tienen veneno como de una serpiente venenosa, y al igual que una cobra dejan de escuchar,
5 As a result, [like a snake that does not respond when] a charmer plays a flute or when someone sings magic songs, [they do not pay attention when others rebuke them].
rehusándose a escuchar la voz de los encantadores y los hechiceros.
6 God, as for these enemies who [want to attack me like] young lions, break their teeth!
Dios, rompe sus dientes, y quiebra los colmillos de estos leones, Señor.
7 Cause them to disappear like water disappears [in dry ground]! Cause the arrows that they shoot to have no (heads/sharp points)!
Que se desvanezcan como el agua que fluye lejos; que cuando disparan sus arcos pierdan su blanco.
8 Cause them to become like snails that disappear in the slime; cause them to be like babies that are born dead!
Que sean como la baba de los caracoles que se disuelve, como un niño que no nació y nunca vio la luz del día.
9 Get rid of them [as fast as] thornbushes are blown away [after they are cut] (OR, [as fast as] a fire heats a pot over burning thorns).
Antes de que la olla de espinos ardientes se caliente, sea que estén frescos o secos, Dios los esparcirá.
10 Righteous people will rejoice when they see wicked people being punished as they deserve; they will wash their feet in the blood of wicked people.
Los que viven con rectitud se alegrarán cuando vean que hay un castigo; lavarán sus pies en la sangre de los malvados.
11 [Then] people will say, “It is true that there is a reward for righteous people; and there is indeed a God who judges people justly here on the earth!”
Dirán, “Definitivamente hay un premio para aquellos que viven haciendo el bien; ciertamente hay un Dios que juzga de forma justa sobre la tierra”.
